Kimberly watched our 3 dogs in her home over a long weekend and our dogs had an absolute blast with her! Since it was our first time booking with her, I asked if we could arrange for her to meet the dogs ahead of time. She happily agreed and came to our home that same day to get to know the dogs and answer any questions we had. As soon as she walked in the door, she sat in the floor with the dogs and they all took to each other immediately! I had no worries at all in leaving them with her and I knew they would have a great time. Kimberly kept me updated about how they were doing and she sent me pictures every day of their adventures on walks or of them playing in her yard. I will happily book with Kimberly again and highly recommend her!

I was very happy with my dogs stay with Brian and his family. My dogs seemed happy and tired when they got home and the price was reasonable. I will definitely use him again.

About: I’ve cared for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, mice and birds. Horses and dogs are my favorites! I’ve had a dog (or 3) of my own until recently when my 17 year old Yorkie passed away. I’d love to care for your pet now. I am out of the house for a stretch of 4-6 hours for 4-5 days a week, usually in the morning. But otherwise my schedule is fairly flexible. I can walk your dog or put them on a line. I do not have a fenced yard. In general, I don’t mind dogs on my furniture. I can crate them if needed.

I left my dog with Jennifer and it was a wonderful decision. She updated me with pictures and texts all through my trip to let me know that my dog, Sophie, was safe and sound. I feel like she couldn't have been in better care. She was very well taken care of, loved on, spoiled with attention and I knew without a doubt that my dog was safe and having a good time. I highly, highly recommend!!!

Sharon took great care of our 14-year-old pup, Max. He was acting anxious, and Sharon put in extra effort to make sure he was comfortable ( extra bathroom breaks, calming treats). She communicated very well with us, too. We would 100% recommend her!

About: I had a cocker spaniel named Gibby for 12 years. I’ve had experience walking my family and friends dogs which ranged from 6lbs-100lbs. I have also fostered and taken dogs out for the day from our local animal shelter! I am currently a senior at Salve Regina University, I also have a part time job at Brandy Melville. However, I do not have classes everyday of the week which makes my schedule more accommodating! I live in downtown Newport right next to King Park which is one of my favorite spots to walk to especially with a furry friend!

Perfect family to care for my little guy while I get away for a little me time. Knowing he’s well taken care of and loved.

Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!

Lillian was incredibly friendly, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about our dog’s well-being. Our dog is older and ended up getting sick while staying with her, and she handled everything exceptionally well. She kept us updated, was attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and properly cared for. That level of responsibility and compassion meant a lot to us. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

We cannot recommend Kolby enough! We dropped the ball on arranging care for our dog, Penny during our wedding weekend. Not only did we need someone to watch Penny, but also needed someone to bring her to our venue, as she was an important part of our wedding ceremony. On very short notice, we found Kolby through Rover, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she loves dogs and makes them feel safe and at home. She went above and beyond to care for Penny, kept us updated with daily photos, and ensured everything went smoothly on our big day. Thanks to Kolby, Penny was happy, cared for, and our wedding went off without a hitch!
