House Sitting Manton

“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

About: Formerly Haley and Kelly, now Kelly with appearances from Haley! Pet care in your home or mine. Boarding at my home is welcome to (preferably - but temperament depending) smaller animals that my chill, small, senior dogs and independent cat are safe with. Pet care in YOUR home - the criteria above doesn't apply. Let's have a meet and greet to see if we're a good fit! ....................................................................... After leaving some beloved clients back home in Portland, OR, I'm beginning my pet sitting journey here in Rhode Island! I left some beloved clients back home in Portland, OR when I moved to RI two years ago - I look forward to meeting new folks in the area and providing the same, high standard of care. In addition to my lifelong history of providing love and care for animals, I have 5 years of experience working in a busy dog daycare setting, several years in a progressive and education forward pet store and 20 years experience providing care and boarding animals in my home and theirs. Safety and comfort are absolute top priorities when it comes to my own pets and the pets I care for. I'm experienced at providing specialized and homemade diets as well as administering medication to cats and dogs. Haley and I have been pet first aid certified through Dove Lewis in Portland, OR. With a very tiny, blind, senior Yorkie of our own, I understand the vulnerability of our pets and can provide the care they need to feel safe and happy while their families are away. A special emphasis on special needs pets and seniors, as we have years of experience with them. I'm currently taking time off work until early 2027. I'm a student full time but I have a ton of flexibility as I continue online/virtual coursework that allows me to work anywhere, anytime. I have a large, fenced in backyard where we spend time gardening and doing yard work in the spring/summer. I frequent Dexter park often and look forward to bumping into the other park regulars and their dogs. My dogs are low energy seniors who prefer to spend most of their time inside, especially in the colder months - (along with Haley working from home with them part time) this allows me to give most of my attention to the pets I'm sitting. Bug is a young, independent cat who grew up with Izzy and Stevie and often behaves more like a dog than a cat - she stays inside the home full time unless supervised with a harness/leash.

“Samantha is a great pet and house sitter. She took care of my dog and cats with great care and attention. Everyone was healthy and fine when we came home. The house was well taken care of as well, clean and neat. The communication was also very good, pictures sent and response time was also prompt. I defiinitely recommend her and would hire her again.”

“Savannah was absolutely wonderful house sitting for penny. She provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell she truly cared for pen. Definitely will book her again”

“Anja was great with our two dogs. One of our pups is nervous around new people. Anja was patient and compassionate with her. We felt very comfortable about leaving them with Anja. We knew they were in capable hands.”

About: Ive been taking care of my own pets as long as Ive been able, and began pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for others in high school during 2022. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying ages (puppies/kittens-elderly pets) and needs (illnesses and disabilities), as well as more exotic pets like lizards, birds, rodents, and aquatic animals like fish, turtles, and axolotls. I’ve administered medications for dogs, but do not have experience with needles. I’ve spent up to a week taking care of several animals at a time, as well as short periods like nights and checking in daily. I will do all I can to provide your pet and home with the care they need! I’m currently in college, but primarily online, so my school schedule is flexible with your needs! I am not working outside of pet care so I am not tied down to other responsibilities and provide the time needed to care for your pets. I’ve lived with pets my whole life, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable paying attention to a pet’s behavior and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and secure. I’ll also treat your home with respect, double-check doors and gates, and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for while you’re away.

“Jada was very responsive, she took great care of my dogs that can be a handful, sent me daily updates and pictures. Highly recommended. Thanks Jada.”

About: Hi! I’m Dechen and my family and I have had 4 dogs, all of which I’ve helped take care of. I love dogs and taking long walks, so I’m looking to find positions that allows me to connect two things I love :) I also currently live with a 4 year old black lab named Olive. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your dog! I’m currently in PA school on clinical rotations and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue! If my schedule works with what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your time and have a wonderful day! Through past babysitting experiences, I have gained the trust of many local families as well as families in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. I have worked with children since I was 16, and have proven to be a responsible, trustworthy, and caring caregiver and person. I will uphold the same care with your dogs, and look forward to spending time with them! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. First, a yellow lab named Lucy & then another named Evie. Now, my family has taken on a Bernese Mountain Dog named Josie who is just the goofiest ever. In all the years of having a dog, I’ve been able to help out on walks, taking them to appointments and just lovin’ on them. With Josie, I have helped crate train her and teach her tricks in her puppy years and now being 3, I take her on daily walks (sometimes she walks me, she’s so strong!), car rides, to appointments, etc. My sister describes our relationship as “besties.” No matter the pup, I love being their friend! I have been able to watch different pups, young and old, small and big & love every second with any of them. I’m currently working part time and have availability to love on and care for any pups or cats! I am always happy to shift things around to get to walk, watch, play or stay with any of your pets. I currently cannot house pets in my home since I just moved here and there are currently no pets allowed :( but I am more than happy to travel to your home to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. I know how important routine is to pets (especially dogs) and like to know that they feel safe in their environment and schedule. Especially for pets I’ve just met, I ease into their space and let them warm up to me so they feel safe. When it comes to walking pups, I let them go at their own pace and always make sure they’re leashed with treats on hand. I am always down for a pet snuggle too if they let me!

