“I had a last minute emergency and Erica came through for us. Very kind and loving family. It is obvious how much affection they have for animals. Daisy did great and I never worried about her for a moment. It was a good experience for us.”
“Hannah was sooo good to Seamus. He had a great 3 day stay, and her communication with me, while on our vacation, was terrific. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone.”
“Exceptional care free service with Malerie. Would definitely rebook in the future... Great Job Malerie. Thank you for coming through for me for this very important trip. Robert”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. This was our second time using Carolina. She communicated with me throughout the stay and sends pictures that ensures me that Kobe was in good hands. I look forward to booking Carolina for future stays.”
“Devorat is an absolute dream. She is truly the pet-parent that you want if you have to be away from your own pet. My dog Mookie stayed with Devorat for 5 days and nights on very short notice. She messaged frequently in the first 24 hours to keep us updated on how Mookie was settling in, and sent plenty of photos during the entire stay. We could tell from the photos that he was clearly comfortable in his home-away-from-home. He and Toby were great playmates in the fenced-in backyard, and he Devorat were fast friends, with plenty of couch cuddle-time. Knowing Mookie was well cared for really helped us enjoy our family trip. In addition to her care and attention to Mookie, Devorat also offered accommodation and flexibility in the drop-off and pick-up scheduling to make things as easy as possible for us as we nailed down our travel plans at the last minute. I really appreciated her communication throughout the visit, and I could tell from her updates that she was really taking time to get to know our dog, and that he was in the best possible hands. We already plan to book with Devorat again soon!”
“First time leaving Gus for a long time. Courtney kept me at ease with her great communication and sharing photos! Her dog Lucy and Gus hit it off right away. I’ve already rebooked for another upcoming trip! Recommend 100/10”
“Moose LOVES when we go away and its only bc he gets to go see his second family at zachs . Hes loved and spoiled the same way we would at home. Zach is definitely a great choice for pet sitting.”
“I can’t speak highly enough of the care Amy and Jon provided to my pup. I have a 4 month old pup that I was extremely apprehensive to leave for a week. Amy and Job took care of my little guy like he was part of their family. They were open with communication right from our meet and greet. Amy sent daily photo updates and I could see how happy my pup was in their home. Could not recommend them enough!”
“Jennifer and family were super flexible and communicative. Our dog was very excited to be in there home! I appreciated to photos and updates a lot. I would definitely bring Wilbur back!”
“Eve was great! She and her family clearly care about the pets they sit. I received photos and updates daily about how Coco was doing and it was obvious she felt welcome and at home. Eve was flexible and accommodating about pick-up and drop-off times and made the entire process a breeze. Will definitely trust her with Coco again. Thanks Eve!”
“Anne took great care of our dog, Ralph, while we were away. We got daily photo and text updates that gave us total peace of mind. Ralph came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Simone is wonderful. She treats our schnauzer as part of her family. We have depended on her to care for our pup several times and will call on her repeatedly in the future.”
“Cece’s second stay with Kendra was nothing short of perfect. Every photo and update was just her living her best life. Kendra is so attentive and caring. It’s really nice to go away for a night and not have to worry whatsoever about my girl. I know she’s in the best hands possible!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Portsmouth
Isabel and her family took care of our cat, Max, for about 2 weeks while we were traveling. He was so calm when we picked him up, I think he didn't want to leave! She kept us updated every few days with pictures letting us know how Max was doing. Next time we're in need of a cat sitter in Rhode Island, we're contacting Isabel!

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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
