About: I've had dogs my entire life! I've grown up a HUGE animal lover and have often cared for my friends' dogs, cats, and other pets since I was younger. In addition, I am a volunteer with Hotel For Homeless Dogs in Providence, RI, and during the school year, I volunteer there weekly. I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs! I promise to show your fur babies so much love and care, and to always treat them like my own. I currently have a part time job. This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule. I am available most days of the week and on occasion the weekends. I will pay close attention to any and all needs of your dogs! Let me know and I will make sure to do it. I can easily crate your dog, feed/walk them at specific times, give them medicine, etc if needed.

About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.

“Emily is a fantastic, wonderfully caring dog walker / pet care taker. We use her services for daily weekday walks for both of our dogs which have very different needs ( a 14 yr old golden doodle with mobility issues and a 10 yr old lab that still thinks she's 3 yr old spring chicken). She has also house sat over a navigation for us so that they didn't have to go into a kennel. She is trustworthy, communicative and extremely kind. You'd be fortunate to have her services.”

About: Hi! I'm a fourth year medical student currently staying with my parents in Acton, MA! Currently I have an 96lb great dane mix,Brewster, and an orange cat, Cheddar (and YES--they are best friends). My partner and I got our dog at 6 weeks and I house trained my parent's golden when I was home from college one summer. I also grew up with cats + dogs and as the oldest child of three I was expected to help care for them so love and appreciation for animals is second nature to me! While in graduate school I fostered cats and kittens, often times with health issues. I am a current medical student at DUCOM. I'm available in the evenings during the weekdays and anytime over the weekend to check in on your pets! I am available for at home stop-in/ check up services for cats and dogs. I don't trust just anyone to care for my pets and I promise to care for your pets as if they were my own. As a life-long pet owner I know what weird behavior looks like for both cats and dogs. I will not hesitate to contact you if something doesn't feel right because that is what I would want someone to do if they were watching my pets.

“He was wonderful and very reliable.”

“Kaitlyn was great, very accomodating of a last-minute request-- and very accepting of many kisses from Vincent. :) We look forward to seeing Kaitlyn for walks in the future!”

“Annie was very communicative and willing to meet us for a quick meet and greet beforehand. We loved the photos that she sent too - it was clear that Brenna had a great time!”

About: From the moment I wake up, pet care is my top priority. Mornings begin with fresh water, clean bowls, nutritious meals, and outdoor time. Your pet will have constant care and companionship and will feel right at home with room to roam - and someone by their side all day. I will treat your pet as if it were my own with respect, care, trust. ask me any questions! thank you ! i always respond! I work remote and my girlfriend who also is a sitter on rover works remote 3 days a week, so your dog will never be alone or unattended. Always being cared for as they would be at their own home! Safety is most important for me. House has a fully fenced in yard, gates inside for feeding time, automatic poland spring dog bowl feeder to keep everyone hydrated. No excess or not recommended food to keep dogs from feeling ill. Leashed outside of house on walks.

“Danyel was great with our new puppy and older dog. Messes were cleaned up and she even hand fed he puppy because she was too nervous to eat.”

“Our dogs were in great hands with Rachel walking them! Communication was easy and we appreciated her flexibility with minor adjustments to the schedule. Our dogs look forward to seeing her again!”

About: Over the years I've had many pets including cats, ferrets, dogs, hamsters, birds, snakes, lizards, and frogs. I love animals, I am a vegan, and I have always had a good, respectful relationship with animals. I've always been able to work with large dogs and do not fear them or their size. I do have a healthy respect for large dogs, but I don't fear them. I'm a cuddler, but if your pet doesn't want that, I don't force it on them. However, should your pets want all of the cuddles, I say bring it on! If you are looking for a housesitter that is unafraid of snakes, lizards, tarantulas, or other creepy, crawly pets, you've found her! I actually love spiders. I look forward to working with you and your pets! While my son is in school, I have free daytime hours that I can dedicate to your pets, for walks, quality time, feeding, medications, and more. Whatever your pet needs, I am happy to accommodate. Whether they need play time, cuddle time, quiet time, I am here for all of it!

About: I got my first dog when I was 10. She was a puppy when I got her and was the love of my life. She taught me responsibility, patience, love, gentleness, and kindness. In my adulthood I fostered a sweet dog for two years before I had my children. Now I’m a single mom who is looking to help care for your dog during the times my children are not with me. I’m a single mom on a parenting schedule. I would care for your pet on the weekends my children are with their dad. During that time I would be readily available and have a lot of flexibility. I can easily come to your home and care for your pet as requested. I live in a single family home with a walking trail across the street. No fenced yard.

About: I have been a pet lover and caretaker my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, and reptiles, and helping out with my neighbor's farm animals. I have three years experience dog-walking, and another two years experience volunteering at a local animal shelter. I have cared for animals of all stripes (and spots), with various temperaments, activity levels, ages, and medical needs. I work from home Tuesday-Thursday with plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and attention! My weekends are also open. I take pet care very seriously, and will devote the time and attention your fuzzy baby needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I have a car and can do pick ups before 11:00 AM and drop off after 7:00 PM. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with lots of parks and sidewalks for outdoor time. My kitten grew up with other animals before adoption and will welcome all creatures big and small.

About: Decades of pet care experience, as well as completed training classes. I can bring my friendly dog(s) along if company is wanted!

Increased availability for pet sitting and dog walking during school vacations, otherwise limited availability. Increased availability for pet sitting and dog walking during school vacations, especially during the summer months. Limited availability otherwise, but please feel free to reach out! No off leash walks for new clients. Exercise on leash or in fenced-in yard for dogs. Indoor play for cats. Feeding and easy to administer medication. Currently unable to provide overnight visits or board pets in my home.

About: I love animals and have two dogs of my own! I am very enthusiastic and have experience with skittish and nervous dogs and cats as well as puppies. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a college student working a part time summer job so I have plenty of time to fill with caring for and playing with your pets! I am passionate about ensuring that animals feel safe in their homes while I am there, that they have fun and get exercise, that they are well cared for, and that they get all the cuddles they want -and none if they don’t ;)