About: Hi! I have been pet sitting with my non-reactive pup Sylvie for a number of friend's cats and dogs since COVID (usually as a favor) in and out of the New England area. I work at an arts non-profit in PVD and can drive. I can pet-sit and do limited amounts of dog training. Right now I work in a dog-friendly place 10 minutes from my home and my partner is working from home. We like going on hikes and to the dog parks. I would not bring a client's pet to my workplace, but a pet would always have someone with them at all times or at least not be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I am most flexible on weekends and for overnight care. I have a fenced yard, a crate, and multiple rooms in the home with pocket doors that can split a larger room into two if needed. We usually let pets have free range of home or section off the living room depending on the temperament and needs of the pet.

“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”

Isabel J.

“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”

John R.

“Reese is absolutely fantastic. Both Bertha and Milo absolutely loved her. She stayed with them for the week and took care of all of their needs. I would highly recommend and will be sure to contact her again when I need another sitter.”

Michelle S.

“We booked Molly pretty last minute over Thanksgiving to watch our kitten in our home and she did a fantastic job. Very responsive, very personable, and kept us in the loop the whole time we were away. Definitely recommend!”

Sarah C.

“Nadia was super nice and mindful with max’s needs. She and her entire family took care of max during Christmas and made him feel welcome (he has separation anxiety). She sent me constant updates with pictures and videos and even asked for detailed instructions before dropping max. I will definitely book Nadia for max in the future. She’s the best dog sitter.”

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including dogs, cats, rabbit, gerbils, and more. I started volunteering when I was 12 at my local humane society, where I would sit with dogs to comfort them while they wait for their forever home. While I was in college I also started to foster, I fostered 3 cats and a dog over several months. Since I have always had pets, I have helped train puppies, and with senior animal medical care. I have also worked with special needs/trauma (ex. epileptic, male aggression, previous owners abuse, anxiety). I have house sat for my parents, extended family, and family friends. I am looking forwards to cherishing your furbabies, their new best friend awaits! I have just moved back to the states after living in Europe with my partner. We are starting a new chapter and I want to use rover as a way to make money and to help us save for our next steps. It would be my main focus, in my very flexible schedule. As such I will be available for your pet's needs anytime and anywhere. I have worked with all kinds of animals with different needs and will be able to provide whatever you and your pet(s) require. I am fun-loving and friendly, with a huge soft-spot for any animal. My approach centers around trust-building with your pet, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm willing to visit your house multiple times a day and entertain your prescious babies, walk them multiple times, stay the night if necessary. I can take them to dog parks if they like that, parks if not. Your pet will barely notice that you are absent (besides missing their wonderful parent/s)!

About: Hi! My name is Natasha and I am a lover of all pups big and small. I have a pup of my own who loves new mates, play dates , and time spent hiking. I have a “small dog” kennel, a “big dog” kennel, toys, doggie pillows, and dog treats/food. I am looking forward to working with you and your four-legged friends!! I have a pup of my own names Huckleberry and our typical daily routine is waking up early so he can get his exercise in, then we feed, and then we either get a few hours to hangout before work at noon or it’s an early shift at 9. He has the ability to come inside and outside with leisure and every day I come home mid shift to check in. My yard is fenced and my Mr. Huckleberry is a very dog oriented canine who absolutely loves new pup friends which makes our home a good place for all dogs. In the case of clients homes it definitely suits the comfortability for the pup to be in their own environment, but I don’t have a preference!

“Outstanding! Daily pictures and updates. Spent hours actively engaged with Athena (the 80# gsd) each day. She was healthy and happy on our return. We (the people) were able to relax and enjoy our trip with any worry. Xinwei is and kind, gentle person, and Athena loved him from the very first meeting. We returned to find the house cleaner than when we left it! Additionally, he is a fantastic communicator and I recommend him without any concerns at all!”

About: My name is Breanne! I own a hound/ GSD, two cats, and I am fostering a lab! I used Rover in a pinch one day so I know how important this job is and how much of a lifesaver it can be! I would love the opportunity to help someone else in a pinch and make a dog happy at the same time. I am very active, I run trails, walk, hike, I can take your dog to the park, hiking, whatever you need. I have experience with various harness tools, etc.. as my dog is a working dog and we are constantly training. I love spending time with pets in all settings and I’m happy to help in any way I can! I also volunteer at a rescue in my spare time and coordinate spay and neuter services. I currently telework three days a week and have the flexibility to increase this when necessary. I work Monday - Friday 8-3:30pm and can work from anywhere. I believe in maintaining a pets routine to the best of my ability. Having your best friend away can be stressful enough, I do my best to ease your pet’s discomfort as much as possible.

“I highly recommend Nicola! She truly loves animals and took such great care of my 3 dogs. I have a 15 year old dog who needs some extra care. Nicola pays attention to detail and always asks questions if needs more information. I appreciate that so much. Definitely would hire her again.”
