“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat, Chong! Rachel sent us a detailed update after each visit, along with pictures. She also brought in an Amazon package that was delivered in our absence, which I had not asked her to do. We appreciate the extra initiative! Thank you Rachel! Dave and Pat”


“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Aidan is exceptionally skilled in how to approach a rescue pup like mine who has big feelings about meeting new people and needs time and space to feel safe. They have great instincts, soft mannerisms, and came up with some very helpful ideas to make the whole process less stressful. .”


“Heath was great! Very professional and punctual, will definitely book again to watch our spoiled cat. We had a worry free weekend trip knowing our cat got some quality time and kept to her regular feeding routine.”

“Nicole took amazing care of our cats! She sent us very detailed updates for every visit with plenty of pictures which helped make it much less stressful to have to leave the cats at home. We will certainly ask her to look after our cats in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”


“Brittany took care of my two elder kitties while I was away and she was great!! Super communicative, sent me great pictures and updates, and obviously took excellent care. I couldn't have asked for more and I will definitely hire her again when I have to travel.”


“Tiara was reliable and thorough. Unfortunately our dogs weren’t receptive and hid so she was unable to take them outside, but she tried her best, completed all of the check-ins, and was very communicative.”


“We can’t recommend Kelly highly enough! She has watched our dog multiple weekends and during longer vacations, and we always feel completely at ease knowing he's in her care. Our pup has higher needs—he struggles with anxiety and can be slow to trust new people—but Kelly was incredibly patient and understanding from the start. She took the time to build a relationship with him and gained his trust so much quicker than we ever expected. Kelly is also a fantastic communicator. She checks in regularly during visits and always sends thoughtful updates with photos and notes that help us feel connected while we’re away. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive, Kelly is it!”


“This was my first time using a sitter. Melissa was great! She spent alot of her time socializing with the cats which I really appreciated. The daily updates were great and she performed all of the tasks that was asked of her. Highly recommend! She is great!!!”


“Kristen is amazing! Our cat really loved her. She’s super patient and passionate, always making sure he’s comfy and happy. We can tell our cat is well taken cared of and of good spirits despite us being gone for a while because of her visits. Bonus: she takes the cutest 🐱 pics ever! Highly recommend!”


About: I have grown up with pets around me, and always had both cats and dogs as a child. I currently live with two dogs, one of whom I am the primary provider for. I have ample experience with walking, feeding, bathing and coordinating her vet visits and administering medication. I live in the Oak Hill neighborhood of Pawtucket. I drive and am happy to provide services to the surrounding areas & neighborhoods. I currently have a part-time job, therefore my availability is pretty flexible. I am able to provide dog walking, and drop in visits throughout the week, as well as house sitting/overnight stays. Sunday & Monday are days when I have complete availability. I have a fenced in yard and wrap around porch. I currently have two dogs in the house, therefore your pets would have to be dog friendly if they were to stay at my home.

“Jessica was great with my dog. She was punctual, respectful, and willing to go above and beyond. She was willing to do what was necessary to make sure my dog had an enjoyable time, even bringing her own treats”


About: I've been pet sitting for family friends for over a year now. I hope to use my experiences during my time using Rover for the best experiences possible! I'm currently a rising college senior between Rhode Island and Boston during the year. My schedule is based on my time between activities and internships. When pet sitting in your home I will follow instructions as needed such as specific feeding, walking, or other schedules that your fur baby is on

About: I've been in love with animals since childhood: dogs, cats, birds, fish. I have fun interacting with them and I am here to give your pet a safe experience while having a good time! I like to intersperse dog walks when I have breaks in my day, but my preference are mornings and later in the evening when the weather is cooler. I cannot board on my rental, but I am happy to come to your home and take your dog on a walk or just hang out for a little bit.

About: 🐾 Pet Experience Bio 🐾 IG: ThePVDPetNanny (if you’d like to see more services and content I provide) Hello there! A little about me my name is Angela I'm an experienced and compassionate animal caregiver who is dedicated to providing your furry family members with all the love and care they deserve. With a decade of being a devoted pet parent to both cats and dogs, I understand the special bond that exists between pets and their owners and how meaningful it is to you. My journey as a pet parent began ten years ago, but I have had various pets from hamster to cats and dogs since I was a toddler and since then, I've learned the joys and challenges that come with raising and nurturing these wonderful companions. Throughout this time, I've been the proud parent of both cats and dogs, each with their unique personalities and needs. As an animal caregiver, my commitment is to treat your pets as if they were my own. This means ensuring their physical, spiritual and emotional well-being, whether it's providing regular walks, jogs, playtime, nutritious meals, or simply offering comforting snuggles in your house or mine. I believe in creating a safe and loving environment where your pets can thrive, just like they would in their own home. Whether it's a cozy lap for your cat to curl up in or a long walk in the park for your energetic pup, I'm here to cater to their individual needs. Your pets' happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and you can trust that they'll receive the same level of care and affection that I give to my own beloved animal companions. Thank you for considering me as your trusted pet caregiver. I look forward to forming a special bond with your furry friends and providing them with the love, safety and attention they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ If you’d like to check out my IG page feel free to follow: thepvdpetnanny more content there! A few things to take note of: For house sitting please ensure you house is cleanly, that there are fresh sheets and bedding provided. Or I will not accept the booking. Unfortunately I have had situations where homes were not clean and it has led me to set firmer booking boundaries. Please let me know what type of updates you’d like (some clients like lots of photos and updates some want to enjoy their vacations, getaways etc.. Please leave specific details for medical needs, medications, activities you’d like me to provide for you pet so I can ensure they are safe and their needs are met. Thank you 😊 A few things to take note of: If you’d like me to house sit please note that I have a full-time job and would be able to sleep over, care for your pets in the morning (feed, walk, some play) then I would leave for work like any typical work schedule. I would return in the evening for walk, feed and play. Weekends I am free :) My long haired domestic cats Luna and Mila are indoor cats, my Golden Orla who is 7months is crate trained and is a puppy in training as this is her first year of life, I’ve done majority of her basic training and she has flourished! They are deeply loved, lots of cuddles, nutritious meals, and lots of activity (from play to running to long walks) and play dates with puppies in the area. Also always looking for new furry friends for Orla if you’re open :)

Christina H.

“Christina was responsive, attentive, and kept us updated on how our cats were doing while we were away. She sent cute photos and our cats both seemed to really like her!”


Ana Paula D.
“I’ve known Ana Paula since 2013. She was my employee and then also my friend. Ana Paula is really fantastic! Very Reliable. Exercised initiative. Excellent problem solving skills. Absolutely loves animals. Ana Paula volunteered at the SPCA. There was an old cat there who was kept in the small cat room for 5 years because it was very fearful & not yet adoptable. Volunteers and staff worked with the cat daily. Ana Paula and her husband adopted the cat, and while it took several years for the cat to relax and interact happily, they became a real family. NeNe went on to live a very long life with them. I can say without any hesitation, Ana Paula will make sure your pets have fun, get exercise, get lots of love, and she’ll make sure they are safe.”


Angela G.
“Angela has become my Petunia's second favorite person in the world. She absolutely loves her and I feel good knowing Petunia is well cared for during her walks. Angela is caring, professional and courteous and an asset to Rover. I will highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter.”
