“Lauren was WONDERFUL with River: she was easy to communicate with and sent me updates every time she stopped by. She even vacuumed my house while I was away. Great and sweet human being: I would use her again!! I always felt comfortable knowing she was reliable and quick to respond.”

About: Experienced pet/house sitter since 17 years old for 20+ families, caring for dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, raccoons,and farm animals, including administering medication. I have flexible availability throughout the week and weekend. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening pet care, including walks, feeding, medications, and overnight stays. I follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions closely, while keeping their home safe, clean, and secure. I provide attentive, loving care and regular updates.
“Julie was excellent! Our girl Moxie suffers from separation anxiety and Julie knew how to support her while we were gone. In addition, our house was so clean you wouldn’t have known anyone else had been there. Thank you, Julie!”

“We were very thrilled with the Care that Makayla provided to our three large bozo dogs. When we came home, all dogs were fine, mail on the counter, space was clean, and we immediately made her another offer for another opportunity! And one of our dogs is not as easy going, and chewed herself out of the kennel again, but Makayla was able to manage her benignly!”

“Jennifer was wonderful! She watched our 4 month old puppy in our home for 5 nights. From the very beginning she was communicative and responded quickly. She did a meet and greet and spent so much time getting to know our puppy, Petals. Her love of animals was clear and Petals was very comfortable with her. Jennifer gave us pictures and updates and even did some training with Petals. We came home to a happy, well taken care of puppy and an immaculate house. She had even washed the sheets and towels and had the bed made for us. We highly recommend her and will definitely become repeat customers. Her professionalism and obvious love of her job made us feel very comfortable leaving our sweet puppy with her.”

“Donna was an awesome fit for Lucy and our new puppy Matilda. She sent pics and she also cleaned up the house before she left. She washed the sheets and made the bed so we didn't have to do it when we got home. She also prepped Lucy's food which helped as well. Would definitely recommend her for your fur babies and we will be using her again. They were very well taken care of.”

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers with pets of all kinds over the years. My mother and 2 of my sisters currently are all groomers, professional show handlers, trainers and used to be vet techs. I’ve always been the family member who rescued strays and taught their show dogs fun tricks! My love and passion for animals runs deep! I’m comfortable with most things pet related. I’ll walk them, run them, and play them. I have experience bathing, trimming nails, leash breaking, training, boarding, and more. I’ve rescued dogs for most of my life and always assisted at the shows. I believe in forming bonds with our pets while also setting boundaries. Building trust and finding a mutual respect and appreciation with sets a foundation that leads to these amazing bonds we create with our pets. I can’t begin to count the number of dogs I’ve taken in over the years for all sorts of reasons but always to give them a better life. I helped my mom open her own grooming business and I worked there for a few years. Very early on, the need for boarding became apparent so I began offering and boarded quite a few clients pets over a long period of time. I then helped a friend of mine open her facility where they train police dogs, dock diving, barn hunt, lure coursing, and confirmation and they make their own dog food. I ended up moving to North Carolina where one of my sisters had two Down Syndrome babies. There was an opportunity to help my sister and get to know two wonderful tiny humans who bring so much love into our lives. My sister is in the military and the only sister I have who doesn't work with pets professionally. My Staffy bull, Ryker, immediately became best friends with my nephew, Talon. People were constantly in awe of their relationship. It made me proud. While in NC, I began boarding again but on an unofficial level (not through a company.) It turns out a TON of military people constantly needed affordable and trustworthy boarding and when you connect on a personal level, my sister, the trust is easier to come by. I was home with the kids anyway and had a one acre fenced in yard. How could I not board?! The kids are a bit older now so I relocated to Summerville, SC and I’d love to get more involved with animals down here. I’m currently in an apartment (getting a house when lease is up, but the apartment was an easier and more affordable transition.) It’s a gated community and pet friendly with a few breed restrictions but no size restrictions. There’s a fenced in dog park area and and plenty of walking available and I have a fully fenced patio. I’m willing to pet sit at your place or welcome your pet into mine, knowing that it’s an apartment and not a house and we have a “yard” but we share it with other dogs. I’m willing to board any length of time as long as details are clear up front. I also do dog walking every day of the week and very few time restrictions. I’ve trained many dogs over the years and I’m more than willing to work with your pet, however, I am not credentialed, I can only speak from life experience and my own pets. I’m also willing to care for cats whether in your home or mine. My pets are very cat friendly. My place is clean and you are welcome to visit before making any decisions. I have references upon request for anything I’ve mentioned above. My experience with dogs is in all ages, from birth and all the way to final stages. My dream is to open an animal rescue of some sort someday. When I think of a fulfilling life, that’s where I go every single time. I hope to soon meet your extended family members! More than pets, they are pure joy. “Surrounded by paws, filled with love, and always in good company.” - hopefully I’ll soon be able to call this my business slogan one day ✌️ I have an open schedule to care for pets. I currently have a part time work from home job. I go for a walk and to play at 5:15 every morning, a routine we got into when my schedule was more limited. The bulk of my career was in EMS. I’ve retired from that line of work and want to follow my passion of working with animals so that is what my current focus is which is why I have open availability. IMPORTANT: If you are requesting house sitting, I most likely will need to bring my dog, Wesley, with me :) I am very comfortable with most pets and most things pet related. Besides the obvious cat and dog, I’ve house sat for people with a sugar glider, lizards, tortoises, horses, even a snake breeder! I’m comfortable given medication, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes and cages. I don’t want to list everything I can do to assure your pet is cared for because there is just so much! But if you have any questions, concerns, or special requests, just reach out, I’m sure something can be worked out.

