“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!”
“We were able to book Evan on short notice to spend time with our two cats when we had a sudden out-of-state schedule issue. Evan kept in contact with us and was respectful of our home. Our cats were happy and healthy when we got home, I can tell they were well taken care of and liked having Evan around. Thank you!”
“Steph is a great cat sitter! Provided full updates for the two-visits per day. Even saw to some extra things above and beyond the call of duty. (Food bowls rinsed and trash taken out). No need to look any further for someone to provide the care and attention to your furry friend(s)!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and even bears. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, and also have volunteered at an animal shelter and a wildlife refuge, so I’m comfortable with all types of animals and their needs. I’m reliable, calm, and know how to handle both routine care and the occasional emergency. I’m going into my junior year at Roger Williams University majoring in criminal justice and psychology. I am currently living off campus for the semester with a very flexible schedule, which gives me time to dedicate to pet care. Pet care has always been a big part of my life, and I prioritize it in my daily routine. I live on 10 acres of open land, giving my cats and chickens lots of space for time outside. I'm reliable and always follow care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Wonderful pet-sitting experience! Our dog was well cared for, and the sitter was prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Madison and Joe were great care givers to our cat. They made sure he had an ample supply of food and water. Simon had a wonderful time playing and enjoying the fresh air outside. He’s very lovable and enjoyed their company while we were away.”
“Lydia is incredible, attentive, super communicative, and goes above and beyond for the animals in her care. We think our boy Potato was depressed to come home with us because he'd rather be spending more time with her! She clearly goes above and beyond to provide a lovely, safe, and comforting environment as a pet boarder, and she'll be our first choice to rebook for any future dates.”
“Amber is the best! She took care of our 3 cats while we were gone. She sent us pictures and updates every day. We will definitely ask her to watch our pets for us again next time we’re away. Thank you!”
“Lexi was terrific. She texted us photos and videos of Buddy and you can certainly tell that Buddy was in good hands! We came home to find the house in great shape and just as we left it. We would be happy to book Lexi again when the time comes and if she's available!”
“We’ll miss Kayla and wish her the best on her new life adventure! My kitty and I instantly gravitated toward her - it was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cares about animals. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my kitty was well cared for while I was away. I felt very comfortable being away knowing Kayla was with my baby. I wish we could keep her here in Smithfield!”
“Isabel took great care of Oliver. I am so thankful she drove all the way to help pick him up when I was sick and not able to care for him. I didn't have to worry about him when he was in her hands, and he seemed to get along well with her family and have a great time. Very communicative and excellent petsitter.”
About: I’ve pet sit for a lot of my friends, both dogs and cats. I also have experience with rabbits. I really enjoy being around animals, and do my best to provide the care they deserve where I can. My timing for the most part is pretty flexible at the moment, so I can move things around on my calendar for scheduling walks or check-ins I follow instructions given, and spend time with them. I am also available for walks, so they can get some fresh air and exercise if needed as well.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’ve had dogs of my own and understand that they aren’t “just pets” — they’re family. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and absolutely the person who talks to animals like they understand every word I’m saying. 😂 I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, meals, playtime, medications, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality, quirks, likes and dislikes, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable. I’m also a mom, homeowner, and working professional, so I understand the importance of being responsible, respectful and trustworthy — especially when someone is trusting me with both their pet and their home. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and weekend house sitting. When your pet is with me, you can expect regular communication and plenty of pictures and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to actually see that they’re happy and doing well. My goal is simple: for you to be able to leave knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and in good hands. 🐾❤️. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care after work on weekday evenings after 3:30 and have open availability on weekends. Weekends are perfect for house sitting, longer visits, walks, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I provide care in your home, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, gates, leashes, and any special needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to give my own, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away
About: Puppy knowledgeable and enjoy training. Love walks, reliable, friendly. I've taken care of family and friend's animals. I'm semi retired and have availability. I work a couple of days a week so I have plenty of time to interact with your doggies. I can be available on short notice I do not have a fenced yard so I will always use a leash for walks or potty breaks. Your animals will always be supervised
About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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