“Noah took great care of my cats and sent thorough updates, which I appreciated! He was easy to communicate with and enjoys getting to know cats’ personalities and playing with them. I definitely recommend him and will try to work with him again in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of my own pets and animals my whole life, but recently expanded into watching and doing over night care, dog walking, and pet care for neighbors, family and friends. I’m also insured through Pet Sitters Associates! I’m currently going to Rhode Island College and pursuing my bachelors in Secondary Education. I also work part-time at a local hotel 3-11pm. This means I’m prettt flexible with when I can drop in to do pet-sitting and many of my classes have hour gaps in between so I can fit in pet visits! For my dogs at home, I ensure routine feedings are being followed to their timed feeding, I also focus on walking my own dogs 2-4 times a day, depending on which dog! In my own home I have 3 dogs, and 2 cats. For cats I also focus on ensuring that cats are following their feeding schedule, also ensuring that they are being played with, and enrichment is being provided.
“Heath did an amazing job watching our pups! I have 3 dogs and one is a senior dog with mobility issues. All the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Heath was also very communicative, and punctual with all the drop in times. We will absolutely book him again for future persisting needs!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
“Maya is great! My dogs loved her! She was very attentive with my 14-year old dog and went above and beyond to take care of her! My other 2 dogs adored her, too. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. I currently have two dogs one 8 and one 7 at my parents home where I currently live. My brother and sister in law also have two dogs 2 and 1 years old. When my parents and them travel, I am in charge of the 4 of them at my house and we are all on a routine where everything is under control and still having fun. When needed, I do go to my brothers to take them for a walk and play with them to break up their day of being in the house. I am currently part time worker, so I have more free time during the week and figured I could use my time to help out dog lovers like yourself! For dog walking, I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet and yourself are satisfied with my job. I will be safe but fun at the same time making sure your pets are cared for properly.
“Justina was EXCELLENT. She was very communicative and prompt. She treated my cat very well and kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I will definitely be reaching out next time I am out of town!”
“Annemarie took great care of our kitten and dog while we were away! She provided descriptive Rover cards with pics that gave us peace of mind that our furry friends were doing well at home. We would definitely recommend!”
“Valery is great. She is so great with my cat and goes above and beyond. She’s caring and you can really tell how. UCB she loves animals. I’m happy to have found her!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me! I’ve grown up with dogs and have hands-on experience walking and helping care for my own fur babies over the as well as my siblings’ dogs. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, taking a potty break, playing, or relaxing together during a drop-in visit, I’ll treat your fur baby with the same care and affection I’d want someone to give my own! 🐾❤️ I recently relocated to Rhode Island for Work (which though flexible, isn’t consistent enough to allow me to be able to have a dog of my own 😢) I balance my pet care commitments with a full-time career, so I understand how important scheduling and reliability are! My availability varies throughout the week, with opportunities for weekday visits, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine while making sure I can give them the attention and care they deserve. I value communication, planning ahead, and keeping pet parents updated, so you can feel confident your fur baby is in caring hands! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s fur baby seriously and will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking routines, potty breaks, and any special needs. During walks, I’ll stay attentive to our surroundings and keep your pup secure on their leash. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water if needed, a clean and safe space, and plenty of love and attention. I will treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring doors are securely locked, belongings are respected, and your pet is comfortable before I leave. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a safe environment! 🐾❤️
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, I've raised puppies and kittens and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty! I also work for All Tails R Wagging in Foxboro MA, and Furry Fellas here in Providence doing dog walking and petsitting! I am quite experienced in pet care for many different animals including reptiles, birds, and rodents. I also have pet CPR/First Aid training and can handle senior care, med management, and more. I have my regular dog walking job throughout the week in bursts, but other than that you can find my schedule extremely flexible for weekends, holidays, and more. I am not a good fit for 24/7 constant care as I leave and drop in several times a day. I can provide up to 4 drop ins daily plus overnights. I am very sensitive to each individual pet's needs including medical conditions requiring medication, and other conditions like separation anxiety. If you have a highly energetic one, I will be out in the yard playing often, or walking them for a long time. For cats, they can get the space they sometimes want, or they can cuddle up on me for hours. I have cleaned up a myriad of messes quite successfully as well, haha.
About: I have been taking care of my dog since he came into the family at just 8 months old and I loved caring for him so much I decided to get my own cat a few years ago. This is my part time job as I am currently a student! I try my best to keep my schedule flexible enough to care for my own pets at home along with my personal time. I’m mostly available during mornings and afternoons during the week. On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I am available after 3:30 P.M. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day! No pet is too big or too small for me, I have experience with pets all sizes. I have been taking care of my family dog since he was just a puppy and he is now 11 years old! I have had plenty of years of experience with pets as I have also taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends. You can count on me to safely take care of your pet.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20 years old. Friends have relied on me to do week long overnights with their pets and walk them each day! I love dogs and hope to work with your family soon! I'm currently a teacher looking to make some money and hang with my favorite animals! I love walking. My schedule will become more flexible in the next couple of weeks! I always listen to what the owners prefer. I make sure that they are on a leash when needed and treat the animals with respect and care.
About: Hii! I volunteered at shelters but I preferred building a relationship with pets in Rhode Island :) I grew up around many dogs and cats. A fun challenge was when we adopted our German Shepherd puppy! Training him was a fun challenge, but it was harder (yet more rewarding) when we adopted his brother as well! Now they’re grown and trained but I can still see the little puppy they are in their eyes! I also have a senior dog that needs extra care, but I love making sure she’s comfy and gets her massages. I work a hybrid 9-5, so I can make time mornings and evenings for pet care. On my work from home days I am more flexible to do care during the day. Weekends are fully available! In your home I would make sure pets are in their designated areas and can’t escape! Cleanliness is the largest thing I would keep in mind while making sure your pet is comfortable!
About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.
“Jamie did a drop-in for our pup and we couldn't be happier. She took great care of him, re-filled his water bowl, sent great pictures, picked up his #2s, and even let us know about a wayward tennis ball that ended up in our neighbors yard during a game of fetch! We'd definitely have her come again for additional visits in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive pet lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From energetic pups who need long walks and playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra patience, I’m confident in adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, crate training, and reinforcing any habits or routines you already have in place. My services include walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention to make sure your pet stays happy and stress-free. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s space. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently work hybrid, Monday thru Thursday at office from 8-4 with ability to come home for lunch or end day early if needed. Fridays, I work remote. Sundays I got to church and then pretty much a home body rest of the day I prefer to stay at clients home so the fur baby is never alone. I’m currently not taking any pets to my place as it’s a rented room, but will absolutely be happy to stay the night

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston
As always Genevieve is wonderful. Cats are happy, and she went above and beyond in coordinating and monitoring a tricky feeding setup. She has been helping is for several years and we feel at ease even for weeks away knowing she is in charge. Great communicator too.
Zoe was wonderful with my baby Pluto. She sent me lots of photos and was accommodating to his needs. She was very easy to get in contact with while I was away and treated my dog as her own. I am pretty sure my pup already misses her visits!! Zoe is a great sitter and I recommend booking with her.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Shannon was wonderful with my dogs and treated them with so much care, patience, and love. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. Communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be using them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Johnston is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,137 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Johnston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
