“Everything was super smooth and easy. Wonderful communication, as we received updates and pics. Our two pups were so relaxed when we arrived home and it was good to know they were in good care. Will be booking more dates with Zana very soon!”
“Lisa took great care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them since one developed medical needs and it was a great experience. She communicated well and took good care of both the house and the dogs in our absence. We'll definitely be booking her again.”
“Cassie was super great with our pup! She was flexible with timing and did a great job of updating us during her time with him. Left our house super clean too! Will use her again!”
“Jess and Janelle are amazing. My two cats and two dogs LOVE them and are excited when they are cared for by them. I love them as well … they are professional, caring, communicative and thoughtful. Jess and Janelle are my go-tos … always!!!”
“Stephanie was so great to work with!! She was super responsive, kept me updated on the pups, and handled my two fur-crazies with ease. Would definitely have her for a doggie sleepover again!”
“She did a great job with my shy pup, and by day three he was eating out of the palm of her hand. Very regular with pictures and communicative. Would highly recommend and book again.”
“Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.”
About: I am an enthusiastic pet lover and have lots of experience walking dogs. I am temporarily living in Parkville, MD. I am accepting one-time or temporary repeat clients (around 3 months). I currently have no pets but love spending time with dogs and cats. I work outside of 9-5 work hours, and am often off during the week, so my schedule is flexible. I will ensure to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet. I am unable to bring your pet into my own home but am adaptable and willing to work with you on caring for your furry friend at your residence.
“Jennifer was awesome! She did a wonderful job of taking care of LouLou She also left the house in great order and kept me updated with LouLou. I would definitely use her again.”
“Anna was an incredible baby sitter for Meatball. She not only went above and beyond for him, but she was also putting both my fiance and my minds at peace. Anna made sure to look after Meatball as if he were her own, nothing was ever too much and she always put in 100% for him. She took him on hikes, bought him new toys, made sure to give him constant love and most of all was always there for him whenever he needed her. Meatball loves Anna and was so happy and calm with her. She also took her time to train him, ensuring he felt more calm and less anxious walking on his leash and around other dogs. Anna was constant with updating us on how he was doing, which put our minds at ease as we were far away (dealing with a time difference too). Lastly we came home to a clean and respected home, which we truly appreciate. We would recommend Anna any day, thank you so much for all your effort and love.”
“Michelle is super communicative and responsive. She handled my sick dog's explosive diarrhea like a champ and when we got home, you couldn't tell that anything had been amiss! No smells, no stains, cleaned up like a pro! Since then, Michelle has watched Artie a few times and handled schedule changes with incredible flexibility. I appreciate her so much! She even checks to see how Artie's doing from time to time, which I think is really sweet!”
“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!”
“Kate was so wonderful to work with. Provided regular updates, and was super sweet to our girl when she was having some tummy issues. Went above and beyond to address it and was so wonderful. It really took the stress out of going away on a trip, and she took great great care of our place. Highly recommend Kate!”
“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!”
“Bailey was absolutely amazing. She was very personable and easy to talk to. My furry kiddos loved her and she took care of both them and my house. She sent photos and was easy to get ahold of when needed. I would definitely book her again. My dogs loved her and she seemed to feel the same about them.”
“When you have 2 dogs, one of whom is skittish, and you need to find the person who has extra patience, a kind heart, a soft voice….Tara is the one! She is beyond flexible with her schedule, diligent with note taking for the best of care of your pet(s), and very communicative! Thank you Tara for everything; we will see you soon🐾”
“Melissa was easy to communicate with, both for scheduling a meet and greet and then also booking for the rare trip that we couldn't take the pups along on! We appreciate how well cared for the dogs were, that she took time to walk both of them and send updates and just generally spend time with them ☺️ thousand percent recommend Melissa as a sitter and hope to be able to book her again in the future!”
“Peter looked after my 2 dogs for 9 days. It was great couldn’t ask for more. I usually judge by how calm my dogs are when I come back. And with Peter they are very calm and seem happy. The house was left as it was before too. No issue at all! Thanks so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
We had an amazing experience with Lois this last weekend! She took wonderful care of all three of our dogs, especially Archie, who needs a little extra help getting in and out of the house. She also made sure Gunnar and Juno got plenty of playtime and attention! Two of the three dogs take medications and she had no problem giving that to them and Juno's prescription food too! It gave me such a peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I also felt like our house was cleaner than it was when we left. Lois is who you would want to be caring for your animals if you are gone! I would 10000% recommend her and would love to have her watch our dogs again!
Lisa took great care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them since one developed medical needs and it was a great experience. She communicated well and took good care of both the house and the dogs in our absence. We'll definitely be booking her again.
Hannah was fantastic! I am incredibly particular as are my dogs. I have high needs dogs, particularly seniors that require extra patience and attention to which Hannah provided exceptional care. She came through to care for my dogs on short notice and went above and beyond to care for them. I trust her and really appreciated how thoughtful, compassionate and patient she was I highly recommend Hannah. she was incredibly attentive and communicative. Again I am someone who’s incredibly particular and she exceeded my expectations. Thank you for everything Hannah.
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)!
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!
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.
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 of House Sitting in Providence is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $46 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Providence. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
