“We had Xavier come and do walks twice daily for my energetic pup during a last minute trip my family took. Xavier provided excellent communication and went above and beyond in many ways. We received pictures with every walk and questions that showed he was attentive and responsible caring for our dog.”
About: I’ve always loved all animals and say I alike them more than humans. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for years. I work hybrid so I have time throughout the week and weekends to check in on you furry family members, play, and go for walks! I always respect an animals and owners space. My goal is to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable during each visit, walk, and play session.
About: I am a PhD student at URI looking to get my pet fix!! I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, but now having a cat has made me love them almost just as much! I had a dog growing up, and have experience professionally walking dogs since 2020. I love LITERALLY every dog I have ever met, and would be honored to care for your pet whenever needed! You can be sure they will get the best possible treatment, walks, and hugs! As a former student-athlete I am super energetic and outgoing, so if a tired pupper is what you need, no problem! I'm currently in school, so my availability is pretty flexible as long as the time is not during my class schedule! Just ask and I can let you know! I have a car to go to and from client's homes, so distance is not an issue! I have experience checking in on dogs and cats, as well as dog walking!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for my own pets throughout my life and have hands-on experience as both a foster caregiver and dog trainer with service dogs in training. These experiences have taught me how to understand different personalities, needs, and behaviors while providing patience, consistency, and plenty of love. My passion for animals also led me to earn a degree in Ecology, where I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for the natural world and the animals we share it with. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, companionship, or simply some extra attention, I’m dedicated to treating them like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to care for your best friend! I also have a dog at home so I do need to care for him but other than that I’m available weekdays and weekends! When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed while their owners are away. I also take pride in being respectful of your home. I keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets have fresh water and a comfortable space, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I have cared for all varieties of domesticated animals since I was a young child. I am glad to watch all variety of pets. Can’t wait to meet yours! I work In a residential program for young mothers. Outside of that I love to be outside and enjoy most outdoor activities. I’m also very energetic and ready to play with as many animals as I can. I care for pets in my home. I will also do visits for cats who are shy about coming out, as well as pets in large enclosures which are difficult to move. I also provide foster care for homeless dogs through 2 programs here in RI. It’s a passion of mine.
“We had never gone on vacation without our 6 year old dogs before. When we planned a trip to Barcelona, this was my one hesitation. Garrett (Xinwei) removed all my apprehension. We met with him before leaving and his kind nature and caring questions gave me the confidence and security I needed to be able to go abroad without worrying about something happening to my babygirls. His every photo captured how happy my dogs were in Garrett’s company, and his daily text updates assured me that they had everything they needed. We will 100% be rebooking with Garrett. :)”
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.
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.

I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
About: I have 14 years of experience with animals, from pet sitting, dog walking, to professional settings. I've taken care of just about every animal, and I enjoy every moment of it! I've feed, bathed, walked, and even medicated animals. There isn't anything I haven't already done, and if there is, I'd be willing to learn! I'd love to help take care of your pets, and look forward to hearing from you! I currently run a small business from home, so I have an open availability. As long as I have a notice of when you need a sitter, I'll be able to be there! I have experience with everything from feeding pets to grooming. All notes left by the clients would be followed, as well as updates whenever they would like. I'm CPR/first aid certified and insured. I also have various other certifications as well!

About: I come from a family of pet lovers (dog lovers to be specific, but I don't discriminate). Dogs have been members of my family since I was a wee lass. As of now, I take care of my tiny 4-pound chihuahua who loves to sit in the sunny spots outside or bark at intruders from the safety of the couch. I like to volunteer at the local Hotel for Homeless Dogs but at the end of the day a girl's gotta eat, so here I am! I am willing to care for your pet at any time, any day of the week. I have complete availability to hang out with your pet and tend to their needs.🐾 My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in suburban Lincoln. The house is pet-friendly, complete with a large fenced backyard with lots of space to run in the grass! I live right on the Blackstone River Bikeway which provides easy access to scenic walks along the canal if you allow me to care for your pet at my address. If you provide me the opportunity to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home, I will request a complete rundown of all their needs including the spaces they are allowed to roam and places that are off limits. I'll also provide constant text and photo updates to ease your mind while you're away.
About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research, while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. I’m also available to provide pet care for weddings, birthdays, and other special or public events where your pet is part of the celebration! Whether you need help with supervision, transportation, or keeping your pet comfortable throughout the event, feel free to reach out to learn more about my services and availability. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.

