“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Nala, in Veru's care for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! As it was my first time leaving Nala, I was understandably nervous, but Veru's loving and caring nature put me at ease right away. Throughout the week, I felt reassured knowing that Nala was in such good hands. Veru went above and beyond to ensure Nala felt comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter – she truly has a gift for caring for pets!”
“Paige is friendly, professional and her lovely home is set up perfectly for pet sitting. She sent me daily updates including pictures of her kids loving up my precious pup. And while he didn't leave the house for walks, she has an adequate fenced in yard and he was able to come in and out of the house freely. I felt completely at ease knowing that he was well taken care of since she has 4 children who were all respectful and great kids!”
About: I have had dogs for the past 15 years. I have trained 3 dogs of my own over that time. I took care of neighbors and friend's animals when I was younger. I worked my family's farm as a kid. I have been around many animals helping to provide care and training throughout my life. I have a hybrid job. I go onsite 2-3 days per week, but these typically are not a full 8 hour days. On days I'm not onsite I am home working I wake up early to go to the gym and at night I am more often doing things around the house or running errands. I have a yard that is not fenced in but is surrounded with bushes and trees as a natural fence. I am able to attach/tie-up your pup to a runner when needing to go outside. I live right on the bike path so runs and walks will be a daily occurrence. I also have no problem sharing the furniture.
About: I’ve had a dog since 10 years old , at 16 I started walking dogs for people. From there I started to dog sit , board, or even just do drop-ins. Doing that gave me the opportunity to experience all pups or different ages . I’m currently a stay at home mom , so I’m always home and able to give all the time needed & potty breaks. My children are gentle and pet friendly . I have a big back yard, also a fenced in park near by , and a friendly Dalmatian to keep your dog company. I can’t crate if I need to
“Sonia was great! While we were away for 4 days we received pictures and updates regarding how he was doing. She has a fenced in back yard where our dog could run around and play. Would definitely book again!”
“Oliver was so well taken care of. I got many updates and pics. Lots of exercise and love was given. They were super easy to communicate with as well and were flexible about drop off time to accommodate my work schedule. I will definitely be using them again.”
“We were in a tough spot when our original dog sitter canceled the night before we were supposed to leave for the holidays due to illness. Jessica came to the rescue by accepting our last-minute request. From the start, she was upfront and transparent about her situation. She was already watching another dog that wasn’t comfortable around other dogs. She had a well-thought-out plan in place to keep the dogs separated, which gave us complete peace of mind. Jessica was highly communicative, keeping us updated with pictures and videos of Apollo throughout the stay. Her attentiveness, reliability, and thoughtful approach made the entire experience stress-free. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and we’re so grateful for her help.”
About: Animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I believe our pets are so much more than just animals; they are family, loyal companions, and beautiful souls who bring unconditional love into our lives. Having shared my own life with beloved bulldogs and cats over the years, I understand just how precious they are and how important it is to know they are safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With 25 years of pet-sitting experience, I offer compassionate, dependable, and personalized care for both cats and dogs. Every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks, and I take the time to honor and understand each one. Whether it's gentle cuddles, playful moments, peaceful companionship, or simply making sure they feel secure in their own surroundings, I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same love, patience, kindness, and respect they receive from you. Because to me, pet sitting isn't just a service — it's a privilege to be trusted with a piece of someone's heart. 🐶🐱💕 As a self-employed shamanic practitioner, herbalist, and massage therapist, I have been blessed to create a life and career centered around healing, compassion, connection, and caring for others. One of the beautiful benefits of being self-employed is having a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of extra time to dedicate to pet sitting. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and find their presence incredibly grounding, peaceful, and healing. I believe animals are beautiful souls who deserve the same love, kindness, patience, and respect that we give one another. Because I create my own schedule, I have the freedom to be present and attentive, offering your furry companions plenty of affection, companionship, and individualized care rather than simply stopping in and rushing out. Pet sitting is something that fits naturally into my lifestyle and brings me so much joy. Being able to spend my days surrounded by animals, nature, and healing energy is truly a gift, and I would be honored to share that love and care with your beloved pets Being outdoors and connecting with nature is a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love sharing that joy with our four-legged friends! Hiking, exploring wooded trails, visiting parks, and enjoying the fresh air are some of my favorite things to do. I also have a Sprinter van, which makes it possible to take your furry companions on fun dog-friendly excursions and outdoor adventures, always keeping their individual needs, comfort, and safety in mind. I live in a cozy, pet-friendly apartment conveniently located near beautiful parks and green spaces, offering plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, and exploration. Whether your dog is an adventurous soul who loves hiking through the woods or a gentle homebody who prefers leisurely strolls, belly rubs, and snuggling up for some quiet time, I am happy to accommodate their unique personality. I believe animals thrive when they feel loved, safe, and connected to the world around them. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a little vacation of their own, filled with love, adventure, companionship, and plenty of wagging tails!
“Savannah was very kind, she sent lots of photo updates, and was super flexible with us during our travels. She is our new go-to dog sitter for when we go away. Thanks Savannah!”
