“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”
“Amanda was so communicative while Stelly was in her care. She provided photos and updates every day. It was clear that Stelly enjoyed her stay and felt very comfortable and welcome with Amanda and her family! I would absolutely rebook!”
“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“Luiz and his family are wonderful! Once again, Sachi had a great time and we didn't worry about a thing. As we were getting closer to Luiz' house, she got very excited and clearly knew where she was going. Thank you so much.”
“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“It’s never easy leaving our dog when we travel, especially because he is handicapped and needs extra attention and care. Finding someone we fully trust gives us real peace of mind, and that’s exactly what we found with our sitter. We always know he is well taken care of, loved, and treated like family while we’re away. One thing we especially appreciate is that he can also be groomed and get his hair cut while he stays, which makes everything so convenient. He always comes home looking great, happy, and relaxed. The level of care, patience, and kindness shown every time means so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone who provides such wonderful care, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”
“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently working 6:30am-12pm, M-F. I'm available for drop-in visits any day of the week, after 1pm and on the weekends. I can house sit during the week as long as your pet doesn't mind an early morning! 🙂. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Yingying and her family were very welcoming, accommodating and patient. This is our puppy’s first time away from us, and she made this experience as worry-free as possible. Highly recommended.”
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our girl , Anne, was treated like family and she had a blast with Rachael’s dog , Kevin! I personally love receiving update and pictures ! We will definitely be sending Anne over for boarding again when we are traveling.”

“Emily did a wonderful job watching our cat! We had a meet and greet a couple of days before our trip which was very helpful, and Emily sent photos and a lovely note every day. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we had to deal with an unexpected change of plans mid-trip, and made the schedule change as painless as possible. We would absolutely book Emily again!”
About: I’m more experienced with cats, and I love to be around them. I typically care for my girlfriend’s cat when she’s traveling. Ranging from days-months. I have also babysat other cats. I’ve gone to kitty cafes in my free time. And overall just enjoy their company. I love both a chill kitty or an energetic kitty. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and clean litter boxes, or hairballs.
About: I have cared for my 3 sweet cats for 9 years. I have gotten comfortable giving them medications (pills, liquid, creams, injections, fluids) and making sure to keep their environment safe, clean, and engaging. Would love to help your cats feel safe and loved!
“Colleen has been great with Kira for multiple visits. Kira has significant medical issues right now and Colleen has worked well around those issues. She is very easy to communicate with and gives good feedback from the visit.”
“We recently used Devon to watch our 3 cats and are very glad we booked her! She is extremely responsive, kept us up to date on our cats and gave them extra love and attention. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our cats.”
About: I’ve loved cats since I was little and have experience caring for my own cat I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats attention while respecting their space. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I’m patient with shy, playful, or affectionate cats.
About: I've been a cat person since I was very little. My first cats came to me in first grade, and I have always made sure to have them myself ever since. I have two purr-babies myself, and they are registered as my emotional support animals, so I know how important our feline friends are to a family. I am capable of administering meds if necessary, and will happily provide lots of photos of your little biscuit-maker while you are away. Rest assured, your kitty will be cared for while you are away.
“Absolutely thrilled with the quality of service. I received pictures and updates. My cats were well cared for, and it made being away much more comfortable. I would absolutely recommend.Amanda.”
“Melanie was fantastic with our two cats! She was reliable, attentive and caring and followed every detail of our care instructions perfectly. She kept our automatic cat boxes and food dispensers refreshed on schedule and even cleaned and recycled the food containers and dealt with the trash. Our kitties were happy to see her even our very shy kitty which gave us peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to book Melanie again and highly recommend her to anyone for a very caring cat sitter.”

About: Hi all! I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs/pups and cats. My very first pup was a chihuahua at around age 5. Since then my love for animals grew. I've had several Siamese cats, aquatic fish and dogs growing up. I've walked and cared for many different pups around town (just about all breeds) and I can assure your furry friend is in good hands. In our house I have a 13 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, three turtles, bearded dragon and several fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I can provide you with several references, past employer and client related. I can also pick up/drop off to make things easier. Thank you!
“Tracy is an excellent host for our dog Riley. Riley is 15 years old and Tracy is patient and kind with him. She takes him on several short walks, provides him with plenty of water, and feeds him according to our specific steps. Tracy is also enjoyable for us to talk to. She is positive and upbeat. We like her so much.”
About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while they’re in my care.
“Our pup was very well taken care of, few hiccups along the way however they were very responsive, and she returned home every day just wiped out from blowing off all of her energy.”
“I was attending an event near Michael’s place and needed somewhere last-minute for my little chihuahua-mix (Billy) to hang out. I sent the request only the night before, and was so grateful Michael was so accommodating and accepted. I received photos of Billy having a great time outside with other dogs and he seemed very happy when I picked him up! I would definitely have Billy stay at Michael’s place again.”
About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.

