“Rick is a fantastic choice for any pet owner going out of town or in need of extra assistance with their furry friends. He came over for drop in visits at our place and made our two cats and dog feel right at home. He send a bunch of really cute pictures and helpful updates. Rick also was able to make it around the same time everyday, something that I know we appreciated. Sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what a perfect sitter looks like until the right one comes along. We are absolutely going to try to book Rick again and strongly recommend him to anyone on this app.”

“We’re so happy to have found Noah. We have two older cats that are more like dogs in terms of their need for humans and a blind kitten who’s never been left for any extended time. We met with Noah and he helped us to determine the right timing/visits. He gave us daily updates, pics, and videos showing how clearly happy our babies were with their caregiver. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip, gone was any anxiety about them being alone for a long weekend. There’s no doubt we’ll be booking Noah for future trips.”


“Caprice fed our cat for the weekend, and was very communicative, sent lots of photos and made us feel comfortable that Hendrix was safe and happy while we were away. We would definitely work with her again!”

“Joel was able to help us out on pretty short notice and even squeezed in a meet & greet before coming by later that night. He was great with our pup and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We appreciated Joel’s flexibility, communication, and care and would happily book again in the future. (:”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from about 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, family; I’ve been trusted to care for their furry family members for a while. Having my own dog and being surrounded by many furry friends, I have much experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule that varies throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate owners’ needs whenever possible. I prioritize communication and reliability, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I will follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Having an attentive care sitter for your beloved pet is so helpful! Jayla helped give our sweet kitty both of his medications each day while we were away and changed his litter and gave him food and it was such peace of mind knowing they were there to check on our cat! Would definitely book again!”

“Ashely was great!! She took great care of our three cats who all have big personalities. She sent lots of pics while we were away and they all looked very happy to have playtime and pets. We came home to happy cats! We’ll definitely book her again!”

“Sarah did a great job with my cat, Pippa, while I was away this week. I received photos and a message every day and always felt that Pippa was in good hands. Would definitely rebook for future visits!”


About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Beyond pet sitting, I’ve worked at an SPCA and at a zoo, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for a wide variety of animals. I also study animals professionally, so understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood is something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m a graduate student with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m generally available for dog walks in the mornings and evenings, and I have flexibility during the day depending on my class and research schedule. I’m also available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! I live on the top floor of a house with plenty of space for pets to relax and a small yard for some outdoor time. I also have a very friendly cat who loves dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a multi-animal home.
About: Hi! I’m Dechen and my family and I have had 4 dogs, all of which I’ve helped take care of. I love dogs and taking long walks, so I’m looking to find positions that allows me to connect two things I love :) I also currently live with a 4 year old black lab named Olive. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your dog! I’m currently in PA school on clinical rotations and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue! If my schedule works with what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day! Through past babysitting experiences, I have gained the trust of many local families as well as families in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I have worked with children since I was 16, and have proven to be a responsible, trustworthy, and caring caregiver and person. I will uphold the same care with your dogs, and look forward to spending time with them! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Rebecca was AMAZING with Lemon and Lou. Not once did I worry about their wellbeing while we were away. Rebecca took her time to make sure the were well taken care and even made sure to get some playtime in for them too. Communication was a beeeze and she sent a ton of pics! I will definitely be using Rebecca again. 10/10 😊”

“Latifa as always very trustworthy and reliable. I have left my cat boarded with her multiple times and I can travel with the peace of mind that my cat will be well taken care of. She is the gold standard for cat moms/ cat aunts. She is also very flexible with me regarding pick up and drop off because she knows I miss my cat and I want to spend as much time as possible with my kitty!”


“Tammy did a great job stepping in last minute to watch my three-year-old cat, Zoe, for the weekend. Tammy did a great job; she was on time, very responsive, and left our home even cleaner than when we left it. She was also kind enough to send us multiple pictures and updates of our cat while we were away. We would definitely recommend Tammy to anyone looking for a cat (or dog) sitter and will be using her again!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 10 and had foster dogs for the past year. I am very familiar with their habits and have a blog recording all the dogs I’ve met on the street including their names and personalities so I could recognize them the next time we met. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, feeding, playtime, and exercise. I can also guarantee at least two one-hour outdoor walks each day, ensuring pets stay active, engaged, and well cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every pet in my care. My home has enough dedicated space to accommodate a crate for dogs up to 100 lbs if needed. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I closely follow their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I am attentive, confident handling dogs of different sizes, and committed to science-based pet care practices that prioritize both physical and emotional well-being. Building trust with pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”


About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.
About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research, while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. I’m also available to provide pet care for weddings, birthdays, and other special or public events where your pet is part of the celebration! Whether you need help with supervision, transportation, or keeping your pet comfortable throughout the event, feel free to reach out to learn more about my services and availability. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.

Grace did a great job checking in on my cats again, I appreciate that she fills up their treat puzzle which they love. They seem to understand her as a normal part of their feeding routine now because when I got back they kept asking for the puzzle. That's a great sign to me, it means they must be comfortable around her!

Brianna was fantastic! She is super sweet and very attentive. We love getting updates of our little guy and she always gave us super detailed reports with tons of pictures which we really appreciated. She was prompt with her visits and went above and beyond what we had requested. You can tell she really cares deeply about animals and will give your pets the love and care they need while you’re away. 10/10 I would definitely book her again.

Bri was absolutely amazing! She showed up on time and was very communicative, answering right away for any questions. She sent amazing pictures and updates. I would book her again in a heartbeat! It’s so hard to find people you trust to watch your pets - Bri is truly a professional and I’m so lucky to have found her!

Noah was fantastic as always. He took great care in making sure he understood all of our cats’ needs, was very considerate of time constraints, and exemplifies the kind of person we trust to keep an eye on our fur babies while we’re away. Super kind and puts a lot of thought into each booking and visit. Will absolutely book him again when needed next!
Responsive and responsible! Had some last-minute cat sitting needs and was so relieved to get connected to Stephanie. Leaving town was way less stressful than expected—she was unfazed by our cats’ medical needs and broad spectrum of behavioral idiosyncrasies. Clearly loves animals and brought that to her care of our kitties. Great communicator, both when things go well or when something isn’t working as expected. Highly recommend!

Justina is so great! She went above and beyond to care for my sweet kitty and she took the time to understand his preferences and personality quirks - she really cares about him! Justina did a great job with his medications, feeding and cleaning, she was always on-time, she played with him and gave him the space or love he needed, and she provided me outstanding updates and photos when she was with him. I’m so glad I found Justina!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Providence is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
