“Dorota took our baby Ricky when we needed a last minute daytime dogsit. She is always very flexible and wants to do what's best for the dogs she sits for!! And as always, she sends lots of GREAT pictures!! Morning Roll Call is our personal favorite!!”
“This is a review from a repeating costumer… I am very happy with Anely. I trust leaving my pup Nico with her for daycare. My pup comes home tired and happy after a day under her care.”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Michelle and my pup, Neo, have a great time together at daycare. Michelle is very good at sending me updates/photos on how my little guy is doing. She is very responsible and trustworthy dog sitter. I plan to continue working with her for my pup needs. I highly recommend, Michelle!”
“Baron had a great day with Isabel and her fiancée! Despite him being a slightly anxious pup at times, he seemed to be at ease, relaxed, and enjoying his time. Isabel was very responsive and took very good care of Baron. I will definitely be booking with Isabel again!”
“Elba is a great dog sitter. I came to Rhode Island for the weekend and contacted Elba same day and she responded very fast. She took great care of my puppy. Elba went beyond her duty and send me pictures and kept me posted. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.
About: Worked in dog daycares on and off since i was 16, but ive always had my own animals. I can also, give medication and basic baths. I’ll be with the dogs always, i do have a separate room if needed for emergencies. Bathroom breaks as often as needed and food/snacks upon parent approval/request I will always follow instructions left to me, and animals will never be left unattended in my care. My own animals are like my kids to me.
“Lydia is the absolute best! From the second I met her, I knew that my sweet cavapoo, Sunny, was going to be loved on and well taken care of - and that was exactly the case! Lydia provided consistent communication and Sunny had the best time. So thankful I found someone so wonderful and reliable to watch my girl when needed❤️”
“Oxana took great care of our dog Bruno while we were gone for a couple of hours. She took him on a long walk to the park and sent us plenty of updates/photos throughout the day. Oxana - we can’t thank you enough!”
About: Hi! I’m Georga, a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience. I’m also a full time graduate student who mostly works from home, so I have lots of time and attention to give to your pets. I have a Boston terrier named Harley, a goofy and friendly 4 year old who loves making new friends (human and furry alike!) so I know important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and loved while you’re away and that’s exactly is exactly the kind of care I provide. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan walks, drop in visits, and playtime throughout the day, and I enjoy breaking up my work with some pet cuddles. I will follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible and send lots of update pics along the way! Overall, I will spend quality time giving attention, play, and enrichment so your pet can feel comfortable and cared for.
“Sarah is awesome as always. My pup has stayed with her multiple times and she always makes sure my pup is very comfortable and gets all the cuddles. She always gives me updates and send me pictures and videos. Will definitely recommend her.”
About: I adopted a dog 6 years ago back home in India and have dog sat a bunch of dogs since then including a 2 month old golden retriever puppy (my room has never been visited more). I have a few classes during the week but nothing that prevents me from giving your dog all my attention. Whenever I’m at a class I also have a million dog-loving friends who’d love to spend time with your best friend :) We have a relatively large house with a small backyard but I love going on walks all over Brown’s campus so your dog will definitely have many sniffaris.
“I know I have reviewed rich in the past but he has just continued to be exceptional. He and his wife are so easy and accommodating when I bring Ada to daycare. My work schedule is wonky and I sometimes need to adjust pickup times and are very nice and flexible. Most importantly my pup always trots inside happy and comes home happy! what's better than that? ”
“Valerie was a very caring and attentive to my Simba's needs. My family has taken him to her 3 times and she sends me photos of him throughout the day. She takes him on his walks and makes sure that he is comfortable and clean throughout the day. He is a very active puppy but Valerie is able to keep him disciplined. Would definitely recommend bringing your dog and leaving them in Valerie's care!”
“Lisa was so good with our dog, very attentive, and very clearly a pet lover! We also received many cute pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Our dog had a great time with her. Highly recommend!”
“Zachary was great and took Oakley in last-minute after my other sitter cancelled. He was very understanding of Oakley's needs and they seemed to have a great time!”
About: Helped raise my family dog when I was growing up and it helped me prepare for being a dog mom to my 3 year old Cavapoo who is very lovable and well trained! She communicates with buttons and knows plenty of tricks! I work remote and have flexible hours! I’m taking care of my own dog and can definitely take care of yours too! I will make sure your pet gets all of the love and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard with no way of escaping/jumping over it. My 15 lb Cavapoo is extremely friendly so as long as your dog gets along with other dogs we will have a great time! Please let me know if your dog is food aggressive and I will ensure that they are fed separately if you’re boarding your dog with me.
Smith Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are so incredibly grateful for Anely’s help this past week caring for our sweet Charlie while she recovered from stomach surgery. She was so patient, calm, and understanding with our anxious little girl, and it meant the world to us to know Charlie was in such kind hands. Anyone who has the chance to have their fur baby watched by Anely is truly very lucky. 💛
Eliza did a great job taking care of my dog while I was taking a day trip in Providence. Her communication was excellent and I appreciated her flexibility around the dropoff, since I was traveling from out of town. My dog was happy at both the dropoff and pickup - that's what we like to see!
Pillie has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Mati. She sends us so many photo and video updates so that we know our dog is in good hands. Mati snapped the retractable leash we had for her and Pillie generously gave us a spare of her own. She is always caring and understanding that Mati is a bit of a nervous wreck at drop-off.
Tammy is incredible as always. Understanding and was willing to accommodate for a last minute change in my plans. She takes such good care of Obi and he really enjoys spending time with her! Where he's nervous to go with some people he ran right inside tail wagging.
From the moment I pulled up, I had a great feeling about leaving Caroline with Matthew. He was outside playing with his pup and the strong bond they have was obvious. While watching Caroline, Matthew sent great photos and was very communicative. Would 100% recommend for doggy daycare!
Thanks, Ty! Charlie had a great time with Ty and her family! She was very accommodating and her home was perfectly set-up to have pets visiting. Her was clean and charming and I was more than comfortable leaving Charlie there for the day. We will definitely use her services again. 😊
Connie took really good care of my dog for the day. He wasn’t acting right (barking and whining constantly), so Connie took him on long walks and communicated VERY well. She tried my suggestions but they didn’t help. This was the first time he has been like this and I couldn’t have asked for a sitter to handle this any better than Connie did. I recommend her to others whole heartedly. Thanks Connie!
