“Gunther loved hanging out at Courtney’s house with his new friend Lucy! They are great hosts. He came back exhausted and happy- we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and friendly home-away-from-home for their canine companion.”

Takes alot of care and attention, he is very trust worthy and communicative about her stay, sends us photos and updates about her throughout the day.

About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
About: I have several years of experience in dog sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I have a yellow lab of my own, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and pets. I have had several pet service jobs in and around the towns I’ve lived in, and I’d be more than happy to provide references. I am both a responsible pet owner and a respectable pet lover. I have experience caring for dogs that require medication and attention, and I understand how important it is for you to feel comfortable about the person you are trusting with your pet. I have watched and taken care of dogs from the size of a Chihuahua to a very large Great Dane and Mastiff. I am very confident in my skills, and I hope to be given the opportunity to show you them as well. I am a full-time student, but my schedule is fairly open. I enjoy spending my time outside because my part-time job is inside, so I'd love to get out and walk dogs as often as possible! Additionally, my apartment does not allow for animals, so I’d love to be able to spend more time with furry friends! As a pet owner myself, the comfortability of your pet will be my highest priority. Though I am unable to care for your animals in my home, I will always be respectful of your space and ensure your animal’s safety and security at all times while in my care.
“Sonia is absolutely fantastic! My dog Isla had an amazing time and was so happy and tired when we picked her up. We'll definitely keep rebooking going forward! Having just adopted my dog ~6 months ago, this is the first time we've left her with anyone other than family and I have to say I was SO comfortable and happy knowing that she was in great care. Sonia sent pictures almost immediately to let us know Isla was settling in and more to follow up during the day. Highly, highly recommend Sonia-- wonderful experience knowing that my dog was in the best possible hands!”
“Anely is amazing! I needed a last-minute dog sitter for my elderly and cranky Chihuahua, and I feel so fortunate that she was willing to help me out. In addition to doing drop-off/pick-up from my place in downtown, she also sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog is afraid of strangers, so she’s not an easy one to handle, but I knew she was in great hands. 10/10, would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“Amanda is the best. My dog piper loves it over there! Her two dogs tire my pup out. She stayed a few nights there while I was away and it was a relief to not have to worry about a thing.”
About: Hi! I’m Georga, a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience. I’m also a full time graduate student who mostly works from home, so I have lots of time and attention to give to your pets. I have a Boston terrier named Harley, a goofy and friendly 4 year old who loves making new friends (human and furry alike!) so I know important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and loved while you’re away and that’s exactly is exactly the kind of care I provide. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan walks, drop in visits, and playtime throughout the day, and I enjoy breaking up my work with some pet cuddles. I will follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible and send lots of update pics along the way! Overall, I will spend quality time giving attention, play, and enrichment so your pet can feel comfortable and cared for.
“Lisa was so good with our dog, very attentive, and very clearly a pet lover! We also received many cute pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Our dog had a great time with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life but since moving to boston I haven't found a forever buddy so in the meanwhile I would love to take care of yours. I work full time at home but have a very flexible schedule. I am usually up by 6 am and go to bed as late as 10 pm. I usually take the doggies on a walk around 7-8 am then again around 12-2pm and then again in the evening 6-8pm. I will follow the the guidelines you provide for me of how to best take care of your furry one. I am organized and active.
“Thanks taking such good care of Callie! She had a blast, she’s sleeping and will probably sleep until tomorrow morning. Thanks for everything and we’ll connect soon”
“Zachary was great and took Oakley in last-minute after my other sitter cancelled. He was very understanding of Oakley's needs and they seemed to have a great time!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog person currently in Pawtucket, RI offering a cozy home, lots of walks, and a fully fenced yard. I grew up with dogs (poodle, terrier, and mostly pugs) and also shared a Brussels Griffon for several years, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I currently get most of my dog time by sitting for family and friends. I give preference to longer stays because it allows me to build a real bond with your dog and give them a more consistent routine. With more time together, they settle in and get more comfortable. If you’re planning a trip of several days or more, I’m an especially good fit. I work from home with a flexible schedule so can spend a good amount of time with your dog for walks and following their schedules. I have a fenced in yard to use in addition to walks. I don't have any rules about not being able to get on furniture (but if you do, will follow them of course).

I cannot recommend Sydney enough! She took exceptional care of my two pups, ensuring they got plenty of exercise with lots of walks. My dogs were completely tuckered out and fell asleep the second they got home. We needed a dog sitter last minute and Sydney was able to respond quickly. A true lifesaver!
Accepted the request quick on short notice! Very welcoming to both Tuukka & I from the start and plenty of pictures and updates on his routine while there. Tuukka came home, ate dinner, and is out cold now! Would definitely recommend and will be using again! Thank you so much!
Pillie has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Mati. She sends us so many photo and video updates so that we know our dog is in good hands. Mati snapped the retractable leash we had for her and Pillie generously gave us a spare of her own. She is always caring and understanding that Mati is a bit of a nervous wreck at drop-off.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Pawtucket commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 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.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
