Pet care experience

I’m on Rover for my love of Dogs!

I just moved to North Providence after living in South Boston for the last six years. I had a golden doodle that passed away last in 2020 and I have been doing dog sitting and walking ever since to get my fix of mans best friend! I love all dogs small or large and I can definitely handle big dogs. I love to walk dogs but having them in my home for a few days is my favorite. I’ve always felt that a home feels empty without a dog in it. Hopefully in the near future I’ll be ready to have a dog of my own again. For now this certainly does the trick. I look forward to meeting your furry creatures! I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice quiet neighborhood.

This is the second time Dennis has watched Orson and it was great! Dennis is very flexible with pick up / drop off and Orson always has a fun time spoiled with treats and a trip to the beach!

We always know that pumpkin will be well taken care of with Dennis! Our pup comes home happy after her stays. Couldn’t recommend more!

Dennis watched our dog over Thanksgiving and we would highly recommend! Pickup and drop off were easy and communication was great! We have no complaints or issues! Thank you, Dennis!

Rosie’s second stay with Dennis was equally great! Dennis took her on plenty of adventures and she came back very happy and tired, so I could tell it was a good stay. Dennis was very communicative and easy to work with. Will definitely book again!

Dennis was an amazing sitter for our dog, Rosie. He was accommodating of our pretty last-minute booking request (1 week in advance) and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. He took Rosie on plenty of adventures and I can tell they had a good time together! Would book again.

Dennis was super communicative and gave Miles an action packed weekend. Miles definitely had fun and I would for sure use Dennis again, thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice quiet neighborhood. My home is smoke free and I don’t have any pets. Your dog will always be the only dog. I don’t ever take in more than one dog at a time.

A typical day

A typical day involves morning walks, playtime if your dog like to play fetch or any other type of fun. Of course some rest and relaxation because all dogs need their rest. Afternoon walk and maybe a dog park if that’s what your pup enjoys. Another nice walk after dinner and of course plenty of trips to the back yard for potty breaks.

Let me know if there is anything I need to know about your pup so I can make sure they are taken care of properly. How much food and how often. Any food sensitivities or anything that’s off limits. Any commands they know would be great 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.
