“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
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.
“We were very happy with Karen! She sent us daily updates on our dogs and pictures. She seemed to get to know our dogs right away and what their behavior was like. It’s was comforting to know she was paying such close attention to their needs. I would highly recommend Karen as a dog sitter”
“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!”
“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!”
“These folks were super nice, loving, and accommodating towards me and my dog. Kenny was very detailed and worked with me on my arrival times which was much appreciated when trying to travel out of town. They have a nice fenced-in yard for pups to play. Along with a nice tall deck where my dog loved to hang out and check out all the sites and smells. I would definitely have them watch my dog again.”
“I highly recommend Kat. She is great!!! This was yhe first time I left my puppy for a week and I was very nervous about it. I did a meet and great and she immediately put me at ease about leaving my puppy with her. She sent me daily updates and was thoroughly pleased with her care of my puppy. Thanks Kat”
“We trust shes in good hands with Xavier. He sends us pictures and updates and she's happy as ever when we drop her off (she usually is not very excited by humans, but is excited when she sees Xavier).”
“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Jessica was amazing! She is responsive, accommodating and honest when I asked about other dogs/children in the house. Jessica was available on short notice over Christmas when I reached out to her last minute because my other coverage fell through. I received photos and videos throughout my dog’s stay and he came home happy and tired. I would book with Jessica again - highly recommended!”
“Everything was great with our dog’s stay with Paige. She sent photos and updates and she even was dealing with a storm and power outages throughout - will certainly book 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!”
“Alyssa was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter 😊. I was super impressed!! Willow is a rescue we only had about a month, so we were concerned about having her get nervous and anxious in a new environment and away from us. Alyssa kept us updated on my Willow's stay - pictures and prose. We were so relieved to see Willow getting along so well with Alyssa. Willow came back content, and we were so happy to have found Alyssa!! Your pets will be so lucky to have Alyssa care for them; do not hesitate in the least. You will see for yourself what a loving and codependent care she gives them !”
“My husband and I got married a couple weeks ago and two weeks before the wedding we had a last-minute cancellation for somebody to watch our dog. We were stressed as it was a different kind of request and many people were not able to do it, but Brenda came to the rescue and acted as our dog handler during some of the wedding festivities before taking him home with her for the night. She truly took so much stress off of us and making sure that he was okay leading up to the ceremony and post ceremony. She made sure Boog was attended to through throughout her whole time with us and happy. She was so amazing and I would highly recommend her for anything!”
About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting.

I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!

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.
Sarah was amazing! My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I would typically leave her at home alone. Unfortunately, due to this illness, she now needs care and I was nervous about the idea of leaving her home alone. I have an amazing career and was fearful I would need to make changes professionally as my cats are far more important to me than my role. Fortunately, I found this app and Sarah. Firstly, as soon as I brought my cat to her home I immediately noticed how clean it was and how kind her cat was to mine who was a little nervous. I feel like crouton (my cat) felt like she was at home which was amazing to see. After leaving, Sarah sent me plenty of pictures which eased my nerves and I will definitely be a repeat customer
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!!
Andrea did a phenomenal job with Bernie. We appreciated her flexibility with scheduling, drop off and pickup. But most importantly, we were impressed with the high level of care and attention she gave our pup. Great communication. Regular photos, and one VERY happy dog at pickup. If you have a chance to book this amazing sitter, put her at the top of your list!
Molly was amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone, and she took wonderful care of him. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and videos every few hours, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our pup felt comfortable and bonded with her quickly. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Molly again in the future. Highly recommend her!

There are 1,439 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rumford. About 91% of Rumford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
