1. Zoe M.
“Zoe is great; she’s very good with communicating and friendly as always. She’s watched our pups several times now and it gives us peace of mind while we’re away. It takes time for our fussy pups to warm up to people and they like Zoe. If they’re happy, we are happy!”
2. Stevie-Rae W.
“Our dog had a great time with Stevie! We recently moved to the area and are so glad we found Stevie on Rover. She was a great communicator and made us feel comfortable leaving town knowing Piper was in good hands ❤️🐾.”
3. Sydney M.
“Sydney did a great job looking after our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was communicative and kept us posted on how things were going. Would definitely hire her again!”
4. Margaret C.
“Margaret was kind, professional, and great with our animals. Having only ever had very "okay" experiences with pet sitters in the recent past, it is so refreshing to say that we found someone who made it very easy to feel as though our fur family was in great hands and our pets very clearly felt comfortable with her out of the gate. She sent daily updates and kept our dogs very active which we loved. I can't recommend her services enough!”
5. Jamie A.
“Jamie has watched my dog multiple times while I’ve been out of town, and she’s just wonderful! He’s usually really shy and apprehensive of new people, but he’s very comfortable with her. She’s super flexible, and cares for our dog like he’s her own. I’d highly recommend!”
6. Lisa P.
“Lisa was wonderful. Gave my Bear her complete attention and lots of genuine TLC. Followed all instructions and left me a wonderful note summarizing the weekend. I can say she is trustworthy, reliable, mature, and truly loves animals and her job. I can't recommend her highly enough. ???”
7. Jordan D.
“Jordan is wonderful with animals. With his own dog, Moose, he is patient and very committed to having a well trained dog. Jordan treats his dog and all dogs alike as if they are apart of the family. I highly recommend using his services!”
8. James P.
“James was a great sitter for our two goldens!! He was communicative, flexible, and great with the boys (who can be a handful). Would definitely recommend James for your dog sitting needs!”
9. Emily D.
“Emily was an incredible sitter for our chiweenie, Max. He’s a very anxious dog and she was able to not only calm him but make him her bestie in five short days. We appreciated having her in our home: she is neat, punctual and took great care of our space. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
10. Elizabeth Ann H.
“Elizabeth took great care of our dog while we were traveling and kept up constant communication. We know he was loved and well looked after. We would highly recommend her and plan to book again!”
11. Olivia M.
“Olivia has a lot of experience with dogs; she is loving and wonderful with them. Olivia is responsible and communicates well throughout the sitting experience. Our dog is always excited to see her. I trust her completely and would not hesitate to hire her.”
12. Megan S.
“Megan is amazing with dogs! She’s very patient and tends to their needs first always! She’s a dog mom to two fur babies and is one of the best dog parent I’ve ever met! I highly recommend her to everyone!!!”
13. Lauren Q.
About: I am a resident of Newport, RI and spend most of my day walking on the Cliff Walk and spending time in Morton park. While doing this, I always enjoy seeing the many dogs in the area and wish to have my own. I am upbeat, energetic and always looking to be active which I think is the perfect match for any dog! I am also reliable, honest, and always trying to go above and beyond. I can ensure that any dog would be happy to spend its day with me! I have years of experience as a dog owner and sitter and true lover of dogs. Due to my new residence I do not have my own dog and would love to get some furry friends back into my life! I currently work from home so I have lots of flexibility and time to care for dogs during the day and on weekends. I am able to work on a consistent schedule as well as drop in as needed. I have lots of experience walking dogs correctly and keeping both of us safe. I am aware to check for water levels in the home as well items that could be dangerous if left out while the dog is home alone.
14. Christian O.
About: Have 10+ years of caring for dogs. I have had three for 5 years and then 2 for the last 5, and have two more with me while at college. Dog lover, super responsible, dog's care comes first. I also have a vehicle and can transport dogs if there is an emergency. I am very dog friendly and love to take them for walks, play fetch, or just run around with active dogs, and I also love to hang out and be company for older, less active dogs.
15. Cherie D.
“100% recommend. Five Stars across the board for: 1) Professionalism - she is responsive, flexible, reliable, and extremely easy to work with. 2) Quality of care - she kept our dog active, made sure that she had fun, and of course, made sure that she was safe; 3) Communicative - she gave us great updates during our trip which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying (in fact, I think our dog almost had a better vacation than we did!)”
16. Emeline M.
“Emeline was amazing! My dogs loved her and so did I. She sent pictures and message and kept us up to date on how they were doing. I always felt stress free!”
17. colleen B.
“Orca warmed up to Colleen immediately, and Orca has always been a great judge of character. Colleen kept in close contact with us by text and photo.”
18. Rachael G.
“Communicated throughout the day and send photos. Excellent job.”
19. Caroline K.
About: I have been trusted to take care of pets for 12+ years. I love all animals and treat them as my own. I can’t wait to meet new furry friends! I have a flexible work from home schedule which makes mornings, afternoons, evenings and late night routines possible. I am also available on weekends and some holidays. I am able to care for pets in your own home - this includes overnight stays. I have two dogs of my own and understand going above and beyond safety standards.
20. Grace P.
About: I have experience professionally dog walking, pet sitting, and experience taking care of cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, exotic birds, and chickens. Pets are our family and I am prepared to treat them as such! I will make sure that your furry (or feathery) friends are well taken care of, loved, and safe while with me, whether it be a housesit, drop in visit, or walk. No requests are too much! I know we all want the best service for our pets and I am prepared to give that :) since I am now on summer break, I am fully flexible. Since I am new to this app I have lots of room for new clients, but availability will narrow with time! I am experienced in larger dogs along with many cats, and therefore I am able to provide adequate playtime, attention, food, and positive interactions with both species.
