“Kelly was great with our dog who is a rescue and can be a bit reserved meeting new people. She came on short notice and was great with Otis putting him at ease right away. She is very professional and her experience with animals and dogs of all sorts shows. We would definitely hire Kelly again, this was my first time using Rover and I’ll definitely use Kelly again! Very impressed and happy with her service, highly recommend!”


“Karissa was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our pups for an extended period of time, and Karissa sent us so many updates and our pups looked so happy! It was a relief to know our pups were in reliable and kind hands. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”


“This was our first experience using Rover for a drop-in dog walker and Jacqueline was great! We were out of town/on vacation and she responded quickly to my last minute request for our six-month old puppy. Jacqueline was very communicative, spoke to me over the phone when I had questions and took good care of our puppy. I would highly recommend her!”



“Morgan was so wonderful with our last minute request to walk our dog. She was great at communicating, wonderful with our dog and the time she spent with him. If he could talk I know he would say he misses her : ) Thank you Morgan”


“Caitlin was amazing! She communicated so well about everything that was going on during the 2 drop in visits for our dog. She even contacted me before the second drop in visit to ask if our dog was afraid of thunder & lightning. She’s also a great photographer & sent us cute pics of our dog! Highly recommend Caitlin!”


“Sue was fantastic! Our dog Bailey, and two cats felt very comfortable with her. She even sent pictures! Excellent critter sitter! Looking forward to having her back again and would highly recommend her to others. Thanks Sue ???”


“TAYLOR IS SPECTACULAR!!! She’s one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. She is so kind and communicates very well. She adores Hank and goes above and beyond to make sure he has a great time. She takes him on long hikes, to the beach and trail walks. She makes sure her feels right at home when he spends the night. She even gave him a bath before returning him to me after a week away. I can’t say enough positive things about her! Hire her and see for yourself!”


About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring years of dedicated pet care experience to ensure your furry companions thrive. As a proud owner of two happy, healthy rescue dogs, I understand the importance of love, patience, and a safe environment in fostering their well-being. Your pets are not just animals; they're family, and I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve. I am currently taking some time off from the 9 to 5 grind so I have a great deal of flexibility and willingness to accommodate your schedule! I have a large fenced in yard and a very dog- friendly home complete with strategically placed baby gates for any canine guests requiring space from my fur-babies ❤️

“Tracy C. was amazing! He loves her! Tracy came to the house twice a day to care for him. This was the first time I had used Tracy and the first time I had left him overnight in years. Tracy provided pictures each visit - I loved that. Rascal was well cared for and she spent time playing with him. I highly recommend Tracy for your pet-sitting needs.”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have always had multiple cats at a time. Staying at friends house also helped me learn how to take care of farm animals at a young age as well. I work a fulltime and part time job. My hours are flexible on most weekends. During the week preferably before 7 am and after 4 pm. I do not board any pets, but am willing to take care of them at your home. Following steps left by the pet owner and taking notes during our conversation.


“Tracey is an amazing dog sitter! She did check ins on my two small dogs for a week while away on vacation and it couldn’t have been any better! She is very detailed and professional! I got updates three times a day with adorable pictures and exactly what went on during the check ins. My dogs loved her! They played and ate and seemed to really get into a nice routine with her which made me really relax and enjoy my vacation. She even stayed longer when she had the time. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: I am entering my junior year at the University of Rhode Island, earning a degree in animal science, specializing in zoo and aquarium animal science with a focus on behavior and training. The classes I have taken at the university focus on animal biology, care, management, and behavior. Many classes take place on our on-campus farm. I am an animal husbandry volunteer at the mystic aquarium, where I care for various rare, exotic species. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, and am in the process of conducting a behavior based research project with my professor. Throughout my life I have had many pets from cats and dogs, to small mammals and reptiles. I am working a part time summer job at a restaurant mostly working at night. I am available to do drop in visits throughout the day. I will not be able to take your pets into my home because I have pets of my own. Safety is my number one priority for myself and your pets and am willing to work through any challenges your pet may face!

“Zack was amazing with our dog! He dropped in and stayed for longer than we asked him too because he truly cares about the animals he is taking care of. We are thankful for finding him!”

About: I’m a lifelong pet and dog lover with a 7 year-old female spayed lab, Ellie, of my own. I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbor’s dogs for more than 25 years. My Ellie is very calm, friendly, highly socialised, and great with other dogs and children of all ages. I work from home and operate a licensed family daycare with success for more than 25 years. I have weekends off where I have plenty of time to take walks with my own dog and others. I am available for over night dog stays at that time also. My work area is separate, but I have a large fenced in yard with grass. My own dog plays with the children outside, but mostly stays upstairs when we are in. My Ellie often prefers the couch over her dog bed, and I’m fine with that. 😊 I have a completely fenced in backyard where the dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise, but are never outside alone. My dog Ellie loves playing with other dogs and has a portable ‘doggy pool’ when it’s hot and plenty of shade. If your dog enjoys the comfort of their crate or special bed, feel free to bring them along.Home also has central air to keep your fury ones cool.All drop off and pick ups has to be by 7PM

About: I have owned, trained and loved dogs, cats, puppies and kittens all my life. Large breeds and small. I enjoy making friends with every dog or cat I come across. Now that I'm srmi-retired, becoming a pet sitter feels like the most natural job in the world for me. I work only part time, so I have time to pet sit part time. My family is grown and gone, and my only pet at this time is a kitty who doesn't mind my absences I will be caring for pets in their homes. I will follow whatever routines my charges are used to, and the house rules of their masters.

About: I’ve had experienced with all pets since a young age. My experience are from home sitting to walking and exercising. Your dog will always be safe with me. Whatever you schedule is, I’ll be sure to accommodate. I can fit you anytime with short notice. Or we can plan for a later date, let me know what works for you. My yard is not fenced. I live in a single family home. I have a yard where dogs can run around, or I can take him to the park. The house is spacious for the dogs.

Tj D.
“TJ is the absolute best!!!!! I have an elderly chihuahua that requires daily medication and demands affection 24/7. TJ was so loving and careful with Henry, and always created a safe environment for Henry to interact with her puppy and other dogs. She made sure he had plenty of snuggles and would send the me the cutest pics. She even cared for him through an injury (extra meds, fragile to touch). I always feel a little guilty leaving Henry with a dog sitter bc I know he requires a higher level of care than others, but TJ made me feel so comfortable and reassured that I was able to go on a trip and without any worries! I would trust TJ with any dog in any environment. She has raised two great puppies of her own, who are an amazing reflection of the care and love she has to give. TJ is incredibly responsible, dependable, and fun! I have no doubt that she will treat your dog with the same care and respect she has shown my dog and her own. Book her!! You won’t regret it!!”
