“Sam was a wonderful cat sitter! She was quick to communicate and shared lots of photos. After we returned home, I'm pretty sure one of our cats went to the door at Sam's typical arrival time to wait for her! Sam also thoughtfully took the stinky litter garbage to the outside trash, even though I had said it wasn't necessary. We'd love to have her back next time we're out of town.”
“This was our first time using this service and we were so happy we chose Lizzie! She was very nice, great at communicating, and our dog warmed up to her quickly. I was also thrilled that she lives so close! Thank you Lizzie for taking such good care of our sweet little girl ♥️ We truly appreciate you!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”
“Honestly, I've never trusted anyone but close friends and family with the care of my animals. Maryann was my first experience with pet sitting and I cannot say enough GREAT things about her. My girls have always been well cared for and loved when she comes to visit. One of my passed babies required daily meds and Maryann handled it like a champ! I can always trust her to come right on time...she will feed, play, love them every time. She sends the best pics of my girls I've ever seen (mine don't compare) and gives thorough updates on each visit. I would give her 10 stars if I could...she is the best there is and I am super grateful that my girls have her to take care of them when I'm away!”
“Liana was fantastic! She was responsive, prompt for our meet and greet, and kept in touch with messages and photos while taking care of our senior kitty. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Our family always had dogs growing up - a white german shepherd, then a border collie, and now I have a Maine Coon and Golden Retriever puppy of my own. I am an overall animal lover and incredibly responsible human. I'd be delighted to run, play, and cuddle with your pet; AND I am also experienced in administering oral and subcutaneous medication. I know what it is like to return home to a mess from your pet, so I am also happy to tidy up after your pets should the need ever arise! I promise your pet will be in great care. As a pet owner myself, I know that no one can love your pet as much as you do, but I will sure try! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur family! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“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!”
“Aidan was super communicative and kind. We didn't have time to do a meet and greet beforehand because of some last minute travel changes, but they graciously hopped in anyway and figured everything out sight unseen.”
“Ben took so many pictures of my cat when I was missing her, and he was very professional. My cat felt very comfortable with him during the drop in visit. I will definitely use his services in the future”
“I could not have asked for a better experience! Working with Kayla was such a dream. She was so responsive and reliable. My family and I were able to fully enjoy our vacation with our minds at ease knowing that our animals were in Kayla’s care. We will absolutely work with Kayla again!”
About: When I was little, my family had a small chihuahua. For the past 5 years, I’ve had a yellow labrador retriever named Hazel who is very energetic and playful. She’s my best friend! I’ve done house drop ins for friends and family for both dogs and cats to check in and take care of them. 💗 I am a full-time student that also has a part-time job. I am involved in clubs and volunteering while also balancing social life and me time. I think Rover would be a great experience to connect with other animals. I help my family feed our dog and provide her with water. I also take her on walks, to the park or play fetch in our backyard which has a good amount of running space for her. She’s a cuddler when she’s tired so we snuggle on the couch or play tug of war inside 😊
“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!”
“Jules was wonderful! I felt really comfortable leaving Courgette with them and felt very at peace. Jules was also great at communicating, would certainly choose them again.”
About: Hi! My name is Julia. I’m a 21 year old student living in Providence looking for some work in pet sitting! My hometown is Guilford, CT and I am there sometimes as well! I’ve had animals (dogs and cats) my entire life, done pet sitting for friends and neighbors, and have volunteered in shelters. I have my own cat (Callie) and I’m a self-proclaimed crazy cat person. Ask any of my friends about me and they’ll likely tell you that I’m the biggest animal lover they know. I promise you I’ll take the best care of your dog or cat and give them so much love while you’re gone. I’m a student and work a part-time job so I’m pretty flexible! Just let me know the times and days you would need in advance and I can work my schedule around it :) I will follow any instructions you give me to care for your pet. Right now, I’m not in a space where I can have pets in my home, but I will come to yours!
“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!”
About: I've personally owned a dog for 17 years & have cared for other people's pets (including dogs) in their homes for many years, so I'm familiar & skilled in pet care & love providing this service . One of my life routines includes walking for exercise and I would enjoy walking your dog/s with me. I'm currently unemployed and available for this service. I am not available to keep your dog in the place I reside because I am a renter & that service is not permitted on the grounds
Fox Point pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was fantastic with my senior kitty!!! She was a champ with giving my old gal her medicines, navigating all my cat neuroses, and filling out her report card for each visit. I often feel quite nervous leaving my cat with sitters due to some health problems but Emily was so lovely and curious about my kitty. Thank you Emily!!!! Would love to book you again.
Nicole is an amazing cat sitter!! She took great care of my cat, was able to feed her medications everyday, and did a great job of keeping the litter box (and my apartment) super clean! It was so fun to see pictures of my cat everyday from Nicole. :) I would absolutely book through Nicole again!
Maryann was an awesome cat-sitter! She took great care of our two cats, including ensuring that the shy cat got comfortable enough to come out to eat and play! She’s very responsive and reliable, and I felt very confident that she would have handled any problems with great care. Also, she took adorable pictures of the cats :)
Jules was absolutely amazing! We have 2 shy cats and she was able to get them to cuddle and play with her! She took a ton of photos and spent the time to give us updates every day and even brought in our mail! Our cats seemed so comfortable around her! Will definitely book again!
Summer was awesome. She quickly connected with our parrot and took good care of her while we were away. Summer was always on time and clearly communicated / reached out if she ran into any issues. We look forward to having Summer look after our parrot next time we're out of town.
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!
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!
