“Jessica is professional, caring, and a phenomenal dog sitter! She gave the BEST updates and made any worries about leaving my pup behind disappear. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to care for your fury pals. Thank you!!!!”
“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and caged animals since I was 12 years old. I have experience working with large dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I was a maid for several years, and so I have experience interacting with pets in others homes as well as my own. I regularly bathed my own dog, Xena, and am comfortable bathing other dogs as well. I adore dogs and animals of all kinds, and your dog will receive loving and responsible care under my supervision. I'm a full time student at USU working on my geology undergrad degree. My busiest day is Wednesday, where I'm usually on campus from 9:30 until 5:30. However, I have several hour long breaks in my schedule. If you live within 20 minutes of campus, I'm happy to use those breaks to come look in or/walk your pet then! I have lots of experience with and patience with animals, as I grew up with several crotchety old cats and lots of neighborhood dogs who I loved very much. I was always the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and still care for my boyfriend's parents large dogs when they're out of town. Daily playtime is a must, preferably several times a day if your critter is up for it. I'm an excellent fur baby snuggler as well, if your pet is more lap-time aligned than active.
“Samantha was so great, she sent us regular updates and pictures of our pups and was happy to accommodate their schedule. We have four, so we’re extra grateful for the attention and care. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have dog sat for friends and family and I have had pets my whole life! My main priority is making sure they are loved and well cared for. I’m attentive, patient, great at following pet routines, and will treat your pets like my own! I’m currently trying to make this my full time job so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and will typically be available any day throughout the week! I live in a townhome and have 1 cat at home. I’m not sure how she would be around other animals but I would be happy to provide care directly in your home!
About: For the past few years I have been working and training dogs, I have about two years of experience, I know how to train for loose or slack leash, (dog close to side while you walk) heel, and sit. I also know more obedience training if you happen to be interested. I currently in college, but my schedule is flexible. I can work with whatever time you or your furry companion may need, just let me know. Please note, I do offer same day booking, and I’m free most days, but sometimes school and life can be a bit unpredictable. If a same day booking doesn’t work out, I’d still love to work with you in the future. I have years of experience, with walking and doing basic training with dogs of all sizes, ages and needs, and I know my way around Logan as well. I can ensure you, that your pup will always be given the same level of care that you give it, and it’ll never be taken to an unsafe area, on our walks. I know it can be scary to have a stranger take care of your pet, so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at any time.
“Erin took great care of Brodie and the house while I was gone. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, her communication is great and quick, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again”
“best sitter in the valley! Allyson was amazing with handling our big family of 4 dogs and 4 cats. She kept us updated on their day and went above and beyond when our plans changed a bit. my animals loved her and felt so comfortable. she even cleaned before she left!”
About: I have had animals in my life since I was born! I have a special love for pups and cats. I am not a professional dog trainer but I did train both of my childhood dogs simple tricks. I understand that pets are a part of your family and should be treated with endless amounts of love! I’m currently part-time employed with a very flexible schedule, so I am usually available any day of the week with advanced notice. Weekends I’m completely free! Pets deserve to feel comfortable and at ease when they’re away from their people. I can provide that safe and secure presence while you’re away, and help them stay on their daily routine!
