“Sarah was exceptional, and I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! From the moment we met, it was clear that she is experienced, professional, and genuinely cares. She was very responsive throughout Sia’s stay and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind.Rex was also such a sweet and welcoming companion, and Sia clearly enjoyed spending time there. I could tell right away that Sia was in great hands, and when I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We are so happy we booked with Ty! Her and her family were so good to our dog Scout and she provided the best updates and pictures. We would definitely book with Ty again ☺️”
“Nick and Veronica were wonderful with Finnegan. Very patient and gentle as Finnegan warmed up to them and kept us posted on his day with pictures and message updates. Finnegan enjoyed being with their two dogs as well and seemed to miss his pals when we got home. We felt very good about the kindness and care Finnegan received and we already have booked a second stay.”
“Levi was great with my lunas ! it was the longest i’ve been away from her, but Levi kept me updated on her adventures and she looked like the happiest dog. i highly recommend Levi for your dog boarding needs, we definitely will use him again in the future !”
“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Poppy had a wonderful weekend stay with Robert! He was so kind and attentive and shared lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We will happily send Poppy back for future stays with Robert!”
“Anely was very communicative and kept us updated on how Bobbi was doing during her entire stay! We felt very comfortable leaving our girl in her care. 😊”
“Karen was wonderful! So communicative with care to detail and what is best for our dog. She sent pics of how happy our dog was each day. Very accommodating with requests. Look forward to booking again!”
“We communicated and met with Kaylan, and she was great! Very responsive and kind. Our dogs got along well, and mine was really delighted to have little kiddos around for a change. There were other dogs being boarded, so if your dogs not chill you might inquire about other dogs they're sitting. But they were upfront with that as well and told us their plan before we went to meet everyone.”
“Eve was great! She and her family clearly care about the pets they sit. I received photos and updates daily about how Coco was doing and it was obvious she felt welcome and at home. Eve was flexible and accommodating about pick-up and drop-off times and made the entire process a breeze. Will definitely trust her with Coco again. Thanks Eve!”
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.
“Kat was very responsive, took great care of my rambunctious golden retriever. She and her husband are very warm folks who treat your dog like their own. Will definitely be having Quay over to their place again!”
“Stitch and Bear had a great time at Erin’s place! Erin was wonderful! Thank you for helping us out when we were in a bind last minute. She accommodated with our furbabies needs, sent great photos/videos. My furbabies seemed to make themselves at home at her house! Again, thank you Erin!! We will definitely be rebooking with her again! 😁”
“Angelina was a spectacular host! She sent constant updates, was flexible, had a great set-up, and most importantly gave a lot of love to my girls. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Angelina! I would also note she was able to accomodate (in my circumstances) a last minute, 3 week stay for my pups which is unheard of. That speaks to her heart and caring nature!”
“Tara provided a great experience for Penny when she boarded. She was very attentive, kept her current on her medications and sent along pictures to keep her mom satisfied she was in good hands!”
About: Animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I believe our pets are so much more than just animals; they are family, loyal companions, and beautiful souls who bring unconditional love into our lives. Having shared my own life with beloved bulldogs and cats over the years, I understand just how precious they are and how important it is to know they are safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With 25 years of pet-sitting experience, I offer compassionate, dependable, and personalized care for both cats and dogs. Every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and little quirks, and I take the time to honor and understand each one. Whether it's gentle cuddles, playful moments, peaceful companionship, or simply making sure they feel secure in their own surroundings, I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same love, patience, kindness, and respect they receive from you. Because to me, pet sitting isn't just a service — it's a privilege to be trusted with a piece of someone's heart. 🐶🐱💕 As a self-employed shamanic practitioner, herbalist, and massage therapist, I have been blessed to create a life and career centered around healing, compassion, connection, and caring for others. One of the beautiful benefits of being self-employed is having a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of extra time to dedicate to pet sitting. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and find their presence incredibly grounding, peaceful, and healing. I believe animals are beautiful souls who deserve the same love, kindness, patience, and respect that we give one another. Because I create my own schedule, I have the freedom to be present and attentive, offering your furry companions plenty of affection, companionship, and individualized care rather than simply stopping in and rushing out. Pet sitting is something that fits naturally into my lifestyle and brings me so much joy. Being able to spend my days surrounded by animals, nature, and healing energy is truly a gift, and I would be honored to share that love and care with your beloved pets Being outdoors and connecting with nature is a huge part of my life, and I absolutely love sharing that joy with our four-legged friends! Hiking, exploring wooded trails, visiting parks, and enjoying the fresh air are some of my favorite things to do. I also have a Sprinter van, which makes it possible to take your furry companions on fun dog-friendly excursions and outdoor adventures, always keeping their individual needs, comfort, and safety in mind. I live in a cozy, pet-friendly apartment conveniently located near beautiful parks and green spaces, offering plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, and exploration. Whether your dog is an adventurous soul who loves hiking through the woods or a gentle homebody who prefers leisurely strolls, belly rubs, and snuggling up for some quiet time, I am happy to accommodate their unique personality. I believe animals thrive when they feel loved, safe, and connected to the world around them. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a little vacation of their own, filled with love, adventure, companionship, and plenty of wagging tails!
