“Marie was an absolute joy and took amazing care of my cat, Arbie, and dog, Tycho. Not only was she willing to sit with fairly short notice but did everything right. 12/10 would recommend! 😊”
About: Formerly Haley and Kelly, now Kelly with appearances from Haley! Pet care in your home or mine. Boarding at my home is welcome to (preferably - but temperament depending) smaller animals that my chill, small, senior dogs and independent cat are safe with. Pet care in YOUR home - the criteria above doesn't apply. Let's have a meet and greet to see if we're a good fit! ....................................................................... After leaving some beloved clients back home in Portland, OR, I'm beginning my pet sitting journey here in Rhode Island! I left some beloved clients back home in Portland, OR when I moved to RI two years ago - I look forward to meeting new folks in the area and providing the same, high standard of care. In addition to my lifelong history of providing love and care for animals, I have 5 years of experience working in a busy dog daycare setting, several years in a progressive and education forward pet store and 20 years experience providing care and boarding animals in my home and theirs. Safety and comfort are absolute top priorities when it comes to my own pets and the pets I care for. I'm experienced at providing specialized and homemade diets as well as administering medication to cats and dogs. Haley and I have been pet first aid certified through Dove Lewis in Portland, OR. With a very tiny, blind, senior Yorkie of our own, I understand the vulnerability of our pets and can provide the care they need to feel safe and happy while their families are away. A special emphasis on special needs pets and seniors, as we have years of experience with them. I'm currently taking time off work until early 2027. I'm a student full time but I have a ton of flexibility as I continue online/virtual coursework that allows me to work anywhere, anytime. I have a large, fenced in backyard where we spend time gardening and doing yard work in the spring/summer. I frequent Dexter park often and look forward to bumping into the other park regulars and their dogs. My dogs are low energy seniors who prefer to spend most of their time inside, especially in the colder months - (along with Haley working from home with them part time) this allows me to give most of my attention to the pets I'm sitting. Bug is a young, independent cat who grew up with Izzy and Stevie and often behaves more like a dog than a cat - she stays inside the home full time unless supervised with a harness/leash.
“Zoe was amazing! We had a last minute need for 10 days for our golden retriever and she cared for Rosie like her own dog. She’s delightful, trustworthy, and capable. We’re so happy we met her.”
About: Hi! I’m Dechen and my family and I have had 4 dogs, all of which I’ve helped take care of. I love dogs and taking long walks, so I’m looking to find positions that allows me to connect two things I love :) I also currently live with a 4 year old black lab named Olive. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your dog! I’m currently in PA school on clinical rotations and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue! If my schedule works with what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day! Through past babysitting experiences, I have gained the trust of many local families as well as families in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I have worked with children since I was 16, and have proven to be a responsible, trustworthy, and caring caregiver and person. I will uphold the same care with your dogs, and look forward to spending time with them! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Jada was excellent with my dogs. This was my first time using Rover services so I was a bit nervous not knowing what to expect. I set up a meetiNg date prior to hiring Jada. She answered my questions and we both felt like good match . She was respectful, communicative and on time. Sent me photos of the dogs with updates. My dogs really loved her. I would recommend her services and will contact her again.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was young. I had a cat of my own for 5 years, watched my neighbor's cat and dog many times when she went away, and now I have my own dog. I've trained my own dog to do many tricks and we have so much fun playing frisbee in the park. I'm also a farmer so I'm passionate about caring for animals and making sure they live a good life. I'm looking to walk dogs in the evenings and on weekends, and can watch dogs/cats over night at the owner's house. I want to make sure your animal is as comfortable as can be while you are away! I'm located near a few parks and also enjoy running so I'm a very active person to care for your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I will do whatever I can to make sure your pet has an enjoyable time while you are gone, and I want to stick to your pet’s normal routine!
“Anja was great with our two dogs. One of our pups is nervous around new people. Anja was patient and compassionate with her. We felt very comfortable about leaving them with Anja. We knew they were in capable hands.”
About: Hi! I have been pet sitting with my non-reactive pup Sylvie for a number of friend's cats and dogs since COVID (usually as a favor) in and out of the New England area. I work at an arts non-profit in PVD and can drive. I can pet-sit and do limited amounts of dog training. Right now I work in a dog-friendly place 10 minutes from my home and my partner is working from home. We like going on hikes and to the dog parks. I would not bring a client's pet to my workplace, but a pet would always have someone with them at all times or at least not be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I am most flexible on weekends and for overnight care. I have a fenced yard, a crate, and multiple rooms in the home with pocket doors that can split a larger room into two if needed. We usually let pets have free range of home or section off the living room depending on the temperament and needs of the pet.
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our two pups, and with house sitting! She took excellent care of our Saint Bernard and Golden Retriever, making sure not only were they cared for, but loved! Lots of play time and tons of pics and vids sent our way so we knew they were happy and healthy! We came home to a spotless house. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Julia helped us out last minute when we couldn't find anyone to stay with our dogs overnight. She was great! She communicated with us and took good care of our 2 goldendoodles. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Emma was amazing. Finn was very happy when we came home. She sent us many pictures and videos of Finn during the week she was here. We are very pleased and will definitely use her again.”
