About: I’ve owned dogs. Use to have a pit lab mix that was special needs. Would walk him, play with him daily of course along with his special requirements that was needed for his disability. Currently have 4 cats! And in a vet tech program while working at a pet store, I care for animals daily I currently work for June bug! Another amazing dog walking/pet sitting organization. It is part time so I always have time to look after your fur babies Care for each animal depends on the specific pet because no two animals are exactly alike! Currently at home I take care of all my pets with my Mother.
About: Hi! My name is Caroline, I am a pet lover, residing in Pawtucket RI! I’d love to help you and your furry friend with dog walks or drop in visits. I’ve worked with all different kinds of dogs, sizes and ages, and have had experience doing drop in visits for cats. I have a 4 year old yellow lab who keeps me active and on my toes - so I’m used to dogs that pull and dogs that need to get their energy out. I currently have open availability for my schedule so happy to chat about what times you need me to visit with your pet! I am super flexible. My biggest concern is making sure your dog is comfortable and safe in the environment they are in. I will always ensure that they are well taken care of and that their environment is just right.
“Xavier is responsible and communicative and always on time. Our dog, Reggie loves Xavier and does so much better on the days when Xavier comes to walk him. Xavier goes above and beyond by making sure the puppy mess is picked up at our house before he leaves. I highly recommend Xavier for your pet.”
“Jayla was fantastic with Rusty and went above and beyond, from accepting a last minute booking when our usual sitter fell through to taking extra precautions when someone noticed where we told her to hide the key! Will absolutely be requesting to book again!”
“Samantha was punctual and thorough at our meet and greet and was able to work with my very excitable but friendly dog. She provided updates as the walks were taking place and sent videos of my pup. Will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Donna is super-friendly, reliable, and was great with our dog Mugs. She took the time to meet with us and before starting to take him for walks, and after meeting her we felt completely comfortable with her, and trusted her taking care of Mugs. I would recommend Donna to anyone looking for help caring fro their pet!”
About: My husband and I will both be taking care of your pup. We both grew up with multi-dog households and fully embrace the 'pets as family' way of life. Our seven year old herding dog is our constant companion and his cat sister is not far behind. With new dogs in the house, she tends to just keep to herself on the bottom floor of the house so dogs not good with cats are not a problem. We walk our dog at least twice a day. It is not our style to simply let him out back to do his business. While at our house, your dog(s) can also count on a solo or shared walk at least twice a day with "let outs" in between. Our dog's food is homemade as we have been through the allergy cycle with our pup too many times. This makes us very comfortable with and understanding of varied eating habits and dietary needs. We are comfortable administering medications if need be. We would LOVE your pup to snuggle on the couch or curl up in bed with us as our own prefers to simply guard the herd. We started really dog sitting for friends and family when we were still living in an apartment but now that we have a house to ourselves, it has been easier to open our doors up to more pups and more often at that. We have had senior dogs on medications, young pups in the midst of crate training, wildly active athletic types, food guarding growlers, and snuggle pups who sleep under the covers with us. Tony co-owns a business so has flexible hours and Emily is a local teacher with lunch breaks that allow for popping home to let the dog out during the week. If we go away it is mostly within New England to see family and have used Rover ourselves and loved it. At night and on the weekends you can find us curled up at home.
About: I’ve taken care of my partners dog for the past two years, I’ve trained her to do things like spin, sit, wait, and paw. I have a background in parrot training, and if you know anything about parrots it’s that they are stubborn, so regardless of your pet I have the patience for any personality! I am a college student and part time nanny, so on weekends I have tons of free time to care for your companion, it brings me a sense of fulfillment because I am unable to own one myself. When I am not home my room is free roam all shoes and possible choking hazards are put away out of reach. Typically a morning walk in the yard on leash is done then an afternoon walk twice, and an after dinner before bed walk is completed. In between we do some play time/training. My favorite trick to train is spin!
About: I’m a compassionate dog walker with 12+ years of experience & a lifelong passion for animal care. I started by dog sitting as a child, then volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs & caring for cats in my teens to early 20s. From 2016 to 2019, I also volunteered on a farm, caring for a variety of animals. I have experience working with pets who have emotional challenges or traumatic backgrounds & am especially patient with those needing extra care. In 2022, I earned my Veterinary Assistant certification & completed an externship at a clinic specializing in both Western & holistic medicine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments & can recognize early signs of illness or distress. Many dogs who are typically wary of men feel at ease with me due to my calm, intuitive approach even my senior colleagues had easier attempts to exam the dogs back paws or trim nails with I’m in the room. I treat every pet like my own. I am available Monday through Friday 7am-5pm. I can do earlier or later on those days with notice. I am around some weekends & can coordinate that with notice as well. I make sure the areas i walk the dogs are appropriate for the dog I'm caring for. The first walk i will get a history & use my experience to find the best route for the dog I'm caring for during that i will pay close attention to you’re dogs safety as well as stress levels & make sure your dogs safety & emotional wellbeing is supported.
About: We both have experience living with animals. Mary grew up and lived on a farm with many cats and dogs, as well as worked in a pet store on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. Nick grew up owning fish, dogs, cats, and a number of hamsters and gerbils. We both love animals and want to make sure they aren't only taken care of, but also happy. We are living on the east side of Providence right now. We can book overnights stays, walks midday, or host for a fun/quiet night. . During those stays we will be able to take care of the animals at all times and accommodate them properly. We both currently work in the city but have flexible times during the day and weekends. We take them on plenty of walks and make sure they get to move throughout the day. Playtime is super important for most animals, not just taking them on a daily walk. We treat out clients animals as if they were our own. Regular/routine feeding times, outdoor activity, and plenty of love and care.
About: Hey, I'm Richie, a local dentist. I have worked well with dogs because I love to match their energy and be as playful as they are! I work on weekdays from 8-5. I play with Bosco in my giant backyard for an hour in the morning, and we go for a walk by the water in the afternoon to meet more fur friends. My yard is fenced with plastic deer fencing, and I always supervise the pups while they are in the backyard! Bosco is friendly with cats and dogs, loves to play outside and chill inside! Let Bosco and I relieve you some stress and watch your puppers while you do your thing! I wake up at 5-5:30 am to play with Bosco before going to work. I get back around 6 pm to take him on a walk. I'm available all day on weekends! I have a huge yard that is fenced with 7 foot plastic deer fencing that is secured with ground spikes and zip ties. All dogs are supervised while they're in the backyard. I keep the apartment nice and cool for Bosco, and always have new water available before a meal!
About: I’ve had pets all my life big and small Ranging from dogs cats birds rabbits that I was responsible for loved deeply and spent everyday with them I am currently between jobs and have lots of time to care for all of your pets I can cater to all that they need I have a fenced yard and 2 cats and a dog that are very friendly but I can do whatever’s necessary for your pet to be comfortable
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!
“Sabrina was the perfect choice for a dog walker in Boston! We had a meet and greet before the walk and she asked all the right questions. Her communication was great! She kept me updated throughout the walks (as well as many pictures). Trusted her completely and would absolutely use her again. Thanks so much Sabrina!”

Laura has been great to work with. We have a reactive dog one of three and she’s been very patient in working with him and getting him to walk on the trails. We appreciate her flexibility and she’s in frequent contact with us so that we know how the dogs are doing highly recommend
We had Xavier come and do walks twice daily for my energetic pup during a last minute trip my family took. Xavier provided excellent communication and went above and beyond in many ways. We received pictures with every walk and questions that showed he was attentive and responsible caring for our dog.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fairlawn. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fairlawn.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairlawn. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
