About: For over 10 years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away. From dog sitting and daily walks to feeding, playtime, and keeping up with their usual routines, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I am a stay at home mom with two kids and my husband has a flexible work schedule, so we will have plenty of time to care for your dog! We are available for last minute boarding or extended stays 😊 We have a 6 ft fence with a yard, a very walkable neighborhood, and two kids who love animals, so your dog will always feel loved and protected with us!
About: Hi there! I’m Rowyn, and I have wide availability this Fall. I’d be thrilled to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away!! I’ve spent years looking after the beloved pets of friends, neighbors, and family, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. At home, I currently have two cats, three fish, and a crested gecko. I also have experience with hedgehogs, mice, and bunnies. My skills include administering medication to both cats and dogs, maintaining good hygiene (like grooming and other cleanups), and most importantly providing consistent, attentive companionship! I genuinely love animals and always have fun playing with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat just wants a cozy lap and some gentle pets, I’m here to help. :’) Feel free to reach out with any questions, or we can schedule a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Schedule: As a college student, my schedule varies but I have a wide availability. I can do weekends as well so I should be able to fit around any schedule you require! For drop-in visits I will give your pet(s) food and water, clean litter boxes and handle any messes your pet makes. I will also pet and play with them and just generally check up on them to make sure they're doing okay along with any special needs and attention your pet may require. I can also water house plants or maintain the house if you need me to.
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.
“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!”
“Christine was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t be happier. She responded quickly and communicated well at every visit. She sent me pics of my pup on every walk and my mind was at ease knowing she was getting taken care of with lots of cuddles!”
About: With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, I've cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to senior pets who prefer a slower pace, I understand that every animal has their own unique needs. I have experience caring for multi-pet households, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm comfortable managing different feeding schedules, exercise routines, and daily responsibilities. I also have hands-on experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, including oral medications, eye drops, and topical creams or ointments. I understand how important it is to follow medication instructions carefully and keep pets comfortable throughout the process. Whether you need a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight care, my goal is to maintain your pet's usual routine while giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else's care, so I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates. I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I'd want for my own! I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting in your home. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to accommodate their usual feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and daily activities. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, your cat needs some company while you're away, or your pets need overnight care, I'm happy to discuss their schedules and individual needs ahead of time. My priority is providing consistent, dependable care that works for both you and your pets! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I provide care in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special care requirements. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, and topical treatments to both dogs and cats, and I always prioritize patience and gentle handling. I'm also attentive to securing doors, gates, and leashes, monitoring pets for unusual behavior, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether I'm visiting for a walk, stopping by for daily care, or staying overnight, I'll treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for!
“I tried Rover for the first time and would recommend Lina without hesitation. She provided her services on a somewhat last minute basis and was very communicative and provided updates.”
About: I am currently a school counselor in my 23rd year of service and trying to make some extra income. I love all animals. I have a cat and a border collie and Shih Tzu mix that my family and I recently rescued. I also have a 16 year old daughter who loves animals. I am reliable, flexible, patient, and caring. I have had a dog or cat my entire life. I have cared for many other people’s animals for them over the years. I have given dogs and cats insulin shots and also given medications if needed. I love taking walks and going to the multiple parks in the area. My neighbor is very pet-friendly and walkable. I will treat your pet as my own for the time I am watching them and give it lots of love and affection and care.
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, and several other animals, like pigs and hedgehogs! Raised with large dogs and love taking pups on long walks. I work part time and help my wife with their business, mainly working from home. I have plenty of time to take out your animals and provide them with any care they need. Crating, simple training, or just giving your elder dog company, I have patience and time for any pup. I can also send picture and video updates so you’ll never have to worry about your animals while you’re away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. While doing this on a part time basis, Pet care is a regular part of my routine—I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications. I keep pets comfortable, engaged, and stress-free, and I always send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and one small dog that can be a companion for your dog or respecting each other space. I have no issue using a crate if preferred.
“Zana is an incredible pet sitter/walker who we’ve used multiple times. Our dog loves when she comes over and she sends many updates and pictures. We look forward to using her in the future.”
About: I have loved and have taken care of pets all my life. They have always have been a big part of me, and I want to continue meeting and expanding my passion for them and pet care services. I receive my schedule a month in advance. My work provides very flexible hours, which will insure perfect accommodations for my time with your furry friends! I am very observant and set my attention on the pet in all aspects to ensure the pets best safety as well as playing with and making sure all the pets needs are met.
About: I LOVE dogs. I have always loves dogs and dogs have always loved me (not trying to toot my horn, lol). I have older kids in the house ages 14-19 who love dogs as much as I do. There will be no lack of attention given to your fur baby. I do work during the week. I have my mom who lives with us that is home everyday and my 19yr old daughter who is home from collage for the summer that is very excited to be my partner. I live in a single family home with a fenced in backyard. We have a 2yr old Goldendoodle who is great with other dogs and can keep you fur baby company.
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for the majority of my life, from young animals to seniors. I base my care on each animal's specific needs by listening to what you tell me at the meet and greet and, later, my own experience. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I foster and work in the cat room and the nursery with puppies and kittens. Through the shelter, I have taken several trainings to increase my skills in body language, enrichment, first interactions and more! I hope to continue to build my skills at the shelter. Through the shelter, my own pets and the pets I sit for, I have experience with giving medication--both pills and needles. While I try to keep a pet's routine, I even have a few tricks I've learned through the years to make medicating less stressful! My schedule is fairly flexible, but I do occasionally need to leave the pets/home for 6-8 hours. I'm always willing to work with my petsitting families to ensure each pup or cat is well taken care of! I follow your routine in your home to ensure the pup or cat feels as safe as possible. Animals miss their families when you're gone, and I try to make that time as easy as possible by keeping them on their schedule!

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!
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 of Dog Walking in Providence is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,801 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 Providence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Providence after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
