“Jared took excellent care of our dog, fish, and house while we were away! He went above and beyond when the wind took some branches down and made sure our pets had a clean home and yard to enjoy while we were on vacation! Thank you Jared! 🐶🐾”
About: Leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a stressful experience. My goal is to keep you both anxiety-free during your time apart, while providing a cozy and safe environment for your pup. I grew up with dogs all my life and have one adorable girl in my home currently. Since childhood I have also found joy in taking care of friends’ and relatives’ dogs. Pets have always been a genuine part of my family, and I’ll be sure treat your fur kids like my own while they are with me. In the summertime I can be home all day and night to keep your pet company. The occasional errand might take me away from your long-term boarding pup unless we’ve prearranged that he/she needs constant care. Dogs are free to roam my house and get lots cuddles and treats throughout the day. I would prefer that new boarding clients be either crate trained or fully housebroken/past the chewing phase of puppyhood. This will help prevent accidents and keep your dog safe at night when unsupervised! I have a very comfy 30” kennel available or you’re welcome to bring your own.
About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs all throughout high school. I take pride in my patience with both old and young dogs. I am a full time student at Utah State and am trying to have an extra source of income. With that being said, I am available almost everyday at anytime. I can do anything from take your pup on a walk, to taking care of them overnight. I am open to taking care of your pup by whatever rules you have set. I have had clients let their dogs sleep inside with me and others who wanted me to put them in their kennel.
About: I started volunteering at my local animal shelter as a teenager where I helped get a dog named Boo adopted. I have found such value and fulfillment in providing the best possible care to pets and animals in need within my community. Some of the animal care fields I have worked in are: Dog and cat boarding / daycare Doggy daycare hikes Positive reinforcement-based dog training and puppy training/socialization Veterinary assisting In-home pet sitting including dogs/cats with medical need, and reptile/bird care. I believe that our pets bring such happiness and quality to our lives and that they deserve just as much happiness. I take pride in providing care to others' pets like they're my own. We are their whole life, so we might as well do everything we can to ensure they are well taken care of. -Shayla, animal welfare advocate and wildlife ecology student With love from Malibu the Catahoula Leopard Dog I am a student at USU, so I have time outside of classes and taking my boy Malibu out on adventures to care for your fur babies on weekday mornings, lunch, and afternoon breaks. I provide attention to your pet based off their individual needs and temperament and have years of experience monitoring body language. I have been certified in pet CPR and use a harness when needed to ensure safety on walks. I also provide picture updates.
About: Animals have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and are my biggest special interest. I grew up taking care of a multitude of different pets including cats, dogs, and birds…I love them all! I make sure to stay up to date with new pet care and training ideas. I believe in using positive reinforcement to build strong and healthy relationships with our pets and have taken courses in dog body language and have familiarized myself with Canine and Feline CPR and heimlich maneuver. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I generally work in shifts of 4-5 hours so the longest your pet will ever need to be left by themselves is 5 1/2 hours My husband is a student and the university and can also help take care of pets if needed/wanted. I have a friendly 2 year old golden retriever who would love to keep your dog company if wanted otherwise I’m happy to visit your dog by myself. I can crate train or let your dog free roam, whichever you are most comfortable with
“Highly recommend Rowan to take care of your pets. Rowan helped us pet sit our playful 1 year old Torti Cat. All the pictures that we got she looked very happy. When we got back home she was in great spirits. Will def ask Rowan next time we need some help.”
About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all. I have an associate degree in animal science so I am comfortable with any medical care that might be required for their care as well. I have worked with obedience training and service dogs, though I never received credentials. I am a mom of 2 with a few part time jobs so my schedule is busy but flexible. Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.