About: Working from home and embracing my love of animals has been a dream come true! I have taken care of many pets through Rover, as well as animals who have belonged to family members and friends for over 9 years now. I recently bought a new home and changed locations from my co-owner prompting a new account. Through rover I have cared for a variety of pets with anxieties of every shape and form so please do not hesitate to reach out and see if i can accompany your family’s needs. In my home your pets will experience a lot of hands on time as well as daily adventures around the grassy neighborhood and sometimes to Lincoln woods(weather permitting). My yard is entirely fenced in with hedges obstructing view of the neighbors yards giving the dogs a private sanctuary to relax. You may contact me whenever to schedule a meet and greet. If you see me available to book then feel free to shoot a message as i regularly update my availability. I have never met a dog we did not like or has not loved me with time. I am also very respectful of your house rules especially those regarding your pet(s) such as what they can eat, be on, play with, etc.. i also take a plethora of pictures/videos for you to make sure you have a worry-free time away! I work from home giving me ample time to take care of pets daily. Generally speaking I am home most days playing with the dogs, watching tv, or gaming. The dogs are rarely alone. i am almost always hanging out with the dogs ready to give care and love. If they are not lounging with me then they are exploring the neighborhood or yard. I cannot think of a single dog with anxiety that hasn’t felt at home by night 2! I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood for walks containing lots of grass multiple times per day and a fenced in yard to hang out in. Minutes away from Lincoln Woods adventures and dog parks. Some days of course can be lazy days where we stay cozy and watch a movie. I’ll accommodate your preferences :) I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know about all of your dog's dietary needs, how many times a day they should be walked, how active they usually are, any anxieties they might have, and anything else that would make their stay more comfortable. Early clients shall enjoy a star sitter at discount while I build this new account. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies. I currently work from my home. Your pets will be right by my side for most of every day whether it be watching tv, playing in the yard, or going on adventures through the grassy neighborhood, parks, and Lincoln Woods. My home has an entirely fenced in yard with hedges providing a private sanctuary your your pet to relax in. The neighborhood has lots of grassy sidewalks and shade from trees.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pawtucket
Delaney is the best! She takes great care of our dog Henry on his regular walks, and we are so grateful for her help. Henry loves getting his visit from her during the day. She also takes great photos of him on their walks together. Thanks for all you do, Delaney!
Kristine is the most wonderful dog walker, and just a great person all around. She's extremely professional, always on time, communicates well and openly, and always always makes sure that Charlie's needs are her number #1 priority when he's in her care. I can't recommend her enough!
Michelle is the absolute best. She is always so professional. She has clearly been doing this for a while and has a system down. She knows dog needs and was always so great with my dog; especially after he had major surgery and required a lot more than usual. She was completely up for the task and I trusted her completely to take good care of boy. She communicates well and I never doubted she would show up to walk and feed my pup. Rudy loves her. She is truly great. Highly recommend.
Xavier took excellent care of my dog Zoey who’s 2 years old and very energetic. He provided great reports and pictures after each walk which I really appreciated. He was also flexible with scheduling and communicated clearly. I will definitely rebook with him in the future. Thank you!
I’ve had a wonderful experience with Sara! She is reliable, caring, and truly treats my pet like her own. I always feel comfortable knowing my pet is in her care, whether it’s for walks, boarding, or anything in between. She is trustworthy, attentive, and provides great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take excellent care of their pet!
Laura has been great to work with. We have a reactive dog one of three and she’s been very patient in working with him and getting him to walk on the trails. We appreciate her flexibility and she’s in frequent contact with us so that we know how the dogs are doing highly recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Pawtucket is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Pawtucket. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pawtucket after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pawtucket. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
