“Paige is a wonderful sitter! She was warm and welcoming to our two dogs, and sent updates (including an adorable video of her child playing with our dogs!). Her house is spacious for the dogs to stretch out, and the fenced yard was ideal. I especially appreciate her flexibility when our flight (and therefore our return home) was delayed by a few hours. Highly recommend!”
“Our Remy loves her stays with Malerie! She is always treated warmly when we arrive and I have prace of mind while Remy is there. I have booked with her multiple times!!! 10 out of 10 experience”
“Thank you so much, Erica, for taking such great care of my Max. He really loves being with your family, and I’m so grateful for the love and care you always give him."”
“Yunshu and her family took excellent care of my Mini Schnauzer, Harry. I received photos and videos often while I was away. Her two little girls loved playing and walking Harry So he was kept busy all the time so he didn't have time to miss me. HaHa. Their house is very clean and well kept and I knew he was in great hands when I first visited. I will definitely have Yunshu watch Harry again when I take a trip.”
“Jessica was amazing with our dog Coco! He went on lots of walks and she sent several pictures and updates. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving safe place for their pet while they are away.”
“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!”
“My dog libbie was spoiled at Leanne's house! Leanne took very good care of her and sent me pictures and updates. Leanne even gave me some helpful training tips to help teach libbie to stop pulling on walks!! I am working on it. I would definitely recommend Leanne for pet sitting and will definitely ask her again.”
“Jen and her family were so wonderful and sweet! She sent so many updates and pictures, and I felt like she loved my pup as if he were hers. It’s so comforting finding someone you can trust with your fur baby. She will definitely be our regular dog sitter going forward! Thank you, Jen! Oscar misses you already. :)”
“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!”
“Kyleigh watched our Cleo for a week and a half. I’ve never felt so reassured about leaving my little girl. Kyleigh sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. Cleo got so attached to Kyleigh that she refused to go on walks with anyone else while staying with her. She does the same thing at home with me, if mama doesn’t go she doesn’t go haha Kyleigh took such great care of our little girl and it feels great knowing that I know exactly who to book to look after Cleo in the future!”
About: Mother of two kiddos and one doggy. I just took a break from watching dogs while we welcomed a new pup to our family. He’s a 1 year old Portuguese Water dog and he’s very friendly and loves to play. I’ve had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. Please reach out with any questions about me. Thank you! Im currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most time frames and schedules. My days are usually spent at home with my youngest and our pup so another dog or two fit into our schedule perfectly. We have a semi fenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to a beach. We also have a fully fenced back deck where the dogs can be inside or outside at their leisure. We love to play and we have plenty of time for walks or playing fetch and cuddles.
“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.”
“Ashley is Absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. They were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend!”
“K usually takes our pup on walks weekly, but we decided to have her watch our pup overnight for a few days while we were on vacation. K took great care of our pup and sent us tons of updates. Our pup had so much fun with her and her son!”
“Cherylee took such great care of my young cat. She had awesome toys for him, kept him entertained and sent me photos and videos. I felt really good about leaving him in her care. I was nervous and worried about leaving him for the first time but all went purrfectly! I will definitely use Cherylee and Steven again!”
“Karen was amazing. Our two dogs had a great time at her house and Karen made them feel at home and put our minds at ease with many updates and pictures! Definitely recommend Karen 10/10!!”
“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.”
“Rhody always has a great time with Jessica and Abu. It's difficult leaving him as he gets older and Jessica is the only one we trust. She loves him like her own and takes such good care of him. Thanks to her we are able to travel knowing he's in the best hands. Always a 5 star experience!”

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.

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.
