About: Erin and I both grew up with dogs and love having them around. Between caring for our siblings dogs periodically and being primary care takers of our dogs growing up we feel equipped to provide a safe and caring home. I am a remote worker so I am home throughout the week. Erin is a part time substitute teacher so she is home a few days as well. We would have lots of time to attend to a dog throughout the day and be able to provide lots of 1x1 time, walks, and playtime in the back yard. We have a fenced in back yard and live in a walkable neighborhood. We are currently a pet free house so your dog would be the only one here with us. We would allow access to all furniture except the bedroom door would remain closed. We can also accommodate a crate if needed
“Arya, my floofy samoyed, loved loved staying with Zoe. She took Arya on many hikes, even got her a christmas present, and sent me many photos showing how relaxed Arya was. Can't recommend her enough”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Pawtucket is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pawtucket
I had a wonderful experience leaving Max with Shawn! She has a lovely backyard where Max could play and enjoy himself, and she took such great care of him. She was caring, attentive, and professional, which gave me peace of mind knowing Max was in good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
Alex was so wonderful to work with and Peter truly was not ready to leave when I went to pick him up. She sent tons of updates with photos, was incredibly responsive, and most importantly took great care of our pup. We will absolutely be using her again when we’re in the area!
Doris was just wonderful! My sweet Ellie is a senior and needed meds given at multiple times a day, and also needed gentle loving care. I was so worried to leave her! Doris responded to a call and all texts promptly. Many pictures were sent and I truly was able to not worry as much after I left, as I did before I left. Thank you Doris!!
John was fantastic. He was very communicative, detail oriented, and really took the extra step to make sure my dog was happy and taken care of. I could tell he really loves and understands what it means to take care of dogs and I had great peace of mind knowing that my dog was in such good hands.
Ty and her family welcomed our pup Nelly into their home with love and care. We had a relaxing vacation knowing that Nelly was well taken care of. Ty sent adorable pictures and updates and was very responsive and super easy to coordinate with. We’re first time dog owners and it was obvious that Ty was experienced and helped guide us throughout the process. Thank you Ty!
Everything was perfect. Loki had a fantastic weekend with Veronica and Nick. I highly recommend them! They communicated well, sent lots of photos, and were very patient with my questions. This was my first time using Rover, but I felt very safe leaving Loki with them and will definitely use them again.
Lisa is amazing! She has lots of toys, and a one level home with a safe and beautiful fenced backyard. Lisa regularly sent us updates including images and videos of our happy dog. We wholeheartedly recommend Lisa and plan on having our dog stay at Chez Lisa again some time in the future.
If i could give more than 5 stars i would. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Sonia was aware of this and did everything she could to put my mind at ease. She sent frequent updates and pictures of him living his best life. When I picked up my dog he was clearly happy and well taken care of. I will absolutely leave my dog with Sonia again.
Yasmil was an amazing sitter for my dog. This was my first time using Rover, I was away for 6 days so I was a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. She sent daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She took great care of him and kept me reassured the whole time. I felt super comfortable leaving him with her. I will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Pawtucket can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pawtucket home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pawtucket.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pawtucket. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Pawtucket sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
