“Sent me pictures of my puppy and kept me updated! Loved how she took my puppy for walks and let her run in the fenced in backyard. Will definitely use her again! She was friendly and communicated!”


“I had a last minute emergency and Erica came through for us. Very kind and loving family. It is obvious how much affection they have for animals. Daisy did great and I never worried about her for a moment. It was a good experience for us.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”

“We had to make last minute plan changes and Yunshu was very helpful and accommodating. Sent lots of pictures and was very attentive to Milo. Thank you for taking care of Milo!”

“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!”

“Celina was wonderful. She made Maui's time with her and her pup Smokey, so great. Big yard, plenty of room to run and snuggle time when inside. She also made it easier to leave Maui with her wonderful personality and openess to let Maui do things on her timetable. She was very good at sharing photos and videos of Maui's time with her. I will use her services whenever I have to step out of town and not have to worry about my little pupper.”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel! I’m 26 years old and currently live with my fiancé Connor and our three-year old cat, Finn in Barrington, RI. I have owned dogs my entire life and have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets when they needed it. Animals are my greatest passion so I’m very excited to see what opportunities Rover brings! I have a lot of experience dog walking and dog sitting on Rover when I was in college in New York City. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m available early morning and late afternoon / evening and weekends for dog walking and boarding. My work schedule is flexible and I can usually stop at home on lunch to check in. We have a friendly cat to keep your pet company and plenty of space for your pup to run around outside and in! We also live close to a dog park and the beach. We frequent the East Bay Bike Path often for walks and bike rides which we’d love your pet to join us on!
“I felt very confident that Sassy would be well taken care of at Nadias and she was. I will definitely use her again in the future. She was very communicative sent pictures. Best of all I think Sassy had a ball. She enjoyed playing w/Nadia's 2 dogs. And she loved having Nadia's kids to play with also. She has a big beautiful back yard for the dogs to play in. I highly recommend Nadia.”

“Kyleigh B is very attentive and she sent me lots of great pictures of my Jack. I would not hesitate boarding Jack with Kyleigh again. Jack got lots of cuddles and play time, and my husband and I were very appreciative of her attention to Jack.”

“Joseph was amazing! Joseph went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs. He sent me photos and video’s daily and alerted me when my Georgia was scratching a bit and followed up by cleaning her ears and then bathed them. I would absolutely recommend Joseph and his dogs are the sweetest.”

“Hailey was great! She watched our 2 yr old Charlie girl while we were in Newport for a night. Charlie loved her dog Henri which helped her settle in. Hailey sent lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely book her again!”

“Leanne and Michael were amazing! They took great care of our senior dog and sent tons of updates and pictures while we were away. I truly appreciate the care they took with our dog. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends!”


“Jessica was AMAZING with Rondo! She is super flexible with scheduling, pick up and drop off which we are so thankful for. It was our first time in a long time boarding our pup, but Jessica put us at ease when we met her and Abu at the meet and greet. They are both so sweet!! She provided us with updates and photos consistently and overall was an A+. Highly recommended her for all your boarding and pet sitting needs!!”

“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”

“K usually takes our pup on walks weekly, but we decided to have her watch our pup overnight for a few days while we were on vacation. K took great care of our pup and sent us tons of updates. Our pup had so much fun with her and her son!”


“Mary is great! Both of our girls love going to her house. She also is very caring of the animals she takes care of. If something is wrong she is awesome at communicating. We have already booked with Mary two different times. She is definitely someone I would recommend and someone we will be using again! Thank you so much Mary!”

Nicole was amazing! My dog sometimes can be a little nervous with sitters/sleepovers but he felt comfortable almost immediately with Nicole. I came to pick him up, and he was almost reluctant to leave, lol. I would absolutely recommend Nicole to other pet owners (just not when I need to use her 😉)
