About: From childhood, my heart has held immense compassion and love for all furry friends!🤍🥹 I started out as a bather at a grooming facility at 14. This helped me realize the joy that I receive working with animals! I then took a program focusing on veterinary medicine, which sparked a new outlet for me to improve the lives of pets, and care for them in a different way🦋. I also worked for a veterinary emergency room in MA, where I worked alongside the amazing technicians, saving the lives of critical patients 🩺. I also worked for pet clinic at a nonprofit humane society, doing free vaccine clinics, taking in puppies & kittens that were left in harmful conditions, and giving them a chance at a beautiful and safe life with their forever family🩷. I also worked as a veterinary technician at a local animal hospital, seeing & providing veterinary care for all kinds of amazing creatures like guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, you name it!🐾 With a patience heart, and extensive experience with animals that require special attention due to medical conditions, behavioral challenges, and all their special little quirks that make them unique, you can ensure that with me, your pet is loved abundantly and in a safe environment! 🐕 🐓🐾🤍🐈⬛ 🦜 🐹 🩵 I’m currently pet sitting full time so my schedule is very open! I have a very flexible and broad schedule, with lots of time to care for your beloved pets!🩷🐾 As a diligent pet sitter, your instructions and regimens for your pet will be followed in order to mimic the amazing and unique care you give to your pet when you’re home! It can be overwhelming or difficult for your pet to acclimate to a new person in their environment. My approach is to make them feel like they are still safe, still loved, and still getting the same meals, treats, and exercise they get when you’re home. Feeding them at the same times, making sure they get those rewards when they do a great job, and any special instructions you provide will be followed with care.
About: I’ve had a family dog for the past ten years (a b+w cockatoo named Oreo) and now I am in grad school without him. I am a student so I have flexible hours to walk and spend time with your pets! I am a student so I have flexible weekday and weekend hours to take care of your pets. I am a runner, so I enjoy spending time outside and navigating to nearby places. I am careful to keep my clients pet and home safe and secure. I understand that trust is a high priority in our working relationship.
About: Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and animals. In my own home, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, including a Black Labrador and a French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. I’ve also looked after my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, including a senior dog who needed medicine administered and special care. This also includes cats, dogs, birds, and bearded dragons. I truly adore all animals (except mosquitos! lol) and consider it a privilege to care for them. I value honesty, reliability, and quality treatment for both people and animals alike. This is why five star service is guaranteed when you book with me 😊 I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm. I usually keep my nights and weekends free for any bookings. I will care for your pet inside your home by of course being respectful of your space, making sure any unsafe foods or items are out of reach, all gates or fences are closed to ensure they don’t escape, their food/medicine is on time and prepared *EXACTLY* as instructed. I can also promise snuggles, play time, and plenty of attention!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. Experience with: walking reactive dogs, caring for dogs with separation anxiety, basic positive reinforcement training, and comfortable to provide any special dietary needs. Snuggles and play time included! I am available for in home care and walks Saturdays Through Mondays. I am available Sundays and Mondays all day, and Mondays through Saturdays after 3 o’clock pm. I am flexible with instructions, and I am detail oriented. I can be as particular, or as laid back as you’d like! I am proactive and want you and your pet to feel safe and cared for.
About: Just a registered nurse looking to walk some dogs on her days off! After years of caring for people, I am combining my compassion and responsibility to help with your pets! I am a full time registered nurse. I work three 12 hour shifts and then have four days off during the week so my schedule is very open and flexible. Fresh water at all times. I also make sure nothing is easily accessible to dogs like medications, food, etc. Animals are always closely monitored, especially if more than one are present.
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and chickens. While I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, I'm most experienced with large dogs, and have no problem managing pups who weigh well over a hundred pounds. I also have experience training puppies, and am currently learning the basics of canine massage. Around me, your fur baby will always be happy, well-loved, and protected! I'm currently unemployed outside of pet-sitting and dog walking, so my schedule is generally pretty open. Most of my availability is in the morning and early afternoon, but I'm quite flexible as it relates to scheduling. Please let me know if you require my services outside of my typical hours, and I'll be happy to try and accommodate you! When taking clients on walks, I'm careful to ensure their safety and comfort. I often bring booties with me to protect their feet on hot days, and make sure I'm stocked up on water and pet parent-compliant treats before embarking on walks. While walking, I let dogs sniff around as much as they like, and provide a gentle guiding hand and a vigilant eye to protect them from harm. Before I leave, I check to make sure all entrances are locked in order to maintain the safety of my clients and their home.
About: I’ve been a dog dad to Nova, my 4.5-year-old Lab, since she was a puppy. I work from home, so I’m with her pretty much 24/7 and have gotten very tuned in to the little cues dogs give when they need something, whether it’s a walk, attention, or just a little space. I also regularly watch dogs for family and friends, so I’m used to handling different personalities, routines, and energy levels. Whether it’s a laid-back senior dog or a high-energy pup, I adjust to what they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I treat every dog like I would my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of play if they’re up for it. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or just keeping your dog company, I’ve got you covered. I work from home, so I have some flexibility during the day to fit in walks or drop-in visits, especially in the late mornings or early afternoons. While I can’t be available at every hour, I do have enough wiggle room in my schedule to reliably show up when needed and give your pet quality time and attention. Very open and flexible on weekends when I have notice. If your dog has a regular routine or certain times they’re used to, I’ll do my best to work with that. Just give me a heads-up and we can figure out what works. When I’m caring for a dog in someone else’s home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect I’d expect if it were my own. I always make sure doors are securely closed, gates are locked, and routines are followed exactly as requested. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level and never push them into anything they’re not ready for. Whether it’s giving them space to warm up or making sure they get enough play and attention, I adjust based on their personality and needs. Clean-up, basic tidiness, and clear communication are always part of the deal — you’ll come home to a happy dog and everything just as you left it.
About: I previously worked for Wag! Dog Walking and Sitting, and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have performed many dog walks and cared for dogs in my home as well as in the owners' home. I love giving them lots of love and attention. I have taken care of a variety of animals, from small dog breeds, large dog breeds, lizards, bunnies, and cats. I am organized, prompt, and professional. I have my own transportation, and am very reliable. I grew up with two Scottish Terriers and a Bearded Dragon, and have loved animals all of my life. I’m currently a part time substitute teacher, so I am available on weekends and some days during the week. I am also available most evenings! I have my own transportation, and I am prompt and reliable. Keeping your pet safe and happy is my number one goal! I look forward to helping care for your pets.
“Sophie was fantastic! We were in a bind and she was so wonderful helping us out for the weekend. My pups loved her and were so content when we got home. Thank you so much!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with a family dog, which gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my family dog, I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine, respecting their unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to providing attentive care, regular updates, and plenty of affection so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. During the school year, I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekdays after 5:00 p.m. and throughout the weekends. During the summer, I have significantly more flexibility and availability, allowing me to dedicate even more time to pet care. No matter the season, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet receives the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I always communicate with owners and follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), and any other special care their pet may need. In my home, pets have a comfortable environment with a spacious living room for playtime and a separate room where they can relax or have quiet time if needed. My apartment also has convenient dog relief areas, and there are several nearby parks where dogs can enjoy safe walks, exercise, and fresh air. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease.
About: I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine passion to every pet I care for. I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters for around 8 years, regularly walking and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I’ve had dogs of my own for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets at every stage of life — from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have always had a deep love and patience for animals. I truly care for every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I understand how to adapt my approach whether it’s high-energy playtime, structured walks, or calm companionship. I am looking for weekday stop-ins and walks, along with weekend stays, that will fit around my graduate school schedule at Brown University. Hours are relatively flexible. I love ALL animals from the top to the bottom of my heart, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“We felt extremely comfortable with Annemarie after we initially met her and knew our pups were going to be in safe hands. We received detailed updates and photos with each drop in! She did a great job and will definitely use her services in the future.”

