House Sitting in Providence

“I couldn't recommend Jen more! I knew from previous experience working with her that she was great with animals and there was no one better to trust my animals with. I have an anti-social husky who most people want to pet and interact with right away but Jen was so good about listening to me about her behaviors and respecting her space. She was able to read her body language well to know when she did and did not want to interact and was just understanding of her needs. I trust very few people with my pets and Jen is one of them!”

“Nicole did a really great job with our boys! She went above and beyond and even bought them doggy ice cream because of the hot weather. I’d recommend her to any of my friends or family. She always replied to my messages super quickly, and provided updates along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggies in our space!”

“Maria is so kind and thoughtful with both the pet and pet parent. She has a gentle nature that’s great for pets with anxiety. I would be happy to work with her again.”

Isabel P.

“We are so grateful we met Kaitlyn! She took amazing care of our little Lucy and our home over the long weekend. She was very kind, patient and understanding, and helped ease our anxiety as new dog owners and having to leave our brand new baby for a few days. We will definitely ask for her help again!”

Karoline G.

“Kija is the best! She took great care of our pup in our home while we were away for two weeks. She sent lots of updates of walks and snuggles. She also took great care of our space and left things spotless for us to come home to. I would trust Kija any day with my pup! Thanks again!!”

Taylor H.

“Everything was super smooth and easy. Wonderful communication, as we received updates and pics. Our two pups were so relaxed when we arrived home and it was good to know they were in good care. Will be booking more dates with Zana very soon!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Mitchell was excellent with our pup!!! He took great care of her and was very communicative throughout his stay. We will definitely book with Mitchell again!”

Melanie S.

“This was my 2nd time using Rover.com. Wow, what can I say. Jackie is just awesome. She is kind, attentive, and she follows instructions very well. She communicates well, and put my mind at ease while on vacation. I am looking forward to using her again soon!”

Tabia B.

“Chantel has great communication skills and left my home just how I left it. I really felt like my puppy was taken care of. Will be booking again.”

Finnella T N M.

“Amy was amazing! She took incredible care of my 4 little ones, including my special needs dog, while I traveled for a long, stressful weekend. She gave regular updates and clearly cared for my pets like her own. I couldn’t be happier!”

Michael H.

“This is our second time using Michael. Michael did a great job with our babies once again. He kept them busy with going to the park and walks. Thank you so much”

Cherinna H.

“Amanda was awesome! She took great care of my senior dogs and left my home cleaner than it was when I left for vacation. Amanda communicated with me during my trip to let me know the pups were ok and even picked up a few toys for my sweet boy. Will definitely work with Amanda again!”

Amanda H.

“Peter spent two nights at our house with our dog and cat, and he was great! He sent pictures, updated us each day on how things were going, and left the house spotless. We'd definitely be happy to have Peter petsit for us again.”

Gabrielle B.

“She was patient with my small pomchi. My dog is not very friendly but she just needs time to adjust. Patricia was very patient and waited until they became friends”

Artjona L.

“Mariah was a great dog sitter while we were away for a long weekend. She was here over the Thanksgiving holiday and we were so lucky to have her! Both dogs were well cared for and happy and the house was immaculate as well. It's a lot of responsibility to care for someone's home and pets and Mariah easily accepted my instructions and requests. We will definitely have her back again.”

Robin F.

“Danielle was amazing! This was our first time using rover with two young dogs and she took the time to come over before to meet them and explain how rover worked. We received many updates and pictures and came home to two very happy dogs.”

Madelyn Z.

“Our second stay with Tiffany and once again she provided outstanding care for our girl, Molly. Tiffany is so engaging and so loving in her time with Molly. We got regular updates and photos showing how much she loves her time with Tiffany. We can go away and know that Molly is in great hands!”

Anthony V.

“Lillian was great!!! We had absolutely zero issues. She came in time and took amazing care of our dog. And stayed later then expected to minimize dog time being alone before our arrival. We got constant communication with pictures and updates about Mozart. I’d totally recommend Lillian as a pet care giver. We will definitely stay in touch and use her services again and again. Without Lillian our vacation would not be as good as it turned out to be. She really provided us a peace of mind.”

About: I have taken care of pets for most of my life, (dogs and cats).. Our last dog lived to be almost 17 due to great care and love. I welcome any pets. i will care for them as they are mine. I am a retired nurse practitioner and home most hours of each day. We live in a dog walking community and close to parks ideal for long walks. Loch Raven Reservoir is close to our home with many great trails. I have a fenced yard with a pool. I would not leave any dog alone in the yard, our neighborhood is great for walking. I will only take pets friendly to children.
