“Lois was wonderful with our dogs and as a housesitter. It was clear to us in photos that Rosie got lots of exercise chasing balls and our older dog Lola was comfortable. We appreciated Lois visiting us for a meet and greet when we met her. She communicated with us with photos and videos often while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“Crissy was absolutely fantastic! I got pictures and updates on my pup, daily. She took such great care of our girl and my flowers look better than when I am home! My dog is anxious one and she loved Crissy. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Our dogs had another amazing stay with Amanda! Amanda is so communicative and leaves our house is such perfect, clean condition. Most importantly our dogs love her and are always such well taken care of with her :)”
“Karenna did a great job sitting and walking our high energy shepherd while we were in the area for a wedding. Very communicative and responsible and sent lots of photo updates. Was conscious of keeping our dog safe and happy and we never needed to worry.”
“Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates. Our elder dog got sick and Zana was a champ handling some unexpected cleanup duty, leaving our house nice and clean. We sincerely hope we can rebook Zana the next time we leave town.”
“Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!”
“Jeffrey was an outstanding sitter. We got to meet him ahead of time and also he came with great recommendations - including from a neighbor. Jeff was always responsive in communications and set us photos of Archie while we were away. Highly recommend him.”
“Claire was wonderful and I highly recommend her! My dog needs some extra attention and Claire went above and beyond, would definitely have her house and dog sit again!!”
“We left our year old dog in the capable hands of Dan for nine days. He stayed in our house and took such a good care of our dog and our home. We will definitely book Dan for any future trips!”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Josephine was reliable and responsive. She very clearly adores animals and this was like a vacation for my dog to walk and hang out with her overnight. Would definitely book again.”
“Ariel was great with our pets! She arrived on time(earlier), communicated with me well, have no complaints! Definitely plan to use her again, hopefully she’ll say yes!”
“I have a Rottweiler and anyone with a big dog knows how hard it is to find a sitter. Kerri does an amazing job with him. She is an incredible house guest. I appreciate the love she has for my buddy. Knowing he is with someone that loves him allows me to enjoy my vacations, worry free.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet-sitting, which means I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, sick animals, and behaviorally-challenged animals. I am also a proud pet owner myself - I have a 14-year old rescue dog named Greta, and I often cared for 3 of my roommates' cats in college (Luna, Socks, and Boo Radley). What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will care for your pet like they are my own, meaning constant love and attention, as well as careful attention to detail. I take your care instructions very seriously and follow directions to a tee. Every pet has unique needs, and it is my pleasure to not only meet those needs but also to make sure they are happy and as calm as can be. Because I work remotely, I can be available to pet-sit all day if needed. If my family isn't home, I will need to return a few times a day to care for my own furry friend, but please know that being of service to you means YOUR pet is the priority! Unfortunately, my pup (Greta) is pretty antisocial, which means I am unable to host dogs at my house. Because I live with my parents, they can take care of Greta while I am gone, and I am more than happy to stay at your house as long or as often as you need. I will always make sure your pet gets fed accurately, adequately, and punctually, and always has fresh water available. I also love to play with pets and make sure they get enough outdoor time and exercise if needed! Additionally, I always clean up after myself and your pet, and I make it my goal to leave your home just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. If I stay overnight, I always wash the sheets and linens, as well as clean any counter or surface I use.
“Asia did a wonderful job taking care of Piggy and Polo! 🐶💕 This was my first time working with her, and she was very responsive and made the whole experience easy. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, took the dogs on walks each day, and I came home to two happy pups and a clean, well-cared-for house. I really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave them and would absolutely book with Asia again. Highly recommend! Thank you Asia! 😊”
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
“Andrew was very communicative and followed all of our instructions for our pets and the house. He also sent lots of pictures which was greatly appreciated as we deeply missed our buddies!!”

Lara was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but Lara went above and beyond with our pups. She was super communicative and provided daily photos/updates on our dogs throughout the week. Our Golden had a few health issues pop up right before we left for vacay but Lara took great care of her and administered all of the meds every day to ensure she was well on her way back to full health by the time we got home. I have a feeling Lara will be our new go-to pet/house sitter moving forward!
Claire was a great dog sitter for our aging lab. Our dog started having some mobility problems a few days before we left on vacation and Claire was great at taking care of her. Very friendly, responsive, and responsible. We had her stay at our house for about 2 weeks and when we came back the dog was happy and well taken care of and the house was in great shape. Would highly recommend Claire to anyone needing a sitter!
Stephanie did a great job caring for our English Springer during a recent and rather last minute trip for us. I appreciated her clear communication and thoughtful questions. Daisy seemed happy when we got home and the house was just was we left it. We definitely hope to hire Stephanie again.
Kara was a lifesaver. This was my first time ever using a service like Rover. I’ve never left my dog with anyone before never friendly felt comfortable, but this time I had to try Kara was a true blessing. She took her time with Braxton. My dog is really not as social and only really likes 2 people . Kara was patient and kind with him. It took him a while to warm up to her,but I think eventually overtime he will get used to her. I felt comfortable leaving her with Braxton and the videos and update she sent me eased my mind. I really appreciate all of her patience with Braxton and I’m sure the more o utilize her service, the better he’ll be. I highly recommend Kara. She was very comforting, calm, and patient.
Lois was phenomenal with our two fur babies! We had a last-minute cancellation that really put us in a tight spot, and she was super quick to help us out and accommodate our needs. As soon as we met her, we knew this would be a great fit for our husky and pitbull. She sent us many updates, photos and videos of the pups, and we could tell she really cared for them while we were gone. We will absolutely book her again and can’t thank her enough for helping us out!
Kalliope spent the holiday weekend taking care of my two dogs. She was communicative and share photo updates of the dogs over the weekend. When I came back my house was organized and cared for plus my dogs were happy. I will be booking kalliope again in the near future.
I had Mitchell house sit my 120-130lb bernese, Disco, for an overnight while my wife and I were part of a wedding which would really occupy most of our attention. Mitchell is a guy that's easy to trust, easy going, and follows directions well. Disco loved him and seemed to have a great time because hes very tired today. Mitchell took him for several walks through the woods in our property, including down to the stream where disco likes to drink the majority of his water like a camel. We got photos of their adventure all day and while I didn't have time to respond it was good to look at my phone and know hes having a good time instead of just laying by the door waiting for us to come home. I would absolutely recommend Mitchell to other people and hope to book him again when we need him.
Tara came through within a day when our petsitter had to cancel for medical reasons, two days before our travel. Very quickly she gave us confidence that she could take care of a big dog and two cats - and she did! We got regular updates and pictures showing happy, content pets and when my flight was delayed, she came back to walk the dog that night, without hesitation. To us, it's all about the pets and their care and safety, and without hesitation I would use Tara again.
She is great we have 3 dog and 2 of them can be a little problematic, one is super anxious and bites when she is scared.... But for Suzanne it was just another day. Suzanne is very good a getting back to you as soon as possible, you are getting a true professional sitter vs someone who does it as a hobby. Look no further Suzanne is one of the best sitters rover has to offer!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Providence on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,119 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Providence walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Providence maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Providence choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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 sitter.

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.
