About: Hello! My name is Veru, and I run a private, small family-owned home dog retreat in Riverside, RI. I work from home full-time and live a very active lifestyle, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive, and personalized care throughout the day. I began offering my services through Rover and have worked with many different pets of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. I also have previous experience providing pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for friends and family. Your dog will stay in a calm, clean, cage-free home never in loud kennels or overcrowded facilities. I design each stay around your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. My daughter, a college student, works by my side and can also provide in-home care at your residence if preferred, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment. What makes us different: • No cages • No strict restrictions or time limits • We follow your routine — or can implement ours • Park trips, neighborhood walks, bike-path walks, and beach walks (weather permitting) • Apartment complex dog park access • Limited dogs, full attention • Daily photo & video updates Your dog becomes part of our home, many guests even sleep with me for extra comfort, unless you prefer they sleep in their own bed. What to bring: Just your dog’s food, favorite snacks, favorite toy and their bed if they prefer their own — we provide the love, walks, play, rest, and care. 📍 Riverside, RI Boarding • Daycare • Private Walks • Pick-Up & Drop-Off I have a remote job, If you are hiring me for housesitting / daycare / boarding, you can sure l will likely be with your pet all day long. Note: My daycare rate is $45 for stays between 1 and 10 hours. If care extends beyond 10 hours, an extended care fee of $25 will apply. The final total is calculated and adjusted at the end of the booking based on the actual pickup time. Your pup’s trust and comfort are my top priority. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Every pet has a unique personality and individual needs, and I take the time to understand and accommodate each one. For added safety and peace of mind, I also use GPS tracking during walks and outings until your pet is safely returned to you.
“Erin was an amazing dog walker for our puppy, Razzle! She was always on time, and Razzle was so excited to see her every day. When they returned from their walks, Razzle was noticeably calmer and had just the right amount of energy left exactly what we wanted. Erin also took the time to introduce Razzle to other dogs, which really helped her become more social. I truly appreciate the care and effort she put in, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Maryann, watched our small dog Milo. She took good care of him and even walked him. Milo can be difficult at times and we told her this and she still agreed to watch him. I would recommend her to watch your dogs.”
“Janice is a true dog lover! My Sophie (normally a little timid with new people) took to her very quickly and loves her walks with Janice. And I enjoy the peace of mind knowing Sophie will have a chance to get outside and have a little companionship when I’m away at work. And I look forward to the Rover cards with pictures of their time together. I would absolutely recommend Janice without hesitation!”
About: Hi, I have a flexible daytime schedule, I want to help dogs feel safe and secure, especially while you are away from them. I realize that most dogs do better with consistency and structure. I have an arsenal of strategies to keep dogs busy and well mannered. No more rambunctious dog when you arrive home, no more town up couches and no more stress for a lonely dog. We have a toddler who adores all dogs. For this reason, we ask for only those with kid-friendly dogs to request care. I have experience in the dog industry and I will absolutely care for your dog as if it were my own fur baby. I eagerly await your message and I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon. If you have any other questions please reach out ASAP.
“I was in need of last minute care for Rocky and I sent a request out to a bunch of people. Amanda responded immediately and was willing to help! She made sure she understood the care instructions I provided and took him on a great walk, and most importantly he loved her. I’ll definitely be using Amanda again after the holidays.”
“I had a last minute work change and Austin was available when my other dog walker wasn’t. I worked an unscheduled double, Austin was there all day for my dog. Riot is very rambunctious so I’m glad that Austin and him had a great time together. Definitely will be scheduling more walks and time in the future, thanks again Austin ?”
“Eden took wonderful care of my puppy Xena. She genuinely cares about dogs. I felt reassured leaving Xena alone knowing that Eden would be taking her for a walk and letting me know how she was doing. She made the process easy and pleasant.”
“Audrey was great right from the meet and greet and on! Millie, who is usually very timid, warmed up to her in seconds. Audrey was a great support walking my dog while a family member who can no longer walk her far watched her. She was extremely punctual and great with communicating all aspects of their walks. Highly recommend.”
About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.
“Our regular Rover wasn't available and finding a new one is always a bit stressful, but Kierstin was both chill and communicative, so the pups and I took to her right away. Was very grateful to know she was on the job. Would certainly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs my whole life, and have experience with young, old, big and small dogs. I have no current animals of my own so no issues with furry friends that don’t get along. I love to help out with anyone’s animals and give them a good vacation or even just a good walk! I work part time in the mornings, so I am normal out of work by 9 am! This means I have plenty of time to care for and take out any pups or cats! I’m available for overnight boarding everyday and can pet sit and walk from 12 pm-11 pm every day. I live in an apartment, but I have a large space to take pets on walks, a dog park, and much plenty of space around the apartment for normal roaming. I am very punctual with feeding and frequently take pets out.
“Natasha has been nothing but lovely since she met Louie. She insisted on coming to meet him and learn more about him before our first walk, and took really great care of him while on the walks because of that. I would highly recommend Natasha - even for last minute walks! She always makes it work and communicates so well!”
“Kayla accommodated me for a last minute holiday visit and walk with my dog on Thanksgiving, which I am so grateful for! A last minute change in our plans meant he’d be home alone. She came over for a meet and greet two days before and asked a lot of important questions. She was good with Oso and kind about his need to be heard (aka lots of demand barking). He is not yet two and she understands puppies. She was easy to communicate with and I’d recommend her to care for your dog anytime.”

Brooke did a drop in visit for a couple of days in a row and was amazing with our two dogs! She was timely and very communicative. Her updates are the best! The dogs both really liked her and enjoyed their walks (even when it was raining one day). Will definitely book again!
What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.
We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's
