“Elizabeth is awesome! She watches our dog and cat while we are away, which can range from one night away to an entire week. She works her magic and makes sure our shy dog takes his meds and eats his meals regularly. Her updates are entertaining and keep us well informed. With her help, we are able to travel knowing our pets are well cared for.”
“Cristina was fantastic! My dog was instantly drawn to her, she’s friendly and extremely professional. She was very responsive and sent pictures. I would request Cristina again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hello! My name is Rachel! I’m 26 years old and currently live with my fiancé Connor and our three-year old cat, Finn in Barrington, RI. I have owned dogs my entire life and have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets when they needed it. Animals are my greatest passion so I’m very excited to see what opportunities Rover brings! I have a lot of experience dog walking and dog sitting on Rover when I was in college in New York City. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m available early morning and late afternoon / evening and weekends for dog walking and boarding. My work schedule is flexible and I can usually stop at home on lunch to check in. We have a friendly cat to keep your pet company and plenty of space for your pup to run around outside and in! We also live close to a dog park and the beach. We frequent the East Bay Bike Path often for walks and bike rides which we’d love your pet to join us on!

“Even was a good and communicator, and arrived at the appointed time to meet our dog Goose. He was courteous and solicitous of out dog’s habits. We look forward to working with him.”
“Second time utilizing Crystal’s services and she totally rocks. Definitely put my mind at ease that my cats were in good hands while I was traveling and greatly appreciated the daily updates and pictures!”
About: I have a profound love for cats and dogs, stemming from my 17-year companionship with my beloved Canela (Cinnamon), who recently passed away. As a passionate pet enthusiast, I've extended my care to the Barrington community, engaging in dog sitting for over three years. My commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for furry friends is unwavering. With a deep understanding of their needs, I ensure each pet under my care receives personalized attention, affection, and the utmost comfort. Having navigated the joys and challenges of pet ownership, I bring a wealth of experience to every pet sitting opportunity. Your beloved companions are not just animals to me; they are cherished members of the family deserving of the best care possible. Count on me to go above and beyond to make your pets feel at ease, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both them and you. I am very flexible with timing. I can sit dogs every day of the week. I’m available 24/7/365 and send regular updates to pet parents. I live on a boarding school so I can take the dogs for a walk around campus and my home is very safe for dogs and cats.
“Rayna was amazing! She took such good care of our dog! She provided photos and comments throughout the day which put my mind at ease. She even did a meet and greet with our dog before the booking. I will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She did 3 drops in visits for us with Harley last week and it was the best experience. Harley can be very timid and scared and Julia even came by our house the day before to meet him while we were home and Harley took to her right away, it made me feel so good about my decision. I travel for work and we will definitely be using Julia everytime going forward as long as she is available. Every update included photos and in each photo harley looked happy and comfortable it made me feel so good to know he was being taken care of while I was away and my husband was at work. Thanks for everything you do for Harley! He cant wait to see you again!”
About: I've been responsible for taking care of pets ever since I can remember- cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. However, for the past few years I've been traveling a lot and so do not have any pets currently. Throughout the years, I've been a Vet Tech and adopted and fostered puppies through hospice dogs and several cats, and have had extremely friendly and reactive dogs. I'm willing to meet your pet where they are. I work from home and really enjoy my area of the world, so I tend to be a homebody during the week. I go for daily beach walks and enjoy swimming when it's warm enough. My neighborhood is great for walking, too. I love to get out and hike or explore on the weekends, but am also happy with projects around the house. High energy pups and couch potatoes are both welcome. I have a 4 foot fenced in yard and plenty of couch space. It's important to do what I can to help your pet be comfortable in a new environment, so I try to keep to their schedule as much as possible. I do have a large crate and room for you to bring your own if that works better. The ticks are out in force so please make sure your dog is on preventive. I cannot accept dogs with bite history or food/toy aggression.
