“Blair is the best of the best! She truly goes above and beyond—tuning into our cats’ personalities with such care that it feels like she’s part of the family. We appreciate being able to fully unplug and recharge while we are away knowing our cats are in good hands.”
“Elise was very patient with my cat, which was needed as my cat does not care for strangers and is extremely slow to tolerate their presence. My cat is extremely vocal about her boundaries, and seems to have done nothing but hiss and begrudgingly show herself when Elise fed her her wet food. I greatly appreciated that Elise would still hang out after feeding and scooping the litter box, to give my cat an opportunity to discover that Elise could be a friend. I also loved that Elise told my cat good-bye every day when she left: I do this too, and it’s particularly kind when the cat has done nothing but hiss at you.”
“Maria was great with my kitties. She was able to give them their oral meds with no problem. Great communication and attentive to the cat needs. It was nice to come back to a clean house and calm cats. Highly recommend.”
About: I am a Registered Vet Tech who has been doing pet sitting for over 15 years. I’m comfortable medicating pets, in addition to walking and doing general care for dogs and cats. About this sitter: I am an experienced RVT who has worked in this field for over 15 years. I have 6 pets of my own and regularly foster so pet care is always my priority. My experience administering medication I have experience working in two different kennels and am very comfortable administering medications. I would prefer to not have diabetic dogs unless they have been stable for over a year.
About: I have been a part of the professional pet care world for over a decade as a dog groomer. As I started that profession I also began pet sitting. I would dog sit for families that had up to 6 dogs. I am experienced with dogs in all stages of life and have experience administering medications to dogs, such an insulin shots. I have recently dropped to working part time as I move on to a new business venture and have ample time to spend with your fur baby. I am not able to care for pets in my own home due to my own pets, but I am happy to travel to your home and care for your pet in their own environment. That is that only way in which I have pet sat in the past.
“Ashleigh is great! She took such good care of our fur babies. Even our girl cat, who is extremely shy and scared of people, came out and interacted with Ashleigh. We couldn't be happier and we are completely conformable leaving our cats in her very capable hands.”
About: As an avid pet lover, friends and family turn to me to help watch their furry family members when they’re away from home. I’ve been a trusted dog sitter and walker for years and hope I can help you with your pet needs! I’m a stay-at-home-parent with local family support so I can dedicate time to your pets whenever needed! Mornings, evenings, and weekends are best, but with enough notice I can cater to your pet’s needs throughout the day. While pet care in my home is not currently available due to a reactive dog of my own, I am perfectly happy to provide most services to your pet in your home. I’m intimately familiar with all collar and leash types, crates and play pens, “puppy pads,” medications, bathing, and more. With the right tools and proper communication, rest assured that I will meet every expectation as your pet sitter!
About: I have had cats and dogs in my house since before I could walk and have been actively caring for them for nearly as long. I have two cats of my own now, 5 and 4, (my dog, almost 20, recently passed) that are my pride and joy. Caring for animals has been a staple of my life; I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them the best care too! I have a bit of a variable schedule between part time work as a barista, but for sitting stays I would never be away for more than 8 hours in any given day. I take college classes online but that can be done anywhere that I can access the internet, meaning I can be with your fur baby for more quality time! I have two cats of my own that I feed a mixed diet of wet and dry food twice a day, so I know attention to detail is a priority when caring for your fur baby! With that said, I can have my roommate feed my boys while I’m on overnight jobs, meaning I have more time to provide top quality care for your fur baby.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have 13 years of hands-on experience. I raised my first dog from birth and cared for him through all 10 years of his life. I now have a 6-month-old puppy and two cats of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with all ages and breeds, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I travel for work, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility! I’m able to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s drop-ins or walks! I’m typically available weekdays and weekends as needed! I I care for my own 6-month-old puppy, so I know how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and feeling loved- I treat every pet like they’re my own and pay close attention to their needs, routines, and comfort.
