Dog Sitting in Hope

“Paul was great, Murphy was happy!”

“We’ve had the pleasure of having Jean for drop in visits with our chihuahua for the past few months. So happy to have found her. These little dogs aren’t that easy but we feel very assured he is in good hands. Jean helps me navigate the rover app, is reliable and gets back to me promptly.”

About: Mason and I have both had pets our entire lives, there has not been a single moment in my life where there wasn't a pet in the house. Between the two of us, we have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, mice, hamsters, Guinae pigs, and even a little experience with birds. Though new to Rover itself, we have housesat many times for family and friends, taking care dogs and cats as well as chickens and even turtles. We live with my parents and their two dogs and two cats, whom we take care of when they go out of town. In addition to this, we are also pet parents to two adorable bunnies Motzi and Popo who my parents care for when I house sit. Mason and I are both in school, but work opposite shifts when not in class, so your furry friends will never be home alone for long periods of time. We are avid hikers and love to walk, so an active puppy is no problem for us. We both love animals and have extensive experience with a variety of pets and their personalities and would love to get to know yours! As pet parents ourselves, we know it can be difficult, and sometimes scary leaving them with other people for a time, but you can trust that Mason and I will provide thorough, loving care for your furry friend(s)! Mason works early morning into the afternoon and I am currently in college. When I am not in class, I have full availability with your pets, so your furry friends will never be home alone for very long. On a typical week, Mason and I both leave the house at around 6:30 or 7 am depending on how our commute may be where we are staying. I am usually back from school before noon and will spend the rest of the afternoon with your pets! Once Mason is home from work, we both take care of your furry friends. We will always do our best and move our schedules as much as possible to ensure that pets are not home alone for extended periods of time, especially young puppies or kittens as we know how adorable, yet mischievous they can be 😂! We are very flexible when it comes to the care of your pets, they are your pets after all! Whatever needs to be done for them, we got you! If for any reason, we think the job may require more time than we have to give, I will gladly let you know so that your pets will receive the care that they need and deserve. As lifelong pet owners, we have experience will mischievous puppies and kitties who get into stuff they shouldn't, as well as older pets who may need a little extra attention when it comes to things like food and medications. I have had many pets, and know how different their personalities and needs may be, and we are very comfortable catering to specific needs of your furry friends whether it be behavioral or medical.

“Prompt, professional, and reliable…. You can feel safe with Steve looking after your pup.”

About: I have been a pet lover for my whole life. I have 20+ years of experience feeding, playing, training, and grooming them by myself. Also I have experience taking care of ill pets- blind, a heart issue, etc. for years. I'd love to be able to provide good care to your pets while you are away. I'm currently offering drop-in visits and dog walking. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give your fur baby the loving care they need. Your pet will have a safe and attentive visit and I will communicate regularly with you about how the visit went and how they were, and send pictures.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including 10 years working in rescue and fostering. This has given me strong experience with everything from high-energy dogs to anxious or shy personalities. I provide a calm, structured, kennel-free home where dogs are treated like family — not boarded in a facility. I have one friendly English Lab, Gracey, and four cats. I have extensive experience managing a multi-pet household and always prioritize safe, slow introductions and proper separation when needed to ensure every pet feels comfortable and secure. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is fully supervised using secure tethers or leashes for safety. I am comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, senior care, and tailoring each stay to your dog’s specific needs. I am the primary caregiver, but my 14-year-old daughter also helps and has grown up around animals, including 10 years of rescue and fostering experience. She is gentle, attentive, and always supervised. I also offer drop-in visits in the Scituate, RI area for dogs who prefer to stay in their own home. You’ll receive daily photo and video updates, along with clear communication, so you always know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I structure my day around the pets in my care to keep their routine as close to home as possible. This includes feeding schedules, outdoor time, walks, and rest. I am available for boarding, drop-ins in the Scituate, RI area, and can accommodate weekday and weekend care. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable routine so your pet feels safe and comfortable during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I maintain a clean, safe environment and follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, and any special instructions. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Thank you!”

