“Mackenzie took care of our cats multiple times. She was reliable, on time and carried all tasks and paid attention to the detailed instructions for each of our cats carefully. Sent detailed notes after every visit along with pictures. I would highly recommend her services. It is clear that she loves what she does!”
“This was my first time using Rover and was blown away by Crystal. The daily messages and pictures were everything to me, and she even left me a couple of framed pictures of my cats which were a delightful surprise. Crystal is wonderful, and I look forward to utilizing her again in the future!”
“Lindsey was great! She was always right on time with checking in and very responsive. I got lots of photos which I loved and she was awesome with letting me know everything was good while we were away. She was easy to work with especially when our plans changed last minute. Most importantly we came home to a happy cat!! Thank you again!”
About: I've had cats since I was born, and have had dog(s) since I was 8. I also worked as a professional dog walker in Boston after college for a while, working with all sorts of breeds and energy levels from a 8lb chihuahua mixes to big old labs. Currently, I have two rambunctious Australian Shepherds (5 and 6 years old) and a 10-year old tortie cat who rules the roost. Former high school teacher looking for a (slightly) less chaotic life, but needless to say, I'm used to wrangling all sorts of creatures and keeping track of everybody! Currently figuring out next steps, so I am available for a variety of times/options and very flexible. As someone with finicky pets myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to have someone else caring for your pet and inside your home with them. I treat other people's pets the same way I would treat my own, with special care to any instructions left for them and making sure the pets are safe, calm, and happy. I'm happy to provide any photos of the visit as I know I rely on them myself when I have had pet sitters!
“Nicole was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my animals were taken care of. She took time to know my animals and send lots of pictures while I was away! I highly recommend Nicole if you want quality care for your pets.”
About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. I know the care that is required to keep them happy and healthy. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter. I’m currently a student at Johnson & Wales University and have classes from morning to early afternoon. I also work part-time at a coffee bar in Narragansett on Fridays and Saturdays in the morning. So I afternoon-evenings free all week. I have always had dogs and cats growing up and know what it means to properly take care of them. I also have volunteered at a dog shelter.
About: Hii! I volunteered at shelters but I preferred building a relationship with pets in Rhode Island :) I grew up around many dogs and cats. A fun challenge was when we adopted our German Shepherd puppy! Training him was a fun challenge, but it was harder (yet more rewarding) when we adopted his brother as well! Now they’re grown and trained but I can still see the little puppy they are in their eyes! I also have a senior dog that needs extra care, but I love making sure she’s comfy and gets her massages. I work a hybrid 9-5, so I can make time mornings and evenings for pet care. On my work from home days I am more flexible to do care during the day. Weekends are fully available! In your home I would make sure pets are in their designated areas and can’t escape! Cleanliness is the largest thing I would keep in mind while making sure your pet is comfortable!
About: I have three cats and one older dog. I offer care to older dogs who need meds and low energy care. I can provide short walks and a gentle presence while making sure your pet gets everything they need in your absence. I’m currently only working per diem and have lots of time during the day to dedicate to caring for your pets and making sure they aren’t alone. I will follow any procedures you have in your home for your pets safety. I know your pet is your world and I wouldn’t risk anything happening to them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from about 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, family; I’ve been trusted to care for their furry family members for a while. Having my own dog and being surrounded by many furry friends, I have much experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule that varies throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate owners’ needs whenever possible. I prioritize communication and reliability, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I will follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Super reliable and responsive. Goes above and beyond what’s expected during visits and spent extra time with my pet. She leaves very detailed report cards and lots of adorable photos. Follows instructions very well, will definitely book again”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have always had a dog in my life in some capacity. I am very comfortable and very used to caring for the needs of a small dog. If you are looking for somebody who will create a unique care plan catered to your fur baby’s unique needs, look no further! I will be here to feed, water, bathe, play with, walk, and whatever else you may need your ideal pet sitter to do. I am comfortable with dogs 35 pounds and under. If you are ready to find the perfect caretaker for your sweet baby, reach out to me, and I look forward to meeting your pup! I am currently a stay at home mom with accessible childcare, which makes my schedule flexible and perfect to accommodate your needs. I am available all days except Wednesdays and Sundays. Allowing someone into your home to care for your fur babies requires a strong foundation of trust. Understanding this, I will sit down with you to create the perfect checklist of things you will need me to do for you. My goal is to help not only you but your kitty or pup to trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect, following any rules and boundaries you may have, while making sure to care for your pet the way a family member would. This includes gaining their trust to play at their pace, making sure their bowls are clean for the fresh food and water, cleaning up any messes they may have made including getting into the trash or using the bathroom in or out of the litter box, or giving your pup a bath at your request.
About: Hi! I’m Shadya. I have experience caring for pets through pet sitting and from having pets of my own.

I also understand that every pet has their own personality, so I’m patient and always make sure they get the care and attention they need.
“Tammy deserves 10 stars, not 5. She goes absolutely above and beyond, staying in constant contact with photos. She clearly loves animals and will do everything she can to make sure her pets' parents feel comfortable while they are gone. Thank you so much Tammy!!”
“Jaylynn was professional, always on time, and my dogs absolutely loved her! This was the first time I ever used this site and was very apprehensive. All my worries went away! She was attentive with the needs of my dogs and I loved her daily reports! I definitely recommend her and will be asking for her again!”

I am open to any breeds, and just ask that you be honest with your dogs comfortably level with new people for all safety. I will provide the absolute best care possible for your loved ones, and they will make my day better too! :) I have had dogs my whole life and fell in love with cats the past 6 years since getting my Ringo. I fostered cats in college and am regularly around my family’s dogs, my bfs, and friends. And always willing to give some good scratches when they are willing. I would love to host your pets and treat them as my own for whatever time being! I am always sure to be in eye sight of the pet to provide the highest safety for them possible, and disrupt any trouble that could become. I like to see dogs play and know they have my attention.

Just got back today after Trey was looking after my cat for 3 days. Everything worked out swimmingly! I received daily check-in reports, the kitty seemed to accept him, and the more, ahem, sanitary chores were seen to. No doubt I'll use Trey's services again when I'm out of town.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care 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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
