Pet Sitting South Elmwood

About: Hello! I’m Tierney. I’m new to Rover, but I am experienced in pet care. I have worked with furry friends of all sizes, ages, and needs (trust me, I’m a pro at sneakily administering meds with the help of peanut butter)! I’m also excited about ensuring that you feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I have been known to take super cute pictures of pets for text threads. Let’s work together! I am currently working freelance, so I have the freedom to build my own schedule. I have a lot of availability as a result. No matter the time of day, I can be there to care for your furry friend! When pet sitting, I successfully create a safe environment through open communication with my clients. I know prior to working with an animal the exact expectations of the owner.

“Super reliable and very easy to work with. Very responsive with communication. My cats looked very happy in photos and when I came back home. Kaitlin did a great job taking care of my kitties!”

Jessica M.

“Another great visit with Bri! Thank you for taking such good care of our furbaby while we were away. Bri is dependable, and reliable. Will definitely rebook for future visits.”

Shirley B.

“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”

Amber & Zachary R.

“Renee is great! I requested her on Monday to come to my home Tuesday through Friday for puppy visits and she agreed and came by Monday night to meet me and my pup! She’s been awesome, and her updates are great. She tells me exactly what the pup does when she visits, walks, pees, poos, eats, plays, and tricks that I’ve been working on that she reinforces. Would highly recommend.”

Sarah P.

“Heath did an amazing job watching our pups! I have 3 dogs and one is a senior dog with mobility issues. All the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Heath was also very communicative, and punctual with all the drop in times. We will absolutely book him again for future persisting needs!”

Alyy S.

“Liana was fantastic! She was responsive, prompt for our meet and greet, and kept in touch with messages and photos while taking care of our senior kitty. Will definitely use her again!”

Jennifer K.

“Emily was so great!! She sent so many photos and provided positive updates the entire time. We could tell our kitty was having a wonderful time during her drop-in visits while we were away.”

Katrina D.

“Thank you for your great service! We will definitely get in touch again when we need you.”

Carla S.

“Carse was great with my two boys, even getting my shy guy out and rolling around on his back for belly rubs by the second visit. She was great and I’ll definitly re-book with her.”

Elizabeth D.

“Karen was once again great with my 2 Siameses Jade and Amethyst. She kept me well informed on how they were doing. They warmed up to Karen right away. I definitely recommend Karen! Thanks again!”

Todd D.

“Jessica is always responsive, reliable and trustworthy. Will be using her again! :)”

Julia K.

“Julia is very communicative and always on time. She is always available to help last minute which is so refreshing! Thank you!!”

About: I live in a comfortable and engaging home, where I have been caring for my little balls of energy for more than 10 years and counting. I know how important it is to be able to take care of your loved ones, especially when you may be physically unable to. I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for most dogs to spend some outdoor time in and I also live near park areas if they need a little extra room. I have a growing assortment of toys to also help fulfill any entertainment needs your pet may desire beyond personal attention. I am extremely attentive and observant, so it is very important to me that pets are always comfortable and that they are maintaining healthy behaviors when they are within my care. I understand how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your pets with someone other than yourself, so I want to assure you - I absolutely adore animals, and would love the opportunity to not only take care of yours one day, but to also build a relationship that is dependable and trustworthy. I recently made the decision to return to school closer to home, so I'll have plenty of time to look after your pets while working/studying from home. I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs that are small and extremely friendly. I make sure they get exercise everyday and maintain a stable diet. I try to inspire good behavior by rewarding it and also try to fulfill their attentiveness needs (such as playing with them occasionally or ensuring they are clean by performing fur checks)

About: Hii! I volunteered at shelters but I preferred building a relationship with pets in Rhode Island :) I grew up around many dogs and cats. A fun challenge was when we adopted our German Shepherd puppy! Training him was a fun challenge, but it was harder (yet more rewarding) when we adopted his brother as well! Now they’re grown and trained but I can still see the little puppy they are in their eyes! I also have a senior dog that needs extra care, but I love making sure she’s comfy and gets her massages. I work a hybrid 9-5, so I can make time mornings and evenings for pet care. On my work from home days I am more flexible to do care during the day. Weekends are fully available! In your home I would make sure pets are in their designated areas and can’t escape! Cleanliness is the largest thing I would keep in mind while making sure your pet is comfortable!

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

About: Proud cat and dog owner, I’ve also been house/pet-sitting for friends and family throughout the years, I can help clip claws, administer medicine, go on walks, enrichment activities! I can do it all! Currently between full time jobs post-graduating college, so I am more than available for any of your pet sitting needs! You can reach me through Rover or my phone number! At home I have a pet friendly home, fenced in yard and even gates throughout the thresholds to make sure pets are monitored in a contained (large, free-roaming) area. I am someone who is very cautious when it comes to safety as well, always making sure doors are locked, electric devices are turned off, and that I know where the pets are at all times.

“Great job!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, not just the usual dogs and cats, but also horses, goats, chickens, and many other farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to care for all kinds of animals with confidence, patience, and genuine love. I’ve babysat dogs, cats, and even bunnies for others, and I have hands-on experience with tasks like feeding, bathing, grooming, and giving each pet plenty of playtime and cuddles. I’ve also trained my own dogs over the years, working on things like sitting, staying, and basic manners. Because of my lifelong experience and my deep love for animals, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making every animal feel safe, happy, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m a full-time student at URI, but on most weekdays I finish classes no later than 4:30, which means I’m available for evening visits, walks, and drop-ins. I also keep my weekends open for pet care, giving me plenty of flexible time for longer visits or overnight stays. I do attend church on Sunday mornings for about an hour with family but aside from that, my schedule is very open. I’m committed to making sure each pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care, and I always plan my days so I can give animals the time and love they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions exactly as given. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I always keep their environment clean, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and maintaining their normal living space. I also send updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, calm, and cozy space where they can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to their needs throughout the day, whether that’s exercise, training, cuddles, or quiet time. I make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and getting the same love and structure they’re used to. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and well taken care of.

“Natasha is great! She fed my pup who has several medications with his dinner and walked him after for a drop in visit. She even kindly washed his dish. Sounds like he gets excited to see her and I trust she will always come on time and take good care for my boy.”
