About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.
“Allyssah was great with my three dogs during her drop in visits. She took the time to meet them while I was home prior to the visits and was very friendly and asked good questions to make sure she was prepared. She was very punctual and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would book her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Orli! I am a recent college grad who has 10+ years of animal care experience. From hanging out with our family dog (Munchkin, Jack Russell Terrier) to volunteering at the Providence Animal Rescue League, I have loved every moment with these wonderful animals. While any Rover sitter might be a fellow animal lover, here is what I have to offer: -Experience with birds, small animals, cats, and dogs ranging from 15-70 lbs. -Reliable transportation (I own my car and am happy to transport your furry friends) -Familiarity with beautiful New England excursion spots (dog parks, hiking trails, bike paths and more) -Friends would describe me as empathetic, fun-loving, and responsible -A psychology degree - although I didn’t major in animal sciences, I believe I have the patience, empathy and warm demeanor to prepare me both as a human-therapist and pet care provider -In my time at PARL, I worked with animals of various sizes, ages, and health statuses; this includes an FIV+ cat, a three-legged dog, and blind/deaf cuties I work full-time as a patient recruiter for a medical research company. My role is remote with flexible hours, so I can easily work my schedule around yours I will happily hang out at your place or take your dog/cat out for walks and excursions.

“Annemarie did such an amazing job taking care of our cats! She was extremely communicative, always sent a very detailed update, and went out of her way to make sure that our cats were comfortable and cared for. I could not recommend her enough if you are looking for a sitter to put your mind at ease!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. They have always had a special place in heart. I’ve had all different types of animals and my sister is a vet so she has taught me some little things. I am currently working a part time job and I’m about to leave for college and need some extra hours. I don’t mind if it’s miles or just down the street. I personally don’t care if I have to go in someone’s house just want their stuff to be out so I don’t have to go through there stuff.
“I booked last minute randomly through the app. I felt at ease going away. Aly will be my first choice next time! So communicative, flexible, helpful, went above and beyond. We really appreciate you!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. Mainly molosser breeds. I’m a very active person so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I can assist with teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, lay, leave it, and recall commands. Things you can expect under my care: walks, runs, and training if needed and requested. If given permission, dog parks and occasional trips to the beach depending on the weather and time under my care. I work full time Monday through Friday 5am-3:30pm so I recommend booking for the weekend for long stays. Shorter stays can be made during weekends between 3:30pm-6:30pm (length of care Monday-Friday may be negotiated) Care will be primarily conducted out in town as I do not have a yard. If home pets will be crated with scheduled potty times.

“I connected last minute with a Gary after my scheduled petsitter cancelled the day before my vacation. It worked out great. Gary was engaged and provided pictures each day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pawtucket
She is so accommodating! Being able to arrange a little meet and greet beforehand was nice and gave me peace of mind. My Bagel can be a little nervous around strangers, but she knows exactly how to read him and is making friends with him quickly. It’s clear she understands how to make him feel comfortable, which makes leaving him in someone else’s care so much easier. I have absolutely no worries and feel confident he’s in great hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets!
Xavier was able to make some home visits while I was out of town. Onyx is a 50 lb Siberian Husky and Xavier didn't have any issues taking him out for a walk to relieve himself and also giving him fresh food/water. He made me feel comfortable leaving onyx I his care, I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Eliza is absolutely wonderful with my fur babies and gave me such peace of mind while I’m at work. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I really appreciated that she never rushed her visits and stayed for the full time I booked. She takes the time to make sure my dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
Jenny gracefully cared for our elderly dog and two young, recently rescued, formerly feral kittens with expert attention to their every need and quirky behaviors! What a relief to know she was at the pet care helm. Our older gentleman dog R2D2 requires multiple medications with meals and bedtime which Jenny was happy to administer. She sent so many sweet photos of his happy face and detailed notes rich with her observations and humorous tone - the best sitter we have ever had, paws down! Our scardey kittens hid from her almost the entire time we were away but Jenny still consistently cleaned their box and set out their meals despite their reluctance to appear. Jenny even pooper scooped our yard, took out the trash, brought in the mail, turned lights on and off, opened and shut curtains, and watered our garden! What incredible, so much appreciated, service. We will never worry about our boy’s needs again with Jenny. She is so sweet, selfless, and gentle. A true gem of a sitter. Thank you, thank you, Jenny!
Jessica was absolutely great. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time but Jessica made those nerves go away. It was hard to find a sitter a 2 months before our 5 day trip so finding Jessica was a blessing. She was great with our dogs & our dogs got along with her from day one. She was reliable, professional, punctual & most of all she truly took care of our boys as if they were hers. She sent daily videos & pictures. Always responded when we had questions. Always contacted us if she needed something. She even was available to check on the dogs during the day after our flight got canceled due to mechanical issues amd we couldn’t get another flight until Thursday night and we were panicking because our booking was supposed to end on Wednesday. She found a way to fit us in so she could stop by and check in on the dogs on Thursday morning and evening. We will definitely be using her again real soon. I highly recommend her.
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 💗🤩
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!!

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
