About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs in both my own home and clients’ homes for the past 5 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs engaged based on their individual needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to caring for your dog like they’re part of the family! 5am beach walk Lunchtime walk 4pm walk I work 7-3:30 about a mile away from home M-F so I’m able to come home on lunch. My boyfriend works from home about 2-3 days per week. Spacious, clean, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of room to relax and play. No crate needed, but if preferred I can accommodate. The goal is to make the fur babies feel as at home as possible.

Kimberly was an excellent sitter for my two pups while we vacationed in Newport. She was quick to respond, and kept me updated with texts and photos throughout their stay. Ruger and Finley were well taken care of, and I would recommend Kimberly to future pup parents!

Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.

We are SO glad we booked Jennifer! We needed someone to watch our dog, Sophie, over our wedding weekend, and I found Jennifer on Rover. I knew the minute I met her and her daughter that Sophie would be in great hands. They were so patient and respectful of Sophie and totally welcomed and adopted my pet-parenting preferences. Throughout the weekend, Jennifer sent me friendly text message updates with photos and news from the day, and I was able to enjoy the weekend knowing and trusting that Sophie was being cared for, that she was safe, and that she was being loved. I absolutely plan to book Jennifer again if she’s available - she was great. Thank you Jennifer!

I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.

I can’t recommend Addison enough—I’d give 10 stars. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and always responsive, which makes the entire experience stress-free. My dog Luna absolutely loves spending time with her, and it’s clear that Addison genuinely cares about the dogs. Whenever I’m away, I have complete peace of mind knowing Luna is in such great hands. Addison consistently goes above and beyond, and it really shows in how happy and comfortable Luna is when she’s with her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for your pet, Addison is the one.

Bentley and I just moved to Rhode Island, and it’s been a hard transition for him. I’ve been especially anxious about leaving him during this adjustment period, but Yunshu immediately made me feel at ease. From the start, I knew he was in good hands. She sent so many thoughtful pictures and videos, and in every single one he looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. That meant everything to me. It’s clear she truly cares and takes the time to make dogs feel safe and loved. She was wonderful with Bentley, and I’m so incredibly thankful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.

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!
