“Jordan did a wonderful job caring for Goldfish while we were out of town. They were flexible, communicative, and followed our care instructions for him perfectly. We highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and pitbull, and have house sat for friends and family numerous times! My favorite part of the day is exploring the community with a pet buddy:) I am a full time graduate student with availability in the mornings and on weekends! I am an early bird with a flexible and accommodating schedule I love staying active and understand the importance of comfortability, reliability, and consistency! I have experience with animals who are on the anxious side and am able to meet the needs of each pet
“Michelle was great with our senior cat Little! Very responsive and gave great pictures and comments. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for pet sitting services.”
“Micheal took wonderful care of Bailer and provided me with constant updates during his visit. He was super easy to communicate with and was very timely. My cat warmed up to him immediately and definitely made a new friend. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Olivia took such great care of Phoebe while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and did everything she could to make Phoebe comfortable even though she isn’t always the best with strangers. Would highly recommend Olivia!”
“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”
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.
“Ashley is awesome. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, she made sure our pups felt at home while we were in town for a wedding. She was an excellent communicator about dog updates and was so easy to work with!”
“Jules was wonderful! I felt really comfortable leaving Courgette with them and felt very at peace. Jules was also great at communicating, would certainly choose them again.”
“Super reliable and very easy to work with. Very responsive with communication. My cats looked very happy in photos and when I came back home. Kaitlin did a great job taking care of my kitties!”
“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. (:”
“We had a wonderful experience! Emily was able to help us on very short notice, which was a huge relief. She took excellent care of our two cats, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.
“Tatiana was great with our German shepherd and my family’s border collie. She sent pictures every day during our 9 day vacation. Not only that, but she took our dogs last minute when another sitter fell through. She arrived in less than 12 hours for a meet & greet. She also stayed an extra few hours when our flight got delayed the last day. Thanks again! We will be recommending her to everyone!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, you name it! My smallest dog ever was a chihuahua and my largest is a cane corso. My home was also a foster home and we had many litters of puppies and kittens come through on their way to their forever families! I work full time so I am primarily available on weekends, but I do work from home once a week if you need a last minute walk or check in on a pet! I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.
“Elena was great with my pups! She always showed up on time and was really good at giving me updated and photos which is very important to me. Would highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Our dogs really enjoyed their time with Grace. Grace had an ease around them, quickly developed rapport and was attuned to their different personalities and needs. Communication was clear and if any issues emerged Grace was pro-active in reaching out. We would definitely use Grace again and would recommend her services to friends. A good solid, reliable and caring individual.
Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!
I’m very pleased with Samantha service. I was always informed about anything, any changes or behaviors with my dear 4 paws daughter. I definitely would hire Samantha again. She went above and beyond. Example: I told her that she didn’t necessarily need to take my Sam for walks but she asked if she could, I said that It was all up to her. my daughter loved it!!!
Jessica was fantastic with Lucky! From the moment he saw her at the meet and greet, they immediately clicked. I hired her to come twice a day and she always went above and beyond sending photos of Lucky throughout her visits. He always looked like he was having a great time while she was over. She took him on walks, played with him, and really kept him engaged. I'm always sad when I leave Lucky for a few days, but having Jessica there to keep him company eased my nervousness completely. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat.
Katrina was fantastic! She was patient, kind and loving with our dog, Ocean. She dealt with a couple of blips, an electrical outage and an itinerary change with grace and equanimity. We will hire her anytime we go away and have already referred friends and family to her. I can’t imagine a better pet sitter.

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.
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!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
