“Isabel is so caring and kind. She constantly sends updates and pictures. My dog has separation anxiety and does so well when visiting with her. I highly recommend her!!”
“From the moment we met, I knew my furry friend was in good hands. Zachary is incredibly kind, responsible, and genuinely loves dogs. He took the time to understand my corgi's specific needs and preferences, which gave me great peace of mind. During the stay, Zachary provided regular updates, including adorable photos and detailed messages about how my dog was doing. It was clear that my dog was happy, well-exercised, and given plenty of attention and affection in the dog parks and at his home His home is a perfect environment for dogs, plenty of space to play. I also appreciated their professionalism and punctuality, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I will definitely be booking Zachary again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Zachary, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”
“Highly responsive (texts back within minutes) and very knowledgeable about dog breed specifics (ex. How to keep my brachiocephalic breed safe in warm weather). Brixton had a great time and we’d happily rebook with Anely!!”
“Matthew once again took very excellent care of Bailey while I was away for the weekend. He was good with giving medications and sent me frequent updates and pictures. Most importantly, he loves having Bailey over and Bailey loves spending time there! I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else.”
“Sarah is the most amazing sitter ever! I travel with certainty that my cats will have the best care possible! She is very sweet and an animal lover like myself. Thank you Sarah!! 💝”
“She took excellent care of our boy and he had a great time playing with the sweet Lucy. Courtney provided us with updates and pictures and was always easy to get a hold of.”
“Keasha is wonderful! I've have 2 sitters I use with the Rover app and Keasha is one of them. She has this wonderful calmness and welcoming personality. I have used her time and time again because she is phenomenal. She often updates me on how my dog is doing and send me pictures. Which is great when you're away and you know your dog is in the best of care. I have used Keasha with my previous dog Russell who was a senior dog and now again with my newly adopted dog Scooby. She's the best!!”
“Ty housed my cat for 3 weeks and she was fantastic. She sent daily updates/photos on his behavior, eating, etc. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress free knowing my cat was in good hands. I will definitely be requesting her for the future.”
“Connie was great with Eli and also very communicative with me, sending updates and photos of my big boy throughout the time that she was watching him. She also took the time to take him for a little walk as it was a beautiful day and overall, Eli seemed very content with spending his day with Connie and we’re looking forward to the next time!”
“Karen made our dog feel right at home and has a perfect fenced in yard that is dedicated to the dogs. Her Lab made the perfect companion to keep our excited pup busy and entertained. Karen also sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with, definitely going to be returning next time we need a sitter!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Karen is the best. I’ve taken my Shih Tzu to her since 2017, sometimes for 10-12 days, She gives him his meds and my dog is happy to go to her. She is very loving. I highly recommend Karen”
“Doris was able to take on our frenchie last minute to which I was very appreciative! I could tell our dog had a wonderful time with her! The picture updates we got were awesome as well. Thank you!”
“Alyssa was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter 😊. I was super impressed!! Willow is a rescue we only had about a month, so we were concerned about having her get nervous and anxious in a new environment and away from us. Alyssa kept us updated on my Willow's stay - pictures and prose. We were so relieved to see Willow getting along so well with Alyssa. Willow came back content, and we were so happy to have found Alyssa!! Your pets will be so lucky to have Alyssa care for them; do not hesitate in the least. You will see for yourself what a loving and codependent care she gives them !”
“Carolina is simply amazing. She is so accommodating and trustworthy. I had at least two updates, pictures, and videos of my little guy. Her family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I will be using her again on our next vacation.”
“Jesicca pays attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew my little guy: from his treats and his routine down to the way he likes to play ball. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that my little guy didn’t have to go stay somewhere else, but could stay in his own routine. I would HIGHLY recommend Jessica and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with furry people. Don’t even worry about stressing or planning for a trip to the kennel, just contact Jessica and take care of your little family. AND, she will update you as often as you’d like regarding your pets and their behavior.”
“Another great stay! We always have such peace of mind leaving our dog Isla with Sonia. Sonia is so easygoing, very communicative, and our dog absolutely loves being there! She always comes home happy and tired from lots of playing. We so appreciate the excellent care that Sonia provides and will continue to be repeat customers going forward!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
If i could give more than 5 stars i would. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Sonia was aware of this and did everything she could to put my mind at ease. She sent frequent updates and pictures of him living his best life. When I picked up my dog he was clearly happy and well taken care of. I will absolutely leave my dog with Sonia again.
This was our first time boarding Tank and as many first timers, we were worried as to how this would work out. We met Courtney for a meet and greet a week prior. It was obvious she is a dog lover, and we were comfortable leaving Tank for the week. Any concern we had, was with Tank and not with Courtney. As it turns out Tank’s vacation went very well. Courtney sent us daily pictures and comments, which put us at ease and we were very thankful for. Courtney has her own pup and both dogs got along well. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to play and Tank got plenty of walks. We appreciated coordinate being so kind and caring with Tank. This was a very positive experience for us and we will not hesitate to use Courtney again when we are away.
Isabel is AMAZING. This is our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Isabel! She could not be anymore attentive and loving with our dog, (anxious) Buttercup! Isabel was super communicative and her updates were informative and sweet. It’s clear she loved our dog as her own. I can’t imagine entrusting our dog to anyone but Isabel. We feel spoiled to have found Isabel—I know Buttercup was!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,222 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of Providence sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Providence landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Providence home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Providence.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Providence sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
