About: I’ve worked in the human health care even though I have always had a passion for animal care. I am now a stay at home mom so I’ll be home with your dog always unless I have an errand to run! I have owned multiple pets of my own for the last 14 years. My dad’s dog was blind and had diabetes (administering insulin) so I have experience in extra care for animals. I recently lost both my dogs due to cancer and seizures so I’d love to have some dog company. Also please know If your pup is good with kids, we have a 2 year old at home. I will use my passion for animals and integrity to care for your pet(s)! You can trust me with your fur babies.❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom so I’ll always be home with your pup/ dog unless I have to run a quick errand. I have many years in experience in handling big and small size dogs as well as all energy types. I also have a fenced in yard.

About: I've had dogs since the day I was born and they have always been the best part of my day, every day. I am experienced with caring for dogs of all sizes and just raised my first puppy so I have puppy experience as well. I treat every dog like they are my own and would love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry best friends.

I will come to your home for drop ins and walks and will follow your typical routine to make your pup as comfortable as possible.
“Jen is wonderful and has a great calm energy which is a good fit for my pupper. Honey is a little clingy with her humans but by the second walk she was confident with Jen and she got in a great walk. As I am not fully mobile at the moment, having someone to walk the pupper is essential and much appreciated!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20 years old. Friends have relied on me to do week long overnights with their pets and walk them each day! I love dogs and hope to work with your family soon! I'm currently a teacher looking to make some money and hang with my favorite animals! I love walking. My schedule will become more flexible in the next couple of weeks! I always listen to what the owners prefer. I make sure that they are on a leash when needed and treat the animals with respect and care.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and started fostering dogs when I was just 6 years old. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies who need extra attention and energy, as well as older dogs who may need a gentler approach. What sets me apart is that I don’t just see pet care as a job—I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important trust is, and I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Since I’m a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m able to fit pet care into my mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what works best for you and your pup. I love being active, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into my routine. On weekends, I usually have even more free time, which makes it perfect for longer walks or extra visits if needed. I always put safety first—leash walks, fresh water, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I make sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or just keeping a calm environment. Your pup’s happiness and trust are my top priorities!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young. I have owned dogs and cats and treat them as well if not better than my own children lol. I’ll be sure to treat yours the same and for those that say they’re just animals I say they are our babies. I currently work from home, minimal hours and have plenty of availability to check in, walk or whatever is needed for your pet care. I have experience giving meds and also with puppy training. I have a fenced in yard. I will folllow any instructions you have for your pets care and be mindful of there individual personalities and needs.
About: I have lived with, raised, and cared for multiple dogs at once for my entire life. I have grown up with retrievers, shibas, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and all manner of rescues. As a dog sitter, I have walked, played with, and done multi-day overnights with all kinds of canines, from timid greyhounds to rambunctious collies. I lead an active lifestyle and take my shiba for at least three 2-mile walks each day, plus weekend hikes and trips to the dog park. I am a freelance writer, so I have a very flexible schedule. The highlight of my day is walking my dog and, ideally, meeting new dogs along the way. I feel like Rover is the perfect way to spend time with dogs and help their time-pressed owners. I will follow any and all instructions left by the owners. I always keep dogs leashed, prevent them from eating foreign objects, and otherwise prioritize their safety at all times.

“Rich was incredible. Definitely helped me in a pinch with my dog Goomba! He was very responsive and loved all the pictures of my pup with him on their walk. Would certainly use him again in the future and highly recommend. For all kinds of dogs, sometimes can be tough finding your pet as much as you do but Rich certainly has a big affinity for dogs which makes you rest easy while he’s with your pup.”

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including dogs, cats, rabbit, gerbils, and more. I started volunteering when I was 12 at my local humane society, where I would sit with dogs to comfort them while they wait for their forever home. While I was in college I also started to foster, I fostered 3 cats and a dog over several months. Since I have always had pets, I have helped train puppies, and with senior animal medical care. I have also worked with special needs/trauma (ex. epileptic, male aggression, previous owners abuse, anxiety). I have house sat for my parents, extended family, and family friends.

About: Hi, I'm Ella! I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Rhode Island, and I genuinely believe pets are family. My background is in public service and childcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, patience, and creating a safe environment for the people (and pets!) who depend on me. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to adjust to their individual personality and needs. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I make communication a priority. I'll always provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels, and I'm comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household rules. When your pet is with me, they'll receive lots of attention, plenty of affection, and the same level of care I'd want for my own pet. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work full-time for the State of Rhode Island and work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I'm also currently pursuing my Master's degree online through the University of Rhode Island, which gives me additional flexibility throughout the week. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or extra playtime, I'm committed to providing dependable and personalized care. I take the safety and comfort of both pets and their homes very seriously. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to be respectful of the space, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and keep everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I also have experience working as a Property Manager for Universal Services LLC, which has given me experience with maintaining properties, keeping spaces safe and clean, and being trusted with other people’s homes and belongings. I understand the importance of being responsible, reliable, and respectful when someone is trusting you with their home. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while also giving you peace of mind that your home is in good hands while you’re away.
About: From childhood, my heart has held immense compassion and love for all furry friends!🤍🥹 I started out as a bather at a grooming facility at 14. This helped me realize the joy that I receive working with animals! I then took a program focusing on veterinary medicine, which sparked a new outlet for me to improve the lives of pets, and care for them in a different way🦋. I also worked for a veterinary emergency room in MA, where I worked alongside the amazing technicians, saving the lives of critical patients 🩺. I also worked for pet clinic at a nonprofit humane society, doing free vaccine clinics, taking in puppies & kittens that were left in harmful conditions, and giving them a chance at a beautiful and safe life with their forever family🩷. I also worked as a veterinary technician at a local animal hospital, seeing & providing veterinary care for all kinds of amazing creatures like guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, you name it!🐾 With a patience heart, and extensive experience with animals that require special attention due to medical conditions, behavioral challenges, and all their special little quirks that make them unique, you can ensure that with me, your pet is loved abundantly and in a safe environment! 🐕 🐓🐾🤍🐈⬛ 🦜 🐹 🩵 I’m currently pet sitting full time so my schedule is very open! I have a very flexible and broad schedule, with lots of time to care for your beloved pets!🩷🐾 As a diligent pet sitter, your instructions and regimens for your pet will be followed in order to mimic the amazing and unique care you give to your pet when you’re home! It can be overwhelming or difficult for your pet to acclimate to a new person in their environment. My approach is to make them feel like they are still safe, still loved, and still getting the same meals, treats, and exercise they get when you’re home. Feeding them at the same times, making sure they get those rewards when they do a great job, and any special instructions you provide will be followed with care.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Apponaug. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Every walker 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.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
