Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.

Ellie was amazing! Our cats have never been happier while we were away. After we came back, we even noticed that our two cats were friendlier with each other than they were before. Ellie sent us pictures during every visit and gave us updates so that we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. We really hope that Ellie wants to be Nutmeg and Boo's pet sitter again next time we have to leave the house.

Emily did a fantastic job of caring for two senior cats as well as our downstairs neighbors' two rambunctious younger kitties over Christmas, including one cat that takes medication twice daily! Emily was amazingly patient about giving medication, even when Cleo decided to put her through her paces, and communicated frequently both to troubleshoot Cleo's medicine and for regular updates. It was a great relief to have someone taking excellent care of our cats while we were visiting family for the holidays, and from the adorable pictures she sent it's clear that our cats loved her visits as well!

Bri took such good care of my anxious lil guy. He can be A LOT and she was very understanding and nice about everything. I can’t thank her enough! She was patient with my building’s entrance system, respectful, professional and sweet! Also, she took the best pictures of my doggie. Will definitely ask her to sit again, if possible!

Highly recommend! Oxana is so patient and caring and also very knowledgable and intuitive when it comes to dog behavior. I love that she is super communicative and reliable, and that my velcro doodle, who normally suffers separation anxiety, is quite happy spending time with her.

We had a great experience with Noah caring for our 2 dogs Luna and Woody. He did a meet and greet first to learn each dogs individual personalities. Noah communicated well during their visits with updates. He also offered to feed my pet turtles and filled my outdoor bird bath.

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.

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!

Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.

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.

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.

Out of all the cat sitters we've used before, our cats bonded with Isabelle and legitimately look forward to her visits. Attentive, caring, and responsive service. She sends detailed reports and pictures and we were never in any doubt that our babies were well cared for. Highly recommend her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Providence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Providence on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 3,219 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Providence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