About: Working from home and embracing my love of animals has been a dream come true! I have taken care of many pets through Rover, as well as animals who have belonged to family members and friends for over 9 years now. I recently bought a new home and changed locations from my co-owner prompting a new account. Through rover I have cared for a variety of pets with anxieties of every shape and form so please do not hesitate to reach out and see if i can accompany your family’s needs. In my home your pets will experience a lot of hands on time as well as daily adventures around the grassy neighborhood and sometimes to Lincoln woods(weather permitting). My yard is entirely fenced in with hedges obstructing view of the neighbors yards giving the dogs a private sanctuary to relax. You may contact me whenever to schedule a meet and greet. If you see me available to book then feel free to shoot a message as i regularly update my availability. I have never met a dog we did not like or has not loved me with time. I am also very respectful of your house rules especially those regarding your pet(s) such as what they can eat, be on, play with, etc.. i also take a plethora of pictures/videos for you to make sure you have a worry-free time away! I work from home giving me ample time to take care of pets daily. Generally speaking I am home most days playing with the dogs, watching tv, or gaming. The dogs are rarely alone. i am almost always hanging out with the dogs ready to give care and love. If they are not lounging with me then they are exploring the neighborhood or yard. I cannot think of a single dog with anxiety that hasn’t felt at home by night 2! I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood for walks containing lots of grass multiple times per day and a fenced in yard to hang out in. Minutes away from Lincoln Woods adventures and dog parks. Some days of course can be lazy days where we stay cozy and watch a movie. I’ll accommodate your preferences :) I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know about all of your dog's dietary needs, how many times a day they should be walked, how active they usually are, any anxieties they might have, and anything else that would make their stay more comfortable. Early clients shall enjoy a star sitter at discount while I build this new account. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies. I currently work from my home. Your pets will be right by my side for most of every day whether it be watching tv, playing in the yard, or going on adventures through the grassy neighborhood, parks, and Lincoln Woods. My home has an entirely fenced in yard with hedges providing a private sanctuary your your pet to relax in. The neighborhood has lots of grassy sidewalks and shade from trees.
“Grace is great! She took the time to meet me and my dog ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit. She sent lots of photos and videos of Willie out on walks and at the park. It seems like he had a fun weekend thanks to Grace!”
“Paige is a wonderful sitter! She was warm and welcoming to our two dogs, and sent updates (including an adorable video of her child playing with our dogs!). Her house is spacious for the dogs to stretch out, and the fenced yard was ideal. I especially appreciate her flexibility when our flight (and therefore our return home) was delayed by a few hours. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rumford
I had a wonderful experience leaving Max with Shawn! She has a lovely backyard where Max could play and enjoy himself, and she took such great care of him. She was caring, attentive, and professional, which gave me peace of mind knowing Max was in good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
Alex was so wonderful to work with and Peter truly was not ready to leave when I went to pick him up. She sent tons of updates with photos, was incredibly responsive, and most importantly took great care of our pup. We will absolutely be using her again when we’re in the area!
Doris was just wonderful! My sweet Ellie is a senior and needed meds given at multiple times a day, and also needed gentle loving care. I was so worried to leave her! Doris responded to a call and all texts promptly. Many pictures were sent and I truly was able to not worry as much after I left, as I did before I left. Thank you Doris!!
Cheyenne was really great! She was communicative before and during our dog’s stay, provided lots of updates and asked questions when needed. She has a big yard with lots of room to run around, and took Bear on long daily walks. Our dog was super happy with her! We would definitely use her again.
Matthew took Rex as a last minute boarder after our regular sitter had an emergency. He was really gentle and understanding with our elderly dog who was confused and nervous to be in a new place. We received plenty of updates and photos of Rex going on walks and snuggling. Excellent sitter!!
Ty and her family welcomed our pup Nelly into their home with love and care. We had a relaxing vacation knowing that Nelly was well taken care of. Ty sent adorable pictures and updates and was very responsive and super easy to coordinate with. We’re first time dog owners and it was obvious that Ty was experienced and helped guide us throughout the process. Thank you Ty!
Julia is amazing! She was super communicative, sending pup photos and info throughout her time with Charlie. He clearly had a great time, and even ran back toward her apt after we left—found a new best friend! Julia was extremely understanding when our trip was unexpectedly prolonged, and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands until we could return. Appreciate the flexibility. Highly recommend Julia!!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Rumford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rumford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rumford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rumford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rumford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
