About: I have had and taken care of large dogs for the past ten years, and I am able to care for senior dogs, administer medications, and help dogs get exercise. I am a college student on summer break who has plenty of free time to provide pet care, and currently I am entirely available most days. I am experienced with large dogs and senior dogs, and want to do anything I can to ensure your pet's safety and happiness. I am always cautious when walking dogs and remain alert to my surroundings so that the pet has a safe and enjoyable experience.

About: i’ve cared for dogs all my life and have experience owning pets with a variety of sizes. I have also owned cats in the past I am working part time and would love to take care of animals in my spare time. With my schedule, anytime of day works for pet sitting. With my experience of having dogs and cats I am aware of the safeties required to keep animals safe in the home and around other people or animals.
About: I am an accountable and considerate animal lover with years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking. I have worked with different breeds and temperaments. Currently I am working from home during the week and have open flexibility for my schedule. I can dog walk, pet sit, perform wellness checks, and administer medication. I love to work with animals and I love to go for long walks with dogs. I live in downtown Providence and I am willing to pursue any pet sitting / dog walking jobs close to the city. I can be contacted directly through this website. I am always happy to answer any questions or provide any additional information regarding my credentials and my background! I hope to hear from you! I work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule to accommodate drop ins, walks, and overnight visits for weekdays and weekends.

About: I am a 31 year old holistic healing practitioner in Providence RI. I love caring for animals and giving them a fun and calm experience. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I’m happy you’re interested in working with me. I do this from the heart. I service clients in the downtown PVD area and close by. My approach is intentional, it’s about stimulating the dogs’ minds, showing affection, and building a bond. Exercise is very important for all animals. And just like we want respect from fellow humans, we need to command respect from the dogs as well. I’ve been walking dogs for about a year. I also fostered a dog for about 3 months to assist with her behavioral issues. It was very meaningful and fun to help the pit bull mix gain her confidence. I have some experience in a daycare setting but my standards are so high that I have decided to do the daycare my own way. Dogs and pet parents deserve truth, constructive and caring feedback, and kindness. If you want your pup to receive one on one attention where they can learn commands, learn patience, and have fun while doing it, in a safe environment, please message me for more details :) Book me today! Please message me for exact timeframes. Thank you! Sending you light 🌟 I’m looking forward to giving your dogs an enjoyable walk around the city! I live in downtown Providence so I’m close to many busy people who own dogs. I work with people and animals full time and love connecting with the community. Let me know what time works best for you during my availability hrs. I am able to walk your dog and keep them stimulated with commands/tricks and play time. I’ve fostered a 5.5 year old pit bull with some behavioral issues and it was beautiful to see her show respect and love all in one. It’s not the breed that’s the problem, it’s the owner behind the dog. I really do believe calm assertiveness is needed for anyone to own a dog. I bring that good energy with me on the dog walks.
About: Hi, I’m Lauren and I love all dogs! I have my own wonderful cattle dog/pitbull mix at home and experience with large and small breeds. I have plenty of energy and am open to long walks, fast walks, and big personalities, and I can travel to you on a flexible schedule. I work part time from home so I am able to be very flexible with your pet care needs. Try me and I can probably be there! I’m a respectful and conscientious sitter. I will always be attentive to your dog’s specific needs and respectful of your home. Tell me how it goes in your house, and that’s how it will go!

17. santana w.
“Santana is a wonderful 18 year old high school graduate. She is a pet lover and has 2 dogs at her father's house (a 2 yo Golden Doodle and an 17 yo Rat Terrier/Japanese Chin mix) and 2 dogs at her mother's house (an 8 yo mini Chihuahua and a 5 yo Pitbull). She has had cats in the past. She has experience with a wide age range. She is active, would make sure you pets are active, and would take great care of your pets.”
18. Kaitlyn B.
“Kaitlyn helped me take care of my difficult and aggressive dog. My dog wasn't the easiest to walk because of her aggressive side. You had to be firm with your tone and strong to handle her when she saw something she wanted. My dog also needed to take pills every day which wasn't an easy task since my dog was very stubborn and again, very strong! Kaitlyn handled everything like a champ and always saw the best in my dog even though she acted up all the time. I didn't trust a lot of people handling my dog given how she is but I always trusted Kaityln. She is one of the few that can handle her. I do believe with all of the love from myself and from Kaitlyn my dog slowly started to change and be a better dog overall. Kaitlyn was always overjoyed spending time with my dog and is a true animal lover. I definitely recommend her. Your dog will be in good loving hands.”

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Downtown.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

- A map of their walk with total distance
