About: Lifelong Animal Lover | 13+ Years Experience | Trusted, Loving, Down-to-Earth Care (As a heads up, my pricing per night for pet/house sitting covers two pets ($86/night 2 pets & house sitting) if you have more than two pets, you can add them via the add on option here on rover for an additional $15/night per pet.) Hi! I’m Victoria and I am a lifelong animal lover with over a decade of experience caring for pets and keeping homes clean, safe, and peaceful. I’m based in Wakefield, Rhode Island, where I also run my own cleaning business, so I know how to keep things tidy and tail-wagging happy. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare and grooming shop, have volunteered with horses, and have experience with everything from puppies and senior pets to special needs animals and even reptiles. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether I’m house sitting, walking your pup, or dropping in to check on your pets, I bring love, patience, and a calm, grounded energy. I’m gentle but firm, the worst your pup might ever hear from me is my “big girl voice” (loving, but clear). My job is to keep your pet healthy, happy and safe. I’m also great at reading animal behavior, administering meds, and handling routines with care. I currently share my home with three sweet cats, and I totally understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I'm here to give you peace of mind while you're away, and to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for. Let me know if you have any questions or want to set up a meet & greet. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) family! As a heads up, my pricing per night for pet/house sitting covers two pets ($86/night 2 pets & house sitting) if you have more than two pets, you can add them via the add on option here on rover for an additional $15/night per pet. I currently work a per diem position and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether you need early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your routine and create a plan that works best for you and your furry family. Just send me a message with your ideal times, and I’ll do my best to make it happen, your pet’s comfort and consistency come first! Of course, for the best opportunity for scheduling, please make sure you schedule in advance according to the selected service. Thanks! Your pets safety is top priority for me. I care deeply for all animals and find that love, patience and understanding is the best approach with all pets.

About: Experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, energy levels, and play styles, from active working and sporting breeds to relaxed companion dogs. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 5 year old Blue Heeler mix and no children, so I have lots of free time for pet care I want to keep your pet’s day as routine as possible, whether that requires set walking, enrichment, or nap times. I will ensure my time with them is comforting and fun.
“Erica was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The day of service she was on time, and took great care of pup - he did not want her to leave after their walk! We would absolutely use Erica as a walker /sitter again.”

“Shannon took great care of our two rowdy boys! Our dogs are big and she handled them great. She made sure they had water food and treats before she left too. Highly recommend and will be contacting her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have raised puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my elder dog, so I’m happy to spend time with yours. Looking forward to spending time, walking and playing with your dog, cat, kitten or puppy. I work part time so I’m very flexible and active! I am available to stay with your pet, and give them exercise and lots of attention needed to keep them happy! I am familiar with picky eaters and administering medication if needed.
“Tallyn helped me out with my dog Cooper when I unexpectedly had to work evenings with very short notice. It was too hot to walk that week so she spent time with Cooper in my backyard giving him some nice shaded exercise. Excellent communication and great pictures of my dog during her visits. I would be very happy to use her again.”

“Deanna was an absolute gem as my dog sitter. My dog, Koji, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is a truly kind and wonderful person who provided thoughtful, gentle, and loving care to my senior dog. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Koji was in such capable and compassionate hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Deanna’s services.”

About: I've been raised with dogs and cats since day one. They are part of my DNA. I'm kind and caring and will treat your pet like my own. I am pet free for the very first time. Your pet will be my total priority. Call me, Jean. I have great references. I'm trained in first aid I am retired from Alaska Airlines. I make several week long trips a year. Otherwise I am close at hand to meet your needs at your home or mine. My bungalow is fenced in and has good dog walking areas surrounding the property. I normally take my pets to the beach 2 blocks from my home. Walking intervals are every 3 hours unless more is needed.
About: I have 7 years of adult experience, by this I mean actual dog sitting and raising my own pup. However, since I can remember, I have always been comfortable with dogs. I was 9 when my family got our first dog (a boxer!) and since then I always found myself falling into some form of a caretaker role. Of course when you grow up and get your own dog you realize how easy you had it when it was the family dog. By raising and training my own dog, Roo, I have learned more about patience, unconditional love and responsibilities than I thought possible. In college I would dog and house sit for families here and there, usually for weekends at a time so I am comfortable being in YOUR space with your pets for more than just drop ins. Along with being a dog mom, I am a plant mom and will happily care for your plant babies too! Starting on 5/12/25 I’m beginning a new full time job that requires me to be in office (Coventry) M-F 8am - 4:30pm. I will update my schedule frequently to show availability once I switch to a hybrid schedule. On the days I can work from home I will I have the flexibility to be with a dog 24/7. I am an early riser and will gladly do the needful in those scary morning hours. I am a home body and don’t typically go out for long periods of time on the weekends. I will ALWAYS make sure there is water for the dog and I fully understand adhering to strict eating rules and schedules. My own dog has a super sensitive stomach, so I will take all food instructions with the utmost seriousness. I’m not the spoil-my-child-rotten type, however, my dog is allowed on all furniture (outside of tick season) and is given at least 3 sessions of fetch or a walk daily. I will respect your home rules even if they differ from my own.
About: I’ve taken care of and owned many pets and have volunteered with an adoption agency as well to help dogs to find their forever homes I work a changing schedule that is very flexible and I love squeezing in as much time with your pets as possible! Message me to come up with the best care plan together! I Will respect any persons home and their rules for their dogs. I enjoy playing and cuddling with all dogs and keeping the active ones busy!

