“Miranda has been wonderful with drop in visits for my dog. She is easy to work with, great communication, reliable, and clearly enjoys her work and spending time with animals.”

“Ellie was phenomenal with my cat Nami, taking time to play with her and pet her when she dropped in to care for her. It was my first time leaving Nami for a long trip but having Ellie send daily pictures really alleviated my anxiety. I definitely plan on hiring her again.”


“Caprice fed our cat for the weekend, and was very communicative, sent lots of photos and made us feel comfortable that Hendrix was safe and happy while we were away. We would definitely work with her again!”

“Our pup is on a food trial and needed to taking medication and each of his poop rated and logged. Rachel was excellent and carrying out all the meticulous instructions consistently and made sure to share pictures and elaborate feedback about each of her visits for three days we needed her help. Needless to say, Loki loved her. I highly recommend her and would definitely rebook”

“Nicole was great! She took good care of my senior cat. She showed up when she said she would and I didn't have to worry about anything. I'd definitely book with her again!”

About: I've taken care of my dog for 10 years with the rest of my family. As well as taking dog sitting for other pets, have done overnight and just check ups. Very flexible, can walk or look after your pet almost every day of the week this summer. Can also do almost any hour of the day. I can't keep pets at my current apartment. But if I did I would make sure they have enough bathroom breaks throughout the day and are well fed and hydrated! I would make sure your dog is always accounted for and I am ready for anything!

About: Hi! I'm Rachel. I have been obsessed with dogs since I can remember! My first word was "doggy-oggy-oggy!" I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years and absolutely love helping other pet owners when they need it! I have worked with dogs of every age range, including senior to puppy. Right now I am looking to primarily dog walk to get more steps in and spend more time with pups! I can also do drop ins for those that need it. Thank you! I have a dog myself (he is more of a miniature horse) at 96 pounds! He is my best friend! I walk him twice a day, and would love to help out as many other dog parents who need walks for their dogs as well! I have a fenced in yard, if there is ever a need to bring your pet to my house and I have 2 crates as well. Ensuring a safe environment for your pup is my top priority.
“Cheryl was easy to work with, and went above and beyond our expectations! She communicated with us contiguously throughout our vacation. We hopefully will be able to work with her again going forward :)”

About: Hi, I'm Nikki! I'm new to Rover but I've helped care for animals for many years. I've worked for a dog walking company and it was one of the best jobs I've had in my life. Being out, exploring, and getting exercise was fun for both me and the dogs on my route. I'd give reports and take photos of all our outings. From there, I worked at an animal hospital assisting vet techs and doctors by walking, feeding and holding the animals for their treatments. I learned so much, especially about having patience and compassion for animals that are sick and scared. I gained a lot of knowledge about safe animal handling and body language. I've also completed Fear Free training! I have adopted a pretty quirky Beagle/Boston terrier mix about 10 yrs ago and he's kept me busy ever since. He's very smart and active. A lot of understanding and keeping him busy have helped him come such a long way. It's been so rewarding to see! Are you looking to get your pets out and about while you're at work? I'm available weekdays from the morning until early evening. I'm available for a Saturday morning stroll as well! I would care for your pet as you request. Whether it be a neighborhood walk, a fenced in yard, or a path nearby, I look forward to doing what your pet enjoys! I always have safety in mind, so your pet would always be under supervision and leashed in my care.
“Jess is literally the best sitter ever! We have went through countless people and she’s the only one who I have truly felt has cared about my pup as much as I do! She’s amazing with Winnie ( my pup)! She’s flexible, accountable, and always messages updates and timely notice when she cannot come so I can figure out other plans. My dog is probably more excited to see her than me some days, would highly recommend her if she has opening!”


“Marissa did a wonderful job dog sitting for us this past week! Dogs loved her, got to play fetch everyday, and we got photos and updates daily. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: I've taken care of my own family's dogs since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. I am a nursing student looking to make some cash in a fun way. I currently have tuesday and wednesday afternoons off, all day off on fridays, and weekends off too. I am unavailable Mondays and Thursdays. As a walker I am comfortable applying harnesses/collars and leashes. I can walk as little or as long as you and your dog would like! If you have a fenced in yard I am happy to play fetch, tug, etc. outside. If no fenced in yard, I can play inside or just keep walking!
“I was a bit anxious about leaving my dog while I went on vacation. Laura provided twice a day drop in visits and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. More importantly, my dog Lila enjoyed her visits and playtime. Laura provided me with updates and photos at each visit, which put me at ease. Thank you to Laura for being professional, caring and a snuggle buddy for my little girl . I highly recommend Laura and Rover.. will use these services again for sure!”

About: I’ve had and have been around many different kinds of animals since a child. I have trained and cared for animals of all breeds. I have also completed 30+ hours of community service at the Hotel for Homeless Dogs Animal Shelter. I love being active with pets, making sure they feel loved, cared for, and appreciated. I love all animals of all breeds and I always make sure they have the best time when i’m with them! I am a college student so in the Rhode Island area I am only available during the summer and during school breaks. During the school year I spend time doing dog walking and drop in visits. I have a big open yard for animals and a lot of space inside my house. I always make sure the pets are comfortable with me and their environment. I make sure to follow all rules giving by the owners while making sure the pet is in a happy condition.
About: Always lived with dogs when I was young and miss it definitely want some more animal love in my life and always need extra cash I work full time and want to make extra money so my schedule will be later in the day during the week and Varys on weekends I always have my eyes out for animals best interest and it warms my heart to give them nothing but love and car. . .

Smithfield dog parents share their Rover experiences
Erik was wonderful and did great job taking care of our dog. Right off the bat he was quick to respond and great at communicating. During the meet and greet he asked all the right questions to make sure he knew everything he needed to take care our dog while we were away. During our time away Erik sent us videos and gave daily updates on how everything was going. He was flexible and reliable. He clearly has a love for animals and our dog was happy and relaxed with him. I look forward to booking Erik again in the future and highly recommend him.
