About: I’ve been walking and pet sitting for about 3 years. I am in my zone when I am around pets. I’m very patient and pay attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra comfort. I make sure they stay on their routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always keep their environment clean and safe. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, exercise, and quick check-ins. I’m reliable and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and movement they need. I always put your dog’s safety first during walks. I stay aware of our surroundings, keep a secure leash, and follow your instructions so your dog feels comfortable and safe the whole time.
“Grace was everything I had hoped for and more. From the moment I met her, she was warm, upbeat, and genuinely kind—especially with my dog, Violet. She has a natural confidence and a calming presence that immediately put me at ease. Violet is a senior and can be a bit strong-willed, but Grace handled her with patience, care, and real attentiveness. I was out of the country for a week, and knowing Grace was at my home taking such good care of her gave me complete peace of mind. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—they meant a lot while I was away. I’m truly grateful for Grace and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“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 are visiting the area with our 2 dogs. I’m so happy I found Maya to stayed with them while we went out to dinner. She is very sweet and knows how to handle any dog size and personality. She gain their trust quickly and played a lot with our very active GSP. We will book her again in a couple of days.”
“Raina was AMAZING! 🤩 She cared so well for our 2 dogs. One small, one large. Also our home she took great care of! We will absolutely have her back! We would recommend her to everyone! 9 days she stayed & we did not have one issue or worry! She followed every rule we had & went above and beyond! Love her!”
“I would highly recommend JL, and his girlfriend Daina! They stayed at our house and took excellent care of our 3 doggos, one with pretty high anxiety. They were even able to extend their stay when we needed to stay away longer. This was our first time using Rover, and it won’t be our last, and we will definitely request JL!”
“This is our 2nd time using Sophie for in home dog sitting. Sophie engages, plays and loves Luna while caring for her & also sends updates and pictures often. Our dog is always happy and very well taken care of.”
“Bri was an outstanding dog/house sitter! She took wonderful care of our 15 year old yellow lab and we are impressed with her communication and attention to detail. Bri sent daily updates and pictures while we were away and our sweet dog, and home, were both very well cared for. We’ve already booked her again!”
“I felt very relieved knowing I could trust Savannah with my cats. She did a great job taking care of them. I received pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Savannah to anyone who has special fur babies. The next time I plan a vacation, Savannah will be one of the first people I'll call.”
About: I have fostered animals (mostly cats) for two years and have cats of my own. I have experience caring for cats and dogs from 10 weeks to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals at a time. I have experience in giving dogs and cats medication. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, coordination of care, waste management, and pet enrichment. I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hermit crabs, 3 fish, and 1 guinea pig (thankfully not all at the same time!). I also have experience in working with farm animals (horses, chickens, ducks) and rode horses for a few years. I’m currently a full time special education teacher and I’m available in the afternoon/evening and on weekends. After June, my schedule will be more flexible and I will have additional availability during the summer months. I have 3 cats of my own (Boo, Sam, & Taylor) and 1 step-cat, Cleo (she does not live with me). I love working with animals and look forward to caring for yours! I currently work full-time as a teacher and will be more available during the summer starting late June to late August. However, I will be available afternoons and on weekends. Pet safety is extremely important to me. Since I’ll be caring for animals in your home, I’ll collaborate on any safety concerns on the property or in general. I’m able to easily crate dogs and I always walk dogs on leash. I ensure that all exits and entrances are properly closed so that pets don’t get out. I also don’t allow cats outside. I will also coordinate with you on if there are any local environmental concerns (nearby construction, a door in you home that sticks,
“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.”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
About: I’m a travel nurse without any animals who wants to love on yours! I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old, up to 3 dogs at a time. I trained my puppy while I was in high school and have loved on dogs through their old age as well. I worked at a doggy daycare for a few summers while I was in college. I work 10 hours shift during the week, however I am free in the evenings after 6pm and have one free day during the week. I am always available on the weekends. I understand that all dogs have their own routine, needs & quirks! I am very thorough with the care I provide and will love them like my own! I have experience in dogs with medical needs such as giving them oral meds & injections as well as post-op recovery care.
About: I've taken care of dogs of different ages and all different types. I always meet them where they are at and work with their needs to the best of my ability. My schedule is pretty wide open at the moment so I'm able to do some house sitting/pet sitting as well as walks. Just let me know what your animal's needs are and I'm sure I can accommodate. I am happy to meet any expectations of the owner and adjusting my care based on the uniqueness of the animal I'm caring for. Whatever their normal routine is, I'm happy to maintain that and anything else needed.
