About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.

About: I live in Providence with my 12-year old rescue dog, Mowgli. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, with a deep appreciation for the patience, consistency, and attention each pet deserves. I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, including puppies and kittens, and senior dogs and cats, having had two senior cats myself who lived to the age of 22 years old. Im comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines, and my goal is always to make sure you feel confident that your pets are in good hands and that they’re getting the same level of care and attention you’d expect from someone you know and trust. I have open availability throughout the day to walk, play with. and care for your pet, including early mornings, midday, nights, and weekends as needed. My goal is to keep your pets steady in their routine and schedule, and make sure your home stays in the condition you left it and expect.

About: I’m a huge animal lover! I grew up with big dogs and I recently within the last few years adopted cats and fell completely in love. I have a strong connection to animals and good with their boundaries to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also been pet sitting since I was in high school. I’m a part time artist, (I paint pet portraits!) part time operational manager for another artist business which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I often have availability on a moments notice. I treat my cats like babies so you can expect me to do the same for your animals. If your pet needs me to sing them a little silly song while I make their dinner I will do it. I have a very calming presence animals tend to be drawn to. I respect their boundaries and allow them to feel safe with me before playing

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even the occasional Axlotl for as long as I can remember! Trusted by friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and strangers. Experience with: Dogs Young dogs Dogs with behavioral challenges Elderly dogs with medical needs Cats (The humble Axlotl) I work a few part time jobs, with some available daytime hours and some available nighttime hours. I always make sure to keep enough time for comprehensive pet care, meaning several walks a day, play, and leisure time together, but there are times when I must spend 6-10 hours out of the house. I have a beautiful, not-fully-enclosed yard that a leashed pet would love to spend time in. I keep a pet free home, but there are animals in my building. I do keep plants, not all of which are pet-safe, but I have a strict system for keeping them quarantined during animal care.

About: Woof! Meow! Don’t be off put by my headline - I am a big fan of both dogs and cats. I love walking dogs and am also available to housesit. I am a full-time writer and I do a lot of my work from home so I am pretty flexible during the week and on weekends! I am available for dog walking, drop ins, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am more than happy to stay at your home when needed while providing your pets with all the love and care they need! I have experience with all kinds of dogs and of all ages.

About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research, while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. I’m also available to provide pet care for weddings, birthdays, and other special or public events where your pet is part of the celebration! Whether you need help with supervision, transportation, or keeping your pet comfortable throughout the event, feel free to reach out to learn more about my services and availability. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my house, Growing up with large dogs; I'm comfortable with them and capable of handling them, though I love the little guys too! As your dog's caretaker, I'll be sure to get your best friend the exercise and care that they need and deserve, and am excited and willing to go the extra mile if it means I get to spend a little extra time with them. I offer low rates, but that doesn't mean that, I look forward to meeting, playing with, walking, and otherwise looking after your four-legged friend soon, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I am a stay at home dad with my 5 children, whom also love dogs. They as well have been blessed to be raised with big and small dogs. I offer all type of services, overnight, walks, check-ins. I am available all day. I have a large fenced in yard where they can run, play and burn out energy. I have a open availability and home with my pups at all time. I do not like to cage my pup so they mainly free roam the home and I set them up a place to sleep. I follow all instructions left for me if care is to be done in my pups home. When pups are in my home for the most part they free roam my home and I like to take them out for walks and runs.

“Nicole is awesome with dogs. Very friendly. My dog doesn’t trust people easy but with Nicole it was love at first sight. I would highly recommend Nicole.”

About: I’m 24 years old and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life! I grew up in a household with two dogs at a time, primarily larger breeds, including Huskies, Labrador Retrievers, and Akitas. Growing up with these breeds has given me a great understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and the importance of consistent training, exercise, and attention. I also have hands-on experience training my own Akita from puppyhood, which taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly dog sit for my aunt when she travels, looking after her cattle dog and Golden Retriever puppy. This includes maintaining their daily routines, feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, especially larger, energetic breeds, and understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I truly love animals and treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. My goal is always to make sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and safe while giving their owners peace of mind! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy! I'm a very active person who loves being outdoors, going on walks, and staying busy, so I'm always happy to have a four-legged companion join me. I'm comfortable adjusting my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your dog may have. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, and always do my best to maintain their normal routines. I am happy to communicate about availability and work with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will be my top priority! Having grown up with larger breeds, including Huskies and Akitas, I understand the importance of being attentive, responsible, and aware of each dog's individual behavior and needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to follow all instructions provided by their owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications if needed and instructed, and any household rules. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some dogs, so I always try to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I am especially mindful of keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, particularly with energetic or curious dogs. I also believe communication is incredibly important and am always happy to provide updates and pictures so owners know their pets are doing well. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!

“Christina was very reliable. She took many pics of Teddy on their walks. Teddy loves when she takes him on walks and gives him belly rubs. Will definitely being booking her again when we go on our next trip.”

About: I’ve had a family dog for the past ten years (a b+w cockatoo named Oreo) and now I am in grad school without him. I am a student so I have flexible hours to walk and spend time with your pets! I am a student so I have flexible weekday and weekend hours to take care of your pets. I am a runner, so I enjoy spending time outside and navigating to nearby places. I am careful to keep my clients pet and home safe and secure. I understand that trust is a high priority in our working relationship.

“Samantha was punctual and thorough at our meet and greet and was able to work with my very excitable but friendly dog. She provided updates as the walks were taking place and sent videos of my pup. Will definitely be calling on her again!”
