“Brianna was amazing with our two cats!! She’s very communicative, took great care of our house and sent really cute pictures. We felt really relaxed having her make sure the kitties were taken care of and she was able to accommodate us booking with her pretty last minute. Also she’s just a nice lovely person and clearly loves animals. The kitties were happy when we got home! Thank you so much :)”
“Oxana did a great job looking after our cat Bean while we were away for a long weekend trip, feeding him and taking care of the litter box. Oxana was communicative about issues with our apartment building entrance lock too. Grateful for the attentive care!”
“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!”
“Maryann is an excellent pet sitter! She leaves detailed notes about her visits and takes plenty of pictures during her visits which leave me reassured that my cats are in good hands when I’m out of town. She takes time to get to know your pets and works to build their trust in her. One of my cats is incredibly shy, but Maryann has established a trusting relationship with her and is able to pet her and give her scritches just like my other, more friendly, cat lets her. I highly recommend Maryann to anyone who needs a pet sitter for their cats!!”
“Liana was an excellent caretaker. She immediately achieved my cat's trust and sent wonderful photos. Both cat and house were in excellent shape when I returned. I recommend her highly.”
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! My schedule is very open at the moment so feel free to reach out to me! I can likely work whatever you need into my time. 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.
“Mae is by far the best sitter I’ve ever had. She genuinely cares for your pets (even the spicy ones) and goes above and beyond. After every visit she shared a thorough recap of what happened—how my cats were doing, how she played with them, and what treats they got. She even brought new toys for them to try out and play with! Also one of my fire smoke detectors ran out of battery, she figured out how to get it to stop beeping so it wouldn’t disturb the cats. I could go on and on! Mae is amazing! I was a little nervous because I had just moved here from out of state, and this was my first big trip (to the other side of the country), but Mae calmed all my worries. I felt completely at ease the whole time I was away while she cared for my two fur babies. She also sent the best photos and videos every time. I would recommend Mae to anyone looking for the best sitter in RI/Mass, and I hope to be a repeat customer for years to come. She’s truly the best and I’m so glad I found her!”
“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!”
“I am so thankful I found Renee. She is kind and thoughtful and so attentive to our Basset puppy. Her visit summaries are very detailed and she takes several pictures to help me miss our pup less.”
“This was my first time using Rover since I’m usually the one doing the pet sitting, so I was a little nervous leaving my cats with someone new. Caprice was great! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was away and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
“Michelle was diligent and a very caring cat-sitter. She was able to dispense appropriate medications to my cat, Zola, also. She would also text me pictures daily. I recommend her without reservations.”
“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: 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.
“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!”
About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.

Grace did a great job checking in on my cats again, I appreciate that she fills up their treat puzzle which they love. They seem to understand her as a normal part of their feeding routine now because when I got back they kept asking for the puzzle. That's a great sign to me, it means they must be comfortable around her!
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!
Bri was absolutely amazing! She showed up on time and was very communicative, answering right away for any questions. She sent amazing pictures and updates. I would book her again in a heartbeat! It’s so hard to find people you trust to watch your pets - Bri is truly a professional and I’m so lucky to have found her!
Noah was fantastic as always. He took great care in making sure he understood all of our cats’ needs, was very considerate of time constraints, and exemplifies the kind of person we trust to keep an eye on our fur babies while we’re away. Super kind and puts a lot of thought into each booking and visit. Will absolutely book him again when needed next!
Responsive and responsible! Had some last-minute cat sitting needs and was so relieved to get connected to Stephanie. Leaving town was way less stressful than expected—she was unfazed by our cats’ medical needs and broad spectrum of behavioral idiosyncrasies. Clearly loves animals and brought that to her care of our kitties. Great communicator, both when things go well or when something isn’t working as expected. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Providence is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 3,213 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Providence. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
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.
