About: Hi my name is Dee and I am your local pet sitter and dog walker! I am friendly, confident, and knowledgeable when it comes to animals. I am very comfortable working with most species domestic and exotic. - I have previously worked for a local animal hospital and now I work at an animal shelter. I am familiar and pretty hands on with basic pet care. I have been trained to handle skittish or difficult dogs and cats. I can administer medicines via oral or injection, and perform pedicures/baths etc. I am also animal CPR and first AID certified as of 2020. I was a dog groomer in Florida for two years before moving back to my home state, Rhode Island. Because of COVID - 19 I am taking precautionary measures and will wear a mask if needed. - Things you can expect while your fur baby’s are in my care, walks around the neighborhood or to local trails. (If okay with owner) Backyard play time. Naps, snacks, and lots of love! - I put the animals first and can always guarantee the owners wishes. I am a trustworthy individual who will take the time out of my day to gladly help you out with your fur babies. - I do house visits, or I can stay for the night. If you need assistance with pick ups or drop offs, I offer those services upon request. Send me a request, and I am sure to make things happen! I am available Wednesday’s and Thursday’s all day. Friday - Sunday’s 5pm and after. I can work with you on times I would just need to know a schedule a day or two in advance. I can try to fit in same day requests, but I do work and cannot always guarantee same day appointments. I’d care for your pet like they were my own! With love affection and patience. I understand every pet is different and they all require different care. Whether it’s walks, just hanging out with them at home, playing in the yard or cleaning up after them.

About: I'm pretty new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors, and have experience administering oral medications, handling emergencies, and providing daily exercise and enrichment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services to learn your pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, my goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every home with respect—often leaving it a little cleaner than I found it. I am working a part time job during the weekdays, usually the shifts are 11am-4 or 5pm, and on the weekends I work longer shifts which vary in time. However... I have many weeks off here and there so I am free a lot of the time. My job is pretty flexible most of the time so I can leave work to walk your pups and make sure they are okay and then go back to work. My yard has an Invisible Fence for my dogs which works out quite nicely and whenever I have other people's dogs over I make sure to keep them on a leash so no accidents happen. That being said, I live with my parents so I would be more geared towards servicing in home visits and stays with your pets at your home.

“Christina goes above and beyond to take good care of Juniper, and I can tell that Juniper loves their walks together by all the awesome pictures she shares!”

About: I grew up in a home with all kinds of animals: dogs, cats, birds. I've always felt a connection with them, as they feel like another member of the family. I love being with them because they radiate love and positive energy, and I feel so happy when I'm with them. I love feeding them, taking care of them, and playing with them. I know that being with them makes me a very happy person. I love being with them and giving them the care they deserve.. I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. Mornings days and early evening are free to visit, play and feed your pup in your home or mine. I have a fenced yard and easily care for your pup in a secure dog friendly environment. I have cared for dogs and all animals all my life. never met a Dog I didn't love. I was raised on a farm and used to handling anu and all situations that may arise.

“Megan was so great with my large pup who has been anxious while her dad is away. I last minute needed help and Megan went out of her way to fit me into her schedule. Megan was communicative and detailed in her reports on walks. She was also on time and spent the entire 30 min+ with our pup. Would definitely book again.”

About: I owned a German Shepard/Labrador mix for 14 years, and have been around multiple different breeds my entire life! My dog would even have health issues time to time (like seizures), so I am trained to be calm in those situations, especially because I’ve been a lifeguard for 3 years. I will be staying in Nevada for vacation for two weeks, and I would love to take care of your pet/pets during that time! Animals tend to bring out a calm, playful, loving, and utterly responsible side of me. I care for your pet/pets as if they are my own. Following after the well known phrase, I treat all beings in the same respect I would like to be treated. All animals deserve love, care, and understanding!

“My typically timid Leo warmed up to Alex within minutes and only briefly hesitated before trotting off for their first walk together. Alex was wonderful and reassuring to him.”

