About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I love all pets and have experience with cats and dogs. I treat them like members of the family and am very attentive. I’m the person at a party that will ignore the people if pets are around. I have a very flexible schedule currently so I can be of help whenever needed. I am available weekends and weekdays. Available all day also I am very passionate about animal safety. I am aware of every precaution necessary and safety is my number one concern. I am very trustworthy and am always thinking about your pets’ needs first.
About: I was born with a lab and a golden retriever, and have since lived with another golden, and two German shepherds, as well as two cats. I have helped train the shepherds from puppies and know how to handle large dogs in situations and walks. I now administer elder care and medication for my cat. I am not starting school until the end of August - from August 1-25th I am free for day of visits and multiple visits a day. I will change my schedule once the semester begins. I can easily crate dogs/cats, and take them for drives in my car to go on walks, to parks, or to get treats, or for any emergency necessary vet visits. I’m happy to bathe the animal if it gets dirty, or put on any necessary pet clothing (shoes, sweaters, etc). I am willing to wipe down paws and other parts before returning inside if the owner prefers.
About: I’ve had my own black lab for the past 11 years, which sparked my love for dogs. Over the past year, I’ve also provided pet care for families in my neighborhood and am now looking to expand and help even more pet owners I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, typically from 4 PM to 8 PM, 2-3 days a week. I’m also a full-time college student at Roger Williams University with classes 3-4 days a week but want to give most of my job focus towards rover during the school year. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I stick to their regular routines as closely as possible—this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I always keep communication open with the owner to provide updates and peace of mind. I don’t typically take my dog for a walk since we have a huge backyard that he can roam around in, but dog walks is something I would really like to explore more in and would love to do.
“We were in RI to attend a wedding. We are so happy that we met Niki through Rover to take care of our puppy loki. I am so happy that we met Niki. She took amazing care of Loki she was loving and caring, Loki was very happy to be with Niki.”
“Could not have asked for a better person to help with my Sophie while I was away! Ariel is simply amazing! She even worked with my family to help them with interacting with Sophie! Sent me pictures! Traveled out of her way to go to my mothers house. There are not enough good things to say about Ariel!! Book her! Your dog will be in great hands!! Thank you again!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since we got our pups Buffy and Willow when I was 10 years old. They were a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, so cute! Since then I have owed 3 Guinea pigs (Cairo, Jupiter and Poppy) and a cat (Meshka). I'm thankful that I have a low-maintenance pet like Meshka because I work full time at my 9-5. I do have cameras in my house so I can keep an eye on Meshka thought-out the day. I remember when I got him as a 2 month old I would always go home during my lunch breaks to check up on him for the first 6 months that I had him. When I leave for work I make sure not to leave anything hazardous out. I usually keep the bathroom and kitchen doors closed so Meshka doesn't get into those rooms while I'm away
About: Geof is a recently retired professional, dedicated and responsible pet owner with over 30 years experience taking care of family pets (from puppies to senior dogs). He is reliable, kind, and punctual. He worked his way through college as the weekend manager of the Robert Potter League for Animals in Middletown Rhode Island. Since retiring he pet sits regularly for his children. As a recently-retired professional I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I own a home with a large fenced in yard, which is wonderful for playing and exploring. I reside in a very walkable/dog-friendly neighborhood. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 1:00 PM. I am open to walking pets and daily drop-ins as well. I have a large enclosed yard and occasionally pet sit for my children's dogs. Their dogs (Forgie and Greta) are friendly and comfortable being around other dogs. My house is clean, quiet, and peaceful. Southern exposure provides sunlit, cozy spaces for your dogs to enjoy. I have mini-split AC to keep your pup cool on hot summer days.
“Jillian quickly responded to my request and scheduled a meet and greet for the next day. She took care of our elderly guy and gave him his insulin injection with no problem. She even sent a pic of him to us. We definitely plan on hiring Jillian again!”
“The pets really enjoy his visits! My formerly feral month old kitten has really taken to him! My dog loves all the belly rubs! He's always prompt, communicative, and gets the routine down pat.”
“Isabella was wonderful with Maggie our 13.5 year old Labrador Retriever. She took pictures, left us notes about her visit with Maggie. We appreciated her kind and thoughtful manner. ?”
About: Hey there all! My name is Mariah! I have many years of experience caring for fur babies! I am a lifelong animal lover and proud dog parent to Winnie! We only have one dog (sweet Winnie). No other pets are in the home. I know how much pets mean to us, and I treat every furry friend like my own. Reliable, caring, and ready for walks, snuggles, and play! I’m usually at home and have a sweet 4-year-old daughter who’s very gentle and caring with pets. My husband works full time, but he’s a big animal lover too and always enjoys having dogs around. Dog sitting brings us so much joy—it keeps us happy, active, and surrounded by love. Every dog that stays with us gets treated like part of the family! I have a fenced in yard and other necessities are available if your pet needs anything. Your pet is top priority and will be loved!
About: As a dog owner for 15 years, I have always loved being around any and all animals. Happy to help reinforce training on walks or at home visits. I have pet sit before for multiple animals at a time, and can be flexible based on your needs! Truly just happy to spend time with your pet and help them. Looking forward to working together! I currently work full-time, however I work from home some days. Since I am home more than anticipated, I am looking to fill that time with furry friends. Though I do work full-time, I am flexible in the early mornings and evenings, and can be available on weekends. I grew up around animals, and helped my family take care of our Jack Russell Terrier as he grew to 15 years old. This involved carrying him up and down stairs, and occasionally providing medication. I currently have a dog of my own, an almost 2 year old Jack Russell mix, so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and am eager to provide physical and mental stimulation to help make your dog happy!
“Lindsey was amazing with my senior dog. She did two drop-ins in one day and was always on time and communicated before arriving and after she left. She sent pictures of my dog and did a great job! Would definitely hire her again!!”

He watches my dog every Tuesday, picking her up and taking her to his house, where she’s treated like royalty.

I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such capable hands. Whether you’re looking for someone to take your dog on a walk or care for them during a weekend stay, Geof is the absolute best choice. Highly recommend!”

Bristol pet parents share their Rover experiences
I was worried about booking through Rover but am so glad I did! She accommodated my last minute booking when the family friend sitter fell through. Sarah did a great job with my very high maintenance dog. She sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time. My dog needed a special anal gland treat because of her health issues and Sarah was patient and kind giving it to her. Unfortunately, my dog has accidents often but Sarah was understanding and cleaned it up. I seriously think my floor is cleaner now than it was before.
Lauren was so friendly and sweet. She came over the day before for a meet and greet and our dogs took to her very easily. Lauren was very respectful and responsible and took great care of our dogs both times she can’t to our home. I would highly recommend Lauren!
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!
