“Paige is friendly, professional and her lovely home is set up perfectly for pet sitting. She sent me daily updates including pictures of her kids loving up my precious pup. And while he didn't leave the house for walks, she has an adequate fenced in yard and he was able to come in and out of the house freely. I felt completely at ease knowing that he was well taken care of since she has 4 children who were all respectful and great kids!”
“Erica, again, took wonderful care of Sully. He comes home happy, tired from romping with his friends and no whining. He ate well, also. We will continue to use Erica’s sitting service whenever she is available. Thank you!”
“We love Malerie! From the very first time I booked with her, she made everything so easy and comforting. We had a little meet-up where she got to meet Milan and we met her dog ,such a great way to start! She’s always quick to respond, super sweet, and I love knowing my boy is never alone. We always get our usual pictures and videos, which make us feel at ease while we’re away. Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“This is our second time with Jessica and it was just as good as the first! She took excellent care of my chachi and made me aware of a potential issue when his water intake was a little low which I greatly appreciated. She is my go to when I need coverage.”
“Birdie had the best time with Chey and her pups! I would highly recommend her for sitting- she communicated, sent great photos, and was so helpful when my flight home got delayed!”
“Yunshu did an amazing job dog sitting Theo! She kept me updated multiple times a day with pictures and detailed messages, which really put my mind at ease. Her whole family was incredibly welcoming and treated Theo like one of their own. She was also very flexible and understanding throughout the whole process. Plus, her neighborhood felt very safe, which was a big plus. I highly recommend Yunshu—Theo had a wonderful time! Thank you guys so much!!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our dog. Very accommodating with drop and pick up logistics and sent us regular photo updates of our dogs stay. Would absolutely book again with Jennifer!”
“Hailey was great! She watched our 2 yr old Charlie girl while we were in Newport for a night. Charlie loved her dog Henri which helped her settle in. Hailey sent lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely book her again!”
“THE BEST...... Kyleigh is by far the most attentive pet friend that our dog "Ollie" has ever had the pleasure of being with. We received photos and videos everyday while we were away. So spoiled he was with treats, playtime, and snuggles, that I wasn't sure he would want to come home 😊. If you want the best in care for your family pet, we found it with Kyleigh. Thank you so much!”
“I could immediately tell that my dog settled in for her stay easily. I loved the updates, and working with them was super easy. I hope to use their services again in the future.”
“Caley had a rough start to the week. She's getting older, and requires more attention. Celina kept us in the loop, but we thought we might have to come home. We and Celina came up with a plan that allowed us to stay on vacation, and Celina handled Caley like a pro! We appreciate that so much! Sorry for the sleepless nights.”
“Cherylee and Steven are really amazing! They took great care of my pet, Benben. Every day, they sent me pictures of Benben, so I knew he was happy and safe. Benben felt very comfortable with them, like he was at home. I am very thankful for their help. I will book with them again next time for sure!”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing watching Mika. Ashley not only treated her like her own dog but was very accommodating when I had to drop Mika off sooner than planned. Ashley is such a caring and honest person. If you want to leave your fur baby with someone, make sure to book with Ashley. Thank you so much Ashley for taking great care of Mika❤️”
“Henry loved his stay with Keisha! She was all and more than I could of expected I am absolutely pleased with Keasha and highly recommend her We will surely call on her again ??”
“Wow! Our Abby had an amazing time with Jessica and Abu! It was like a really fun dog vacation! Jessica not only took care of Abby but she also had so much fun with her! I would recommend Jessica to anyone who wants their dog to enjoy their time away from the family :-)”
“Although this review comes late I cannot say enough about the care my dog Bodhi received from Sharon. He's a small dog with a big attitude and obviously anxious about a lot of new people and big dogs. Sharon took the time to be one-on-one with him and they went for walks and she was so good to him. I can't say enough about the care my dog received. Ali”
“Mary and her family took great care of my dog Rory and provided pictures throughout the weekend. Rory was exhausted from playing with the kids, and she slept the whole next day after I picked her up. I will definitely ask Mary to watch Rory again.”
“So thankful for Ashley and John!! They took amazing care of our puppy while away and we’re so flexible when our flights were cancelled and we had to add extra time. Thank you!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Portsmouth
Addison is my go to for my senior French bulldog with separation anxiety. She goes above and beyond to ensure my boy is comfortable, loved and well cared for. My flight got canceled and could not be rebooked for two days and Addison was very understanding, flexible and professional through this unexpected situation. I am so grateful to have found such a reliable sitter that truly loves and cares for my pet and understands his specific needs related to his age and breed. My dog always comes home super happy after spending time with Addison!

There are 849 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Portsmouth. About 90% of Portsmouth sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
