About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! 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!
“Words can’t express how wonderful Liana was while watching my cat, Finnian, while we were away! Each update (and pictures) she provided truly showed how comfortable, safe, and happy my cat was with her. Liana is so kind and easy to communicate with, paid so much attention to what my cat liked (treats, toys, pets, etc). I felt totally at ease while away knowing he was SO well taken care of. I would love to utilize Liana again the next time we go away—she is wonderful!”
“Bri was absolutely amazing. She was the most communicative cat sitter and gave a detailed explanation of what occurred during her drop ins. Every visit she sent a ton of pictures and it was clear my cat was getting plenty of love. Will definitely try to rebook Bri next time I need a sitter :)”
About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
“Super reliable and very easy to work with. Very responsive with communication. My cats looked very happy in photos and when I came back home. Kaitlin did a great job taking care of my kitties!”
“Grace was a great sitter for our three cats. We have a shy cat that warmed up to her very quickly. She updated us with every visit with how the cats were behaving and sent pictures. We would absolutely use her again. Thank you again.”
“Heath was great with the fur babies! Checked in numerous times and any of the items I forgot to mention Heath reached out to confirm to take care of them! Will for sure reach out again next time we go out of town!”
“Noah was terrific! He took excellent care of my cats Mousse and Butler. Enjoyed all the updates and pictures he sent with them eating, playing and him hanging out with them. Could tell from the pictures my cats were having a great time. It gave me peace of mind while I was away knowing they were so well taken care of. Definitely recommend him to be your pet sitter. Look forward to having him take care of my cats the next time I am away!”
“Jordan took exceptional care of my cats, Sage and Oliver. She followed every instruction I left with great attention to detail and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Her communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Sage and Oliver again.”
“Oxana took great care of our two cats, and they were happy and healthy when we got home. She was a great communicator, and we would definitely rebook with her.”
“Maryann took care of everything Jake needed. She was so patient with my shy boy who was determined to stay hidden during her visits. She took the time to search him out and make sure is was okay. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.
“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!”
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”
“Ellie was awesome! She was incredibly responsive and sent pictures of our Tucker on walks and playing around the house. She was nice enough to meet up beforehand and listened to all our instructions to take care of our pup! Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful with my cats! She provided fantastic care, kept me updated with photos, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone so dependable and caring. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have been dog sitting for a while. Once I dog sat for 7 dogs! I enjoy going on walks and playing with dogs. I have taken care of and walked small dogs, big dogs, puppies and senior dogs! I am currently a graduate student and have time each day 2-3 times a day to take care of your pet and walk them! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I go on walks each day anyway and would love to take your dog too! I will make sure to follow your rules for your pet. I take thorough notes to remember what you want your pet’s care to look like . I will always reach out if I have any questions!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Providence is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Mae was incredibly communicative, responsible, and flexible. The intentional questions she asked about our cat Tater Tot during the meet and greet, the detailed updates she left while we were away, and how happy Tater looked in the photos she sent all make it clear why she has so many great reviews on Rover! We would definitely recommend her and trust her with Tater Tot again.
Emily is the best sitter we’ve used on the Rover app! She made notes during our first meet and greet, gave our kitty so much love while we were away, and went out of her way to keep our kitty comfortable by managing the A/C during hot days. I 100% recommend booking with Emily.
Rick is a fantastic choice for any pet owner going out of town or in need of extra assistance with their furry friends. He came over for drop in visits at our place and made our two cats and dog feel right at home. He send a bunch of really cute pictures and helpful updates. Rick also was able to make it around the same time everyday, something that I know we appreciated. Sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what a perfect sitter looks like until the right one comes along. We are absolutely going to try to book Rick again and strongly recommend him to anyone on this app.
WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Jasmine. She is truly a “cat” person and our three cats were immediately comfortable with her (and they often hide from visitors!). From the first visit, I knew she was going to be fantastic and I felt relief knowing that I could trust her and that my cats would be taken care of while I was away. She was so reliable and attentive, dropping in for the visits on time, following our feeding instructions, administering medication, and giving me super detailed updates with plenty of pictures! Jasmine truly cares about the pets’ wellbeing and took her duties seriously. I am so thankful to have found Jasmine, I would 100% book with her again, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Grace was absolutely wonderful with Archie! She was incredibly communicative throughout my time away, sending thoughtful updates and making me feel completely at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and her attention to detail really stood out. The best part was seeing how quickly Archie warmed up to her—he already loves her! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking Grace again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!
We had a wonderful experience! Emily was able to help us on very short notice, which was a huge relief. She took excellent care of our two cats, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

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.
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.

- 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 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.
