“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!”
About: I come from a family of pet lovers (dog lovers to be specific, but I don't discriminate). Dogs have been members of my family since I was a wee lass. As of now, I take care of my tiny 4-pound chihuahua who loves to sit in the sunny spots outside or bark at intruders from the safety of the couch. I like to volunteer at the local Hotel for Homeless Dogs but at the end of the day a girl's gotta eat, so here I am! I am willing to care for your pet at any time, any day of the week. I have complete availability to hang out with your pet and tend to their needs.🐾 My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in suburban Lincoln. The house is pet-friendly, complete with a large fenced backyard with lots of space to run in the grass! I live right on the Blackstone River Bikeway which provides easy access to scenic walks along the canal if you allow me to care for your pet at my address. If you provide me the opportunity to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home, I will request a complete rundown of all their needs including the spaces they are allowed to roam and places that are off limits. I'll also provide constant text and photo updates to ease your mind while you're away.
About: I've been taking care of animals since my very first dog at 7. I have a lot of experience with all breeds from teacup Yorkies, to the most muscular tank of a pit bull. I used to work / still occasionally help out at the dog house in providence where we board,daycare and train. Im very good with feeding, walks, hikes, play time, snuggles. From puppies to elderly pups. My husband and I recently lost our dog at Christmas. She was a month shy of celebrating her 16th birthday . No task is too much to handle with these love bugs. I treat each dog with their personality. Not every dog' like ourselves, are the same. I do my best to really understand each individuals needs and pair dogs that will work well together. All should be very comfortable with their stay. I do require a temperament/evaluation before their stay here to make sure all dogs and humans feel happy and 100% comfortable. My schedule is very open. This is my full time job. I do however, if interested in boarding and daycare, have walks a few times a week which will require me to leave for no more than a hr . If your dog is ok being alone for a short amount of time without anxiety then please don't hesitate to reach out! I have a fenced in yard and live near many dog parks. I do have cats but they usually stay clear . I provide a place where both you and your pet feel most comfortable but I'm open and willing for a play date at my house
“Tatiana was great with our German shepherd and my family’s border collie. She sent pictures every day during our 9 day vacation. Not only that, but she took our dogs last minute when another sitter fell through. She arrived in less than 12 hours for a meet & greet. She also stayed an extra few hours when our flight got delayed the last day. Thanks again! We will be recommending her to everyone!”
“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!”
“Nadia was very attentive, careful and extremely sweet to my cat Maddie. She followed all my instructions and reported back with photos and notes during each visit. I will definitely request her again and highly recommend her to other pet owners. ☺️”
About: I've cared for cats since I was 10 years old and owned them as parts of the family for 20 years. I am excited to help others in my local area with boarding their cats in a quiet home. My daughter loves cats too and will be happy. to see your animals. I am looking to board the cats in the evenings with a designated pick up time that fits the schedule of both the pet owners and myself. I work school hours as an educator and will be doing some part time notary work in my community as well. I care for pets by giving them plenty of attention, space, play, and care while they are with me. On the weekends or weekdays, I can also go into a client's home depending on their request.
About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting. I walk a lot everyday so adding a dog would make it even better! I am very experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!
“Nicole is an amazing cat sitter!! She took great care of my cat, was able to feed her medications everyday, and did a great job of keeping the litter box (and my apartment) super clean! It was so fun to see pictures of my cat everyday from Nicole. :) I would absolutely book through Nicole again!”
About: I previously worked for Wag! Dog Walking and Sitting, and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have performed many dog walks and cared for dogs in my home as well as in the owners' home. I love giving them lots of love and attention. I have taken care of a variety of animals, from small dog breeds, large dog breeds, lizards, bunnies, and cats. I am organized, prompt, and professional. I have my own transportation, and am very reliable. I grew up with two Scottish Terriers and a Bearded Dragon, and have loved animals all of my life. I’m currently a part time substitute teacher, so I am available on weekends and some days during the week. I am also available most evenings! I have my own transportation, and I am prompt and reliable. Keeping your pet safe and happy is my number one goal! I look forward to helping care for your pets.