“I recently boarded my dog with Britney for the first time while I was on vacation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Britney took excellent care of my dog, taking her to the park and making sure she was properly cared for. My dog got along great with Britney's dog, which made the experience even better. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout my trip, and communication with Britney was easy and reassuring. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. It was a positive experience all around!”
“Mary and her family took great care of my dog Rory and provided pictures throughout the weekend. Rory was exhausted from playing with the kids, and she slept the whole next day after I picked her up. I will definitely ask Mary to watch Rory again.”
“Sol was great with Bernie. She walked him numerous times a day and kept us informed with pics and texts. She’s a natural for dogs and taking care of them. It’s great to leave and not worry. We’ll book Sol on our our trips away. Thanks Sol!”
“I brought my beloved Pomeranian Samara to Zoe this week. She spent two nights and when I picked her up she was happy and very tired from all her playing with another little dog. Zoe has a fenced back yard and Samara was free to run unleashed and enjoying zoomies. Zoe kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I felt so grateful for Zoe's outstanding and kind care. I will definitely trust her again.”
“Heath was terrific! Extremely caring and communicative throughout. My dog is slow to warm up to people, but she definitely warmed up to Heath! Very grateful, highly recommended!”
“Erin took great care of Lily during a four-night stay (and Lily’s first boarding in a good few years). Lily seemed comfortable and settled quickly, and Erin was very accommodating of her particular habits—including adjusting her schedule on the first day so Lily wouldn’t be left alone in an unfamiliar place, and being patient with her reluctance to go very far on walks when I’m away. I received photos and updates during the stay and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Erin also very kindly brought Lily home at the end of the booking. I’d be very comfortable having Lily stay with her again.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She provided excellent care and daily updates. We were confident our dog was in good hands, and we would certainly leave Daisy with Jacqueline again in the future.”
“As always Christopher and his wonderful family were amazing! He is always extremely responsive and accommodating when we needed a last minute sitter for our dog! She loves her time with them! We will never use anyone else for our dog sitting needs!!! 10 stars!!”
“We left our dog, Whidbey, with Olga for two weeks while we were on vacation, and the experience was fantastic. From day one, she made us feel completely at ease. She and her family clearly love animals, and it showed in how well they cared for him. We received regular photos and updates, which was reassuring, and Whidbey came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. We couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommended!”

Our dog got sick and she contacted us right away. She took her to the emergency vet and cared for her at 2am. She was very kind, patient and understanding. We couldn’t get back to get her right away and she watched Penny until we could have family get her. She worried about Penny and took great care of her. I can’t express my gratitude enough. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much
I can't recommend Franchesca enough! She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my little Benji and truly made him feel right at home. From taking him on regular walks to giving him plenty of love, attention, and care, she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. What I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She kept me updated every single day, giving me complete peace of mind knowing Benji was in such great hands and doing so well. It's not always easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Franchesca made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for the wonderful care she provided. Benji couldn't have been in better hands! I highly recommend Franchesca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. I'll absolutely be using her services again in the future! 🐶❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve gone through pet sitter after pet sitter, and there’s always something that goes wrong, whether it’s not following instructions, not giving the pets enough attention, forgetting things, or just not communicating well. But Anely was seriously the BEST! 🥹 I’ll definitely be booking her again. She listened to every single one of my instructions, and trust me, I had A LOT. 🥲😂 I’m definitely one of those people who’s a little crazy about my fur babies, but she handled everything perfectly! Seriously, she was so worth it, and I couldn’t be happier. 10/10 would recommend! 🐾❤️
Karen was very easy to communicate with before and during my elderly dog Louie's stay. She really knows dogs, is kind and thoughtful. I received photos of Louie doing different things at different times of the day. She made sure that his comfort at her house, and with his usual routines was consistent. She's a very cool lady and I recommend her.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Elba enough! I needed someone to watch my Pudding last minute while I was dealing with some personal issues, and she stepped up without hesitation. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures of him playing, having fun, and enjoying himself every single day, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him as if he were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby isn’t always easy, but Elba made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the love she showed Pudding. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend her! ❤️
Rachel has cared for my cat several times and is always my first choice when I need someone to care for my cat. She is communicative, dependable, thoughtful, and I love getting pictures and updates while I’m away. Most importantly, Rachel is wonderful with my cat! I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in Rachel’s care. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a fantastic cat sitter!
We can’t say enough good things about Eliza! She took Marvin in with such short notice, it was impressive. The handoff was super easy and Eliza was very communicative; sharing photos and videos of Marvin. These were great action shots! Not only that, but she was very flexible when plans changed due to a flight change. We highly recommend her and will be bringing Marvin back whenever we need a sitter!
She was great with my cat! My cat can be a little shy and doesn’t warm up to new people easily, but she was very patient and gave her the space she needed. I really appreciated how understanding and gentle she was. It was reassuring knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her! ❤️
Remi spent 2 nights with Kae and her family—the first time my 2-year-old pup stayed overnight with anyone. He had a great time! How do I know? He was in her arms when she opened the door. Glad to see me but not frantic to get at me. Content. Bright-eyed. Will definitely ask again if he can stay with Kae. Thank you!!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
