“Dana was great and sent me pictures throughout my dog stay with her. I have a Vizsla and she is high energy. She really enjoyed her time there and made her feel at home. I’m definitely going to use Dana again.”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Karissa is very caring and will love your dogs like her own for the time she has them. She sends pictures at least once a day so you know they’re doing well. My dog had a great weekend while I was away. Would book again if I need it! Thank you so much!”
“Kimberly took care of our dog Walter for 9 nights, and I was so grateful that he was in such good hands. I received pictures everyday and could tell he was having a blast. He came home happy and healthy, and we are so appreciative Kimberly has always been there to care for our little man!”
“If I could give 5,000 stars I would… Elizabeth and her family are absolutely wonderful! I have never used Rover or left my fur babies with a stranger before and needless to say, I was a MESS! We had a family trip in Ohio we couldn’t miss and Elizabeth watched our new/rescue 11 month old American Bully Huey! Elizabeth was wonderful from the time we met and even when I dropped him off crying my eyes out with anxiety! She sent photo updates constantly, they treated him as if he was their own, giving him all the love and attention!! He got to play with their two pups, kids, and enjoy there wonderful fenced in backyard! They walked him and even spoiled him with a car ride to get a pup cup! Huey pretty much was on his own fun filled vacation! Elizabeth even went as far as to drop him off at our house and safely crate him the night we flew in, so he could be home when we got home. This was wonderful! She even offered to take our other dog out for a potty break when she came over to drop Huey off. She is absolutely wonderful, I have nothing but the most amazing things about her and her family! I truly can not thank you enough!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Hopefully we will be seeing you soon and Huey can visit!”
“Christine is wonderful! She took care of our fur baby Finn for a week. She sent lots of photos and updates. When we returned he was happy and well cared for! Will definitely book with Christine again”
“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“Barbara was wonderful! My dog is 100 lbs of anxiety in a 20 pound bag and I have never left her with a stranger before. She has a lovely fluffy dog and a nice backyard space. You can trust her with even your most delicate flowers. She took good care of mine!”
“We had a wonderful stay with Keasha and her son, she kept us updated on how our pup was getting on and he seemed to settle in with them with ease. Would highly recommend!”
“cannot recommend Isabel enough! She is truly the sweetest and most attentive dog sitter I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she made me feel at ease by keeping me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares for dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is happy, safe, and comfortable, and I never have to worry when she’s around. I fully trust her and plan to book her every chance I get. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and detail-oriented, look no further—she’s the best! 🐶💖”
“Kim was a fabulous Rover host for our fur baby. He's a very active puppy and he came back to us his same happy self, but very tired from playing on her farm. She was also so kind to send a worried new parent lots of photos so I knew what he was up to and that he was safe. Already booked another stay with her for our next vacation!”
“Madeline and Gregory took such good care of my girl, Lila (9 y.o. Golden Retriever). They communicated throughout the visit and provided her a safe and loving environment. She had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend these hosts!”
“Anne and her partner took great care of my pup and had great communication with me the whole time I was gone. Definitely will be using their services again!”
“Savannah was very kind, she sent lots of photo updates, and was super flexible with us during our travels. She is our new go-to dog sitter for when we go away. Thanks Savannah!”
“Rafael was incredibly thoughtful and caring and communicated wonderfully well and often. Lulu had the time of her life and I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup in Rafael's capable hands. Highly recommend Rafael!”
“Another wonderful stay at Debby’s! Our 1.5 year old poodle (Mookie) just returned from his second Rover stay with Debby. I enjoyed perfect peace of mind during my family’s 4 day trip thanks to all the updates, photos, and videos that she sends each day. I could see that he was eating, playing energetically with the other dogs (in her grassy fenced-in yard), napping on the cool floor on a hot day (just like he does at home), and cuddling up on the couch with Debby in the evenings. At pick up and drop off, it is clear that Mookie adores Debby, and that they have their own special connection. Debby’s genuine affection for her clients gives both Mookie and me a sense of peace and comfort while we are apart!”

Jordan is very sweet and communicative. She has a great, calm energy and we knew immediately she would take great care of our dog. We really appreciated her updates about how he was doing and the funny pictures she sent of him getting on with the other dogs. Jordan even accepted us at the last minute when our previous boarder fell through. House is easy to find and in a good neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!
10/10!! This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than family and by the end of our trip, Karen and Chris felt like family! We are so grateful for finding them through Rover. We looked forward to every message/update Karen sent (many times a day), simply the best! It was nice to get away for a couple nights and know our four-legged child was in great care. Thank you!!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in South Kingstown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Kingstown home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Kingstown.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Kingstown sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
