“I am so happy that we found Blair. My dog has terrible separation anxiety and I feel bad when I have to leave her to go to work. I feel so much better knowing that she is in safe hands with Blair. They go for walks and hang out together for some time during the day. Blair shares a report card and pictures after each visit. She has made this very easy for me. Thanks Blair!”
“Joshua is an exceptional pet sitter! He accepted my last-minute booking when I needed to go out of town for an emergency. I was nervous to leave my cats, as they don't take distance well. Joshua was great with them, providing them the food, attention, distance and play they needed to feel comfortable. He even managed to get my most nervous cat to trust him after only a few days! Joshua is incredibly communicative and sends plenty of photos to help pet parents feel at ease. I certainly recommend him to anyone and would book again. :)”
“Maria is so great with my boy, Simon. I can tell from the pictures and updates she sends that he just loves her company and she really enjoys him too. She also follows the instructions about his routine well. Simon seems to thrive with her which certainly makes being away from him easier.”
“Karenna is a reliable and thoughtful sitter. She made my cats feel like they had a friend when I was away. She cleaned up, asked questions along the way, and got my shy kitty to come out for rubs and pets. I will definitely use her again- I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own varying in breeds, ages and sizes and I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and families dogs of every kind since i was 10! I’m currently enrolled in classes at a University so I have a lot of free time around my classes to take care of your dogs part-time! My schedule can be flexible! I have 3 dogs which I care for, so I’m ready to play with your pups and give them the attention they need, and care for older dogs who need more calm attentive care!
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.
“Christine was great!! She took care of Riley for us, walking her, feeding her and spend time with her while we were away for a long day trip. We will definitely rebook her in the future.”
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: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats! I grew up in a home full of pets and currently have a cat of my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some quiet company, I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pet. I’d love to meet your pet and help care for them like one of my own! Though I work full time, caring for pets is a meaningful and enjoyable part of my daily life. I have a cat of my own whom I care for every day, so I’m familiar with the responsibility and joy that comes with pet ownership. I’m organized and flexible, making sure to dedicate quality time to provide attentive care, walks, and companionship for the pets I look after. I provide loving and attentive care for pets through house sitting and drop-in visits. I’m happy to care for your pets, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friends happy and safe.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! For the past 3 years, I’ve been fostering dogs through BARCS and have helped 5+ pups find their forever homes. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and lots of love are. I’ve also been a reliable dog walker and pet sitter for friends and family over the years. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while they’re in my care! I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule is a little busier during the day. Most days, I’m available after 4:30 PM and would love to spend my evenings giving your pups some extra love, attention, and exercise! My schedule can vary depending on classes and school commitments, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to work with your schedule. I’m also happy to discuss specific days or times in advance! I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I like to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Since I’ve been fostering for the past 3 years, I understand that every dog is different and may have their own personality, energy level, and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they’re getting the care and attention that’s right for them. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and just the way I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Lina was fantastic! Very communicative, timely, and experienced. It made our trip out of town much less stressful knowing she was keeping an eye on our furballs. We will definitely be looking to book her again the next time we are in need of cat care.”
“Rowyn was amazing with our two kitties! I felt so comforted going on a long trip knowing she was checking in on them. She went above and beyond the care instructions we left, and it was clear our cats loved her!”
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
“Marissa was fantastic with my two cats. She provided dedicated care for my older cat, who is ill and has a specific routine. And she won the heart of my younger cat, who is normally extremely shy. Two thumbs up, like and subscribe to Marissa!”
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.
“Paige took great care of our animals! Our dogs, especially, need extra patience when getting to know new people, and Paige was gentle with them and went at their pace. Thank you so much!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people. I’m currently a part time student at Towson with a part time job, Monday through Thursday. I have plenty of breaks throughout the day to spend with your pet! Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment! Bring whatever toys/treat you want. Whatever makes them comfortable! I will love them like my own!!
“From our first contact on, Rachel was friendly, very helpful (this was my first Rover experience, and she made sure I understood how things work), responsible, and caring. I felt entirely safe having her take care of our cats at our home. She did a great job, and sent us some truly awesome pictures! I highly recommend Rachel. ?”

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!
Meghan was very kind, attentive, and communicative with the first drop in visit with Junie. Junie took a little bit to warm up, but Meghan was patient and used her knowledge to help ease the situation. Junie got comfortable with Meghan and overall, I was very pleased.
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!
Excellent communication all the time, on the button My dog loves her….matter fact I’m home now and normally my dog Lexy would not go out with anybody if I was here. However, with Susan might Lexy gives her the respect she’s due and follows her without hesitation
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 Pet Sitting in Providence is $16 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,018 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Providence. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