About: Hey y’all! I’ve always cared for pets growing up, from puppies to senior dogs and even kittens to cats. I’m always intrigued by the different personalities each animal can bring, and the love they all deserve. Each animal has its own personality, and the best way to care for them is to follow their lead and understand them. Obviously, if they need guidance in the right direction or a little extra love, I'll give it. Overall, I believe in praise and positive reinforcement. At the end of the day, my goal is to become their second-best friend (obviously keep you as their first :)) I am working at the moment, but don’t be shy; you are more than welcome to send a message, and if we can work around it, I'd be glad to watch your baby. I work very few days, so I am more flexible than usual. I care for pets the way you would as the owner. I follow directions and always give extra love when I can. I’ll be there to make sure they're cared for.
“Cassie was so wonderful with our dog Piper!! I was so grateful to have her with us this past week, I don’t know what I would have done without her. She took great care of Piper, walked her, played with her, cuddled up with her and gave her all the love. So grateful to have met Cassie!”

About: My jack, Russell terrier, Chili passed away in August of 2022. The house feels empty without a dog running around, but I’m not quite ready to be a full-time permanent mom just yet. However, I would love to take care of your loved one in My Home, and the house would not feel so empty. I have a fenced in yard. It’s not very big but plenty of room for a small, medium dog. I make your pet my first priority. I used to work from home and that was great because I was able to be with the pups all day and night. I now will be in the office on most week days. I do not work far from home so if needed, I can pop in at lunchtime. I have a fenced yard. Your fur babies are welcome on my furniture and the bed but if you prefer them to be crated, that is fine too.
“Addison did a great job. When we got home from our trip Nala & Heidi seemed very happy and tail wagging dogs. Thank you for keeping our dogs happy and comfortable while we were away”

About: I give all the love I have to give when it comes to animals. They come first. I will always provide the best care ! I’m currently helping my elderly mom around the house, with a lot of free time available. In other words, I have a very open schedule. I make sure they’re always in sight and protected. I do not have pets currently. In-house sitting would be best! I follow the rules !
“Tianna house sat for us and cared for our two dogs, two cats, and hamster for five days. Came home to happy/healthy pets and a clean house. Tianna was also very responsive to all messages.”

“Tori is awesome! She is communicative, timely, and kind. My lab Annie loved her and seemed very at ease even during her first meeting. I’ll be utilizing her as a sitter again and recommend you do the same!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog while out of town. I love doggos and hope to adopt my own in the future! I used to be a teacher for many years. Right now my schedule is very flexible! I’m a homebody and love going for daily walks. I’m a very clean and organized person. This makes it easy for pets to roam around freely and safely! My husband unfortunately is allergic to cats so I will not be hosting cats in our home. If your cat is hypoallergenic (short haired and bathed beforehand) we can discuss overnight stays!

“Amazing sitter! She took such great care of my kitties and made being away so much less stressful. She sent updates and photos, was reliable, and very communicative. I also really appreciated her availability on short notice. I would absolutely book with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,475 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 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.
