“Anne was amazing! So attentive and took in mind my dogs usual routine- and took extra great care of her! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely recommend her.”
“Boa was a wonderful sitter who watched over my baby Sunny like he was her own. Boa has a lovely home and is very kind and attentive. Her response time was also fast and communication clear. I highly recommend Boa to be the home away from home for your furry loved ones.”
“Isabel is best! She and her husband took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away. They are excellent communicators and sent us really thoughtful updates throughout the week. You can tell Isabel is an animal lover and a responsible & caring person right away, so we felt at ease leaving our dogs in her care. She also has two very sweet and adorable dogs, so it was nice to know our dogs had some canine company to hang out with while we were away. Thank you again Isabel and Shawn!”
“Rafael was fantastic with Phoebe! From the very start, he was organized, transparent about his home setup, and had a great system in place to keep all the visiting dogs safe and comfortable. During her overnight stay, he sent tons of wonderful photos and videos, and it was so clear that Phoebe was happy, relaxed, and right at home with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so glad we found him. Highly recommend!”
“Poppy had a wonderful weekend stay with Robert! He was so kind and attentive and shared lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We will happily send Poppy back for future stays with Robert!”
“Lisa took wonderful care of Barley! She sent regular updates with amazing photos and videos letting us know how he was doing. We had peace of mind knowing he was safe and so comfortable in her care.”
“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.”
“Leanne and Michael took great care of my dog, very attentive to her needs and provided frequent updates on how she was eating and getting along with the other dogs. Will be hiring them again!”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my goldendoodle with Shawn! From the very beginning, she was incredibly cooperative and informative, which made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She took the time to answer all my questions and provided updates while I was away, which I really appreciated. Her huge fenced yard is perfect for dogs to run around and play safely, and I could tell my dog absolutely loved the space. Shawn clearly cares deeply for the pets she looks after, and it shows in the way she manages everything so thoughtfully. I highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Angelina was a spectacular host! She sent constant updates, was flexible, had a great set-up, and most importantly gave a lot of love to my girls. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Angelina! I would also note she was able to accomodate (in my circumstances) a last minute, 3 week stay for my pups which is unheard of. That speaks to her heart and caring nature!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Doris and the wonderful care she provided for our dog, Giorgie, while we were away for over a week. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by sharing frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really reassured us that Giorgie was happy and in good hands. Doris clearly loves and understands dogs, and we could tell she went above and beyond to make sure Giorgie felt at home. We returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“Gary was the best! I look forward to having him take care of my sweet boy again in the future! It's so good to feel confident leaving your pet with someone who really cares for our sweet baby!!!! Gary provided regular feedback and photos!! Very happy!! Thank you!!”
“Natalia was great with our boxer. She had so much fun playing with her Corgi and came home happy and tired (always a good sign!). Natalia sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear our girl was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“Nadine has such a soothing and calming energy that she’d make the most anxious dog feel at ease! She took such great care of Sweet Pea and was so in tune with her quirks. I would have Pea stay with her any time without a single worry!”
“Kendra was great! She was flexible and communicative and my older dog had a slight seizure while in her care and she kept her cool and also made me feel comfortable from afar! My dogs enjoyed their visit and would definitely recommend and book again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Stitch and Bear had a great time at Erin’s place! Erin was wonderful! Thank you for helping us out when we were in a bind last minute. She accommodated with our furbabies needs, sent great photos/videos. My furbabies seemed to make themselves at home at her house! Again, thank you Erin!! We will definitely be rebooking with her again! 😁”

I’ve gone through pet sitter after pet sitter, and there’s always something that goes wrong, whether it’s not following instructions, not giving the pets enough attention, forgetting things, or just not communicating well. But Anely was seriously the BEST! 🥹 I’ll definitely be booking her again. She listened to every single one of my instructions, and trust me, I had A LOT. 🥲😂 I’m definitely one of those people who’s a little crazy about my fur babies, but she handled everything perfectly! Seriously, she was so worth it, and I couldn’t be happier. 10/10 would recommend! 🐾❤️
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!
We can’t say enough good things about Eliza! She took Marvin in with such short notice, it was impressive. The handoff was super easy and Eliza was very communicative; sharing photos and videos of Marvin. These were great action shots! Not only that, but she was very flexible when plans changed due to a flight change. We highly recommend her and will be bringing Marvin back whenever we need a sitter!
Tammy was a total lifesaver. My original sitter canceled 2 days before my trip to Europe and Tammy opened her schedule up to take my Ziggy! She treated his so well and sent me updates to see how happy he was! I think he enjoyed his vacation too! I will absolutely be working with her again and couldn’t recommend her more!
Remi spent 2 nights with Kae and her family—the first time my 2-year-old pup stayed overnight with anyone. He had a great time! How do I know? He was in her arms when she opened the door. Glad to see me but not frantic to get at me. Content. Bright-eyed. Will definitely ask again if he can stay with Kae. Thank you!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Providence is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $78 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 of November 2026, there are 1,217 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Providence can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
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
- 95% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
