“Kerri was great! We needed someone to watch our dog while we went to my bridal shower and Kerri was communicative, helpful, and took great care of Athena. Would definitely book again!”
“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”

About: Now booking- summer 2026! Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a college student athlete and Rover sitter for over two years. I am well versed with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and behaviors. I have served over 40 clients with overwhelmingly positive reviews! Recently I had a senior dog and a puppy myself, so I understand pets of all ages and demeanors. In the past, I volunteered at a rescue shelter and have learned how to handle many kinds of dogs. Additionally, I attended a puppy care course with my dog, and I mastered walking techniques, training methods, and behavior management. I utilize these walking techniques with all of my clients. Outside of pet sitting, I enjoy playing softball, reading, and baking. I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I am a college student out of state. I am doing pet sitting as a full time job this summer so I am widely available. Check my calendar or shoot me a message to find out if I’m available! ⭐️I have three dogs at home with all different breeds and behaviors, able to work with you and your dog’s needs. ⭐️ Well versed in dog walking techniques, and can work with you to come up with a plan to make your pet comfortable. ⭐️ Experience with reactive dogs from volunteering at a rescue
“Traci did an AMAZING job with our elderly girl. She left the house neat and our girl was happy. My family feels much more comfortable going away knowing Traci will be there to watch our girl.”


“Absolutely amazing ! It was a last minute booking as she accepted it even if there were only few hours in advance notice. She was incredible with my dog which unfortunately had an upset stomach that evening too. Extremely kind and caring. It was our first time leaving the puppy in someone’ else’s care and we couldn’t be happier. Absolutely we are going to hire Kaylee again!”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Rachel’s care and dedication while watching our senior dog, Kaia, during our weekend trip. What truly stood out was her flexibility and commitment to ensuring Kaia was well taken care of, no matter the circumstances. Originally, we planned to return Sunday night, but a strong winter storm changed our plans. When we reached out to Rachel last-minute to ask if she could stay an extra night, she didn’t hesitate to help. With road conditions still dangerous Monday morning, we ended up extending our stay another night, knowing Kaia was in great hands. Despite the storm hitting Acton hard and making walks difficult, Rachel made sure Kaia could get outside safely and kept our home well cared for. Her reliability and willingness to adapt to unexpected challenges gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”

“Susannah did an excellent job house sitting with my three elderly cats. They aren’t easy, given their age and “litter habits- or occasional lack thereof, but Susannah obviously was kind and gracious to them. She also took great care of my home. She’s at the top of my list next time I go away.”

“Danyel made us feel so comfortable leaving our babies with her. We came back to happy and safe dogs which is more than we could ever ask for. She handled our home amazingly and even identified a plumbing problem we needed to have fixed!! We appreciate her so much and hope she has more time to take care of our babies in the future. Thank you Danyel!”

“Wendy was great! Our dog is shy and takes a while to warm up to new people but she handled her like a pro. She was easy to communicate with and provided daily updates/photos of our pup. She also left our place spotless which is always appreciated after travel!”

“This was our first time using Julia and we were gone for a week. She did a wonderful job taking care of our golden retriever and our home. She shared pictures, gave updates and even shared concerns when she noticed changes in our dog and worked collaboratively with us to problem solve. She went the extra mile and took care of our trash, ran the dishwasher, washed, dried and made the bed before our return, which was greatly appreciated because I hate laundry! lol. We wouldn't hesitate in having Julia come stay again in the future!”

“Megan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and dog for the weekend. She was a great communicator with us and home and pets looked perfect when we came home! Will love to use her again in the future.”

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.
“Nikki was amazing and we will definitely book with her in the future. After a bad kennel experience we weren’t sure we’d ever be able to leave our two fur babies. Nikki made our week away easy and stress free. Constant updates photos and videos. Thanks again Nikki!”

“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog, Oscar overnight. She went above and beyond our expectations. Oscar was happy, calm and comfortable after her care. Our house was neat, actually a bit neater than when we left it. I highly recommend her.”


“I cannot recommend Nate enough! He went absolutely above and beyond for Moreno and Blanca. He sent regular updates through texts and pictures. Not only did he take fantastic care of them, but he was also incredibly observant, he immediately reached out to let us know when they weren't eating properly and went out of his way to entice them with extra treats. You can tell he is genuinely concerned about their well being, and both dogs absolutely loved him. On top of being an amazing dog sitter, he was incredibly thoughtful and respectful of our home. He brought all our packages inside, took out the trash, started the dishwasher, and even stripped his bedsheets before leaving. It is so rare to find someone this reliable, communicative, and caring. Five stars!”

The only way to describe Danyel is AMAZING!! My sweet girl is 14 years old with some very serious health issues that require very specific care. Danyel had no issue handling things so we could go away and celebrate my son’s graduation. I am so grateful for not only her professionalism but also the love she gave our girl while we were gone. It enabled us to relax and enjoy our time away.

Anindita stayed with our dog for a week and did an excellent job. She communicated very well throughout the stay, kept us updated, and was thoughtful about bringing anything important to our attention. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog and home were in good hands. We came home to the house in good shape and really appreciated the care she gave throughout the week. Highly recommend her!

Heidi was amazing! My cat had been having some health issues which I'm in the middle of sorting out and she was attentive and paid attention to all the things. I was a little apprehensive about leaving him but he was definitely in good hands. I came home to a happy cat and clean house!

Absolutely fantastic; Barry went above and beyond to make sure our house and animals were all taken care of while we were gone. He was communicative, attentive to our dogs and cat and left our house better than we did when we left 🙂. Would 100% recommend Barry and will use him again if we need care.
