“Kathy did a wonderful job looking after our Ollie (9 month old American Cocker Spaniel). She is very kind and patient! We enjoyed receiving photos of their visit and Ollie was a happy boy.”


“Amanda was always on time, reliable, personable and good with our cats. We asked her to also administer medication for one of our cats with FIC and she was able to accommodate no problem. On top of the great work she did making sure our cats stayed fed, hydrated and litter boxes cleaned, she also took in some packages that were outside while we were away and made sure to communicate with us during every visit, including sending pictures. You will not regret booking with Amanda, and we will be in good hands if Amanda wishes to watch our cats again in the future!”


“Ryan did an awesome job taking care of our cat and I would entrust him with our cat again. He was professional, punctual, and communicative and made sure our cat gets enough playtime and attention.”



“Kimberly was awesome!! We were in a last minute pinch to find a petsitter for our two cats and she was happy to take on the job. Her response time was excellent, she was communicative with her visits, and she sent us pictures every time. This was our first experience using Kimberly and we definitely plan on using her for the future!”


About: I’ve had my own black lab for the past 11 years, which sparked my love for dogs. Over the past year, I’ve also provided pet care for families in my neighborhood and am now looking to expand and help even more pet owners I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, typically from 4 PM to 8 PM, 2-3 days a week. I’m also a full-time college student at Roger Williams University with classes 3-4 days a week but want to give most of my job focus towards rover during the school year. Whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I stick to their regular routines as closely as possible—this includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I always keep communication open with the owner to provide updates and peace of mind. I don’t typically take my dog for a walk since we have a huge backyard that he can roam around in, but dog walks is something I would really like to explore more in and would love to do.

“Emma was super friendly and communicative. We unfortunately had to cancel our rover visit last minute though she made the effort to come over ahead of time to meet our cat and take notes on what she needed. We definitely look forward to utilizing her services in the future!”

“Isabel is so sweet! She helped me last minute and also accommodated a virtual meet and greet for me. I had a repair man in my apartment while I was away and she voluntarily stayed to keep an eye on things and give my cat more loving. Thank you Isabel!!”

About: I have experience caring for and walking multiple large dogs at once. I have also cared for elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I like to learn every dogs needs and behaviors so they feel safe when in my care. I’m a professional volleyball player home for the summer so my hours are very open! I am very active and can take your dogs for nice long walks. I respect the owners space and their recommendations for pet care. I make sure to understand the space so the animals feel safe when I enter their home and so I know where all their necessities are.

“Jen took care of my pet rabbit for a week and a half and I could not have asked for a better caretaker! From feeding to exercise, Jen was on top of it! I especially appreciated how great her communication was--she always promptly responded and sent photos every day. At one point Annie ran out of food and Jen had no problem going out for more and she even cleaned up her cage! Jen is easily the best sitter I've had on Rover and is my #1 choice in the area!”


About: Ever since I was a kid, I have been animal obsessed! I was always the neighborhood pet sitter and I grew up with animals of all kinds. I am a rescue animal lover, so I have plenty of experience with behavioral issues and anxious pets. I have owned animals of all ages and can handle whatever special needs they may have. I am self-employed, so I am able to create a flexible schedule for myself. I am able to schedule my clients around your pets needs. Also, I am an early riser, so early morning walks/check ins won’t scare me away! I have been called a “hovering mother.” I always know where my pets are and what they are doing. You can expect the same for your pet, when it is in my care. Safety is my number one priority!

“Vanessa went above and beyond for her check in today with my dogs! She put up with me being a neurotic dog mom, updated me and stayed in contact the whole walk with them. 10/10 recommend. It’s always comforting to find someone reliable and who is genuinely looking out for your dogs like they’re her own. I shared my concerns and she got me. Everything went perfect and I’m happy my energetic puppy is tuckered out! Followed all instructions for me”

About: I have had many different pets since I was a child, taking care of a lot them. I have watched up to 3 dogs at a time, with ease. Currently I have a dog, cat, and bunny, so I’m well versed in taking care of different animals. On the daily, I have to feed and give water to my cat and bunny. On a more weekly basis, I clean my cat’s litter box and also clean my bunny’s cage. I am attentive to my pet’s ensuring all their needs are taken care of. I love to spend time with them whenever possible, as well.

About: I have always been around dogs since I was born, whether it be pets of friends, neighbors, or my own. I have had countless experiences with cats as well through friends and family, and know how to entertain, walk, feed, and connect with furry friends of all sizes. I love to maintain an active lifestyle, and will always try to compete with your pet to see who has the most energy, but if they are more laid back, I can assure you that your pet will receive plenty of love! I love animals and being around them, and I know what it is like to leave a pet in someone else's care. Your pet's well-being is my top priority! I am currently taking a gap year between college and post-grad opportunities. I have availability on most days from early morning to around 5:00 pm. If needed, I am open to late nights as well, as long as I am asked in advance. I can't wait to meet your furry companion! I love pets! I like to make the most of my time and maintain an active lifestyle, and hope to engage in activities such as walking, playing, and simply just spending time with your pets. However, I also enjoy a more chill cuddle or lazy day. I am very patient and considerate and am good at adjusting to my environment. I currently do not have my own, but am familiar with being around and caring for animals in their own homes, and am very understanding of any rules an individual may have when it comes to their furry friend. My main priority is the well-being of your pet, and making sure they are as comfortable and have as much fun as possible!


About: I have been caring for dogs and other animals for most of my life. I started when I was 13 and have never stopped. I have a rescue of my own and view her as part of my family; I know exactly what it means to care for pets on a daily basis. I believe that trust between the owner, pet, and carer is so important, and will do my best to make you feel confident your furry family member is taken care of correctly and with lots of love. I also have training and confidence-building experience with all ages and personalities. I only use positive-based training methods. I am comfortable with reactive dogs! I am comfortable with fearful or nervous dogs. I can give medication or potty-train, no problem. I currently stay at home and would be solely dedicated to caring for your pups! I have no obligations that would interfere with any schedules or timely needs that you or your pet may have. I am very flexible! I have a very friendly dog at home, however, she does go to work with my partner some days. My dog is high-energy and goes for long walks with lots of sniffing! She also gets 1-2 hours of exercise in a large fenced-in yard of a family member every day. If your dog is high energy we can meet those needs! (Don't worry low-energy dogs, I see you too & you can snooze as much as you want to)

“Amy gets an A+! There are so many kind caretakers working with Rover, that it was a little hard to know where to start! I have a cat - and I saw Amy's pictures with kitties. I could see that she just radiates love and caring to the cat in the photo... and I was not disappointed when she met my cat - same big caring!”
