“Eden was great. I had to book relatively last minute. She was very responsive and professional. I had to leave very specific instructions to get into my apartment and she had no issues. Reagan was well taken care of and seemed very happy in the pictures she sent. I would definitely use Eden again!”
“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: 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.

“Rich was incredible. Definitely helped me in a pinch with my dog Goomba! He was very responsive and loved all the pictures of my pup with him on their walk. Would certainly use him again in the future and highly recommend. For all kinds of dogs, sometimes can be tough finding your pet as much as you do but Rich certainly has a big affinity for dogs which makes you rest easy while he’s with your pup.”

“Natasha was great with my pup! He loved his walks and the attention she gave him. She was very professional and super quick to respond to any messages for booking. She even brought in a package for me that came during his walk which was very kind of her.”


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.

“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”

“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.”

“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 love animals of all kinds and have 6 years of experience walking and dog sitting. I also own a cat and feel comfortable with more shy cats that need a little love to come out of their shells. Can provide references upon request.

Taylor was wonderful. We could tell she was going to be a great fit for Gus as soon as we met her. She was super responsive in all communication and asked questions I had not thought of! Would highly recommend her to others and we’ll be checking to see if she’s free for our next trip!

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