“Second time booking with Lori! I have had a little bit of bad luck with pet sitters before finding Lori on Rover. She showed up for a meet and greet and I got the immediate impression that she was dedicated, honest and trustworthy so I decided to give her a try. I'm glad that I did! I now (finally) have a go to pet sitter who I trust completely with my fur babies. Lori will continue to get my business.”
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
“Jun helped look after my three cats over the Thanksgiving holiday and everything went smoothly. I appreciated the reliable daily drop-ins and the photo updates while I was away. It was reassuring to know everyone was being checked on. My cats can be a handful, so I’m glad they were able to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone was fed and doing okay. Thanks again for being available over a busy holiday!”
About: I specialize with big dogs and elderly dogs. I'm a taller guy with a longer walking stride so larger dogs can get more for workout. My schedule is daily throughout the whole day. I normally like to plan 24 hours in advance but if my schedule is open I don't mind same day or last minute. Tuesday -Thursday from 11am-3pm I am not available I currently have no pets right now at my home I do have a rather large backyard. At the parents home, I do make sure that the pets are well fed and hydrated before leaving unless otherwise told. Disclaimer: If there issues at the home during my time at your residence and not disclosed before booking such as but not limited to: proper running water, working AC/HEAT, controlled pest infestation, power outage, violent pet(s), unsanitary conditions, health concerns without proper insurance you will liable for the vet bill and transportation cost or all day 24 hour care with a pet(s) that can not be alone for 3-4 hours than will incur with an extra inconvenience charge of $100 or more and/or cancellation with the help of Rovers support team.
About: Hello! My name is Julia, and I’ve always loved taking care of dogs. Since I was 8, I helped train our dog Jack and took care of him for 14 years. I’ve walked and cared for friends and family dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Let me know how I can help you! :) I’m studying/applying to law school, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! Super open to taking them on long walks, hikes, and enriching their lives. Our dog Jack was walked 3 times a day and stayed on our beds/furniture as he wanted. Since he passed, we don’t have any other pets in the house, so no worries if your pets are particular about other dogs. We don’t have a fence, but live in a very walkable neighborhood!
“We were so lucky to meet Imani! She is absolutely the best. Our cat loved her from the first minute he met her. She is most responsible, knowledgeable, professional, kind, and sweet person. I was very nervous about how our cat would handle his first time away from us and she put my mind at ease and made us very comfortable. We are most grateful.”
About: Hi! My name is Esther and I am a current grad student with multiple years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes in the comfort of their home. I specialize in drop-in visits and overnight stays for pets, whether it’s one on one or if you have multiple fur babies! I have experience with both XL and smaller breeds and multi-pet homes. I currently don’t have any pets of my own (working on it!) but I love volunteering at BARCS in my free time. I do have a full time job that will be transitioning to hybrid soon, but for now I am available for all your early morning/late night and weekend needs! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m currently working full time, with early morning and evening availability. I will be transitioning to hybrid soon that would give me more flexibility with my schedule. I am also available for weekend and overnight services. I understand how big of a deal it is to entrust your pets to others, and I prefer to care for your pets in the comfort of their home following all of your requests and preferences!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Tabatha was excellent with my 3 cats while I was away on vacation. My cats seem very happy and everything was well cared for when we returned. She did meds for my 2 sphynx cats and was very responsive and kept me up to date! Will definitely book with her again!
Laura is our go-to cat sitter whenever we travel, and we trust her completely. During our longest trip yet, she saved the day when the upstairs AC broke by quickly moving his food, water, and litter to a cooler floor. She showered our cat with love and attention, and we couldn't recommend her more!
Michelle was absolutely amazing for my cat while we were out of town on vacation! She is attentive, kind, and clearly cares a lot about animals. The peace of mind I get just from knowing my boy was well taken care of while I can’t be with him is priceless to me. 10/10 would recommend!
I was glad to have Dalton look after a cat............LOL. But I felt stress-free and had a peaceful time. My camera would alert me when someone entered my unit, and I had no reason to check and have pictures sent. Dyson is a strange cat when I'm ready to leave town. Dalton is a GREAT backup. Thanks Dalton

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Providence is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