“Mikey was a great choice to watch our boy, Radar. They were able to watch him last minute, which we were so thankful for. Mikey was on time and communicated well regarding meals, playtimes and potty breaks, not to mention they were super kind. They even cleaned up a mess one of our cats had made even though they weren’t part of the gig. We recommend Mikey to anyone looking for pet sitting.”
“Britney was absolutely the best person for my little guy. I am super picky just because he is hyper and can be a lot. Britney went out of her way to make sure he was well taken care of and sent me a lot of pictures which I absolutely loved and needed. 100% reccomend and will be using again in the future. Thank you so much.”
About: Hello! My name is Noelle. I have been a veterinary technician for 8 years now, but have worked with animals my entire life. I am comfortable around all types of animals and can administer medications and treatments if necessary. I have four cats of my own and love meeting new furry friends :) I do work full time as a veterinary technician …But am able to make time to care for your pets! I have a reliable mode of transportation and am willing to drive a bit as well. My four cats have a room purely for all their toys and cat towers, they are extremely spoiled. I even have a large basket dedicated to their toys.
About: I have a dog of my own at home and also lived with a dog in my college apartment! I have no issues playing with energetic dogs or hanging out and chilling too! I have worked extensively with my friend who is in vet school with her cats and her foster dogs and feel comfortable in many situations. I will spoil your babies rotten!! I attend RWU Law School during the week but have light days Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and can come to relieve pets or hang out for a little! I have plenty of homework to do and can do that while snuggling with your pet! I am free most weekends as well. I work very hard to create a good relationship with the family of the dog as well as the dog themselves. Everything is up to the family and whatever they are comfortable with. I am comfortable with staying over, bringing the dog out for walks or a drive or coming over to feed the dog and give them lots of love!
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Jean for drop in visits with our chihuahua for the past few months. So happy to have found her. These little dogs aren’t that easy but we feel very assured he is in good hands. Jean helps me navigate the rover app, is reliable and gets back to me promptly.”
“She was amazing and very communicative and my cat Nugget loved her especially when she picked him up and hug him he loved it, she did everything I asked I’ll definitely be calling her again for Nugget.”
“Janice was great-she communicated really well on how Brady was doing. Janice is a very nice person and a very responsible person. I felt very comfortable with Janice taking care of Brady.”

Though I’ve been a cat owner for over 13 years, with a new kitten in the house, I decided to look for a cat-sitter for the first time. I couldn’t have asked for a better one than Crystal. She is personable, communicative and clearly loves cats. Most importantly, she spent a lot of quality time with my cat, Winnie. I appreciated the thorough updates and pictures along the way. Would happily recommend Crystal to cat owners in the area.
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.
Audrey was wonderful with our dog! She helped us with drop-in visits and an overnight stay. Audrey was communicative, flexible, and our dog clearly felt very comfortable with her based on the meet and greet and photos we received while away. We will definitely reach out to Audrey again in the future!
Haley was absolutely incredible. I’ve used Rover many times, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and attentive. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines and quirks, and it was clear she genuinely cared about getting everything right. Throughout the stay, she sent consistent updates with pictures and little notes that showed she was paying real attention. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease with her, which says everything. When I got home, my place was spotless, my dog was calm and content, and it was like I’d never left. Haley went above and beyond in every way. she treated my dog like her own, kept everything perfectly organized, and made the whole process effortless. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your sitter, don’t think twice. She’s exceptional.
Amber was great! She suggested a meet n’ greet (why isn’t there a Rover term like Fur-st Impression or Wag n’ Sniff?!) right off the bat, which showed me that she is a professional. She was well organized and right on time for all drop ins. I loved the updates, so much so that I was disappointed when a family friend took over her care and the updates stopped! Amber is definitely a professional. She clarified a question she had about feedings and was a very positive person in general. Would definitely rebook.
Kelly is great with my cats. They were COVID kittens, so they weren’t as socialized as well as I would’ve liked as kittens and one can be particularly shy, but Kelly managed to charm him out of his shell in just a day. Now, with repeat bookings, they both come out for love and belly rubs
