“We had never gone on vacation without our 6 year old dogs before. When we planned a trip to Barcelona, this was my one hesitation. Garrett (Xinwei) removed all my apprehension. We met with him before leaving and his kind nature and caring questions gave me the confidence and security I needed to be able to go abroad without worrying about something happening to my babygirls. His every photo captured how happy my dogs were in Garrett’s company, and his daily text updates assured me that they had everything they needed. We will 100% be rebooking with Garrett. :)”

I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!

About: From childhood, my heart has held immense compassion and love for all furry friends!🤍🥹 I started out as a bather at a grooming facility at 14. This helped me realize the joy that I receive working with animals! I then took a program focusing on veterinary medicine, which sparked a new outlet for me to improve the lives of pets, and care for them in a different way🦋. I also worked for a veterinary emergency room in MA, where I worked alongside the amazing technicians, saving the lives of critical patients 🩺. I also worked for pet clinic at a nonprofit humane society, doing free vaccine clinics, taking in puppies & kittens that were left in harmful conditions, and giving them a chance at a beautiful and safe life with their forever family🩷. I also worked as a veterinary technician at a local animal hospital, seeing & providing veterinary care for all kinds of amazing creatures like guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, you name it!🐾 With a patience heart, and extensive experience with animals that require special attention due to medical conditions, behavioral challenges, and all their special little quirks that make them unique, you can ensure that with me, your pet is loved abundantly and in a safe environment! 🐕 🐓🐾🤍🐈‍⬛ 🦜 🐹 🩵 I’m currently pet sitting full time so my schedule is very open! I have a very flexible and broad schedule, with lots of time to care for your beloved pets!🩷🐾 As a diligent pet sitter, your instructions and regimens for your pet will be followed in order to mimic the amazing and unique care you give to your pet when you’re home! It can be overwhelming or difficult for your pet to acclimate to a new person in their environment. My approach is to make them feel like they are still safe, still loved, and still getting the same meals, treats, and exercise they get when you’re home. Feeding them at the same times, making sure they get those rewards when they do a great job, and any special instructions you provide will be followed with care.

I have hands-on experience with dog training and walking, and I’m comfortable with all breeds—big or small. I also love cats and have extensive experience with feeding, litter box care, and giving them the attention they deserve.

About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research, while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. I’m also available to provide pet care for weddings, birthdays, and other special or public events where your pet is part of the celebration! Whether you need help with supervision, transportation, or keeping your pet comfortable throughout the event, feel free to reach out to learn more about my services and availability. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for them feels second nature. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve helped with puppy training, administered medications, and cared for senior dogs with mobility issues. I’m dependable and make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I hope you’ll trust me to take great care of your four-legged friend! I work Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., but I’m available before and after work and some days around lunchtime. I’m fully available on weekends and for overnight house stays. When I’m staying at a client’s home or stopping by for walks, I treat pets like they’re my own. I stick to their routines to keep things familiar. I make sure they get plenty of love and exercise, and I always leave their space clean.

I have my own transportation, and am very reliable. I grew up with two Scottish Terriers and a Bearded Dragon, and have loved animals all of my life. I’m currently a part time substitute teacher, so I am available on weekends and some days during the week. I am also available most evenings!

“Tammy has been fantastic with our two dogs. She takes care to meet both of their specific, and different, needs and always updates us at the end of the walk with the news of the day, down to what it was that scared our youngest dog on this particular walk (eg: the color white, car doors, construction, guys in hats, etc.). She's always fast to respond and arrives on time, or a little early. Could not ask for more from her!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I value honest and reliable care, not only for owners, but the animals themselves. I have experience providing care for a diverse set of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals. I aim to build trust with those for whom I provide care. I am comfortable with administering medication and attending to specific needs. Most importantly, I treat others pets with the same love and attentiveness as I do my own. I work full-time during the week, though I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I work from home. I am available for drop-in visits any day of the week. I work with my clients to meet their needs and go out of my way to do so. When providing care in an owner’s home, I aim to leave pets and the home in a state that the owner would be happy to return to. I respect the boundaries of owners and pets alike so that I can build a relationship of trust, communication, and reliability. I hope to show my dedication to proper pet care through my actions.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Providence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Providence is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 3,121 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Providence. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Providence after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Providence. On Rover:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
