“Ashley has been amazing with our pups! We can tell she really cares that they get quality time outside, plays with them, and gives them lots of attention. It’s great to see her having fun, and the dogs love her! 😍”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and my hands-on experience. I’ve had my own dog for years, which gives me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve also dog-sat and walked various breeds, so I’m comfortable with all types of personalities. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior dogs needing a little extra care, I adapt to their specific needs. Plus, I always make sure our time together is fun and engaging! I am a student who loves to go on walks daily, I would love the company of a dog along with me! During my winter and thanksgiving breaks I would be more than happy to dog sit and house sit with all of the free time I have. I have grown up with dogs all of my life. My family is big on rescuing dogs and finding their forever homes. Therefore I have been raised to make sure the dogs are happy and comfortable.
“Steph was AWESOME!!! She took great care of both our cats and was creative when one of them was being a little stubborn. She was kind and respectful and the cats felt at ease! Thank you Steph!!!!”
“Another wonderful sit with Meira! She’s so great about detailed updates and so many photos and videos. Deedles loves her - even I can’t touch the belly, but Meira is allowed!”
“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!”
“Christine was great! She asked a lot of questions to get to know Totter in advance and had clearly reviewed her information well. She was respectful of our home and took very good care of her while I was gone.”
“Thanks so much for taking great care of Basil and Sage! They had so much fun meeting their new friend. You were kind and friendly to them and made their day while we weren’t there.”
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Jean for drop in visits with our chihuahua for the past few months. So happy to have found her. These little dogs aren’t that easy but we feel very assured he is in good hands. Jean helps me navigate the rover app, is reliable and gets back to me promptly.”
“Kristine took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was consistent in the time each day that she came to visit them and made sure they always had adequate food and water. She had no trouble applying medication to one of our cats, who is notoriously difficult. She played with them and even made her own cat toy when she couldn't find ours. She communicated clearly and frequently and sent pictures that we appreciated very much. I highly recommend Kristine and would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Carse has been wonderful with our baby while we’ve been out of town! She truly shows how much she cares for the animals in her care with her detailed messages and photos after a visit. I always have extra peace of mind knowing she’ll be caring for my kitty.”
“Crystal is an AMAZING cat-sitter — five stars honestly isn’t enough!! From the very beginning she was super quick to respond and so easy to communicate with. Every single day she sent the best detailed updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — not only did she manage our cat’s diabetic care perfectly (special food and insulin shots handled flawlessly!), but she even left us a framed photo of our cat. Who does that?! 🥹 When we got home, we could tell our cat genuinely missed Crystal — which says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Alex is amazing!! She took care of our dog Skippy and cat Boo last night and we are so thankful for her. Our dog was comfortable with her immediately. Alex left the best notes and sent pictures during the drop in which left us feeling so relaxed while away from home. We won’t hesitate to request her again and again!!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

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. (:
Grace is absolutely wonderful. She’s dependable, kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my babies, and with Grace, I never have to worry. I know they’re safe, well cared for, and probably being spoiled just the right amount. She treats them like they’re her own, and that kind of trust is priceless. If your pets are family and your standards for their care are high, Grace is your girl. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Grace, for taking such amazing care of my babies!
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!!!
After almost 12 years of only using family members to watch our pup, we found ourselves needing to hire a sitter for the first time. We were SO nervous but from the second we met Mae we knew we were leaving our dog in good hands. My favorite part was the detailed reports of her visit with so many pictures of our shy dog enjoying herself. We will absolutely use Mae again and recommend her to anyone needing a calm, professional, and animal loving dog sitter. You can tell she is passionate about her job and that is exactly what I was looking for when searching for a Rover sitter. Thank you Mae!!
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.
Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.
Lila was wonderful with Snickers. She was very prompt and did everything I asked with his crazy senior dog behaviors. She’s sweet and loves dogs, it’s obvious with her interaction when she met my dog. It was also quite a last-minute booking, and she really helped us out that way.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Providence stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
