“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”


About: I have lots of animals myself. 3 dogs, 4 outdoor rabbits and 3 guinea pigs.On the weekends I drag my family to go see puppies. I prefer dogs over most people. They make my heart happy. I’ve always had animals. My dream job is to have an animal sanctuary. I would love to help you with your babies! I currently work as a hairstylist. However I’m a mother of two and it’s getting quite challenging to work as far as I do with my life being more in this direction. My dream job is to have an animal sanctuary of my own so I don’t have to turn away any animal and can save them all. On the weekends I drag my family to see puppies. I would love to be able to cut down my full time job and get become more involved with pet walking/sitting. It will be good for the soul. I have lots of animals at home and small children so I probably wouldn’t watch anyone in my house right off the bat. But in their house I would love to cuddle, give treats, walk play and give all the love they need as if they were my own.

“Callie did an amazing job with her daily check-ins of my two kittens! Callie’s communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Callie did everything well, but most notably she was able to quickly adapt and think on her feet when some quirky things happened with my door locks, which was absolutely no fault of her own. She handled that situation expertly and I felt very safe knowing she had everything under control! Anyone should feel very comfortable leaving their pets and/or home under Callie’s care!”


About: I have 28 years of experience taking care of pets and many more taking care of my own family pets. My first job at 13 was at a kennel. I can administer all types of medications, I've had sick and elderly pets that needed shots, fluids and pills. I also was a wildlife rehabilitator and have experience with bottle feeding and wound care. I am skilled with senior pets, exotics and livestock. I live in Lunenburg MA with my husband surrounded by a variety of different pets from dogs and cats to reptiles to parrots to livestock. I am comfortable around any size pet and with aggressive moody pets. I'm currently working full time Monday -Friday but am available weekends all day and mornings/ afternoons during the week for drop ins. I cannot do overnight stays or boarding. I will do whatever to mimic how you care for your own pets in your home. Any schedule or routine you do I will follow. I will allow dogs outside at your own home off leash, but if you would like walks/ hiking off your property dogs must be leashed for their safety.
About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Emily was so wonderful with taking care of our cat and dog! She provided great updates with lots of details and photos, and we could relax on our trip knowing our pets were getting lots of attention and love. 😊”

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.
About: Vacation with peace of mind knowing your beloved canine family member will be safe and happy; and perhaps, a bit overly loved. There’s always lots of play and pamper time and all walks are free! I’ll gladly keep in direct contact with you providing pictures and videos throughout each. I will lay with your fur babies, play outside, go on walks/adventures, relax and watch movies. I love all animals and believe they deserve to have a good time even when their owner cannot be home. I have always been an animal lover, i never felt like watching them was work, just fun. I respect the owner's wishes for anything they need me to do in order to give their animal the best experience while I am watching them. I am always home since I’m a full time grooming student @ Animal Behavior College. My long term goal is to open up a pet and spa resort one day! 🐾 I believe that daily exercise, games, mental challenges and proper socialization is necessary for your pup to live a long and happy life! We think it’s so important that we do it for our pup and of course yours while you are away. I have a fenced in back area and 2 fur babies myself to keep your pup company. We have extra crated if needed and loads of toys to keep them happy! If alone time is their thing, they are always allowed to cuddle with us on our furniture! If a drop- in, I am very good at following concise instructions to insure happy and safe animals while you’re away! I am always home as I’m a mom of three. Your pet will get lots of one on one attention from me. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a fenced yard outside area and lots of toys. Also, I have a pool for my fur friends to play and cool off in during the summer! Your fur baby will feel at home and will receive lots of love and cuddles.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles since I was 14. There’s no greater joy for me then being able to provide a happy, reliable, and safe experience for others furry friends. As an owner of four cats I know how our little friends make such a large impact on our everyday lives and the worries that come from wanting the best care for them. I’m especially passionate in elderly, and pets with disabilities pet care and understand their types of needs like medication schedules. It’s be a dream being able to help care for them. I also love to send lots of photos to the furry friends family to let them know their routine is being followed. I am self employed as a party princess entertainer and my schedule is very flexible. I am an active person who enjoys hiking, long car rides, as well as reading in my down time. I’m looking to be more active in my community since my partner recently began working from home and can provide our own pets more quality time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When house sitting or walking, I care for every pet in their own environment and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding and walking routine, medications or special needs, favorite activities, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. During walks, I focus on safe handling, staying aware of our surroundings, and making sure your pet gets appropriate exercise and enrichment. During house sitting and walks, I prioritize safe handling, secure doors and gates, cleanliness, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“We've used Sarah multiple times for drop in visits for our 2 frenchies. She came recommended by a friend so we scheduled a meet and greet. It was instantly apparent that she loves dogs and was really knowledgeable on the french bulldog breed. Our dogs gave her their seal of approval with multiple kisses at the first meeting. Sarah is reliable and professional. She would message us letting us know how the pups were doing and always sent adorable photos. We will continually use Sarah and highly recommend her anyone who wants to be confident that their pets are being taken care with love.”

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.
