About: Although I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for pets. I've provided pet sitting and drop-in care for friends and friends of friends, giving me experience with dogs and cats of different personalities, routines, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Owning my own dog has taught me the value of patience, enrichment, positive interactions, and paying attention to each dog's individual personality and needs. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and what helps them feel comfortable and happy. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys getting outside for walks and adventures, and I love making sure dogs have the opportunity to explore, sniff, and enjoy their time outside at their own pace. Whether your dog loves a longer adventure walk, a game of fetch, or simply some extra companionship, I'll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. For cats and more relaxed pets, I'm just as happy spending quality time keeping them company, playing with their favorite toys, or providing a calm and comforting presence while you're away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like one of my own. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Since the school year has begun, my availability is more structured as I return to teaching. It is more focused on providing weekend support and occasional weekdays during the school breaks. I will continue to update my schedule and communicate clearly to make sure I can provide reliable care for the pets I commit to. I enjoy being able to provide pets with attention, exercise, and companionship when their families need an extra hand. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. Before each visit or walk, I will take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs or preferences. I believe every pet is different, and I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that some dogs may be nervous, shy, or need extra patience when experiencing new people, places, or situations. I will always take the time to build trust, pay attention to their body language, and adjust my approach based on what helps them feel safe and confident. For walks, I focus on creating a safe and enjoyable experience by paying attention to your dog's energy level, surroundings, and comfort. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic adventure or a slower walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore, I will follow their pace and needs. During drop-in visits, I will treat your home with the same respect I would want for my own. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet's routine consistent, and provide updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing they are happy and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both you and your pet—giving you peace of mind while your furry friend enjoys some extra love and attention.

About: I’m an animal-loving farm girl with a lifelong background working with animals of all kinds. I hold a bachelor’s degree and have hands-on experience caring for everything from cockatiels, chinchillas, and turtles to horses, cows, and a wide variety of dog breeds. I’ve owned and worked with many rescue animals, which has given me a deep appreciation for each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I believe in building trust, creating structure, and meeting every dog where they’re at — whether they’re high energy, sensitive, or just want to relax in good company. My experience as a veterinary technician in both small and large animal medicine allows me to confidently recognize when something isn’t right and respond appropriately, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Whether your dog needs exercise, a potty break, fresh water and snacks, or just some quality companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy caring for your animals. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. You'll receive updates, photos, and honest communication so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. My experience extends beyond cats and dogs, so I'm also comfortable providing care for other pets and farm animals during drop-in visits. No matter the species, every animal receives the same level of patience, respect, and compassionate care. I currently work another job Mon-Thurs until 4pm. I have limited availability for walks and drop-ins those evenings. I am available for more frequent and consistent walks and drop-in visits Friday, Saturday & Sunday. If you have questions about availability, please feel free to message me! Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and routine. During drop-in visits and walks, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication administration when needed, companionship, and gentle exercise appropriate for your pet's age, health, and energy level. Whether your pet prefers a leisurely walk, a little time outside, or simply some good company and reassurance while you're away, I strive to make each visit a positive and stress-free experience. Safety, communication, and reliability are extremely important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, monitor for any changes in behavior or well-being, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for in your absence.

“Isabel was wonderful with Daisy! She was very friendly, followed all of my instructions carefully, and took great care of her during their 30 minute walk. Daisy seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the communication as well. I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I have always loved animals. Any time a neighbor needed a pet sitter they would call me, and I was always excited to help. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for close friends and neighbors for years and I have had many animals of my own. I feel as though I am experienced and responsible for this kind of job and it would be so much fun for me. I am currently in school to pursue a career working full time with all kinds of animals and I feel that Rover would be a great stepping stone for myself. I have a Bichon-Shih Tzu named Max and I love him dearly so believe me when I say your pets will be dearly loved as well.

