“Mary was very welcoming and made me feel at ease, knowing Lucy would be well cared for. She sent pictures everyday which was above and beyond! Thanks so much for your caring service!”
“Ginger loves when she’s able to stay with her friends! As soon as we turn onto their street, she gets super excited and runs right up to the door. I always know she’s having a great time and is safe when she stays at their house. Couldn’t ask for a better place for her to be!”
“Sara was very thoughtful and communicated during our Doberman’s stay and sent amazing photos. She made both drop off and pick up seamless as well. Looking forward to booking again with Sara in the future!”
“We had a great experience! Lauren took wonderful care of our dog for two nights, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you!”
“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Tilmer and his family! He had fantastic communication, and photos everyday with an update! I felt like my pup truly fit into their family and was so well loved over her week stay! Next time I go out of town I won’t have to even think about where my fur baby will stay, Tilmer!!”
“Jacklyn was wonderful to work with caring for our pup. She was a wonderful communicator sharing many updates and videos and we really appreciate her care for Ginger”
“Molly had a great stay with Emily and her family. Great communication. Drop off and pick up was just what I had ask for. Emily sent me follow ups regarding Molly and a couple of pictures. Will use Emily again. Kim Sneed”
“I have no words with how thrilled we are!! Our pack of 3 fur babies had a blast with Kieth at his house. They had free run every day and Kieth made sure they kept up with their commands. Before dropping off, Keith was sure to ask for an emergency contact and vet information just in case. My husband and I got pictures while we were gone. We got updates on how our pack was doing and getting along with the other dogs at his place.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, routines, medications, and lots of attention. I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure you get plenty of updates while they’re with me. I work a hybrid schedule and am home Thursdays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime care, walks, and check-ins. I’m also available most evenings Monday through Wednesday and have greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. I have a friendly dog of my own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I keep a calm, clean home and make sure pets have plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and downtime. I’m careful with introductions and will follow your feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off for a side job for 2 years. I’m very actice and love taking my own dogs on walks. I love dogs and cats, i’m very well organized and I will make sure your animal is loved, well taken care of and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets! I’m happy to discuss scheduling, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Since I have two dogs of my own who are not comfortable around other dogs, I provide pet-sitting services in your home rather than mine. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and responsible care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring hands!
“My labradoodle, Dory, stayed with Heather for one week. I think Dory enjoyed her stay. She had another dog to play with there. Dory chilled out on Heather’s couch in the evenings. Dory got along with Heather’s daughters. All in all, Dory had a week of fun.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life — my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I will be available three days a week. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“Aaron provided amazing service exceeding all my expectations! His communication was excellent sending updates everyday even multiple times a day. He offered FaceTime calls with my furry friend and treated him just like family! I will definitely rebook and I advise anyone else to do the same!”
“They provided us with daily updates and Lola was having so much fun that we were jealous about not missing us...We will definitely use their services again!! A great lady should be celebrated, Kristen, I felt like she treated our dog like one of her own!! So grateful for her and her family! Thank you”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Melissa, was great with Pyper. This is the first time we have left our pup with someone from Rover. The first time we ever boarded Pyper was 4 years ago at a doggie daycare, that was so traumatic that we decided never to do that again. We are glad we found Melissa on Rover, we would definitely request her services again. She sent photos and updates. Our pup was clearly loved on and attended to while we were away for 6 days. This experience was far less stressful for our pup and we felt a lot better leaving her with a family than boarding her. Melissa was reassuring and understood our concerns/worries about leaving Pyper. This was a positive experience and we do hope to be able to utilize Melissa's services again in the near future. Cris and Ann

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Providence can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Providence home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Providence.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Providence. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Providence sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 IN 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
