“Kimiko was great! She was very attentive to Sadie’s needs and asked good relevant questions. She sent plenty of photos and made sure she was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about Sadie at all!”


“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.”


“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”



“Renee saved us when our planned pet sitter had a last minute emergency and could no longer come to our home to let out & feed our senior dog. Renee had no issue with such a last minute appointment and was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions, kept us updated with her visit and took amazing care of our senior who has mobility issues.”


“Jayla was great! Consistent with the time of check-ins and feedings, communicative about the cats and what they were up to, and so helpful with taking photos of all of them so I could see how they were doing! Jayla was super flexible with scheduling the meet and greet and was very responsive to messages.”



About: I’m a lifelong pet parent and animal lover, born and raised in Rhode Island. I have a 9-year-old cat who has been my baby since she was 3 months old. I also live with and care for my parents’ 4-year-old rescue dog. I have previously raised 3 dogs, and pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I even volunteered at a farm for a few summers, where I looked after everything from horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, and more. After working in higher education for 15 years, I’m pursuing a career change, and can think of nothing better than caring for others' pets! I am incredibly caring and responsible, and I love animals with all of my heart. I guarantee that your fur baby will be safe and cared for with me 🥰 I’m currently focusing on pet care as my primary profession, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m happy to speak with you about your needs and figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet(s). “Wow, usually [pet’s name] NEVER goes up to strangers or lets someone new pet them!” This is something I’ve heard time and again throughout my life. I’m not saying I’m a Disney princess, but…👀 All joking aside, I do take pet care very seriously, and make sure to meet animals where they’re at, never pushing them to be best friends right away. I will use patience and gentleness to gain your pet’s trust. While I do not offer boarding services at my own home, I will treat your home and your pet’s space with the utmost care and security. I am happy to talk through what this looks like for you and your pet depending on your needs.

“Julia and Faith were amazing. I was overseas and scrambling to have someone care for my cats after a few unfortunate incidents with a different cat sitter (not booked via rover). They stepped in and managed the situation so well. I really trusted them in my house and with my cats. I’m so thankful for them.”


“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”


“Annemarie took great care of our kitten and dog while we were away! She provided descriptive Rover cards with pics that gave us peace of mind that our furry friends were doing well at home. We would definitely recommend!”

I have also done international dog sitting. Take me anywhere you travel, so your pet is not alone while you vacation in the states or abroad.

“Nicole was great! She took good care of my senior cat. She showed up when she said she would and I didn't have to worry about anything. I'd definitely book with her again!”


“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!”



“We are absolutely thrilled to have found Rich (Kemba) for our American Bulldog, George. Our meet & greet was off to a slow start, as George is not always friendly to new people. Kemba and his wife Sandra, however, we so amazingly patient, understanding and kind to George - allowing him time to warm up a bit as we talked about his particular needs. Clearly they have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with all sorts of animals, including those who are "misunderstood". We scheduled a 2 week period of 2/day drop-in visits for George, beginning with yesterday (while my husband and I were home to show Kemba the ropes). George was extremely unpleasant and unwelcoming, but Kemba remained calm and collected, explaining George's behavior and reassuring him. He reassured me as well, as I was stressing out over George's outburst. We reviewed some of the notes I left for Kemba and went outside for a short playtime. George is very capable, caring hands with this man. We have a very good feeling moving forward and are confident that he and George will be great friends. I cannot recommend Kemba more highly.”


“Emma was so great with Coco! Coco enjoyed her time with Emma while we were away for a long weekend. She was happy to see us when we returned, but I think part of her wished it was Emma walking through the doors! Thank you, Emma!”


“Jasmine has helped take care of our puppy through dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting over the last year. She is trustworthy, dependable, and truly cares about our puppy. Gracie loves her! Whether it’s a drop in visit or a weekend of house sitting, Jasmine leaves detailed notes on how our puppy is doing. She also takes great pictures and videos! Jasmine cleaned up accidents when they happened, and was so understanding when our puppy was sick. She is easy to communicate with, and is clearly experienced with animals. I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”


“Genevieve did a phenomenal job with my cat and gave him so much attention. He has separation anxiety, but he was in a great mood when I got home from my work trip. I will be using Genevieve's services going forward! :)”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. I currently have two dogs one 8 and one 7 at my parents home where I currently live. My brother and sister in law also have two dogs 2 and 1 years old. When my parents and them travel, I am in charge of the 4 of them at my house and we are all on a routine where everything is under control and still having fun. When needed, I do go to my brothers to take them for a walk and play with them to break up their day of being in the house. I am currently part time worker, so I have more free time during the week and figured I could use my time to help out dog lovers like yourself! For dog walking, I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet and yourself are satisfied with my job. I will be safe but fun at the same time making sure your pets are cared for properly.
