Brittany was great and very flexible with the booking. My cat Finn doesn't warm up to new people very well but within 2 visits, he and Brittany were pretty much best friends. She sent updates, pictures, and gave me the confidence that she was taking great care of Finn.

We are absolutely thrilled to have found Rich (Kemba) for our American Bulldog, George. Our meet & greet was off to a slow start, as George is not always friendly to new people. Kemba and his wife Sandra, however, we so amazingly patient, understanding and kind to George - allowing him time to warm up a bit as we talked about his particular needs. Clearly they have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with all sorts of animals, including those who are "misunderstood". We scheduled a 2 week period of 2/day drop-in visits for George, beginning with yesterday (while my husband and I were home to show Kemba the ropes). George was extremely unpleasant and unwelcoming, but Kemba remained calm and collected, explaining George's behavior and reassuring him. He reassured me as well, as I was stressing out over George's outburst. We reviewed some of the notes I left for Kemba and went outside for a short playtime. George is very capable, caring hands with this man. We have a very good feeling moving forward and are confident that he and George will be great friends. I cannot recommend Kemba more highly.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I’ve cared for horses, dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters etc. I have two little dogs and a cat of my own :) Ziggy, Chewy, and Jackson are my world and I dote on them daily. I promise to care for your fur babies like they’re my own ❤️ I have experience with medication administration and care for puppies and senior animals. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to devote a lot of attention toward your babies. I have a very flexible job and am often working from home so I have a lot of availability to adjust to your babies’ schedules. I have a large space in my home and am close to a nearby park to let the fur babies run around. My mornings start with a good morning treat, and then a long walk through the neighborhood. We follow it up with a post-walk lil dental treat and breakfast. I usually take my girls out three times a day and am happy to take your fur babies with us. I also have a cat who gets his breakfast at the same time (only the finest mix of wet and dry). After breakfast we usually play a little before they all tucker out and I get started on some work in the living room. Usually all the babies snuggle on the couch while I sip my coffee and sift through emails.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and have been pet sitting for about 5 years. I actually have my own Doberman/German Shepherd mix, so I’m very used to high-energy 'velcro dogs' and big personalities! I specialize in high-need breeds and pups with anxiety—I know how to stay calm and patient so they feel safe. Whether your dog needs a long walk or just someone who understands their quirks, I’ve got you covered! I work part-time as a shift supervisor at Starbucks, which usually means I'm done with work early in the day! My afternoons and evenings are very open to hang out with your pups. Since I have a pretty flexible routine, I can easily work around your schedule to make sure your pets get their walks, meals, and plenty of attention while you're away. Your pet's safety is my main priority. My apartment is spacious and kept clear of anything a curious dog might get into. While I don't have a backyard, I’m a very active walker and there’s a great fenced dog park nearby where we can go for some off-leash play. I love giving pups one-on-one attention and making sure they have a calm, hazard-free environment to relax in!

We’ve had the pleasure of having Jean for drop in visits with our chihuahua for the past few months. So happy to have found her. These little dogs aren’t that easy but we feel very assured he is in good hands. Jean helps me navigate the rover app, is reliable and gets back to me promptly.

About: I’m very adaptive to your pup’s lifestyle; I love hiking, exploring nature and playing with all breeds of dogs. I’m very warm and welcoming, so your furry friend is welcome in all parts of the house—especially on the couch for snuggles! I am also very attentive, and want to make certain that all of your dog’s needs are met (sufficient food/water, outdoor time/playtime etc). I have senior dog and puppy experience, and don’t mind putting down pads if need be. I grew up with dogs and enjoy their companionship—I will ensure they are in a safe environment and trusting hands. Please feel free to provide any of your pet’s special attachments (i.e. toys, food, bed, sweater, leash, treats, etc). I want to guarantee that they are as comfortable as possible during their stay! I am a photographer and brand advocate with Counter, so I have the flexibility to create my own schedule and focus on your pet when I’m with them. My partner Phil is very helpful and equally a dog lover. If you are comfortable, you can also meet him to assure your dog will be safe, and well taken care of during their stay with us. My partner and I live in a pet friendly two family on the first floor, with a half fenced in backyard. We are right down the street from Roger Williams Park—perfect for longer walks/hikes if your dog is able.

Natasha is great! She fed my pup who has several medications with his dinner and walked him after for a drop in visit. She even kindly washed his dish. Sounds like he gets excited to see her and I trust she will always come on time and take good care for my boy.

About: I have a profound love for cats and dogs, stemming from my 17-year companionship with my beloved Canela (Cinnamon), who recently passed away. As a passionate pet enthusiast, I've extended my care to the Barrington community, engaging in dog sitting for over three years. My commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for furry friends is unwavering. With a deep understanding of their needs, I ensure each pet under my care receives personalized attention, affection, and the utmost comfort. Having navigated the joys and challenges of pet ownership, I bring a wealth of experience to every pet sitting opportunity. Your beloved companions are not just animals to me; they are cherished members of the family deserving of the best care possible. Count on me to go above and beyond to make your pets feel at ease, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both them and you. I am very flexible with timing. I can sit dogs every day of the week. I’m available 24/7/365 and send regular updates to pet parents. I live on a boarding school so I can take the dogs for a walk around campus and my home is very safe for dogs and cats.

About: I have owned a dog for 5 years, and grew up with cats. I am currently away from home and my family is caring for my dog, so I will take care of your pet like they are my own! I have plenty of time on weekday evenings and weekends to play with and exercise your pets. I would love to take your pet on a walk, for a jog (if this is something they do already with you), or just play some fetch! I will treat your pet(s) and home as if they are my own! I will offer a few snacks if approved by you, and plenty of head scratches.

Carla was kind, responsive, and reliable. She left notes on Rover with every visit and very cute pictures of my pets. Even though the weather was frozen, she was there for their care as scheduled and even helped to clear my deck of snow and ice. I was very worried at first leaving my pets but I felt assured they were in the best possible hands. If I ever had a question, she responded promptly. I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services.

We have used Fiona & Hannah several times now, and every single experience has been outstanding. They take exceptional care of our dog and consistently go above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy, comfortable, and well loved. The updates, photos, and communication make you feel as though you’re spending each day right alongside your dog, even while you’re away. It brings so much peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in such caring and capable hands. We truly feel we’ve found our dog sitters for life and couldn’t recommend Fiona & Hannah more highly.

Haley was absolutely incredible. I’ve used Rover many times, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and attentive. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines and quirks, and it was clear she genuinely cared about getting everything right. Throughout the stay, she sent consistent updates with pictures and little notes that showed she was paying real attention. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease with her, which says everything. When I got home, my place was spotless, my dog was calm and content, and it was like I’d never left. Haley went above and beyond in every way. she treated my dog like her own, kept everything perfectly organized, and made the whole process effortless. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your sitter, don’t think twice. She’s exceptional.
