About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!
About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
“Nicole took amazing care of our cats! She sent us very detailed updates for every visit with plenty of pictures which helped make it much less stressful to have to leave the cats at home. We will certainly ask her to look after our cats in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable pet sitter based in Providence, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up always being around dogs and cats—walking them, feeding them, and helping take care of their daily routines. Being with animals has always felt natural to me, not just something I do, but something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had different kinds of hands-on experiences that taught me a lot about animal care. I’ve cared for a cat that had a litter of kittens, helped raise and look after them, and learned what it takes to keep both mom and babies safe and comfortable. I’ve also been an animal foster caregiver, which gave me experience adjusting quickly to different personalities, routines, and needs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets—whether they’re shy, playful, older, or need a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to be patient, consistent, and to follow instructions closely so pets feel secure in their environment. My goal is always to show up calm, caring, and dependable, and to make sure every pet I look after feels safe and every owner feels at ease while they’re away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy building time into my schedule to walk, check on, and spend time with animals, and I’m flexible enough to adjust around each pet’s needs. I like being consistent, so pet care becomes a steady part of my week that I can commit to fully and responsibly. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions exactly as given so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable with feeding, water, litter or walks, and giving them attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also make sure to respect the home and leave everything clean and organized. If pets are in my care at my home, I make sure they are in a calm, safe environment where they can relax, stay on their usual schedule, and feel comfortable and secure.
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“Would not hesitate to have Jules sit for our three cats again! She did a fantastic job and even picked up an extra day for us during the end of our trip! Great communication with photos and updates. Great service and attention to all the cats needs! Thank you! Pamela”
“Kimberly watched my dogs over Memorial Day weekend - she was very responsive to messages and was very kind to water my plant while I was gone as well, and sent photos of the dogs when she went twice a day. We are hoping to use her again next time we go away!”
“Veru was amazing! She accommodated a last-minute time change for us and made sure the girls got to enjoy the nice weather. We really appreciated the flexibility and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 15 years. My family had two dogs while I was growing up, and I was responsible for feeding them, taking them on walks, and bringing them to their grooming appointments. After moving abroad for school, I adopted two rescue cats from a local shelter and have cared for them ever since by myself. I stay on top of their annual wellness exams and vaccinations, introduce new foods to keep their meals interesting, bathe them when needed, spend lots of time playing with them, and even take them on walks occasionally. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently a graduate student, so my schedule depends on my work, but I'm usually available around lunchtime and in the evenings after 5–6 PM (or nights if necessary). My schedule is generally more flexible on weekends. Because of my lab work, I'm better suited for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting rather than full-time boarding. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I will carefully follow each owner's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special care requests. I take time to learn each pet's personality and never force interactions if they're shy or nervous (I have a shy cat so I know how it works). I will also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Maya went above and beyond for my three kitties!! She is an absolutely delightful person and you can tell she truly cares for your pets like she would her own. I will definitely be using her again and again. Thank you Maya! 🩷🐾🩷”
About: I love all animals, especially dogs, and I am very responsible. I have watched dogs while babysitting toddlers and I have a cat of my own. I am currently in graduate school and I take classes from morning to the afternoon, however I can be flexible around that schedule! Feel free to message me if you need other hours as I can adjust my availability on Saturday-Mondays! Having a cat of my own, I am very responsible and respectful towards animals and I will never put them or myself at risk for any harm. I love dogs and have experience caring for one as I love to play with them and take my boyfriends dog for walks often!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. My first job was working as a cat sitter for my neighbor’s young cat, Monkey. I’ve stayed at neighbors houses to watch their dogs since high school, providing regular walks, enrichment, and love. I’ve worked with puppies as young as 10 weeks and dogs as old as 12 years. I’ve worked with pets with special needs and medication needs. Most importantly, I truly love animals. As my sister’s weenie dog puppy can attest, nothing makes me happier than having an animal curled up on my lap. Even if it means dealing with some scratches or disciplining, being around pets is always worth it! As a student, my schedule is super flexible. I’m happy to take care of pets whenever I can. I love early morning walks, so I’m available as early as 7:30 am. My house requires getting up a few flights of stairs, so large senior pups may struggle. Otherwise, any animals are welcome. I’m happy to stay at other folks’ homes as I know this often makes animals more comfortable. I’m flexible to whatever your house rules are!
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my cats while on vacation. She spent time playing with Mabel while she stopped in to feed them and there was no worry that Spook would be receiving her daily meds. 10/10 would recommend and will be utilizing Ashley again in the future!”
“Mica was incredibly thoughtful, responsible, reliable, and communicative. From the adorable pictures she sent of our cat, it’s clear that my cat felt extremely comfortable with her, even though she is usually quite timid and shy. Mica was also available with last minute notice. I felt very comfortable having Mica check-in on my cat in my house. If you ever need a cat sitter, I would highly recommend Mica!”

Grace was amazing, a lifesaver. Grace was able to help take care of my girls without much notice, they were so happy to see her every time. Grace was very communicative and provided pictures every single time. She spent time with the girls, played with them, and feed them. Grace is amazing!!
Crystal has been the BEST! She is great with my dog (who is a handful) and has been reliable and easy to work with. She managed all my detailed instructions graciously while i was on vacation. Great communication and I felt totally happy and comfortable my pup was in good hands.
After almost 12 years of only using family members to watch our pup, we found ourselves needing to hire a sitter for the first time. We were SO nervous but from the second we met Mae we knew we were leaving our dog in good hands. My favorite part was the detailed reports of her visit with so many pictures of our shy dog enjoying herself. We will absolutely use Mae again and recommend her to anyone needing a calm, professional, and animal loving dog sitter. You can tell she is passionate about her job and that is exactly what I was looking for when searching for a Rover sitter. Thank you Mae!!
Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.
Emily is SO fabulous with my senior retired service dog Miss Lana! She is a big girl and has arthritis, but Emily knows how to help us, and even when Lana has some accidents indoors (I mean she is 15!! lol) she was so kind and cleaned up as well. She is an excellent communicator too, and takes lots of good doggy pictures for this mom who misses her girl!! Thank you Emily 💗🤩

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
