“Having Elizabeth as our drop in cat sitter gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. She was amazing, sending tons of updates and pictures each day. She was reliable, followed through on exactly what our cats needed and very sweet to them. We highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a quality and worry free experience!”
About: Hello, Nadine here. Looking forward to helping you and your pets needs. I am comfortable with all size dogs and look forward to meeting you soon. I am a dog mom, a full-time banker, and in my free time I enjoy long walks and everything and anything to do in nature. I am a proud owner of a miniature schnauzer, who is 15 years old. I am open to long walks, short walks. I understand work, life balance, and the stress of not getting home to our fur babies.
“Alexandria is wonderful. I totally recommend her. She accepted my request last minute and was patient with me as a new user to Rover. Our dog Hattie took to her right away. I immediately felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Our dog can be stubborn and difficult in some situations but Alexandria handled her with confidence and lots of kindness and love!”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for friends and family for over seven years. I am reliable, trustworthy, and passionate about animals. In high school I volunteered as a dog walker at the RISPCA for a few years and also socialized the cats. I also have a dog of my own that happens to be reactive on the leash, so I am aware of and know how to handle most situations while walking. I am also highly observant and understand animal behavior, which are characteristics that are important for this type of job. I am currently looking for a job for the fall/winter seasons, as I work at an ice cream shop from March to October. This means that I have wide open availability everyday for walks and check ins and I am also ready to do overnight pet sitting. When I am caring for your pet while you are away, I will do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their space while also providing plenty of walks and play time. I am highly detail oriented and organized, so I will make sure that I stick to their schedules and that their space stays clean.
“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: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. I got to take care of my sister’s yellow lab Lily since she was a puppy and I’ve been hooked ever since. My family has two fur babies of our own. Amora is our lovable, energetic adopted pup from Houston, Texas. Caju is our furry, cuddling cat who my wife adopted in Maine when she was in college. I have a large yard, house set up for pets to be comfortable, and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I’ve been in corporate America at large technology companies for the last decade as a senior leader in recruiting. I’m currently taking a career break and want to do more of the things I love doing. One of those things is being around animals. I have a flexibile schedule outside a few normal commitments for my daughter. Send over a request and we can figure out details! I live in an old farmhouse from 1860 with a fenced in acre lot for outdoor fun. I’m happy to babysit at our house, your residence, or just take them a walk. I love our fur babies as part of my family and would treat yours the same.
“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.”
About: I have taken care of small to medium size dogs since the age of 7. Genuinely have the heart to help others and believe kindness should always be at the forefront. I currently live in Rhode Island with a work schedule that allows having MON/TUE off. I am very flexible and would appreciate any opportunity given. I am interested in 'House Sitting', 'Drop-In Visits', as well as 'Dog Walking'. Since I do work and live alone I realize that it would be unfair to own a dog of my own presently, and feel that partnering with Rover would be a great opportunity.
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for 20 years, from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing feeding schedules, and handling dogs of all sizes (I currently accept 16-100+ lbs). I understand that your pet is family, and I provide the same attentive, loving care I'd want for my own animals. You'll receive photo updates throughout the day so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-in visits, including last-minute requests. As a new sitter building my client base, I'm offering special introductory rates for early clients. I'm available throughout Warren and surrounding areas for daily dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting during weekdays, weekends, holidays, and vacations. For house sitting, I stay at your home to maintain your pet's familiar routine and environment. I follow your specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I keep your home secure by bringing in mail, alternating lights, and watering plants as needed. For dog walking, I use secure leashes and harnesses, and I'm mindful of your dog's comfort level around other animals and people. Safety is always my top priority—I stay alert to surroundings and weather conditions during every walk.
“Carla was kind, responsive, and reliable. She left notes on Rover with every visit and very cute pictures of my pets. Even though the weather was frozen, she was there for their care as scheduled and even helped to clear my deck of snow and ice. I was very worried at first leaving my pets but I felt assured they were in the best possible hands. If I ever had a question, she responded promptly. I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services.”
About: I’ve had my puppy Candie for the past 13 years and have loved taking care of her and raising her. She is currently back home with my parents though. I have a genuine love for dogs and want to be a home away from home for them. My own dog is my fur baby so I completely understand the high level of care and love that has to go into caring of each dog. I currently am a law student so I will have plenty of time to look after, play with, and walk your dogs during my breaks in between class, after class, and on the weekends. I live right next to a dog park so while I live in an apartment and do not have a fenced in yard, I do have options of ways to help dogs get some fresh air, playtime , and a helpful way to get their energy out. I live in a very safe neighborhood as well.
“Crystal was consistent in sending pictures and updates for my cat. While wet only met briefly beforehand, she Crystal was always professional and kind, even spending a bit of extra time to ensure my cat wasn’t feeling anxious.”
“Sara was on time and super responsive to our texts. She was also very patient with our shy dog - so much so that by the end of their visit they were able to go on a real walk around the neighborhood! I would definitely choose Sara again!!”
“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.”

Barrington pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
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!
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
