“Kimiko is super friendly and always on time. She takes Charlie great walks (love getting the map updates). She's v understanding of dog needs such as being flexible and comforting about the walk when fireworks start. Bonus: she takes great photos of my Charlie-girl. 🐶🥰”

“Noah went above and beyond when watching my cats, Jerry and Diego! He was very helpful with cleaning and messes and he even brought our mail inside. I really appreciated reading his thoughtful updates after each visit and there was nothing better than looking at the photos he took of my boys when I was really missing them. I definitely plan to book with Noah again and highly recommend him.”

“So thankful for Ellie. Left with the peace of mind that Dutch was in good hands. She communicated through out the days and although my cat tends to be very shy, she warmed up to toward the end of her dropping by. Thank you so much Ellie!”

“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.”


“Bri is such a great pet sitter that I almost don't want to share! But really, she is excellent. Trustworthy, communicative, through and very professional. She always adheres to our (very exacting) instructions and is gentle and kind with our cats. Our go-to for sitting, we appreciate all that she does to keep our minds at ease when we travel, and Bri understands how important this is to us.”

“Mae was wonderful! She took pictures and videos of Kaya and showed me that she was very happy and comfortable. Mae went above and beyond what I needed so I really appreciated it!”

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

“Maryann has been nothing short of amazing. The day before we left for our trip, Scout ended up at the emergency vet. Maryann said she was comfortable administering the medicine and assured me that she was able to keep everything under control so we could be away and not worry. She sent lots of photos and detailed reports to keep us informed. We have one more night with Maryann as our sitter and I already asked to leave a review because she cares for your pets as though they are her own and it shows!”

“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!”

“Heath is wonderful! This was our first time using Rover or any pet sitting service, and Heath went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make sure that we were comfortable leaving our furry friends behind. Our alarm system went off a couple of times while we were away, and Heath didn't hesitate to go over and check things out and let us know what was happening. They sent us photos at every visit, and when we returned it was clear that our cats and home were very well cared for. I absolutely recommend Heath and will definitely book with them again in the future!”

“We are new to the area and we’re anxious about getting a new cat sitter for our two very shy cats. We are very happy to have found Aidan and will definitely book again! They were very responsive and did a great job making sure our cats were taken care of while we were away.”

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and I started dog-sitting when I was 11. Over the years, friends and family have relied on me to look after their pets, from feeding and walking to playtime and medications. To me, dogs aren’t just pets; they’re family, and they deserve to be loved that way. I know life gets busy, and I’m more than happy to take that extra stress off your shoulders, whether it’s a long walk, a quick check-in, or some playtime while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk your pups! I am available on weekdays from 7-8 am and 5-10pm, and I can be flexible on the weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I make safety, cleanliness, and comfort my top priorities. I always ensure that the environment is secure, pet-friendly, and free of hazards. I keep food and water areas clean and sanitized, follow all feeding and medication instructions exactly as provided, and maintain a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and cared for. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own, cleaning up after the pets and making sure everything is left neat and tidy. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and well being, sending regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and safe!
“Baeli was terrific with our senior cat Ace. Baeli was very attentive to his needs and did a great job reporting on the visits. I felt safe having Baeli enter my home while I was away and I’m sure Ace appreciated their company.”

About: I've had all varieties of animals (all rescues!) my whole life and have let that love of all things great and small follow me through life! With my own dogs and cat(s) I've learned a lot about medication administration as well as behavioral issues and care required. Majority of my experience comes from dogs and cats but I also have firsthand knowledge and experience with aquatic animals such as axolotls. I'm an on demand worker currently and pick up shifts when I want them, so my schedule is very open! When I do have shifts I usually work early mornings. I love taking really long walks and light jogs, so depending on your dogs energy levels I can do shorter lazier walks or something more high energy. With cats and other pets I am able to adapt to playtime or cuddles and gentle quiet hang outs for their energy levels as well! I am very accustomed to feeding schedules, routines and medicine giving as needed.
“Connie has been one of the best Rover sitter I've used. She sends several photos / updates of my pup and has been extremely accommodating and flexible with my needs. Highly highly recommended!”

About: I have always owned pets whenever possible, and volunteered at several shelters over the years. I have also pet sat many times for friends and family and have enjoyed it everytime. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. I want to do what works for you. Let me know the times you need and I will make it work! I want to maintain your pets routine as much as possible and be as least intrusive on your home as possible. Please tell me how I can do this most effectively.
“Jenna cared for our kitty for a couple of days and did a great job. The photos we received from every visit were very reassuring because we could see our cat liked Jenna and was enjoying caring attention.”

Federal Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alex is great he cared for our cat like was his own He knew that he would be nervous with a stranger looking after him and they made friends. Alex’s even washed the dirty cat food dishes. We didn’t expect at all! Alex kept me posted on Murphy well being and how he was adjusting to someone new. If you need a pet sitter you need Alex!

Liana was amazing! She sent really awesome pictures of my cat every day and I really feel like she spent time with him and played with him, which is so important especially with how much energy he has! I'm so grateful to her and will absolutely look for her for any and all pet sitting needs in the future!!

Emily did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! She was incredibly patient and attentive, and the photos she sent were absolutely adorable. Even though sometimes my cat can be a bit nervous, Emily gave her plenty of time and space to adjust — she truly understands cats! I could tell from my cat’s behavior that she genuinely enjoyed Emily’s company — she looked much happier and more relaxed than when she’s alone. Knowing that my cat was so well cared for made my trip so much more worry-free. Again, big big thanks to Emily for taking such great care of my fluffy little girl!

I contacted Hana pretty last minute and she scheduled a meet and greet right away. Even offered to help with my mom's dogs upstairs. Hana was professional, sweet, caring, responsible and kept in contact with me my whole vacation with updates of my cat. I was so happy and felt at ease with Hana taking care of Romeo. I will definitely contact her again for the future. Thanks again for taking such good care of my fur baby!

Highly recommend! Oxana is so patient and caring and also very knowledgable and intuitive when it comes to dog behavior. I love that she is super communicative and reliable, and that my velcro doodle, who normally suffers separation anxiety, is quite happy spending time with her.