“Reese is absolutely fantastic. Both Bertha and Milo absolutely loved her. She stayed with them for the week and took care of all of their needs. I would highly recommend and will be sure to contact her again when I need another sitter.”
“Xavier is great! He has stayed over at my place and taken care of my extremely anxious (and aggressive with other animals) Pit Bull mix multiple times now. He always sends pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: I love dogs & cats. I love walking & hanging out with animals - sometimes more than people! :) I have a very healthy respect for a dog's nature, and have owned & trained our own German Shepherd and worked with trainers in doing so. Our Jack was a big beautiful boy, & was with us until he passed at 12 years of age, 3 years ago. Not one day goes by that I do not miss him, his company, & our walks. Being a German Shepherd (125 lbs), I had to learn how to handle him, teach him, exercise him, train him, wash him, brush him endlessly, and of course, learn how to be trained by him as well. ;) Also being a typical GSD, he got into every situation imaginable - skunks, possums, eating electrical cords, moving furniture, cat chasing, bee stings, chasing garbage trucks, escaping, opening every lock possible, chasing everything, learning to leash walk, and finally, surgical procedures and cancer treatments to seniorhood. I learned to put the phone down on our walks & just be with him & absorb what he sees & hears....I still do this when dog walking with other dogs. It's really one of the best parts of any day as far as I am concerned, & it takes a special kind of quiet & attention to the dog to get the most of it. I have worked with small & medium dogs as well both as clients and in my family. I LOVE WALKING WITH DOGS!!! It's a nature thing, it's a natural thing, & something I enjoy immensely rain, snow, or preferably sunny conditions. I do not work full-time, so my freedom is good. I have one dog walk currently scheduled daily which takes about an hour or so. I am available locally in RI or nearby Massachusetts, or my husband works in Nantucket so I can provide walks out there if needed by anyone on the Island. I would expect to work with the client's home in whatever capacity needed for their pet(s). We can walk, keep it in the yard, relax, play ... whatever is required by the pet owner.
About: Hi! My name is Natasha and I am a lover of all pups big and small. I have a pup of my own who loves new mates, play dates , and time spent hiking. I have a “small dog” kennel, a “big dog” kennel, toys, doggie pillows, and dog treats/food. I am looking forward to working with you and your four-legged friends!! I have a pup of my own names Huckleberry and our typical daily routine is waking up early so he can get his exercise in, then we feed, and then we either get a few hours to hangout before work at noon or it’s an early shift at 9. He has the ability to come inside and outside with leisure and every day I come home mid shift to check in. My yard is fenced and my Mr. Huckleberry is a very dog oriented canine who absolutely loves new pup friends which makes our home a good place for all dogs. In the case of clients homes it definitely suits the comfortability for the pup to be in their own environment, but I don’t have a preference!
“Rayna was great to work with as she took care of our little pup Ollie! She was an amazing communicator, sent regular pictures, took Ollie on good walks and took great care of our house. We would be lucky to work with her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Providence is $64
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Providence
JL house sit for 7days while I was abroad. He took the utmost care with Angus and my home. JL sent me daily updates, pictures and video. I am so happy our paths crossed. I would highly recommend JL. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Thank you, JL, for taking great care of my fella! Until next time.
Cailey was great with my furbaby. She put in a very long day when I had a wedding to go to and stayed the entire time without complaint, playing with her, walking her and feeding her. She continually left me photos and updated me on how she was doing. My furbaby loved her. Thank you Cailey!!
Amanda was great with my anxious pitty mix who is aggressive with other dogs. She was very communicative and scheduled a meet n greet on short notice. She asked lots of questions and made sure she was prepared for the overnight stay at our place. Highly recommend!
Zoe went above and beyond what we could have ever been expected of a pet sitter - one of our cats unfortunately started having seizures for the first time in his life the second day we were away on our eight day vacation. Zoe brought him to the emergency vet for us, picked him up two days later, and administered anti-seizure meds three times a days for the remainder of our vacation. In addition to this, Zoe took excellent care of our other pets and sent us pictures daily. She was attentive, responsive, and took care of all of our babies as if they were her own. Do yourself and your pets a favor and book Zoe for your next pet sitting needs.
Rena not only made Kobe feel comfortable in evenings where he was feeling the thunder scaries but she also had some of the best communication I have experienced from a sitter. Throughout all visits, I got updates and she always followed up on my requests. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet bubba!
Harper was so good with our two dogs! Wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Great, clear, quick communication which makes everything less stressful. She was adaptable to our changing schedule. Sent us pictures and most importantly the dogs seemed calm and unstressed.
We’re so happy to have found Noah. We have two older cats that are more like dogs in terms of their need for humans and a blind kitten who’s never been left for any extended time. We met with Noah and he helped us to determine the right timing/visits. He gave us daily updates, pics, and videos showing how clearly happy our babies were with their caregiver. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip, gone was any anxiety about them being alone for a long weekend. There’s no doubt we’ll be booking Noah for future trips.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Providence is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Providence walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Providence maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Providence choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
