“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”

“Tara provided a great experience for Penny when she boarded. She was very attentive, kept her current on her medications and sent along pictures to keep her mom satisfied she was in good hands!”

“Absolutely fantastic experience. We needed a last minute sitter and they were responsive and accommodating. Our doc is skittish but they seemed to make him a part of their family while he was with them. And their dogs are so friendly and cute to pets and people alike. Janay and Antonio will be our fort choice pet sitting from now on!”

“We are so lucky to have found Geof! He sent wonderful updates and took such care of our doggie. Geof wanted to know about our doggie to make sure it was the best experience for her, and it was! She was so, so happy. His beautiful house has the best backyard for doggies to enjoy their time outside.”

“I am so grateful for Isabel's care of Oliver! Oliver was in good hands with her. Isabel helped take care of Oliver during a difficult time of my life. I feel incredibly blessed to have had a petsitter like her and did not need to worry about Oliver during my sickness. She was very responsive and great to work with. Oliver always comes back happy and healthy.”

“Mariah is an amazing dog sitter. She sent pics of Bernie relaxing and playing and sent them throughout the week he stayed with her. I was completely relaxed knowing he was in such great care. Thanks again Mariah!”

“They were absolutely fantastic! They were very accommodating with meet-up, drop-off, and pick-up times (even when flight delays compounded) and gave routine updates throughout the week.”

“Paige took very good care of Lulu, and I'm so happy I found her to board my puppy! Lulu is very comfortable with Paige and her family, and they treat her very well.”

“Flexible drop off and pick up time, her home is perfect for dog sitting. My pup came home very enthusiastic and slept very well. He also enjoyed the interaction with other well behaved dogs. I'm happy to find a dependable sitter nearby for future needs.”

“Addison took great care of our Lucy while we were on vacation. She was great with communicating and sending pictures of Lucy having fun with the other pups, we're very happy to have her watch Lucy in the future!”


“I had a last minute emergency and Erica came through for us. Very kind and loving family. It is obvious how much affection they have for animals. Daisy did great and I never worried about her for a moment. It was a good experience for us.”

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!
“Jean was a wonderful sitter for Piglet!! Lots of pictures and messages. Everything went extremely well, except for a glitch with his food (my fault!) but she handled it with aplomb and creativity and all was well!! She is going to be my go to sitter from now on!!”

“Natalia and her husband provided excellent care for Gigi! They were so kind, and provided lots of updates and pictures, which we loved! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Gigi stay with them again (and Archie, of course!!). Thank you so much!! Look forward to seeing you again 🙂”

“I felt very confident that Sassy would be well taken care of at Nadias and she was. I will definitely use her again in the future. She was very communicative sent pictures. Best of all I think Sassy had a ball. She enjoyed playing w/Nadia's 2 dogs. And she loved having Nadia's kids to play with also. She has a big beautiful back yard for the dogs to play in. I highly recommend Nadia.”


“Mary is great! Both of our girls love going to her house. She also is very caring of the animals she takes care of. If something is wrong she is awesome at communicating. We have already booked with Mary two different times. She is definitely someone I would recommend and someone we will be using again! Thank you so much Mary!”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”

Mariah and her family took such good care of our goldendoodle & constantly kept us updated while we were away with pictures. She treated Lola like her own family which I truly appreciate. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone who will take excellent care of your pup while you’re away!!
