Pet care experience

Let's enjoy the beaches and parks!

I've had pets of all types from Agway to Petco and beyond since I was 12 years old. My bond seems to be the strongest with dogs, but some say I have a gift with all animals. I recently cared for my best friend Salty for 16 years, and he would want me to share my lessons learned with other deserving pups!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 07, 2026

Eugene was fantastic! Super thoughtful and attentive to our Sona, she came back very happy. We'll gladly have him look after her again, when we are in the area!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 27, 2026

Eugene was a very communicative and caring sitter. It was clear that he loves dogs and made us feel good about leaving our pup for the first time with a stranger. We would happily have him watch Zuzu again.

Eugene is an excellent dog sitter! He took my energetic lab on long walks in the forest and beach; she had a great time. Eugene provided updates throughout the weekend and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again.

Eugene didn't just take care of my dog as if he was his own, but also treated him like a prince pups. We were so lucky to have connected with him. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone.

Schedule

I work only part time, remote and in the office. My schedule is very flexible and I love to be outside in any weather. I am focused on dogs, but if you have some other unique friend, I'm willing to discuss options so not pet is left behind!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large garage pups love to run in, and I’m very close to 6 parks and the beaches, and do not have any other pets at this time. Salty, our Jack Russell Terrier left us on May 30, 2025. Although we miss him terribly, we learned a lot about dogs over the past 16 years with him!

A typical day

I live in Wood River Junction, RI - but am regularly in the Newport area also. I regularly walk Cliff Walk, the Beaches, Fort Adams, and the numerous Aquidneck Land Dog Parks, and weekend Camping trips!

The more info you can provide about special needs for your dog, the less we have to figure out in person on our own. Its less stressful for the dog and the owners to have the background.
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.
