“My dog was so fortunate to have Jessica taking care of him, she really went above and beyond. If we go away, I’d absolutely love to have her walk our dog again. 5 stars!”

“Natasha was great with my pup! He loved his walks and the attention she gave him. She was very professional and super quick to respond to any messages for booking. She even brought in a package for me that came during his walk which was very kind of her.”

About: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty. I still love my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home or in your home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
“My husband met with Fiona only about 1 week after we moved to Cranston. We have a senior coonhound. He's big, he's sometimes stubborn and he had just moved away from a dog walker he loved that he'd known for 7 1/2 years. But Fiona is great! She has handled Bingley like a champ. He's warmed up to her pretty quickly and is gaining confidence in the new neighborhood. She sees him twice a week (when my husband goes into his office) and takes amazing photos with him. She's super responsive and was even able to squeeze in another last minute walk request. We're really happy so far, and I think Bingley is too :) Fiona is exactly what we needed: someone reliable, kind and patient who doesn't mind an old dog with "opinions."”

About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.
“Christa is a lifesaver! She is so sweet and has great availability. I can leave the house with peace of mind knowing that my energetic 70 lb pup is in great hands with Christa!”

About: My wife and I love dogs. I have 2 kids, one in second grade and the other in pre-k. My wife is an elementary school teacher and I work remotely in tech.

I have a flexible schedule so I can make most schedules work. I would love to work with you, and am looking forward to hearing from you. I strive to respond within an hour for every inquiry!

About: Hi everybody, my name is Liz and I look forward to caring for your adorable animals! I understand that your pets are part of the family and it is difficult to leave them when going away. That’s why I hope to provide the best care so your animals can continue to thrive. I started walking my neighbors dog as a little kid for extra chore money which soon expanded to walking multiple dogs in my neighborhood. Throughout my 20s I assisted friends & family with walking and house sitting. I am comfortable with cats as well and currently have two cats of my own. I have experience with injections for diabetic cats as well and oral medications & ear drops for both dogs and cats. If it is allowed by the owners, I’m happy to take your dog in my car to the park or beach for extra exercise and entertainment. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I currently work part-time as a group therapist working 7am-3pm with rotating weekends. I am available to spend the night at your home regardless of my part-time schedule. I have two friendly cats who have a lot of experience being around dogs. I have plenty of space for a dog to move around and I don’t mind dogs being on the couch.
About: Hello! Hanging with my family and friends’ dogs was always something I enjoyed and grew to love even more after joining Rover in 2018. It’s been a few years since I’ve taken on any Rover clients, but I’m still the go-to dog sitting friend. Dogs generally gravitate toward me and immediately feel comfortable. The same goes for me with them. That being said, I’m not pushy and I always follow the owner’s lead when interacting with their dog, especially for the first time. I work full time but mostly from home, so my schedule can be pretty flexible. I’m available for one-off walks or to dog sit for days at a time in your home. I follow instructions. I treat your home with respect. I pay attention to surroundings while on walks, especially since I could lead your pet on a route different than their used to.
“Keasha genuinely loves animals and quickly built a rapport with Lily. She came home grateful for her water bowl and doggie bed. We have found a great dog walker for our fur baby.”

If they are allowed to do the same as Luca then we will happily all snuggle up ! Please bring a leash for your dog so we can take them for walks. Please tell us any specific instructions needed to care for your dog. Please provide us your veterinarian contact info incase of emergencies. Hannah works remote full time from home Monday -Friday !

About: All my life I have had Rottweilers and pit bulls so I am neither scared nor a novice to them. From the puppy razor teeth to the elder no teeth. All my dogs are well trained and taken care of and I would love to take care of yours. If your pet needs meds no problem a quick scrub down is no issue. I am very attentive to behavior and will meet your dogs right where they are at. I work between 20-25 hours a week usually done is 3-4 days so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I pay attention to your animals needs so that no accidents happen in the house and can make sure the bathroom usage is set to your pets needs. I have alarms set for feeding times and other care measures so that your pet and mine are comfortable and always know when something is coming up. I keep whatever area I am working in safe and clean and am very careful of food and street litter when on walks making sure your animals don’t get into something they shouldn’t. I have no issue cleaning up after animal mess and am able to make adjustments and changes to suit your pets needs.
About: Have many years of experience growing up in a home with cats and dogs, helping sit my friend’s and family’s dogs, and as a cat mom for 5 years. I recently finished my masters degree and now have a very flexible schedule as I look for my next opportunity! Very happy to accommodate different scheduling needs. Not able to bring your pets to my own home, but happy to hang with them at yours, take them out for long or short walks, and give them the love they deserve!
“What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.”


“Eden was the most reliable, most communicative, loviest dog walker in the world. She gave us many updates and answered all our questions. We were so lucky to find her ! Thank you for everything, Eden, and we will be in touch for future walks with you!”
About: Since I was very little I have liked pets, I have always been affectionate and affectionate with them. I have always been responsive, sociable and very loving, I like to learn and I love challenges. Perfect, I don't see this as a job, rather it is a nice pastime to relieve stress and give love and affection to those who need it. It's a kind of therapy. I offer to be his caregiver, a friend to play with, feed him, take him for a walk, spoil him, among other things he needs.
South Elmwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
I'm very happy with my choice of Amanda to walk my dog. She's the best poop picker upper and awesome at petting dogs. I knew I had made the right choice when Dude (my dog) sat me down after dinner and said how much he appreciates that I got him such a great dog walker.

Brooke did a drop in visit for a couple of days in a row and was amazing with our two dogs! She was timely and very communicative. Her updates are the best! The dogs both really liked her and enjoyed their walks (even when it was raining one day). Will definitely book again!

I would highly recommend hiring Crystal for your needs. She was promp and very communicative throughout the whole process. I was very hesitant at first being my first time using this service but doing a meet before hand really set my mind at ease. Not to mention my dog loved her. She kept me up to date on the walks and took some great photos. And she made sure my dogs food and water was taken care of before leaving as well.