About: What really sets me apart is my extensive expertise at both ends of the pet spectrum. I expertly train and socialize energetic young puppies – housebreaking, basic commands, leash manners, and building confidence without stress. For senior pets I deliver compassionate, specialized care that keeps them comfortable and thriving, with gentle routines for arthritis, medication reminders (oral or as prescribed), soft exercise, and calm, loving environments that reduce anxiety for our golden oldies. I treat every animal exactly like my own – tailoring walks, play, meals, and snuggles to their unique needs. You’ll receive daily photo/video updates and detailed reports so you never worry. Pet parents in Warwick and Providence consistently tell me my patience, reliability, and extra touches (like extra play sessions or favorite toys) make all the difference. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, dog walk, or longer sit, your furry family gets personalized, experienced care from a true partner who loves what they do. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the perfect flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take extra walks, provide enrichment, and give each pet the one-on-one attention they deserve without ever feeling rushed. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, plus drop-ins or walks during those hours so your pets stay happy and on schedule every single day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment whether caring in my home or yours. For boarding in my home I provide a safe, secure space with supervised play and rest areas. I can crate if needed, supervise free time in secure spaces, and follow your exact feeding/walking routines. For walks or drop-ins in your home, I use your supplies, stick strictly to your schedule, keep everything clean and locked, and treat your space with total respect. I’m background-checked, Rover-insured, and always send real-time photo/video updates so you never worry.
About: Pets don't need much to be happy. Most are content with some peanut butter for dogs, or maybe a treat for the kittens! We all know that a little patients goes a long way, and we don't always have to understand to be able to help, and give good happy lives :) I'm here to help! Right now I'm fully available. Please consider me a full time pet manager, and I mean I'll walk! I'll talk! And I'll adapt to whatever it is you need done! I care for pets with the focus on maintaining consistency for the pets. So whatever the owner wants. It's important to lay it all out, and allow for small errors on all sides, and later we will build everything we need to succeed and give vitality to the pets!
About: Hello! I’m originally from Upstate New York and currently share my home with a cat and a small dog. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—dogs and cats alike seem to gravitate toward me! I’ve cared for my own dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, and I also have experience training Newfoundland show dogs. At the same time, I adore cats and understand their unique personalities, from playful kittens to independent seniors. Whether your pet is tiny or giant, young or old, canine or feline, I love them all and know how to meet their needs. I offer flexible availability on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to take dogs on walks or runs, provide playtime, cuddle sessions, or quiet companionship for cats. I always ask about your pet’s favorite activities, routines, and any dislikes so I can tailor my care to keep them as happy as possible. Your pet’s comfort and joy are my top priority—I’d love to meet your furry family member! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. I already care for my own cat and small dog, so feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles are part of my everyday routine. Because I have flexible availability during both weekdays and weekends, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit the needs of pets I’m looking after. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening play sessions, I make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces, fresh water, and plenty of enrichment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely. I maintain the pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel safe and cared for even while their family is away. I always ask about any special needs, favorite activities, or things the pet dislikes, so I can avoid stress and provide the best possible care.

Our fur babies love Matthew, and so do we! It's such a RELIEF to go away knowing that he will not let anything get in the way of caring for our Aussie and two finicky cats - not rain, nor sleet, nor snow will keep Matthew away, and the way he really cares about our furry members warms us all up.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Slocum. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
