“This was our first time using Rover and Heath was amazing. They explained the whole process during the first meeting and everything went smoothly during their visits. They even coaxed out our shy kitten. We would definitely have Heath watch the cats again.”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental, I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.

About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.

“We had a wonderful experience! Emily was able to help us on very short notice, which was a huge relief. She took excellent care of our two cats, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

“Cayla was fantastic with my cat. I was new to Rover and had to make last minute changes, and Cayla was flexible and amiable throughout. She came on time, sent photos, and was responsive. I highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs and cats, which taught me the patience and responsibility needed to care for animals. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior dogs who need gentle care and attention. I am currently a student at the Rhode Island School of Design but taking a break from school, so I am available everyday morning-afternoon-evening! I am very familiar with handling all kinds of emergencies when it comes to dogs and I am especially good in situations where a dog may grab or swallow something they shouldn’t have (thanks to my lovely but kind of crazy dog back home :)) I am also good with providing exercise routines suited to each dog’s energy level. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.

“Thanks Bri! Love the photos and Zeke’s report card. I feel much better knowing that I can leave him occasionally and have someone stop by to take great care of him:). Will definitely reach out in the future!”

“Renee has been checking in on our big goofball for several weeks now. He can be a bit skittish when he first meets people, but he adored her right away. She is wonderful with him and always sends detailed reports when she's done with her visits. Renee is great!”

“Anindita was great with our cat while we were away. She communicated well, we never had to worry if our pet was doing ok. We are really happy with our experience”

Alison N.

“This was my first time using Rover since I’m usually the one doing the pet sitting, so I was a little nervous leaving my cats with someone new. Caprice was great! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was away and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

Chelsea F.

“Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.”

“Maya went above and beyond for my three kitties!! She is an absolutely delightful person and you can tell she truly cares for your pets like she would her own. I will definitely be using her again and again. Thank you Maya! 🩷🐾🩷”

“Michelle did a wonderful job looking after our kitty during an international trip. She was great at keeping in touch with us and sent great updates and photos. She gave us real peace of mind. We would definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.

“she’s the best!”

“Grace was excellent with taking care of my two older kitties! They’re both on medications and she was able to administer without issues. She’s reliable and had great communication.”

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

“Olivia took such great care of Phoebe while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and did everything she could to make Phoebe comfortable even though she isn’t always the best with strangers. Would highly recommend Olivia!”
