“Michelle was wonderful with our cat Cooper. We appreciated the time she took getting to know us and all about his likes and needs. We knew he was well taken care of while we were away and could see how happy he was with her through the updates she shared and how calm and cheery he was when we arrived home. Thank you Michelle!”
About: I have taken care of animals (mostly cats and dogs) for almost 10 years. I have helped multiple family and friends pets and are comfortable with feeding them meds, walking, and keeping them company, among many other things. Currently, pet sitting is my only job so I have tons of free time on my hands to help people out. It fills me with great joy to be able to be there for someone’s animal when they aren’t around. I prefer to keep the pets at the clients home because I know it is where they are most comfortable. I love being able to make myself comfortable while also looking after the pet.
“Melissa was great to work with! Very responsive and professional and was so willing to work with us. She even offered to make a brief additional stop to put away our cat food that was delivered while we were away! She sent us great pictures of our boys and our boys very much approved upon our return 😺 would absolutely book again.”
“Taylor was a fantastic help with our two cats while we were away. I get a little nervous when we are out of town because one of the cats needs medication, but Taylor's photos and messages left me reassured that everything was going well. She was very prompt in replying to my messages, and even went out of her way to help us with a mailbox problem that came up! I would definitely ask her to take care of our pets again.”
About: I've loved dogs my whole life, and was privileged enough to have two mixed terriers in my household growing up. I was always involved in their care, from going on walks with them to being in charge of feeding them and letting them out. As they reached later life, I grew accustomed to caring for their more complicated health related needs. I've had experience hosting a dog in my own home, and have also dogsat in the client's home for an extended period of time, including overnight stay. I have experienced oral medicine administration, following a specific feeding regimen, and being a comforting presence for a dog with strong need for attachment and companionship. I have been friendly with dogs my whole life, and I'm excited to meet yours! I'm free during almost the entire week, days and nights, except for midday on Saturdays and Sundays. Looking forward to scheduling an appointment with you! My home has a small fenced side yard, but I know of more expansive spaces, both fenced and unfenced, within walking distance of my house that I would be happy to take any pup to. I have experience heeding to a detailed feeding regimen, cleaning the food bowls regularly, and keeping to a consistent schedule with letting the dog in and out of the house. I am always open to walks if requested, including going multiple times a day. Bringing a comforting presence is my top priority in pet care. Making sure your pet is comfortable and not feeling lonely is one of the biggest ways to keep their spirits up while their favorite human(s) are away, and I am willing to heed almost any request made by the owner to ensure their standards are met.
About: I’ve owned dogs. Use to have a pit lab mix that was special needs. Would walk him, play with him daily of course along with his special requirements that was needed for his disability. Currently have 4 cats! And in a vet tech program while working at a pet store, I care for animals daily I currently work for June bug! Another amazing dog walking/pet sitting organization.

“Grace did a great job watching my cat. She fed her, cleaned the litter and sent me pictures and/or comments each day. My cat isn't very friendly with people that she doesn't know and Grace handled it just fine. Would be happy to have her come again.”
“It was a pleasure to have Susan look after our cat, Mara, while we went on vacation. Upon meeting her, it was clear she really loves animals and wanted our pet to be calm and content while we were away. Susan's updates were prompt, detailed, and had lots of pictures. We came home to a very happy cat and would gladly book Susan again in the future!”
About: I've grown up with family dogs and have been involved in their daily care for years. Through that experience, I've learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular exercise, feeding on schedule, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos along the way! I'm currently working full-time, but I have availability on weeknights and weekends! I'm willing to work on holidays as well and am happy to accommodate the owner's needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences the pet has. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pawtucket
Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.
Emily is SO fabulous with my senior retired service dog Miss Lana! She is a big girl and has arthritis, but Emily knows how to help us, and even when Lana has some accidents indoors (I mean she is 15!! lol) she was so kind and cleaned up as well. She is an excellent communicator too, and takes lots of good doggy pictures for this mom who misses her girl!! Thank you Emily 💗🤩
Michelle was absolutely awesome! Just as her reviews read, she was very professional, easy to work with, and an amazing photographer!!! Loved the constant updates and she went above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone and would definitely book again! Thanks Michelle!!!!!
Rachel was great!! She was on time, and so graceful figuring out some things we forgot to go over before we left (old house problems). Daisy loved her and we will def be booking again! Knowing someone caring and responsible is taking care of your pets is truly a gift when you have to be away from them. Thank you so much Rachel!!
Caroline is exceptional. Dependable, thoughtful, and a truly caring communicator from start to finish. Our dog is older and has special care needs, and Caroline handled everything with patience, confidence, and genuine kindness. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. Five stars without hesitation.
Gilisa is amazing! I'm so happy with Gilisa. Her communication put my mind at ease. She sent videos, pictures, loved on my spoiled babies and even cleaned up an accident. She's amazing and your babies are in wonderful loving hands. Absolutely love her and will definitely book again
We can’t recommend Kelly highly enough! She has watched our dog multiple weekends and during longer vacations, and we always feel completely at ease knowing he's in her care. Our pup has higher needs—he struggles with anxiety and can be slow to trust new people—but Kelly was incredibly patient and understanding from the start. She took the time to build a relationship with him and gained his trust so much quicker than we ever expected. Kelly is also a fantastic communicator. She checks in regularly during visits and always sends thoughtful updates with photos and notes that help us feel connected while we’re away. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive, Kelly is it!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pawtucket stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Pawtucket 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!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Pawtucket with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