“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”
“Emma was amazing. Finn was very happy when we came home. She sent us many pictures and videos of Finn during the week she was here. We are very pleased and will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have had/lived with multiple dogs of different breeds over the years, from puppies to senior pups! I promise to give your furry family member lots of pets and cuddles (if that’s what they like) and treat them just like I would my own dog. After all, I like dogs even more than people! I work from home the majority of the week and am fully available (schedule permitting) on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. For Tuesdays/Wednesdays, I have the ability to let your dog out for potty breaks and play during my hour+ long work break when I am in the office (located nearby in Providence). Typically available on weekends! Message me if you have questions about my availability as I can often move my schedule around to fit yours 😊 When I visit your home to take care of your pet, I will treat both your home and pet with the same respect and care I would my own. Rest assured that I will leave everything just as I found it!
“Julia was absolutely amazing with our fur baby Geralt! She stayed at our home with him during our trip and we came back to a totally spotless home. We could tell that she loved him like one of her own and totally spoiled him. We could not have asked for a better experience and could not recommend Julia enough!”
South Elmwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Desirae was a joy to work with! She was communicative, prompt, and enthusiastic. She shared plenty of photos and updates of the dogs while we were away and the house was exactly as we left it when we returned. Most importantly, the dogs were well looked after and happy. I would definitely work with Desirae again!
JL was absolutely wonderful! We recently used him for dog sitting, and he made the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, and we really appreciated the daily updates and pictures while we were away. JL took great care of our dogs! Knowing they were in such good hands allowed us to truly unwind and enjoy our vacation without worrying. We would definitely recommend JL and would happily book with him again!
Sophie was once again an amazing sitter for Pumpkin! She is very responsive and sends us pictures and updates throughout the week which we always appreciate. She seems to understand Pumpkin and his personality very well and we always come home to a well taken care of and happy dog!
Jonathan was communicative and proactive over the course of the week we were away. He was very attuned to our dog’s needs, including taking extra time and thought to prepare her special food when her appetite was low. Our house was in great shape when we returned. We are grateful for his care and consideration!
Christine was our first ever in-house dog sitter for our two pups and we couldn't have been more pleased. She communicated with us promptly and regularly while we were away, and took great care of our ladies (and house). I would highly recommend her for any of the services she offers.
Lisa was great to work with. One of my dogs is protective of the house/yard and Lisa handled the situation well. Both of my dogs warmed up to her quickly and the updates she provided throughout the stay were comforting. I will definitely contact her again if I need a pet sitter.
Bri was SO phenomenal taking care of our dogs for 2 whole weeks. She communicated daily with awesome, honest updates and made us feel completely secure that our dogs were getting excellent care. She is so organized and professional, and our dogs adored her. We would love to have her watch our dogs for any trip!!
We had such a great experience with Sam!! Our 10 year old mic breed Tobin can be quite shy with new people and warmed up with Sam immediately. Sam was incredibly attentive from the start, taking details notes during drop off and really listening to all our instructions around meals and walking routine. Throughout the stay Sam sent regular updates and photos which was so reassuring (especially since this was our first time doing an in home stay with rover). Sam left our home cleaner than when we left it! We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book Sam again. Highly recommend!
Courtney is everything we want in a pet sitter—reliable, considerate, intuitive, and communicative—and our pup truly enjoyed her company while we were away. We not only came back to a happy dog, but also a clean house that was better than we left it. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup and home, and putting our minds at ease while we were away.
Hannah has been absolutely amazing, truly an angel. She took care of our dog for two weeks and showed incredible commitment and care throughout. Our dog can be challenging, especially due to his anxiety around paw cleaning and eye care, but Hannah handled all of his needs with patience and skill and treated him as if he were her own. She sent daily updates without fail, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she took excellent care of our home and we came back to a house that was even better than we left it. Hannah is exceptional and we would absolutely trust her again. We cannot wait to have her pet sit for us in the future. 🙌🏻
Raina was AMAZING! 🤩 She cared so well for our 2 dogs. One small, one large. Also our home she took great care of! We will absolutely have her back! We would recommend her to everyone! 9 days she stayed & we did not have one issue or worry! She followed every rule we had & went above and beyond! Love her!
Savannah is amazing & I can’t recommend her enough! She house sat for a week with my two dogs & two cats and took such great care of everyone & everything. She is a lovely person who clearly deeply cares about animals & is the best pet sitter I’ve had. I will be hiring her again! Thanks so much Savannah!
