About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. Mainly molosser breeds. I’m a very active person so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I can assist with teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, lay, leave it, and recall commands. Things you can expect under my care: walks, runs, and training if needed and requested. If given permission, dog parks and occasional trips to the beach depending on the weather and time under my care. I work full time Monday through Friday 5am-3:30pm so I recommend booking for the weekend for long stays. Shorter stays can be made during weekends between 3:30pm-6:30pm (length of care Monday-Friday may be negotiated) Care will be primarily conducted out in town as I do not have a yard. If home pets will be crated with scheduled potty times.
About: Woof! Meow! Don’t be off put by my headline - I am a big fan of both dogs and cats. I love walking dogs and am also available to housesit. I am a full-time writer and I do a lot of my work from home so I am pretty flexible during the week and on weekends! I am available for dog walking, drop ins, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am more than happy to stay at your home when needed while providing your pets with all the love and care they need! I have experience with all kinds of dogs and of all ages.
About: I’ve never lived without a dog and have taken care of family and friends’ pets of all shapes and sizes. As the former guardian of a wonderful dog with stranger danger and issues with other dogs, I am fully capable of learning and respecting your pups boundaries. It would be my pleasure to care for them and meet them where they’re at. Right now I work with rescue dogs weekly and love them all. I work from home and am happy to come during any part of the day depending on my schedule. I’m flexible and willing to meet your needs. I love to walk pups, provide enrichment, supervise yard time or whatever else they need to get the exercise and care that your pup requires.
About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting. I walk a lot everyday so adding a dog would make it even better! I am very experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!
About: I love animals and giving them the attention they deserve. I love going on walks on a daily basis and it’s even better to be going on a walk for a little fur friend. Since I was a little girl I begged my parents for a dog and when my dream came true I had to keep up the care to show them how much I appreciated it. When I moved out of my parents house I adopted a puppy for my own and loved her like she wasn’t my child. I have always cared for my dogs like they’re part of the family (because they are) and I plan to treat your fur friends the same. I believe it is important for dogs to maintain a regular schedule along with receiving regular attention.
About: Born and raised on a farm, I have experience working with a vast majority of different animals! I am comfortable with any breed, size, and age of pets, and it is my goal to make sure your baby is taken care of and receives proper care, I will treat them like my own 💗 I currently take care of my own senior kitty “Frisky” who is 21, so I have a soft spot for the older babes. I’m currently looking for employment, so I have a completely empty schedule open to your needs! I have too much time on my hands, so scheduling won’t be an issue. My current home is sadly not suitable for in home buddies, but if emergency placement is needed for a day I can definitely work something out :)) Recently moved from the Wickenden area to downtown, but I prefer keeping the pups towards India point park, the perfect park for long walks and sun time! I know the fox point area like the back of my hand and I drive, so going over there for services is much preferable and safer for everyone 🙃
“This was Heather's first visit with my dog. She was communicative and understanding of his needs. Sometimes it takes him a little bit to warm up, and by the end of the visit, he was rolling over for belly rubs. I look forward to her staying with him in the coming weeks while I'm away!”
About: I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine passion to every pet I care for. I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters for around 8 years, regularly walking and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I’ve had dogs of my own for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets at every stage of life — from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have always had a deep love and patience for animals. I truly care for every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I understand how to adapt my approach whether it’s high-energy playtime, structured walks, or calm companionship. I am looking for weekday stop-ins and walks, along with weekend stays, that will fit around my graduate school schedule at Brown University. Hours are relatively flexible. I love ALL animals from the top to the bottom of my heart, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
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 also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! 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: I truly love dogs. I grew up with cocker spaniels, but also love bigger dogs like labradors and well-trained German Shepherds. I currently am a dog mom to a stubborn pittie mix and have done formal training classes and one on ones. I love any dog who is well trained and friendly. I would love to help care for and nurture your dog while you are away. I am a dog mom and care for my baby every day with walks or playtime. We often can be seen walking all over the East Side. I would like to go to your house to care for your dog. I typically try and get a sense of how your dog likes to interact with visitors, e.g. games, walks, cuddles, etc.
“Boa was great very flexible and understanding considering our circumstances. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a good pet sitter. We will be using her again in the future.”
About: I bring a deep love for both dogs and cats, paired with attentive care rooted in experience and heart. I'm especially skilled in supporting senior pets, understanding their routines and mobility needs, and I’ve worked with puppies and kittens to reinforce training basics through patient, positive guidance. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or slow, reassuring companionship, I adjust my approach to match their personality and needs. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment. I'm currently available most times as I left my corporate job and I am focusing on animal care as well as started a packing and organization company. In-Home Care with a Thoughtful Touch I care for pets in your home with respect for their routines, comfort, and safety. Whether it's keeping their feeding schedule spot-on, reinforcing training basics, or offering senior pets a peaceful pace, I adapt my approach to fit their unique needs. I make sure your space stays tidy and stress-free—so you return to a happy pet and a calm home.
“Michelle was great, super professional and communicative. Gave us great peace of mind while we were out of town that our cats were in good hands! Highly recommend, will book again!”
About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
About: I have been taking care of my dog since he came into the family at just 8 months old and I loved caring for him so much I decided to get my own cat a few years ago. This is my part time job as I am currently a student! I try my best to keep my schedule flexible enough to care for my own pets at home along with my personal time. I’m mostly available during mornings and afternoons during the week. On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I am available after 3:30 P.M. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day! No pet is too big or too small for me, I have experience with pets all sizes. I have been taking care of my family dog since he was just a puppy and he is now 11 years old! I have had plenty of years of experience with pets as I have also taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends. You can count on me to safely take care of your pet.
About: I've had animals my whole life! I currently take care of my own 2 senior kitties and know they need special attention. I also had two dogs (puggles) from the same litter for 10 years before sadly losing one to cancer. This experience helped me learn how to care for sibling pets and a pet that is grieving the loss of another. Additionally, in high school, I took many companion animal classes and learned from industry experts how to care for pets. My neighbor was a dog groomer and showed dogs professionally, and I accompanied her at times to help with the dogs. IMPORTANT SCHEDULING NOTE: I am typically available between 5-11pm Monday to Friday, or anytime Saturday and Sunday. I am typically available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Monday-Friday I am available between 5-11pm. I am a very routine person and am known for getting to places early/ on time. No special request is too "weird" to me! I can ensure your pets have free roam of the place or are secured in a crate! I can take dogs outside in a fenced yard or on a leash if there is no fence. I also fully understand pets can be messy and never mind if I have to clean up any accidents (my experience with senior pets and a dog with bladder cancer taught me that).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Brianna was the best with our boys! They can be a handful but they had the best time with her!! She took great pics, was super communicative, and definitely went the extra mile to ensure they got all the love and care they needed while we were away! :) Would absolutely recommend!
Grace was great with our dogs. We scheduled for a drop in - where Grace would just pop in to take the girls out to pee and make sure they had water, basically - and we were so pleased with how communicative Grace was during the process. We didn't expect to get as many pictures as we did but it allowed my partner and I to relax during an outing, knowing our dogs were taken care of. Grace kept us in the loop for the entire process. Will absolutely book with Grace again!
Cailey took Fletcher for two walks while I was at work. He's an anxious dog, and I was nervous, but he warmed up to her within minutes at the meet-and-greet. She sent photos throughout the day, including Fletcher relaxing in his bed and while out on their walk, which gave me real peace of mind. I'll absolutely be booking her again, and I would especially recommend her for owners of nervous dogs.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Providence is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 3,076 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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.
To find sitters in Providence with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