“Debbie is the greatest! Our new dog who is scared of everything warmed right up to her! She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our girls were well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had an abundant experience caring for dogs, tortoises, fish, etc. since I was 13 years old. It became my responsibility early on to care for and train my dogs in their puppy years and on. I also spend time walking my neighbors dogs anytime I can help them, the dogs ranging in both size and age. I’m a recent UCLA graduate who’s living out in Logan, UT for the next couple of months. I absolutely adore animals and love looking after them in any manner. I live a very active lifestyle so walking is almost a daily occurrence for me! I currently have two dogs, tortoises, and fish at home in California. I’m very accustomed to a lifestyle caring for animals. I do my best to stay organized on feedings, as well as maintain abundant exercise for the dogs.
About: “Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love them and how well I care for my own. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family — with patience, kindness, and genuine attention to what makes them feel safe and happy.” “Pet care fits easily into my day because it’s something I’m already doing! I start and end my day with animals — walks, feeding, playtime, and quiet time. I enjoy being around pets and giving them attention throughout the day, so adding a few more paws just makes it better.”I'm currently unemployed and so I have a lot of free time to spend with the thing I love most. I have a fence yard. When I feed my dogs their food I put extra additives to help promote their health and so they are not eating the same old thing everyday. I'm always giving fresh water to them. I just try to think if I was an animal what would I like. I want their short life to be good.
About: There was never a time in my life where I didn't have a dog or cat in my home. I've taken care of all kinds of animals. I will love your animals like they were my own! I currently have a part time job until about 2:30 pm on week days, anytime after that I am available. I am also available anytime on the weekends. I'm also willing to work holidays for extra! I will do whatever makes you comfortable. If that's staying at your place, I will do that! If that's taking them into mine, I will do that! I have a beautiful path/walkway right by my house that animals just love! I'm happy as long as you're happy!
“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”
About: I have had my dog for 5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!
About: I can make home made treats and medicine for dogs. I can perform CPR on a dog and a cat. If necessary, i know how to restain both dogs and cats. I was a veterinary technician in training so i know the basics of handling, new born puppies and kittens, older dogs and cats, or female dogs in heat. If you have a pregnant female, i know how to help in complicated births. If it's a rescued dog, I know how to be gentle and calm with them. If you recently had a dog in surgery, I will help in any way possible to make sure it doesn't feel too much pain. I can also train dogs to listen to sone commands, not a lot, but I am willing to train and teach them.
“Tammy was an absolute lifesaver! She took such great care of our 16-year-old cat Leia while we were away for my sister in law's funeral. We had to leave pretty quickly. Tammy kept us updated with photos and messages, which really helped ease our minds. Her empathy and fast response when we needed a sitter made all the difference. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend”
“Sam did a great job. She sent cute pictures of the dogs and sat and played with them on her visits. My dogs are usually shy but they liked her right away. I definitely recommend her. You can tell she loves animals from the moment you meet her.”
“Misty was an amazing and caring cat sitter for us! She has such a calming presence and you can tell she really cares by the questions she asked. We felt 100% confident leaving our cat in her care :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters! Cody and Amanda took such great care of our two dogs and our crested gecko while we were away. Both dogs get quite anxious when we are gone; it was such a relief knowing they were getting lots of love and were well cared for. We loved getting updates and pictures with each drop in visit. We'd definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and dependable pet sitters!
Our experience with Eva was outstanding. She cared for our Yorkie, Copper, over four days, providing excellent care and attention to detail. Eva's communication was superb, with regular photo updates and texts that kept us fully informed throughout. She followed Copper's feeding and outdoor routines meticulously, which helped build trust between them. Within a couple of days, Copper felt at ease enough to sit with Eva on the couch, showcasing the bond they formed. Given Copper's unique personality, which demands trust on his terms, Eva's ability to win him over speaks volumes about her capabilities. We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!
I can’t thank Brenna enough for her help. I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped up immediately to care for my dog and two cats. She was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire stay. It’s a huge relief to find someone you can trust with multiple pets on such short notice. Everything went smoothly, and I will definitely be booking her again!

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.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Providence with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