About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 years old, and ever since then I have always had an animal by my side. From cats to dogs to even ducks and chickens! I love them all! I have done my best to master the art of giving cats medication( which is no easy task) and have become and expert in hiding pills in cheese for our dogs! I would love to help take care of your fur babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom for my two little girls so my schedule is generally wide open besides the frequent trips to the playground! I have two dogs myself, and we can take long walks on the near by trail or around the neighborhood! Also have an extra crate if need be

“Hayley is the absolute best. Our pets love her, and we’ve been using her for some time now. She always goes above and beyond, and leave great notes about each check in.”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. I had a dog growing up and have a cat from childhood into my twenties, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. From walks, playtime, and training reinforcement to litter care, feeding schedules, and lots of cuddles — I’m comfortable and confident with both dogs and cats. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently applying to graduate school for my Master’s in Nursing and working part-time, which has helped me become very organized, responsible, and mindful with my schedule. I plan my days carefully and make sure I have dedicated time set aside for pet visits, walks, feeding, and quality attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is actually a great balance to my academic and work responsibilities. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening care, I make sure each visit is unhurried, attentive, and focused on your pet’s safety and comfort. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m very affectionate and love giving pets the attention they deserve, but I also prioritize safety above everything. I’m attentive to routines, careful with doors and leashes, mindful on walks, and respectful of any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they feel safe.

About: I have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I provide feeding, walks, drop in visits, playtime, enrichment, and medication administration with patience and care. I grew up with two Dachshunds and two Border Collies, which gave me experience with both energetic working dogs and smaller companion breeds. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from pugs to Bernese Mountain Dogs, as well as young cats, senior cats, and foster cats preparing for their forever homes. What sets me apart is my calm, structured, and dependable approach. I understand how important routines are for pets and work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also clean, tidy, respectful in clients’ homes, and committed to providing trustworthy care you can rely on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining consistent care schedules. I am a teacher with the summers off. I prioritize reliability, communication, and routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m flexible with walks, drop ins, and feeding schedules. I make sure each pet gets individual attention, exercise, affection, and care based on their specific needs and energy level. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and any household rules to keep pets comfortable. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior so I can respond calmly and appropriately to their needs. I keep homes clean and tidy, ensure doors and gates are secure. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect.

About: I've had at least one dog in my house since I was in first grade. My first dog is no longer with us however, I currently have a 9-year-old black lab and a 7-month-old silver lab. My dogs love to go on hiking trails, and with your permission, I can also take your dog to new locations. I unfortunately don't have experience with other people's dogs except for friends and family. I'm currently working part-time, so I'm very flexible with times. I will put my dogs' needs first, however, making sure I have time to give them the exercise and attention they deserve. My dogs are my best friends. I always show love and respect towards them. I also understand how a dog's life can be boring sometimes. Giving them a new environment to sniff out creates a happy and exhausted pup. I try to take my older dog on a new walk/hike every week to give them an adventure and something to look forward to. I'm hoping to provide the same for your dogs. I am also a runner, so I wouldn't mind running alongside your dog. Walking/hiking/running, whatever you prefer.

“Emily has cared for Jack twice. She goes above and beyond, making sure he’s getting enough fresh air and exercise on extended walks and enough TLC while we’re away. Highly recommend.”

About: Ever since a young age, I have been taking care of animals. For 14 years, I had a white German Shepherd, and she was truly part of the family. Starting in high school I would volunteer to pet sit for anyone who needed my services! No matter big or small, I love them all. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pets of my own currently, so I have to get my puppy loving from other peoples pets! I’d love to get the chance to help you out! Right now I’m currently available after 4:30 PM during the weekdays. If given enough notice, I’m available, full weekends as well. I know most people love planning ahead and so do I! Considering your pet will be in their own home, I will do my best to stick to their usual routine. Whether it’s letting them out on a leash or in your fenced in backyard. If your pet uses a cage, I will follow whatever protocol you choose!

“Hayley is awesome! Super communicative and reliable, and most importantly, Brickley LOVES her!!”