“Tessa cared for our senior goldendoodle, Jade, like she was her own. She sent amazing pictures and gave us constant reassurance of Jade's well-being. I would recommend Tessa to anyone seeking the very best care for their pet. She's a gem!”

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a while and also have taken care of my neighbors pets for long periods of time! From walks, baths, feeding and playtime, I’m experienced in taking care and having fun with dogs of all ages. My dog in particular was a senior and she dealt with arthritis and liver disease, which would limit her ability to do certain things like long walks and going upstairs, or even eating. I do have the experience of taking care of senior dogs that may need this special treatment. I also walked King (pictured) as a volunteer for PAWS NY. This organization has volunteers who walk and/or take care of pets for those who are unable to do so themselves. My job is remote, so I can work from anywhere. My hours are also very flexible, so I am able to work around your schedule! I am also available anytime on the weekends! My area is safe and very pet friendly. The neighborhood is very residential, and there are a few parks nearby. There is also plenty of accessibility and perfect for pets!

“Jasminette was the best with Sora, took awesome photos and gave me great updates!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets in my neighborhood since I was a kid and have always loved doing so. I have a cat of my own and have recently lost my childhood dog but want to share my love and care for animals! I am working at a summer camp which has about 35 hours a week but am available early morning and evenings and can always slip out on my breaks as well! I love making sure pets can trust me and incorporate plenty of play and cuddle time! Apartment with a 2 year old cat. Not sure of experience with other cats and doesn’t mind other dogs (only experienced with one elderly dog)

“Heath is the absolute best, and has gone above and beyond for us and our cat many times. We highly recommend Heath to everyone we know looking for a pet sitter.”

Austin F.

“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”

“I don’t want to leave a great review because we want to keep Carolyn all to ourselves, but we have too! Words can’t not describe how grateful and thankful we are that we had Carolyn watch our dogs. We had an emergency situation with one of our pups and she went above and beyond to give the best care and love to our dogs. Carolyn brought our dog to the emergency vet, waited til she was out of surgery and brought her home. Administered medication and communicated with us every step of the way. She offered great advice while never making us feel bad or guilty for being on vacation. 10 out of 10 and will definitely be using her again!”

Amanda M.

“Carse was amazing and we will absolutely be using her again. She was communicative, prompt, followed up with us daily and kept us up to speed on everything that was happening while we were away. Our cat Doug can be a little spicy with new people and Carse was so good he looked more relaxed hanging with her than he does with us half the time. 5/5”

“Jamie has been great every time she takes care of Finn! She makes sure he’s happy and if Finn is happy, then I’m ecstatic. No complaints here.”

“Matt did a great job! My dog and cat were well cared for and happy. He was responsive and punctual. Keep my pets schedule while we were away. Definitely will use again!”

About: I got my first dog at 3 and have been in love with them ever since! At 15, I began volunteering with Rhode Home Rescue and have fostered over 80+ dogs and 3 cats since. Volunteering has helped me learn senior, disability, puppy and pregnant dog care. I’m currently attending the University's of Rhode Island as an undergraduate Political Science and Criminology major. I have flexible weekday availability for house sitting, dog walks and in house visits. My pets live a spoiled lifestyle that entails outfits, groomer trips, special dinners and consistent love. They spend their time outside in a large kennel but enjoy walks throughout the week.

“Abigail took great care of my high maintenance cats and sent daily pictures and updates. It really helped ease my mind while away. They need insulin and medication so we couldn't have just anyone watch them. A+”

Kayla B.

About: I have never lived in a home without at least one pet! I adore caring for animals of every kind, but cats hold a special place in my heart. I have recently graduated college, and want to put my passion for animals into caring for the local animals around me! I have availability every weekday, and on weekends as well! In my home, my pets are safe and secure. I have two indoor cats that love to lounge around all day! They're given toys and scratching posts for when they're feeling active, and I love to play with them. I also have a chinchilla who has toys and treats in his cage, as well as a big hamster ball to run around in!