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)
“Neriah is amazing with our puppy Ricky! She is communicative, friendly, and reliable! She provides us with pictures and updates for each drop in which is appreciated. She clearly really knows our pup and loves what she does!”

“It was the first time we called on Stuart to walk Clare, not just once, but twice in a day, and we’re glad we did. Stuart was conscientious from the start, offering to stop by the day before we needed him to meet us and Clare. We highly recommend him!”

“Boa was great very flexible and understanding considering our circumstances. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a good pet sitter. We will be using her again in the future.”

“Justina was EXCELLENT. She was very communicative and prompt. She treated my cat very well and kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I will definitely be reaching out next time I am out of town!”

About: I bring 7 years of hands-on pet care experience and a genuine love for dogs of all ages. I’ve trained a puppy from 6 weeks to 6 months, fostered a medical-recovery pup healing from a broken leg, and cared for senior dogs with hip challenges. I also have experience giving multiple daily medications, including administering over six pills a day for a foster pup during her recovery. I’m confident, patient, and calm in any situation. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle support, medication help, or extra snuggles, I provide personalized, reliable care that keeps every pup feeling safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m already active and love being around animals. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to handle walks, drop-ins, and consistent care. I make sure your pet gets reliable attention, playtime, and comfort!! Safety is always my first priority, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s routine exactly, feeding, walks, medications, and any house rules, so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep a close eye on behavior, use positive reinforcement, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. In your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean, calm, and consistent so your pet can relax and feel safe.
About: I've had a dog in my life for the major majority of it. I've had 2 Shitzus, a German Shephard and an Akita. Quite the range. I traveled across the country with an Akita and that was such a great experience. I am very patient by nature and will care for you furry friend and give them all my attention and love. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. There are 3, sometimes 4 days a week where I’d be away for 6-7 hours. I like to be as transparent on everything. I’m not concerned about the dog having an accident in the house, it’s more of making sure they won’t be overly stressed out or anxious at that amount of time. I have a very secure fenced in yard that your pet will enjoy. There is a park directly across the street as well and I will also walk your dog around the Elmhurst neighborhood. I have a modest sized home with hardwood floors. Your pup is allowed on the furniture if its ok with you. A tired dog is a happy dog and I plan to play with your dog inside and outside the home. Your dog(s) or cat(s) will be my top priority. Other than work a few days a week which is stated above I’d be spending plenty of time playing and relaxing with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and live in a safe neighborhood. I have outdoor camera security system as well. I will take great care of your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
Cailey took Fletcher for two walks while I was at work. He's an anxious dog, and I was nervous, but he warmed up to her within minutes at the meet-and-greet. She sent photos throughout the day, including Fletcher relaxing in his bed and while out on their walk, which gave me real peace of mind. I'll absolutely be booking her again, and I would especially recommend her for owners of nervous dogs.

Our dogs really enjoyed their time with Grace. Grace had an ease around them, quickly developed rapport and was attuned to their different personalities and needs. Communication was clear and if any issues emerged Grace was pro-active in reaching out. We would definitely use Grace again and would recommend her services to friends. A good solid, reliable and caring individual.

Maya took such good care of our dog while we were away. She was thorough in reading through all the care instructions I sent over and followed everything to a t. She sent plenty of pictures & provided regular updates. Our dog loved her & seemed to enjoy all her visits! We will definitely hire Maya 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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Providence 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
