“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”

“Noah was so patient with our puppy, and very communicative with us. Shared lots of updates, asked questions to make sure we were on the same page, and took care of the pup and cats as instructed. Will definitely book again!”

“Ellie was awesome! She was incredibly responsive and sent pictures of our Tucker on walks and playing around the house. She was nice enough to meet up beforehand and listened to all our instructions to take care of our pup! Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Aidan was very kind and did a good job with my cat who can be on the shy side with new people! They were also very easy to communicate with and fairly quick to answer any messages. I do wish I had received a few more photos during the span of visits, but I also recognize it can be quite the task with crafty, hiding cats sometimes!”

“Oxana did a great job looking after our cat Bean while we were away for a long weekend trip, feeding him and taking care of the litter box. Oxana was communicative about issues with our apartment building entrance lock too. Grateful for the attentive care!”


“Bri has been a wonderful cat sitter for my boys and I’ve rebooked her a few times now and plan to continue to! I read all her little cards detailing the visit and it gives me such peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks Bri!”

“So happy Emily was able to take care of our cat. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and we got timely responses when we had follow up questions/ needs. Lots of great pictures which put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond. We'd highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was great at caring for our three dogs. She provided timely updates and put my mind at ease knowing she was there for them. She was also extremely flexible and understanding during my MANY schedule / last minute changes. Will book again for sure.”

“Sam took fantastic care of our 3 cats while we were away! She did a great job making sure the cats ate their food and administering medication. We appreciated Sam’s updates and communication. We will rebook with Sam the next time we travel, and would recommend her to others!”

“Can not say enough about Heath!!! The absolute best friend Pickles & Peanut has ever had!!! Never have a worry when we are away for the love that is shown to them is amazing!!!!! WE LOVE YOU 😻😻❤️”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 10 and had foster dogs for the past year. I am very familiar with their habits and have a blog recording all the dogs I’ve met on the street including their names and personalities so I could recognize them the next time we met. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, feeding, playtime, and exercise. I can also guarantee at least two one-hour outdoor walks each day, ensuring pets stay active, engaged, and well cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every pet in my care. My home has enough dedicated space to accommodate a crate for dogs up to 100 lbs if needed. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I closely follow their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I am attentive, confident handling dogs of different sizes, and committed to science-based pet care practices that prioritize both physical and emotional well-being. Building trust with pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.
“Camilla was wonderful! Very detail-oriented and communicative. Our cat is a little high maintenance and Camilla stayed on top of her supplements and routines. Would definitely book with Camilla again!”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
“Maya was incredible! She went above and beyond to care for my pet when hurricane Helene hit and the aftermath. She is so caring and loving. She is amazing at communication and knowing how to navigate when everything goes wrong. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to her. I would recommend her with my highest praise and enthusiasm. I feel so lucky that she was there for my pet. She is the very, very best.”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ben was such an attentive cat sitter to my three boys while I was away. He cleaned up a few messes, picked up medication, and communicated so well. I came home to 3 happy boys with clean bowls, an empty trash, and no weird smells (the dream return home scenario!)

I travel for work and Kristine is my go-to to watch my 10 year old rag doll cat who can be pretty high maintenance at times (kitty ibs). Kristine is quite literally the best and I know that whatever happens Kristine can handle it and keep me posted in a timely manner. You’d be a silly goober to not book with them!
We had a great experience with Noah caring for our 2 dogs Luna and Woody. He did a meet and greet first to learn each dogs individual personalities. Noah communicated well during their visits with updates. He also offered to feed my pet turtles and filled my outdoor bird bath.

Maryann was wonderful. She arrived prepared, notebook in hand, and was incredibly organized. I could tell right away that she was thoughtful, responsible, and genuinely caring. She also fosters (and has “foster failed”) cats and dogs, so it’s clear how much she loves animals. Highly recommend.

I teach full time in another state which requires a super long day on a weekly basis. Jayla has become an indispensable and reliable support to help me get through the semester. She is on time, communicative, and great with my pup. Highly recommend!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
