“Nicole was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my animals were taken care of. She took time to know my animals and send lots of pictures while I was away! I highly recommend Nicole if you want quality care for your pets.”
“Joel was able to help us out on pretty short notice and even squeezed in a meet & greet before coming by later that night. He was great with our pup and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We appreciated Joel’s flexibility, communication, and care and would happily book again in the future. (:”
“Mia was excellent and patient, very communicative while looking after my cat, Julius. I'm so pleased we found her, and will definitely be booking her again the next time we go out of town. I would recommend her to anyone in Pawtucket!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and have been around many other breeds over the years. I also participated in 4-H for a couple of years, where I helped train our second family dog. I genuinely love spending time with animals and would be happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’m available mostly on weekdays, with some weekend availability depending on the amount of notice I receive. I’ve had cats in my own home for the past four years and also have experience caring for family members’ cats. I have reliable transportation, so you can count on me to get to and from your home safely and on time. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am Available Monday-Friday as of now as I am currently job hunting for a new job. Please reach out with at least 5 day notice for house sitting I would love to help keep your furry friend company either just by going for a quick walk or having a play session or even just giving them some pats and cuddles
About: 40s, animal obsessed, outdoor explorer, well caffeinated, Pug mom who is caring, patient, kind, just wants to snuggle your pet and romp around town. Previous full time health care provider looking to provide care for your pet not by necessity but by choice for the quality time, care and love for all animals. Plus, it keeps me off the couch and gets me and your fur baby out and about enjoying fresh air and quality time. Previously worked with my daughter in Boston providing walks, grooming, drop in visits, boarding & play groups. Solo dog walking as well as pack walks.

Also open to second shift visits & walks to help accommodate evening & late night shifts. My home is their home and I live on the East Side where there are plenty of places and spaces to explore. I can meet your specific needs for your pet and if for some reason I cannot, I will always let you know. I do have a small 20lb one year old Pug named Benz who is very friendly and neutered. He is always up for an adventure but also per your request can skip it and stay home. I can also accommodate separate boarding areas to provide a comfortable solo space of their own.
“Eliza was wonderful with our cat! She feed and played with him 2x/day and gave him love. She was so good that we booked her for our next trip before our current trip was over!!”
About: I love pets. I had 4 dogs at one point of all sizes & breeds. I currently have 3 dogs and a cat. One husky (Mila) and 2 little ones (Minnie & Milo), my black cat. Mr. Kitty. I’ve been told I get along with pets who aren’t even good with other people. I believe good energy translates to animals ♥️♥️ I am off a lot during the day. My day typically looks like going to the dog park every morning. I am a few minutes from slater park. Sometimes I go on small hike trails with my dogs as well. I will care for your pet as I do care for mine. I truly have a love for animals. If I had owned my own home, I’d have a few more. I will also respect any boundaries you have towards your pet and home.
About: I’m a huge animal lover! I grew up with big dogs and I recently within the last few years adopted cats and fell completely in love. I have a strong connection to animals and good with their boundaries to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also been pet sitting since I was in high school. I’m a part time artist, (I paint pet portraits!) part time operational manager for another artist business which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I often have availability on a moments notice. I treat my cats like babies so you can expect me to do the same for your animals. If your pet needs me to sing them a little silly song while I make their dinner I will do it. I have a very calming presence animals tend to be drawn to. I respect their boundaries and allow them to feel safe with me before playing
“Heather was great! She was super responsive and willing to communicate. She stuck to our kitten’s schedule just right and they were super content when we got back. Thank you Heather!”
About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, you name it! My smallest dog ever was a chihuahua and my largest is a cane corso. My home was also a foster home and we had many litters of puppies and kittens come through on their way to their forever families! I work full time so I am primarily available on weekends, but I do work from home once a week if you need a last minute walk or check in on a pet! I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and was blown away by Crystal. The daily messages and pictures were everything to me, and she even left me a couple of framed pictures of my cats which were a delightful surprise. Crystal is wonderful, and I look forward to utilizing her again in the future!”

“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”

“I booked last minute randomly through the app. I felt at ease going away. Aly will be my first choice next time! So communicative, flexible, helpful, went above and beyond. We really appreciate you!”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rumford
Bri was absolutely amazing! She showed up on time and was very communicative, answering right away for any questions. She sent amazing pictures and updates. I would book her again in a heartbeat! It’s so hard to find people you trust to watch your pets - Bri is truly a professional and I’m so lucky to have found her!
Responsive and responsible! Had some last-minute cat sitting needs and was so relieved to get connected to Stephanie. Leaving town was way less stressful than expected—she was unfazed by our cats’ medical needs and broad spectrum of behavioral idiosyncrasies. Clearly loves animals and brought that to her care of our kitties. Great communicator, both when things go well or when something isn’t working as expected. Highly recommend!
Briana was an absolutely FABULOUS sitter for our two adult cats! Her daily check-ins were always on time, and she went above and beyond during each visit, ensuring our cats had ample playtime and making sure we knew they ate. I am so grateful for her kindness and attentiveness she had towards our pets, and I will definitely book her for our future vacations.
Shawn was great, making drop in visits for our two cats over several days. We came home to everything spotlessly clean, feeding dishes washed and litter boxes scooped. She communicated well and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet. I highly recommend Shawn!
Isabelle was incredibly trustworthy. Did everything I requested and more. Lots of cute pictures of my cat showing how comfortable and content she made my senior lady feel. Communication was great, came on time. Isabelle is my go to cat sitter from now on. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you!
I travel for work and Kristine is my go-to to watch my 10 year old rag doll cat who can be pretty high maintenance at times (kitty ibs). Kristine is quite literally the best and I know that whatever happens Kristine can handle it and keep me posted in a timely manner. You’d be a silly goober to not book with them!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care 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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
