“It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.”
“Carly was AMAZING! It was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our house and it was for an extended period of time. Finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter was my main concern for our trip, but Carley alleviated all of my concerns. She sent regular photos and updates, and we came back to our home in perfect condition. All of the animals love her and I already have her booked for our next trip!”

“Carissa was awesome during a 3 day house sit! she was so patient with our little guys and they love her!! She sent tons of pics/videos and updates and was really communicative with us. She was also really flexible when we let her know beforehand that one of our doggies had just started limping right before we left. It was an extra cute/sweet touch that she left a little drawing of the doggies. Highly recommend!!”

“Julia helped us out last minute when we couldn't find anyone to stay with our dogs overnight. She was great! She communicated with us and took good care of our 2 goldendoodles. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”

“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”

“Haley did everything that I asked of her and more. She was extremely responsive, sent many photos, and provided constant updates which made me as a pet parent extremely happy to know that my pup was in good hands. The house was in perfect condition when I got back home as well. Will definitely re-book again! Thank you Haley!”

“Morgan is a fantastic pet sitter! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog and cat were in the best hands. Her communication was perfect, from coordinating a meet and greet through the end of sitting. She followed my pet's routines and gave them tons of love and attention, I highly recommend her! She also sent me pictures and video updates which were super appreciated.”

About: Your baby is my utmost priority, whether walking, playing or sitting, unless you have multiple animals, your baby recieves 100% of my attention. I have many years of experience with large breed dogs and am comfortable with any breed. I am a semi-retired man that lost both his support animal and career in 2025, because of that I have a relatively open schedule as i feel like a ship without a rudder. Once booked your baby becomes part of my routine and will not change unless you specify. I know what my baby was to me and my family not only as my support animal for ptsd but as family and I promise your baby will recieve that same love. Whether they need a walk, run, play, nap, pets or just to sit on the couch and get attention, be assured I will provide that as making your furry family member happy makes me happy. Whether in a client's or my own home your fur baby will recieve love, compassion, playtime, and of course treats(if you approve). I follow all instructions left by the client and ensure their pets safety. I only work with 1 pet at a time, unless it is same household as I believe you hired someone for your baby to spend time with. I will take pets to any play dates, appointments, etc as organized or approved by the client. I ensure pets are safely buckled in my vehicle while driving should your fur family want a ride or to visit a local park. I always provide waste bags, bottled water, and treats (with approval) for my clients.
About: I have been volunteering with animal rescues since I was in high school along with dogwalking in my hometown. I have spent the past three years in college volunteering with the local animal shelter walking their dogs to relieve them of time in the shelter. On these walks I take the time to work on basic skills and socialization. I am completing my MBA this summer, and would love to help you out with any of your pet care needs! I am finishing up my MBA at Bryant University leaving me with an open availability days outside of my classes which are Mondays and Wednesdays. I have previously handled multiple different dogs in different situations. I always aim to make the animal feel the most comfortable in every situation. I plan to care for your pets on your own terms whether that be in your own backyard or on walks near your house.
“Rayna did an incredible job with my dog, Lucy!! She asked how many updates I wanted on Lucy while I was away and I told her there was no limit, and she delivered the most fun photos and updates! Lucy clearly felt so comfortable with Rayna! I will absolutely be booking again.”


“Sophia was great! 10 out of 10 would recommend for sitting your pet! We were able to meet her before she stayed at our house! This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs for a few days to head to vacation and she was always sending us updated on how they were doing! We will be rebooking with Sophia for our next vacation to stay with our 2 dogs!”

“Maya was fantastic with our VERY energetic large puppy and kitties. We appreciated receiving photos, questions and updates along the way. We felt confident our pets and home were in good hands which allowed us to enjoy extended time away. We returned home to a clean house and happy healthy pets! I highly recommend Maya and will certainly rebook in the future.”

Smithfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marie took very good care of our kitty Maia. We could tell she was provided for very carefully when we got home. Anything we asked her to do was done and our place was also left super spotless. We’re very happy with the care and love that was given to our sweet girl. Although we missed her tremendously, we knew she was in great hands and that made our trip even better.

Marie is absolutely phenomenal!! She gave us such peace of mind while we were out of the country for 8 days for our wedding. I did not have to worry once! Marie kept constant communication, sent photos and gave us updates throughout. She made sure to do everything for our babies so it was as is we hadn’t even left. And my 2 kitties fell in love with her! I have 1 kitty that is very scared of a lot of things and Marie was able to get her comfortable so much so to cuddle with her! Thank you so very much Marie! You are the very best and we absolutely love you!!!❤️❤️❤️