About: What really sets me apart is my extensive expertise at both ends of the pet spectrum. I expertly train and socialize energetic young puppies – housebreaking, basic commands, leash manners, and building confidence without stress. For senior pets I deliver compassionate, specialized care that keeps them comfortable and thriving, with gentle routines for arthritis, medication reminders (oral or as prescribed), soft exercise, and calm, loving environments that reduce anxiety for our golden oldies. I treat every animal exactly like my own – tailoring walks, play, meals, and snuggles to their unique needs. You’ll receive daily photo/video updates and detailed reports so you never worry. Pet parents in Warwick and Providence consistently tell me my patience, reliability, and extra touches (like extra play sessions or favorite toys) make all the difference. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, dog walk, or longer sit, your furry family gets personalized, experienced care from a true partner who loves what they do. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the perfect flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take extra walks, provide enrichment, and give each pet the one-on-one attention they deserve without ever feeling rushed. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, plus drop-ins or walks during those hours so your pets stay happy and on schedule every single day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment whether caring in my home or yours. For boarding in my home I provide a safe, secure space with supervised play and rest areas. I can crate if needed, supervise free time in secure spaces, and follow your exact feeding/walking routines. For walks or drop-ins in your home, I use your supplies, stick strictly to your schedule, keep everything clean and locked, and treat your space with total respect. I’m background-checked, Rover-insured, and always send real-time photo/video updates so you never worry.
About: Hi, I’m Lucy —a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog foster parent! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking, with a flexible summer schedule and year-round experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently a student at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, where I help care for pets belonging to students, professors, and even local farmers. I have hands-on experience with working dogs, giant breeds, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs needing extra TLC. I am CPR certified, attentive, and happy to accommodate any special needs or routines your dog has. Whether it’s medication, dietary needs, or just extra cuddles, I’ve got it covered! Let me know how I can support you and your furry friend — I would love to meet them! Having grown up with 4 dogs (along with many other pets over the years — including rabbits, rats, and cats), I’m accustomed to making pet care a natural and essential part of my daily routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime breaks, or evening feedings, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. It brings structure, joy, and a sense of purpose to my day — no matter how busy life gets, there’s always time for a wagging tail or a cuddle. My home has a large fenced-in backyard in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for playtime and fresh air. I love long walks, beach adventures, and giving each dog the personalized care they deserve.

I am a dog mom to a 15 year old beagle and 12 year old pittie mix both of who I adopted when they were 3 years and the other 9 months old. I walked and was also a house visitor for neighbors dogs all throughout middle school. Wherever I was there was a high possibility I was hanging out with someone’s dog. I work a Monday to Friday position but would love to spend my off hours from the office position doing house check ins and or walks for your pets. I would be able to do house check ins for bathroom breaks-feeding-loving attention-playtime as well as bringing them on walks. I am able to handle big or small & high or low energy pets.
About: Please be advised I am no longer accepting Pet Drop In or Walking visits M-F. But please message me anyway. About me: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty with just me and my elderly mother. I still love to have my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet in my home or your home. I also work from home M-F, so your pet will have me with them for a majority of the time I’m caring for them. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home or in your home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Audrey was responsive and wonderful with our dogs! She made a point of meeting the pups and learning about them before services began. Arrived on time every day and sent pictures of every walk. The pups are looking forward for our next vacation so they can see Audrey again.

Pheonix did an excellent job caring for Wyatt, who is a high-energy and strong American Bully. She provided thorough updates and photos, and made sure Wyatt was safe during a heat wave. She is friendly and professional. I would absolutely use her services again and recommend her to others. Thank you, Pheonix!

Calla has been amazing with my girl 🐾 Even though today was only her second walk, I already feel completely confident in her. She really took the time to get to know my dog’s personality and learn her specific walking routine. My girl can be a little particular..especially around small dogs, and Calla has been very mindful of that, making sure to keep her safe and comfortable while they’re out. That kind of attention and awareness means a lot. She’s reliable, communicative, and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog is already excited to see her, which says everything. I’ll absolutely be hiring her again; highly recommend!

Bella is a wonderful person, and she clearly cares about the animal in her care. She went above and beyond for Gunner while we were away, his comfort and peace of mind as priorities. While he did miss us in our absence, he looked for her the first morning after our trip and I’m sure he was asking where the nice lady was! ❤️🐾We’ll be re-booking in May! Thank you Bella!!🤗

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrea went above and beyond in every possible way. She came to my home and took incredible care of my dog Lorenzo—walking him, feeding him, giving him treats, playing with him, and making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She even cleaned his dog bowl without being asked, which speaks volumes about her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Andrea kept me completely at ease by sending pictures and videos. She is genuinely friendly, trustworthy, and an exceptionally kind person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and would absolutely book her again without hesitation.
