I graduated URI with my Bachelor’s Degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I am currently working on building my own business, which gives me a lot of flexibility to be able to take care of your furry family members. Safety is my number one priority. I am all about making sure my clients furry family members are comfortable and well taken care of. I want to provide the best care possible. I will take care of your Pet as if they were my own.
“Liana was fantastic! She was responsive, prompt for our meet and greet, and kept in touch with messages and photos while taking care of our senior kitty. Will definitely use her again!”
“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Beyond pet sitting, I’ve worked at an SPCA and at a zoo, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for a wide variety of animals. I also study animals professionally, so understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood is something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m a graduate student with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m generally available for dog walks in the mornings and evenings, and I have flexibility during the day depending on my class and research schedule. I’m also available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! I live on the top floor of a house with plenty of space for pets to relax and a small yard for some outdoor time. I also have a very friendly cat who loves dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a multi-animal home.
“Once again Bri was a fantastic sitter. She gave great detail in all her report cards and sent us cute photos. I always know we can trust Bri while we are away.”
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.
“Emily was very active in communicating with me and sent plenty of photos of my Bernie boy. She gave him his medications successfully and made sure he took them all. Totally recommend!”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends on and off since I can remember and always grew up around animals. I love to stay active and move but also just sit and play and take care of dogs and cats. I always seem to know just the right spot to rub with all the cute adorable dogs which is all of them! I understand that they come in all sizes and all have different personalities and I can’t wait to meet them! Spending time with any animal never seems to disappoint me and will always bring a smile to my face with their beautiful tail wags and smiling. I have been walking dogs using Wag previous to this Currently part time working and looking for extra time with some new furry friends! I love spending time outdoors and do so on my own so having a buddy is always a nice touch. Safety is a big concern animals are basically like family and I understand that their safety is a priority. I always make sure they are handled with love and care and patience.
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”
About: I have taken care of animals (mostly cats and dogs) for almost 10 years. I have helped multiple family and friends pets and are comfortable with feeding them meds, walking, and keeping them company, among many other things. Currently, pet sitting is my only job so I have tons of free time on my hands to help people out. It fills me with great joy to be able to be there for someone’s animal when they aren’t around. I prefer to keep the pets at the clients home because I know it is where they are most comfortable. I love being able to make myself comfortable while also looking after the pet.
“Elena was great with my pups! She always showed up on time and was really good at giving me updated and photos which is very important to me. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have professional dog caring experience, I am certified in pet first aid, and I work for a pet service company. I have experience with big dogs and cats, and also will administering oral medications and insulin injections. I grew up with various pets, so I can handle different types of animals. I love animals, and I will be more than happy to take care of your fur baby. I work a full time job in the morning so I have time in the evenings and weekends for visits, cuddles, feedings and dog walking. I am very attentive when walking dogs and am careful about what they do on the walk. I also always double check that the pet has everything they need before I leave the visit.
“Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to people which is why I was shocked at how quickly she warmed up to Jessica. She came home very happy and tired after their hike. You can tell how much she already loves Jessica - she even jumped up by the window to watch her leave , which she doesn’t normally do for other people. Highly recommend Jessica !”
About: I’ve cared for about 8 dogs in my life. I currently own two and all of them have been like my best friends. I also used to volunteer at a pitbull rescue for a year and a half while serving in the military. I also have a cat and have been cat sitting neighbors cats since I was 10. I am currently going to school at Rhode Island College working on my degree in Psychology and working a part time job but am always willing to make time for fur babies! I’m experienced in giving dogs medication if necessary and familiar with animals who have seizures. Most animals naturally gravitate towards me and have my whole life. I always carry dog treats with me and have so much love for all animals.
About: I have 5 precious cats that were rescued and now they are my spoiled babies. My Lucy was left on the street in a pet carrier in June of 2022 and she was pregnant. I kept her and the 3 babies because I was afraid they could go to the wrong home. They are my world I am available for overnight sitting every night of the week and full time on the weekends. We can work on a flexible schedule comfortable for you. Thank you I will follow your instructions and make sure your pets are safe. With my cats I have a daily routine of wet food in the morning and dry food during the day. I also clean their cat litter boxes every other day.
About: I plan on making a career of working with animals by opening my own daycare/boarding facility out of my farmhouse! I have worked in a couple doggy daycares as well as an animal hospital for a short time & I learned quite a lot about the proper care animals need when away from their owners! My schedule is completely open & I am readily available to whoever may need my services any day of the week at any time needed! I always care for any pet as if they were my own and I respect every animal that I get the opportunity to meet whether in my own home or someone else’s home.
About: The first time I left my dog with a rover sitter I thought "What's a polite way to tell them that if they hurt my pup, I will dunk them in a toilet?" We'll take care of your pets like they were our own, which is to say with lots of love and protection. We have two dogs here, including our volunteer concierge Ripley, who will exercise and interact with your pup as much as they'd like. She's an extremely friendly corgi/jack-russell mix, so they'll leave tired. We have a large fenced yard, plenty of toys and treats, and lots of room to play. We like to go to dog parks on weekends to keep our pups socialized, and there's always room in the car for some more buddies.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pawtucket
Eliza is absolutely wonderful with my fur babies and gave me such peace of mind while I’m at work. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I really appreciated that she never rushed her visits and stayed for the full time I booked. She takes the time to make sure my dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
Jenny gracefully cared for our elderly dog and two young, recently rescued, formerly feral kittens with expert attention to their every need and quirky behaviors! What a relief to know she was at the pet care helm. Our older gentleman dog R2D2 requires multiple medications with meals and bedtime which Jenny was happy to administer. She sent so many sweet photos of his happy face and detailed notes rich with her observations and humorous tone - the best sitter we have ever had, paws down! Our scardey kittens hid from her almost the entire time we were away but Jenny still consistently cleaned their box and set out their meals despite their reluctance to appear. Jenny even pooper scooped our yard, took out the trash, brought in the mail, turned lights on and off, opened and shut curtains, and watered our garden! What incredible, so much appreciated, service. We will never worry about our boy’s needs again with Jenny. She is so sweet, selfless, and gentle. A true gem of a sitter. Thank you, thank you, Jenny!
Grace is absolutely wonderful. She’s dependable, kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about my dogs. I’m admittedly very particular about who I trust with my babies, and with Grace, I never have to worry. I know they’re safe, well cared for, and probably being spoiled just the right amount. She treats them like they’re her own, and that kind of trust is priceless. If your pets are family and your standards for their care are high, Grace is your girl. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Grace, for taking such amazing care of my babies!
Xavier was an amazing support in such a last min bind. 🙌🏾 he showed up and was professional and got the job done with care. Especially with care, I have an older doggie and he has daily meds/ointments/diapers and non of this was too much for X he took care of our Frankie and we will be hitting him up again.
Emily is SO fabulous with my senior retired service dog Miss Lana! She is a big girl and has arthritis, but Emily knows how to help us, and even when Lana has some accidents indoors (I mean she is 15!! lol) she was so kind and cleaned up as well. She is an excellent communicator too, and takes lots of good doggy pictures for this mom who misses her girl!! Thank you Emily 💗🤩
Rachel was great!! She was on time, and so graceful figuring out some things we forgot to go over before we left (old house problems). Daisy loved her and we will def be booking again! Knowing someone caring and responsible is taking care of your pets is truly a gift when you have to be away from them. Thank you so much Rachel!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pawtucket stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pawtucket choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Pawtucket with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