About: I’ve spent decades working hands-on with animals. I grew up immersed in animal care. My grandparents were dog breeders, and I began working on a farm at age seven, including daily care and riding horses. I also worked in my mother’s dog grooming salon as a brusher/bather and grooming assistant, gaining strong experience in safe handling, restraint and behavior assessment. I served as an Animal Control Officer and Animal Inspector for three years and am currently the volunteer director of a 501(c)(3) animal rescue. My experience includes cruelty, neglect, hoarding, and seizure cases, emergency stabilization, and rehabilitation of animals arriving in poor physical or behavioral condition. Dogs are a major focus of my work. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and behavioral backgrounds, including fearful, reactive, senior, and special-needs dogs. I also have experience with basic training and structured handling. Through my rescue, I have coordinated and personally transported large groups of animals, often 30 to 40 dogs and cats at a time, over distances exceeding 1,500 miles to bring them safely to New England for adoption. I am a 2018 graduate of the Animal Control Officers Association of MA and hold certifications in pet psychology, training, and animal communication. I am also a wildlife rehabilitator specializing in baby opossums and volunteer regularly at a local animal shelter. I have five dogs, a cat, a horse and frequently foster dogs. I am experienced administering oral and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and I am Feline and Canine CPR certified. Animal care isn’t just my profession, it’s my everyday life, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. My schedule is intentionally built around pet care, which allows me to provide consistent attention, follow routines closely, and respond quickly if anything changes. Pets in my care are always my top priority. I provide calm, structured in-home care focused on safety, routine, and trust. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistent schedules, and prioritize secure environments. I respect each pet’s comfort level, never force interaction, and monitor behavior closely to ensure their well-being. Pets are treated and cared for as individuals.
About: Hi! I'm Allison, but your dog can call me Auntie Al. I've been caring for friends' dogs for over 10 years (including a diabetic pup I gave insulin injections to). I love dogs of any age, breed, or size..and I'll love yours too! I am a teacher and have open availability all summer. I'm located near a bike path, large park, and a dog park that I'd love to explore with your pup. If you prefer walks closer to your house, I'm happy to do that too! If you have a cat, I can give them time and attention, or just drop by to meet their basic needs if they prefer their alone time! I teach kindergarten which is often compared to herding cats or puppies! I will be patient with your furry family member and attentive to their needs🥰
“Julia is amazing! I needed someone to watch my babies last minute on a holiday weekend. When everyone was booked up. But Julia then I found Julia. She came over to meet them before we left. So she could see what the routine was. She came over on time everyday, sent pictures, and make sure they were well taken care off. If you need someone reliable to watch your pups, hire her!! All the stars and thank you again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. First, a yellow lab named Lucy & then another named Evie. Now, my family has taken on a Bernese Mountain Dog named Josie who is just the goofiest ever. In all the years of having a dog, I’ve been able to help out on walks, taking them to appointments and just lovin’ on them. With Josie, I have helped crate train her and teach her tricks in her puppy years and now being 3, I take her on daily walks (sometimes she walks me, she’s so strong!), car rides, to appointments, etc. My sister describes our relationship as “besties.” No matter the pup, I love being their friend! I have been able to watch different pups, young and old, small and big & love every second with any of them. I’m currently working part time and have availability to love on and care for any pups or cats! I am always happy to shift things around to get to walk, watch, play or stay with any of your pets. I currently cannot house pets in my home since I just moved here and there are currently no pets allowed :( but I am more than happy to travel to your home to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. I know how important routine is to pets (especially dogs) and like to know that they feel safe in their environment and schedule. Especially for pets I’ve just met, I ease into their space and let them warm up to me so they feel safe. When it comes to walking pups, I let them go at their own pace and always make sure they’re leashed with treats on hand. I am always down for a pet snuggle too if they let me!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My parents have had dogs all of their life and growing up I was taught how to take care of them on my own. I will make sure your pup feels safe, and loved while you are away. I work fully remote Monday- Friday and work a side job on Monday night and Wednesday night. I can work from your house and take care of the pets as long as there is WiFi! I currently live in an apartment with my partner with our dog and cat. I usually will walk our dog around the block. He is a little shy with other dogs so I would just come over to your house and walk your dog then!

This was my second time booking Jennifer, for my dog and cat. They have grown to know her in the past two visits. Jennifer brings the energy and love to my animals when I’m away, and I feel comfortable knowing that she’s there with them . Thank you Jennifer. I’ll be booking you as you’re giving care to animals. See you next time.
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.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pawtucket is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $38 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 3,813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pawtucket. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
- 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.
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.
