“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

About: Hi! I’m a teacher enjoying summer break and looking forward to spending time with your pets. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of experience dog sitting, cat sitting, house sitting, and babysitting. I’m responsible, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether your pet needs companionship during the day, regular walks, or care while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a teacher and currently off for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets. I enjoy being active and going for walks, so taking dogs out for exercise and fresh air is something I genuinely look forward to each day. Throughout the week, I can provide consistent care, companionship, playtime, feeding, and walks while making sure pets stick to their usual routines. Whether a pet needs an active walk, a cuddle on the couch, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to provide plenty of exercise and enrichment. I also make sure pets have companionship, a safe environment, and lots of affection. As a teacher, I’m dependable, organized, and attentive to details, and I will always communicate with owners by providing updates and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
About: I was a pet sitter when I lived in Portland, Maine, where I had regular clients, including a family with show dogs. This family had dogs, goats and cats and I watched them regularly, staying at their house. I grew up with family dogs. I now have cats and love them so much. I am currently working part time so have a lot of flexibility to tend to the needs of your beloved cats and dogs. Depending on my work schedule, I would visit morning or afternoon. I will make sure to take care of your pets and clean up any messes they make, so you'll come home to a house as clean and organized as you left it.
“Christine was fantastic! She sent so many updates and always answered very quickly if I had questions. She had my pups the entire weekend and took such amazing care of them! Beaux is a little nervous and unsure around new people and she was very patient with him!”
“Sophie was responsive and flexible while our plans fluctuated! She was able to help us out last minute and our shy dobie took to her right away. Thanks Sophie!”
“Emily was a great sitter for our dog! We have quite an anxious dog and Emily was kind enough to provide courtesy visits before we left. She was very patient and understanding with our dog, and we felt much more comfortable leaving her under such good care. Her communication was great and she provided daily updates. Would definitely rebook with Emily again!”
“Jayla accommodated our last minute request. Great communication throughout the days we were away and lots of fun pictures for our peace of mind. We will be looking to book with Jayla again in the future!”

Emily was a great sitter for our dog! We have quite an anxious dog and Emily was kind enough to provide courtesy visits before we left. She was very patient and understanding with our dog, and we felt much more comfortable leaving her under such good care. Her communication was great and she provided daily updates.

We had not been away for several years so we very very hesitant to have someone stay in our home to take care of the dogs, especially for 2 weeks. However, once we met Sarah, we knew our home and dogs were in great hands. Sarah took great care of our dogs. She even won over our grumpy old man, Scout. We had been having trouble with Scout eating each meal, but he ate every meal while we were gone. For us, she is the Mary Poppins for dogs. She sent updates and pictures everyday. Our dogs were very happy and our house was spotless when we returned. The next time we travel, we will definitely hire Sarah again.
Christine watched my dog and my house for nearly a month while I was out of the country. It was the longest I had ever left my dog so I was definitely anxious. Christine provided plenty of updates of all the fun adventures they had while I was away and let me know that my dog was doing just fine. She watered our garden and took fantastic care of our house too! I returned home to a very happy dog and the house just the way we left it. So greatly appreciate Christine’s commitment to providing exceptional care!!!
Carse is AMAZING!! I received daily updates with multiple pictures of my girls. She was wonderful with them, even my spicy girl who is disgruntled when I'm not home. The entire time I was gone, I felt 100% confident that my girls and home were in good hands. I will definitely be booking Carse again in the future :)
Kat, as always, went above and beyond for our dog and for our family. Our dog had a medical emergency while we were out of the country and Kat went above and beyond in her care for him and we are forever grateful that we entrusted Kat with his care. I can’t recommend Kat highly enough in all aspects.
Sophie did a fantastic job dog and house sitting for about a week. One of my dogs is very cautious and Sophie was extremely patient in earning her trust, especially during a few big thunderstorms and fireworks on consecutive nights. We came home to happy dogs and the house in great condition. I received daily text updates and thoughtful questions to make sure everything was on track for our pack. Will definitely hire again!
Michaela did a wonderful job of dog sitting our puppy for two nights! She administered his oral medications, took him to do activities and kept him regulated during fireworks in the area. She also checked in often and loved our puppy like he was her own. I would highly recommend Michaela for dog sitting/walking if you’re looking for a responsible and experienced person to care for your pet.
JL gave Bug so much love and attention while he was watching her! He's very responsive and sent us lovely updates and photos to let us know how she was doing. She was definitely getting spoiled, and I know she'll be happy to have JL watch her again in the futue.
Pleasant, professional, and kept a watchful eye on our little girl! I would highly recommend! We are definitely glad we went with Jonathan! Wonderful experience especially for such short notice! Put our minds at ease and Bonnie was catered to like the princess she is! Thank you so much Jonathan!!
Molly is an outstanding dog and house sitter! She made herself available with short notice on our end and was very attentive to our Chocolate Lab Hope. Molly walked her confidently (Hopey can be leash reactive), and followed all of our care routines. As she is a Vet Tech, she even noticed Hopey’s ear needed cleaning and did it for us! The house was immaculate when we returned a few days later and Hopey can’t wait for Molly to cuddle, play and hang out with her again! Thank you, Molly!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Providence on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,944 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Providence walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Providence maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
