Grace did a great job watching my cat. She fed her, cleaned the litter and sent me pictures and/or comments each day. My cat isn't very friendly with people that she doesn't know and Grace handled it just fine. Would be happy to have her come again.

About: I’ve been walking and pet sitting for about 3 years. I am in my zone when I am around pets. I’m very patient and pay attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra comfort. I make sure they stay on their routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always keep their environment clean and safe. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, exercise, and quick check-ins. I’m reliable and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and movement they need. I always put your dog’s safety first during walks. I stay aware of our surroundings, keep a secure leash, and follow your instructions so your dog feels comfortable and safe the whole time.

Julia is amazing! I needed someone to watch my babies last minute on a holiday weekend. When everyone was booked up. But Julia then I found Julia. She came over to meet them before we left. So she could see what the routine was. She came over on time everyday, sent pictures, and make sure they were well taken care off. If you need someone reliable to watch your pups, hire her!! All the stars and thank you again!

Rebecca took excellent care of my slightly anxious and socially awkward rescue cat named Garage while I was away. I was a little worried leaving her for 3 days because of her behavioral issues, but found that she was in great hands with Rebecca. We will definitely be requesting her again!

Madelin was great! I had to book someone while I was out of state because my other sitter (friend) wasn’t reliable, and Madelin was able to accommodate and give some love to my kitty:) Very communicative, efficient and kind. 10/10 recommend

She was awesome! The cats loved her. She went above and beyond and made it so much better for me to enjoy my vacation, especially since I’ve never used Rover before. I will definitely be using her again, for sure. Five stars on every level

Nicole was amazing! We received daily updates and photos with each visit which put our mind as ease while we were away from our cat Moe. She utilized our suggestions for his toys and made playtime a priority. After returning from our trip, Moe was relaxed, calm, and happy to see us. Moe really took to Nicole and became good friends. We hope to continue to utilize Nicole’s services for Moe and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for the best care for their furry friends. Thanks Nicole!!

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started helping care for them at a young age. My family always had dogs, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. I’ve also dog sat for several clients through Rover, caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own home while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. I have flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during the week. On weekends I’m also available for boarding and longer stays in Groton, CT where there is a quiet yard and more space for dogs to relax and enjoy outdoor time. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and safe in their environment while following their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and medications if needed. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm environment while their owners are away. When boarding with me on weekends, dogs have space to relax and access to a quiet yard for outdoor time.

About: Throughout my life, animals and children have been drawn to my soft energy. I’ve had and been around dogs and cats all my life. I’ve been working with my giant schnauzer and friends’ dogs that range from rescued grey hounds to small mixed breeds. I am the go-to for any pet sitting for the fur babies. I’m an aunt to a female brindle kitty that is a sassy lady but loves to snuggle me when I visit. Additionally, I frequently watch a reactive grey hound and I am able to still provide the attention she deserves. I understand patience is key when working with people and animals. I’m a Behavioral Technician for children on the spectrum. I currently work 8 am-5 pm Mon-Fri in Warwick. I’m the perfect fit for holidays, evenings, overnights, and weekends! I am thorough with my communication and the expectations needed for any situation. I am typically a homebody who enjoys movies, games, and reading. When house sitting, I usually hang around with your fur baby and offer emotional support until you return. I’ll follow their lead and offer bids for connection. I stick to the routine schedule provided to me (feedings and potty breaks). While providing the known routine for comfort to the animal, I use this time to attempt pairing whether that be with pets of affection, extra treats (if allowed and within acceptable limit), or structured play time.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs and others dogs since I was around 7 I’ve loved dogs my whole life and love caring for them! I was in a specialized hands-on vet program during all 4 years of high school that taught me medically how to care for a dog and how to simply just care for a dog properly at home. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds, my parents own a German Shepherd, a dachshund, and a lab so I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs! I currently have open availability for most weekdays and weekends. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I am super cautious of my own animals at home and am quite typically the same with other peoples animals depending on how friendly the dog is with other people.

Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰
