“Shelby was so nice and helpful, she send me pictures about Pisco and treat him very well, and follow all my instructions to take care of him ✨ I’ll definitely call her again in the future if I need more help with my pup ! Thank you so much Shelby!”

“Our dog can be very nervous around new people, but Maria was so willing to put in the time to let him get used to her. He warmed up fast to Maria and was always so happy to see her. We feel very lucky to have found a new friend for our dog and such a reliable dog walker!”

“Sam B is a delight to work with. She was totally at ease with my pups and they took to her immediately. She communicated with me every step of the way and sent me a few pictures to boot. I can comfortably recommend Sam for all your pet care needs. Phil K”
“First time ever hiring a dog walker to check in on my pet while I was away, now I feel silly for always boarding my dog. Elise was incredibly professional, caring, responsive, and punctual. Got back to me same day to schedule a pre-meet to make sure I was comfortable before reserving the booking, took good notes to learn about my and my pet's needs, then did exactly what she promised to do. Even immediately checked in with me on the correct course of action when something happened I hadn't anticipated. I can absolutely see why she as such a high rating and star status! Will definitely try to book with her for any future pet care needs!”


“Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine love behind it. I grew up helping my mom care for our cats and cats in need and got my first dog in second grade, which taught me responsibility early on. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I treat every animal with the same care and compassion I grew up with. As of right now I’m taking a gap year and working part-time in order to figure out what I want to do. Which means I have plenty of time during the day to play with and keep your pet happy! I’ll care for your pets in your home by following the routine given, keeping yours and their space clean, giving them plenty of walks, love, playtime, and attention, and sending regular updates so you always know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.
About: Taking care of animals is the best thing in the world. I have worked on farms for several years with equine, dogs and cats. I'm a cat mom, but walking and taking care of dogs has been the best job ever. I've walked all types of dogs from the smallest to the biggest, from puppy pit bull to old lady poodle and everything in between 🥰 For me animals are everything! Pet care is my main daily focus. I have an open schedule and very flexible hours and availability. Don't hesitate to reach out. I am confident we can make it happen. I offer walking and taking care of pets in the client's home. What exactly I'll help you with depends on what your pets need. Need someone to come and go, or someone to stay all day, or overnight (Friday through Sunday)? Do your pets need meds? Do they love lots of cuddles? 🥰 Whatever it is, I'm there for it! Because it's all about the animals!
About: I’ve always have pets in my life since I was young. I’ve cared for cats, dogs of all sizes, fish, birds, mice, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and small snakes. This includes cats and dogs with special medical needs. My family, friends and coworkers often turn to me to care for their animals when they leave town, I’m always delighted to help. I promise to love your pets as much as you do! I work a PT with a rotating schedule alternating AM and PM availability. I’m more than happy to accommodate to meet any specific time constraints! I have a small fenced in yard and access to large grassy areas for exercise if boarding at home. I’m very respectful of personal property and will follow any specific directions left to care for you home as well as your pets.
About: I have had about 5 dogs in my life, all of different breeds. I love being around them, they are all sweet and unique in their own way! I am available during the weekends, as I do work through out the week. It allows me to properly focus on other tasks, such as taking care of pets. I can do walks, as I like to go on a daily walk myself. I would feed pets however many times they need to be fed.

About: Our house always had fishes, dogs, birds, guinea pigs or rabbits growing up. Being an only child I grew up watching National Geographic channel and always brought home a stray dog or a random animal I found. Needless to say when I became an adult I was constantly volunteering at dog shelters and always dog sitting my friends dogs or my neighbors pets. I love showering dogs with affection but I am also strict when it comes to following rules and setting boundaries. I rescued my dog when he was only 2 weeks old and have bottle fed him, researched his breed and trained him accordingly. I like to do activities according to the dog’s breed, personality and energy level. I am currently a full time grad student commuting from MD-DC, so I am fully available during the weekends and evenings to shower your fur babies with love and care! I have a friendly 2 year old dog and own 1 med sized crate and 1 large sized crate if needed. I also own a self powering treadmill for dogs as well if your baby does not like the rain but still want to run. I drive an suv that is equipped with dog covers in the back seat for the dogs to lay down and enjoy car rides.

About: I’ve worked with shelters for a while and also fostered 2 dogs. My family has had dogs for a while and I’ve done training classes for puppies! I work from home 4 days a week so I have lots of time to take pets on walks or stop by to give them some love or attention! I would have my attention focused solely on the pet and do whatever I could to help and love them. I would make sure to touch base with the owner on instructions and things to look out for.
About: I have owned all sorts of pets my whole life. I love dogs, cats, amphibians, reptiles, fish and small mammals. I would love to show your pet some love. I am a homeschooling, stay at home mom of 3 older kids. I can do any time of the day or night. Our schedule is flexible to your needs. We live in a wooded area which is great for dog walks. We are able to provide your fur baby with lots of love and enrichment. Small mammals and reptiles are welcome to stay at our house.
About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!
“I had the pleasure of hiring Heather for daily drop-in visit's and I honestly can't say enough good things. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and truly cares about my dog like he was hers. Maverick gets so excited every time I leave for work and tell him that Heather will coming to see him—it’s clear to me just how much trust and affection has built up between them in such a short time! Communication is excellent, with regular report card updates and fun photos from their outings. It's such a relief knowing someone so responsible is helping care for my fur baby . If you're looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Heather!”
“Elvis is doing weekly walks twice a week with our dog. He does a great job and Bodie loves him. He always sends pictures to keep us updated and takes Bodie on long and varied walks. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
We loved having Michelle sit for Penny! The whole experience was completely seamless. Michelle followed Penny's normal walking routine perfectly, so Penny barely noticed we were gone. She is super responsive and wonderful with updates. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Carys was great with Harley! She always gave her long walks, was super kind, responsible, and easy to talk to. Communication was always great and I always felt comfortable knowing Harley was in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely recommend her!

Sophie was wonderful with my pup!! She was kind, patient, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. What I appreciated most was her flexibility. She was willing to meet with me and my dog on short notice, which meant a lot!! She was friendly, reliable, and her communication was top tier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. I am rebooking her right now :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Providence on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,852 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Providence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Providence.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Providence. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