About: I have been around animals my whole life, they bring me joy and I love to surround myself with them. I hold high regard and respect for furry and feathered creatures. I jump at the opportunity to care for friends' pets, and I'd like to open my home to your loved ones too and develop a relationship. I don't have any furry house friends of my own currently, but I do have a working 16 acre farm with a variety of small livestock, cats and birds. I love each and every one of them. I am well versed in basic medical care of animals. My latest diabetic cat lived with insulin shots twice a day for 3+ years. Pets that I sit can either roam around the farm with me as I work, or stay in my cozy house and receive regular visits throughout the day. Dogs tend to be thoroughly entertained with a big smile on their face. If allowed, your dogs will enjoy various pasture-raised, organic treats from the farm. I see a lot of benefits to dogs that get safe, controlled exposure to farm life and being around other species. I also enjoy taking dogs on hikes with me. I have trails close by where we can get additional exercise and exploration. Animals in my care get loads of attention, love and entertainment. I also have resident farm hands that love animals, offering extra social interaction and playtime. I work full time on my 16 acre regenerative farm. Pets in my care get loads of love and attention. More active dogs can roam around the farm with me, always close by with a ball or toy. Less active, retired, older pups can hang out in my home and receive regular visits throughout the day. They will never go long without love and interaction. My home is big and spacious with lots of lounging areas. The farm has some fenced areas, and generally dogs do fine hanging out close by, or as needed can stay on a leash or a cabled run nearby. I alao have a 10 x 16 fenced kennel run available. Pets are never left outside unattended, but get loads of outside time if desired. I also have daily farm hands that all love animals and love to play with them. Pups love farm life! Did I mention they will get pasture-raised organic lamb and turkey treats if their parents allow it?
About: I had multiple dogs growing up and a few cats. I went on vacation and discovered how hard and stressful it was to find a sitter for my dog that I trusted and so I wanted to offer up my services during these busy summer months so you don’t have to stress about it. I volunteered for years at the humane society and helped with dog therapy when they visited my job as a CNA at a memory care facility. I’m currently working part-time and doing school online. When I’m not at work I am mostly at home or outside doing stuff. I don’t have any pets of my own up here but have a few back home. I don’t have a backyard but I go on multiple walks a day and love to be outside.
About: I have experience with various different types of animals including cats, and dogs. I love how special and unique each animal is and I love to get to know them and getting to know their personalities. I am working full time and going to school I typically don't work mornings and a couple days during the week I am off and I can stop by and check on them throughout the week. I do anything and everything I can do to take the best care of them, and I always make their health top priority. And treat them like royalty and babies
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was six years old. I’ve always loved dogs. I treat them like I would treat a child. I try and make sure they have everything they need to be successful. I have 2 dogs of my own and I love them to pieces I work for instacart so I can plan my schedule to work for you and your pups! I typically do some side gigs after work but can move things around to ensure the pups are getting the most love and attention possible! I have a big field right behind my apartment where the pups can go potty. My apartment is puppy proof and is safe for all dogs.
“Jackie is absolutely amazing. I had a unique situation come up while I was gone and she quickly adapted and took such great care of my doggo. I would highly recommend her. She really treated my pup like one of her own and goes above and beyond.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Laura stayed at my home with my 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were away. She kept me updated with pictures and the pets seemed happy to be with her. She communicated with me often and I felt comfortable leaving her with my pets. My home was in order when I returned. I will definitely use her again!
"T" was absolutely amazing. She immediately fell in love with our little Maltipoo, "Muffin". She played with her, walked her and made certain she was well taken care of. We routinely received pictures and updates. She is now our all-time favorite provider. We will stick with her for all our pet care needs!
Evren was wonderful with our 3 dogs! They warmed up to her right away, and she took amazing care of them while we were away. She even went above and beyond by caring for our 4 rats and leaving the house spotless. We felt completely confident knowing our pets were in great hands. We highly recommend Evren and will definitely call her again.
Elizabeth was amazing and I would definitely rebook. She came over before the booking so our dogs could meet each other and make sure it was a good fit. Poppy is such a sweetheart! During her stay Elizabeth went above and beyond to care for my house, in addition to my dogs. When I returned everything was clean. She’s the best, thank you!
Claire is absolutely fantastic—we would 100% recommend her! She took wonderful care of our very loving (and very clingy 😂) cat for three weeks while we were away. It was the first time we’d ever left him for that long, so we were pretty nervous since he needs A LOT of human attention and affection. Claire immediately put our minds at ease with frequent updates and lots of photos of them playing, cuddling, and spending time together. Our cat took to her right away, and it was clear they became fast friends! We came home to a very happy cat and a spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Claire, we’ll absolutely be booking with you again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Providence is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $69 per night. 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.

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.

- 96% 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.
