“Delaney is awesome! She really went above and beyond to take care of my cat even if it was just for the short 30 min check ins! She fully followed my instructions and did more than she had to. If I need a sitter again will definitely be rebooking with her”
“Olivia did a great job coming over and checking in on my golden retriever Mystic! Mystic clearly had a great time with her from all of the pictures I got and I really felt better knowing that Olivia was her checking in on her when I was away for a bit. I will definitely book again!”
“Mia was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very professional, sweet, patient and welcomed the long list of things to know about my dog! She was always in communication, always there when she said she would be, flexible, and did all of the things that made me feel comfortable with her taking care of my baby. I would absolutely highly, highly recommend Mia and will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you Mia and Rover!”
“Kristen is amazing! Our cat really loved her. She’s super patient and passionate, always making sure he’s comfy and happy. We can tell our cat is well taken cared of and of good spirits despite us being gone for a while because of her visits. Bonus: she takes the cutest 🐱 pics ever! Highly recommend!”
“It was the first time we called on Stuart to walk Clare, not just once, but twice in a day, and we’re glad we did. Stuart was conscientious from the start, offering to stop by the day before we needed him to meet us and Clare. We highly recommend him!”
“Michelle was diligent and a very caring cat-sitter. She was able to dispense appropriate medications to my cat, Zola, also. She would also text me pictures daily. I recommend her without reservations.”

About: I am a PhD student at URI looking to get my pet fix!! I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, but now having a cat has made me love them almost just as much!

You can be sure they will get the best possible treatment, walks, and hugs! As a former student-athlete I am super energetic and outgoing, so if a tired pupper is what you need, no problem!

“Maryann was great with our senior dog Vern. At the meet and greet, she had suggestions to make him more comfortable with their intros, which led him to be really relaxed and comfortable during our visit. She is extremely prepared and asked great questions, showing her care and quality of work. During the drop in, she was very communicative, and was great with our grumpy, independent guy. We absolutely will book again and highly recommend to others!”
“Jenna did drop in visits for our cat for 3 days while we were away. She sent a picture every visit and made sure to let me know how my cat was feeling. I felt safe with Jenna in my home and with my cat. Jenna is trustworthy and she was always very fast and clear with her communication.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life (29 years!) and have been a dog dad to my own Siberian Husky for the past 7 years. I also have previous experience working in a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently work fully remotely, so I’m home throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, and I make it a priority to take my own dog on two walks every day, so your pup can enjoy an active routine, too! Whether your dog loves playing, going for walks, or simply lounging around with some company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first! I work fully remotely, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m home throughout the workday and can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks. I typically start my mornings with a walk with my own dog, followed by another walk or two during the workday, ended with a trip to the dog park. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard for outdoor play and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime between meetings, afternoon walks, or relaxing company while I work, your dog will have plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long stretches of time! When caring for pets in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as they do in their own home! I provide a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and opportunities to relax. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for outdoor time, and my friendly adult Siberian Husky provides a potential playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing with other pups. I always prioritize each dog’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, favorite activities, potty breaks, and any special instructions from owners. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow their established routines, keep them comfortable, provide plenty of attention, and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for, wherever they’re staying!

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.

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.
Shawn was great, making drop in visits for our two cats over several days. We came home to everything spotlessly clean, feeding dishes washed and litter boxes scooped. She communicated well and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet. I highly recommend Shawn!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pawtucket is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 3,933 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
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.
