Your pet's home away from home

**We accept requests for dogs up to 50lbs for boarding** My husband Cory and I have had plenty of happy clients with both walking and dog sitting. We've had our own pup, Bean, for 3 years, and have been watching pups for years both back in the state of RI and through Rover in DC for six years. We're experienced with puppies as young as 3 months old to dogs as old as 18 years, so we have ample experience with dogs of all ages, including administering meds. We honestly love everything about dogs and watching them is a pure joy because our pup Bean loves friends! We're extremely patient and always go above and beyond with our clients' dogs -- we treat your dog like a part of the family. **In order to book, we would need to have a meet and greet with your pup and ours to ensure they get along and also to ensure you feel confident leaving your pup with us while you're away.** We can't wait to be your next dog sitter!!

Safety, trust & environment

Simply put, we would treat your dog like they're our own. Our pup is like our child and you can expect your dog to be treated the exact same when they're with us. We allow dogs on the furniture, in the bed, and supervise playtime. If you need a crate, we can provide one for your pup when they're here. We also provide pictures to update you about how your pup is doing and can provide potty report cards if you'd like!

Ali was great with my senior pup. She was very responsive and understanding of his special needs.

Our dog, Payton, can be very difficult to handle and rarely bonds with other people. Upon first meeting Ali, Payton's tail was already wagging and ran right into her apartment. It was so refreshing knowing that Payton was having such a good time while she was away (most photos dog sitters send us just end up being of her moping). Highly recommend Ali!

Ali was fabulous with our pup! Our dog can be hard to tire out sometimes and I think that Ali did a great job of taking her on runs, walks and trips to the park. I would recommend Ali and plan to use her services again in the future. Thank you!

We can't thank Ali enough for her wonderful care of our pup, Pepper. Like you, we are obsessive pet parents that want nothing but the best for our dog. Our dog is a high maintenance border collie mix who needs lots of attention, stimulation and activity. So we've been very reluctant to board her or leave her with just anyone. In preparation for our trip, we must have visited five different facilities, some of them pretty luxurious in terms of pet care, but the thought of taking Pepper out of her home while we're away was too much to bear. Enter Rover.com and Ali. I was a little reluctant to use the service for whatever reason, but after connecting with Ali and talking through her experience and love of dogs, my comfort eased. Ali stayed with Pepper, took her for long walks, played ball with her and sent us snaps of their adventures. Pepper snuggled with her at night and got early morning runs. We already have Ali set up to take care of Pepper again!

Schedule

Both of us work from home full time, so we are available to let your pup out to play in our fenced back yard any time they want. Our dog Bean is a diva and he demands walks to poop, so you can expect your pup to get at least two mile-long walks per day with our dog and plenty of time in our back yard playing.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Ali can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
We have no breed preferences, but I do like to know the temperament of the dog, what triggers they may have, and any behavior issues. It's also helpful to know meal schedule times. Your dog must get along with other dogs, as we have our own dog as well.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
