“Natalia was great about sending pictures and videos of my dog while I was away. It was our first time leaving her and she helped put my mind at ease, and it made my kids happy to know their dog was well taken care of!”
“Oliver was so well taken care of. I got many updates and pics. Lots of exercise and love was given. They were super easy to communicate with as well and were flexible about drop off time to accommodate my work schedule. I will definitely be using them again.”
About: With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue and a lifetime of owning dogs, caring for animals is our family’s true passion. I have successfully managed pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs, giving us the insight to handle any situation. To provide the safest and most relaxing stay, I exclusively board one family's pets at a time. This ensures your dog gets personalized, individual care tailored exactly to their routine. Your pup will join our loving family—including my two dog-savvy kids (ages 8 and 9) and our sweet 1-year-old mixed breed, Winnie. Whether your dog thrives on quiet snuggles or loves joining us for car rides, pup cups, and hikes in the woods, we treat them just like a member of our own pack! I own my own business and work flexible part-time hours, so I can be home to provide plenty of love, play, and supervision. On the weekends, I am entirely free and dedicated to our guest pups, only stepping out briefly for our kids' sports events. Because I exclusively host one dog or one family of dogs at a time, I do not force your pets into a rigid routine. Instead, I completely tailor our daily schedule around your dog's typical feeding, playtime, and bathroom habits, ensuring they feel safe, pampered, and right at home. Safety and trust is my top priority. With nearly 20 years of experience in animal rescue, I am well-versed in canine body language, flight-risk prevention, and handling diverse medical or behavioral needs. My home sits on two acres of very secluded, peaceful property backing up to beautiful conservation land. While the yard is not fenced, this means your dog is never just left outside unsupervised; instead, I provide dedicated, hands-on attention with structured leash walks for all outdoor time. Because I exclusively host one family's pets at a time, your dog will never face the stress, unpredictable behaviors, or resource-guarding risks that come with a multi-dog pack setup. They will only share space with our gentle, dog-savvy children and our friendly, 1-year-old resident pup, Winnie.
“Marcia took wonderful care of our senior puppy while we were away and then delayed 2 days due to flight cancelations. She was so accommodating! We knew our dog was safe and in very good hands! We can’t thank her enough!”
“Julie was awesome with our golden retriever. She took him on multiple walks and kept us posted on all his adventures. I would book with her again, and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter”
“Erin took great care of Lily during a four-night stay (and Lily’s first boarding in a good few years). Lily seemed comfortable and settled quickly, and Erin was very accommodating of her particular habits—including adjusting her schedule on the first day so Lily wouldn’t be left alone in an unfamiliar place, and being patient with her reluctance to go very far on walks when I’m away. I received photos and updates during the stay and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Erin also very kindly brought Lily home at the end of the booking. I’d be very comfortable having Lily stay with her again.”
“We were looking for a place to board our special needs Golden and stumbled upon the River app. It was our first time boarding him and we didn’t want to leave him at a kennel. Parker took to Heather right away when we went for our initial visit, and enjoyed exploring one of the many fenced in areas of her property. Her experience with animals, particularly ones of the special needs variety, was what drew me to her. She kept me updated on how Parker was doing (response time was fast) and sent pictures of him on vacation at the farm!! Parker loved staying with her, and will be back again!!”
“Tammy was fantastic! She provided us with daily updates along with photos of Lulu. I left her with 2 pages of care guidelines and she followed them all. We were in NYC for the weekend and when I told her the train number and time of arrival she even met us at the station with Lulu waiting for us! 5 stars I would use her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Left my puppy with Erica for 4 nights. Needed her to stay an additional night and Erica was able to accommodate and take her! Never have to worry when my puppy is with her! Always getting updates and pictures of my puppy. We will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Rory took care of our pup for 5 nights and he had the best time! Rory was very accommodating to our pet who loves a good mix of play time and snuggles. She sent us pictures everyday and was always quick to respond to any of my messages. She treated our dog like her own and showed him all kinds of love while we were gone. Rory was great!”
“Would 100% request Anita again. I'm am touched by her care for my pups, the daily updates, and shared media. I lucked out with her😭. I'm so glad coco played well with her dog 😍”
“Rebecca was a great host for Dottie! She had her own space to stretch out in and all the toys and comfortable spots she needed. Rebecca was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely rebook! :)”
“Kat is absolutely fantastic!!! Our dogs had a great stay with her, she even sent us pictures and videos of our boys each day! Kat is so nice, her home is so welcoming to dogs and she is incredibly responsive!! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Our dog had a great time with Emilee and her family. Emilee was very attentive to our boy's specific needs. Emilee was very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates and photos during his visit. We look forward to using Emilee for pet sitting services in the future!”
“Superb! Mary was very welcoming to my dog and provided her lots of affectionate attention during her visit. Additionally, Mary was very accomodating to my schedule which was very helpful. I highly recommend Mary!!”
“Kaylee seemed to really enjoy her time with Steve and Christine! They took great care of her and handled her meds while we were gone. She was so relaxed, she barely noticed that we had arrived to pick her up.”
“Courtney is super nice and kept contact with me through out the day when I asked for updates and sent pictures. My dog loved being with her and we can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Courtney!”
“Jenna and Michael took such good care of our dog while we were away. They sent photos, videos, and updates. He was having so much fun and was exhausted when we picked him up. They treated him like their own!”

I love to be outside and get exercise with pets I follow all the rules of the pet owners household and keep a good eye on the pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Providence
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!
Rachel has cared for my cat several times and is always my first choice when I need someone to care for my cat. She is communicative, dependable, thoughtful, and I love getting pictures and updates while I’m away. Most importantly, Rachel is wonderful with my cat! I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in Rachel’s care. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a fantastic cat sitter!
Erin took great care of Lily during a four-night stay (and Lily’s first boarding in a good few years). Lily seemed comfortable and settled quickly, and Erin was very accommodating of her particular habits—including adjusting her schedule on the first day so Lily wouldn’t be left alone in an unfamiliar place, and being patient with her reluctance to go very far on walks when I’m away. I received photos and updates during the stay and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Erin also very kindly brought Lily home at the end of the booking. I’d be very comfortable having Lily stay with her again.
We can’t say enough good things about Eliza! She took Marvin in with such short notice, it was impressive. The handoff was super easy and Eliza was very communicative; sharing photos and videos of Marvin. These were great action shots! Not only that, but she was very flexible when plans changed due to a flight change. We highly recommend her and will be bringing Marvin back whenever we need a sitter!
Tammy was a total lifesaver. My original sitter canceled 2 days before my trip to Europe and Tammy opened her schedule up to take my Ziggy! She treated his so well and sent me updates to see how happy he was! I think he enjoyed his vacation too! I will absolutely be working with her again and couldn’t recommend her more!
She was great with my cat! My cat can be a little shy and doesn’t warm up to new people easily, but she was very patient and gave her the space she needed. I really appreciated how understanding and gentle she was. It was reassuring knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her! ❤️
Anne has been amazing! This was our second time having Piko stay with her, and we couldn’t be happier. She sends us pictures and updates every day, which gives us so much peace of mind. She’s also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and is incredibly sweet and accommodating. Most importantly, Piko absolutely is comfortable staying with her! I completely trust Anne with Piko and feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️
Remi spent 2 nights with Kae and her family—the first time my 2-year-old pup stayed overnight with anyone. He had a great time! How do I know? He was in her arms when she opened the door. Glad to see me but not frantic to get at me. Content. Bright-eyed. Will definitely ask again if he can stay with Kae. Thank you!!