“I just met Matt this year and he has been such a great support ! I work really long hours and was hesitant about finding a dog sitter as my dog is really selective with men. From one meet and greet my dog was comfortable with Matt & was friendly right away! Matt has been consistent and is extremely reliable & follows instructions! He makes sure remy is exhausted by the time he’s done and he also makes sure to give her her water breaks while on walks! I’m definitely sticking with Mat as a dog sitter. 🫶🏼 thank you for being there for my sweet girl !”
About: I’ve typically only cared for friends pets (cats & dogs) my role was feeding, playing (included filming some tiktoks & take selfies), taking the dogs out to potty, and putting them in their crate for bedtime. I’m always down to learn more so I can be a better fit in your dog’s life. I’m an introvert but animals bring out my fun side. This is currently my stream of income, and I don’t start my classes until November so my time is pretty flexible at the moment. We can always communicate and build a schedule together, but I’m always down to spend time with your pups! I work very well with direct directions. Do’s and Dont’s are very important to me (ex: if there’s something your pet doesn’t like/or does, any type of aggression, routines, etc..). Anything that can help me create a great relationship with your pet and you! I want them to feel safe with me, and I want you to be able to trust me while I care for them. I love playing with dogs & cats but I also know to respect their space when they need it. I will always clean up after your pet if needed (any accidents in the house or outside). A safe, healthy, and fun environment is what I try to create.

Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R.

“Colin is amazing! He has watched Mulligan twice now, and has always been excellent with communication, special instructions, and just loving on Mulligan! He was able to come when I needed last minute help, and has been very good with letting me know how the time with Mulligan went. He is such a joy to have around Mulligan! I would highly recommend!”
About: Growing up with dogs and cats instilled a lifelong love for them and a desire to become a veterinarian. I feed, walk, clean up after, and bathe dogs, giving them exceptional care and attention. Dog /cat sitting is a dream path toward this journey. I’m available for pet care in October and I’m excited to use my love for animals to spend time caring for pets. I’m available for drop in visits from 11 AM to 10 PM and will make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve I make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment during every visit. I follow their normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they always have fresh water. I’m gentle and patient with every pet and will give them plenty of attention while respecting their personal space. I’ll also keep the pet’s owner updated so they know their pet is safe and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, snakes, chinchillas, quails, pigs, lizards, Guinea pigs, and bunnies. I am willing to learn how to take care of any animal and have given medicine/received special requests previously I work 4-8 hours a day and one of my jobs is a work from home job. My timing can can be flexible unless I am lifeguarding. I do not offer boarding. I do have pets of my own and would take care of other peoples’ animals according to the owner’s and their vets’ wishes and judgement
About: We have a great fenced back yard, it is divided in two different areas providing a better environment according to your pet's need, where your dog can enjoy a sand box, trampoline and even swim in the pool like our dog does(if he is used to it). If he enjoys to run and play our half acre yard should be a great option. In our home your pet will sleep with our dog and have the same attention we provide her. We also have a nice basement where Molly plays when raining and 2 dog kennels outside that she uses to take naps when she wants(door stays open all the time) with plenty space and all the comfort necessary, but she usually prefers to run free and play in the yard the entire day. One thing is for sure: your pet will be loved and treated as part of our family, having lots of fun with our kids, something he will not be able to get at a regular "dog hotel". We do ask the owner's that all dogs are groomed prior to the boarding/daycare. We also board other pets like birds, turtles, guinea pig, etc. Because we do not have a huge house eventually, depending on the number of dogs we may have on a certain day, we cannot accept big dogs like German Shepherd or dogs around the same size and weight. We do require a MEET AND GREET for new dogs. I have been a trainer for over 30 years. My kids do homeschool so your pet will not be alone. There's always someone around. Also my wife only leaves to work if Iam home. I have a friendly dog, Molly, that will play with your dog the entire day and besides that my two kids love to interact with all the pets we have around. I have been a dog trainer for over 30 years and I am happy I have been able to be around them my entire life. My entire family loves dogs.

Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️
“I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend”
About: I have had a passion for taking care of animals since a young age. I have experience with all types of animals. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant and a veterinary assistant, as well as shelter experience. I'm available for drop in visits and dog walking. I do not have a set schedule at work yet so I will have different availability every week. We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
“Kari was very quick to respond to my urgent need for a dog walker. We love the daily notes on potty breaks as well as the picture updates. She has been great with our new 9 month old pup and we would highly recommend her!”

“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”
“Amanda was so communicative while Stelly was in her care. She provided photos and updates every day. It was clear that Stelly enjoyed her stay and felt very comfortable and welcome with Amanda and her family! I would absolutely rebook!”
“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”
“Luiz and his family are wonderful! Once again, Sachi had a great time and we didn't worry about a thing. As we were getting closer to Luiz' house, she got very excited and clearly knew where she was going. Thank you so much.”
“It’s never easy leaving our dog when we travel, especially because he is handicapped and needs extra attention and care. Finding someone we fully trust gives us real peace of mind, and that’s exactly what we found with our sitter. We always know he is well taken care of, loved, and treated like family while we’re away. One thing we especially appreciate is that he can also be groomed and get his hair cut while he stays, which makes everything so convenient. He always comes home looking great, happy, and relaxed. The level of care, patience, and kindness shown every time means so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone who provides such wonderful care, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”
“Yingying and her family were very welcoming, accommodating and patient. This is our puppy’s first time away from us, and she made this experience as worry-free as possible. Highly recommended.”
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”
“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”
“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Our girl , Anne, was treated like family and she had a blast with Rachael’s dog , Kevin! I personally love receiving update and pictures ! We will definitely be sending Anne over for boarding again when we are traveling.”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Angelina took great care of Lucy for their day together. She sent multiple photos during the afternoon and is great with her communication. Lucy came back happy and had a great time playing with her pup. I’ll definitely use Angelina again in the future.”
