“Scott and Jessica had a great time with Rosie. Even though Rosie was excited to see me, you could tell she still had a good time during her stay. i could also tell from the pictures. I would definitely book a stay for her with them in the future. Al”

“My experience was great!!! Highly recommend. I was a lil last minute, however Enid took her in with open arms. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos of my dog, and explained how she was doing that day. Definitely going to use Enid for future boarding. Once again, I highly recommend!”
“He was perfect taking care of the dogs. Lucy and Mack were thrilled to have him. They were a little scared in the beginning but Misael made them very calm by the time we came back. We got so many photos and we are so appreciative of his care!”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Rose was great. She was very flexible with setting up a meeting and drop off and pick up. She sent us pics of Cody while we were away. She even gave us some cute polaroids of Cody when we picked him up. She is very polite and her home was very dog friendly.”
“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“First time using Rover and first time in 10 years having a sitter outside of immediate family, we were so nervous. Samantha met us prior to and put us at ease. We had a wonderful experience having Samantha caring for our 2 boys while away! She sent us photos and little updates everyday and even had some great suggestions for us moving forward about a feeding time issue we were having.”
“Anne was amazing! So attentive and took in mind my dogs usual routine- and took extra great care of her! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely recommend her.”
“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”
“Rudy had a great time with Nick. Nick had great communication and sent wonderful pictures with updates while I was away. I would definitely suggest Nick as a sitter to anyone.”
“Danielle was wonderful with Cody. He warmed up to her quickly. She picked him up and dropped him off which was a huge convenience for us. Danielle sent pics of Cody every day so we could see how happy and relaxed he was. They took Cody for walks and her son played with Cody. Will definitely be contacting Danielle for future care.”
“Amazing! Great communication, super kind, took our pup in at the very very last minute!! Such a life saver. Kaya came home happy and tired. She seemed to love it there! Thank you so much 🥹”
“Alyssa was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter 😊. I was super impressed!! Willow is a rescue we only had about a month, so we were concerned about having her get nervous and anxious in a new environment and away from us. Alyssa kept us updated on my Willow's stay - pictures and prose. We were so relieved to see Willow getting along so well with Alyssa. Willow came back content, and we were so happy to have found Alyssa!! Your pets will be so lucky to have Alyssa care for them; do not hesitate in the least. You will see for yourself what a loving and codependent care she gives them !”

“Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰”
“Erin has been wonderful! My Litter Robot was acting up and she researched so that she was able to troubleshoot and keep it running. Even my shy cat felt safe with her. If I could rate her services higher than 5 stars, I would!”
“Heather is a top-shelf pet sitter who goes above and beyond to keep pets happy and well cared for. She house-sat for about 10 days for my 2 cats, one of whom has chronic illnesses and is shy. She quickly ingratiated herself with both boys more effectively than any other family member, friend or pet professional ever has done. She is highly organized and focused, paying attention to details to provide the best care for them. I came home to 2 happy and healthy boys and a spotless house. I think they will miss her. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
“Marie took very good care of our kitty Maia. We could tell she was provided for very carefully when we got home. Anything we asked her to do was done and our place was also left super spotless. We’re very happy with the care and love that was given to our sweet girl. Although we missed her tremendously, we knew she was in great hands and that made our trip even better.”
“I'm so happy I found Samantha to help out with my kitty, Charlie, who requires two insulin shots a day for her diabetes. It was my first time going out of state since my cat's diagnosis, but Samantha's thorough communication at every visit helped assure me that my cat was in good hands. She followed the instructions for our cat perfectly which I also really appreciate. We look forward to using her again in the future.”
“Vanessa is very sweet and friendly, and took wonderful care of our great dane. She sent lots of photos and texted us each time she stopped by with an update. She wasnt shy to ask if something was a normal behavior for him which made us feel at ease that she was observing and learning his quirks, especially since he is on the older side. We are grateful to have found her and I know Mac is looking forward to seeing her again!”

From medication to routine freeding and walking, I am an experienced pooper scooper willing to get the job done!
“Chelsea is an absolute pleasure to work with from the initial booking process through to caring for our cat (and house!) whilst we were away for a month. Our cat is extremely skittish and has serious trust issues- Chelsea managed to earn her trust in the time caring for her, big win in my book! She sent lots of pictures and a video, replied promptly whenever we sent messages, wrote nice reports to put our mind at ease, and went above and beyond to clean household items (bathroom mats, carpets) soiled by our anxious kitty. We will definitely rebook with Chelsea again.”

“Bethany is great with Odie. Odie enjoyed his day with her very much. He was a little nervous at first but he was quickly warmed up as he received many pats and attention. Bethany is so great with Odie giving him the attention he craves. I highly recommend Bethany. She is absolutely wonderful and Odie is going back for a second visit in a couple of weeks.”
“Enid was great! Sent me lots of pics and kept me updated and made me feel comfortable! She has a fenced in backyard and Kuna came back happy and healthy! She was very accommodating when I got stuck in traffic on the way back and I really appreciated that!!”
“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
“Our sweet pup had so much fun with Marie and her husband for the days we booked. So much more joy and excitement we haven't seen in her in the mornings getting ready to go for the day to her new friend's house and more still when she was ready to come home. Will only trust this couple with our baby.”
“We’ve had a great experience with Trish. Gizmo is still new to us and can be sensitive with transitions, and she has been incredibly patient, calm, and accommodating from the start. He settles while he’s there (even if he hasn’t slept yet), and it’s clear he feels safe and well cared for. She’s kind, attentive, and truly understands dogs who need a little extra gentleness. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust and feel comfortable leaving him with. Highly recommend!”
“Anely is amazing! I needed a last-minute dog sitter for my elderly and cranky Chihuahua, and I feel so fortunate that she was willing to help me out. In addition to doing drop-off/pick-up from my place in downtown, she also sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog is afraid of strangers, so she’s not an easy one to handle, but I knew she was in great hands. 10/10, would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)
“Laurie is wonderful! She’s very attentive and caring with the dogs in her care - it’s obvious she’s a dog person. My dog knows when he’s going to Laurie’s house and gets so excited. When we get there, he jumps out of the car and right over to Laurie. I’m grateful for Rover and helping me find daycare so quickly with a person I can trust.”
About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.
“Super easy to communicate with. Helped us out in a pinch last minute, and was flexible with timing. Provided photos and Dodger seems to be all tuckered so he must have had fun :)”
“Very welcoming host, nice big backyard, kept us updated with numerous photos. Wasn't sure our dog would line being around other dogs but it worked out well.”
“Angelisa is very nice and diligent. She takes good care of my Labrador puppy. He is always very happy and when I pick him up. She handles him well and her kids seem to be very sweet with him. Will definitely use again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13, helping my family with our own dog. We also sometimes babysit dogs and cats for friends, so I’ve gained experience with pets of different sizes and personalities. I currently have a 1-year-old dog, so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for!! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets while also balancing school work! I split my time between Rhode Island and Florida — I’m in Florida during the school year for college and back home in Rhode Island for breaks and summers. I always keep my availability up to date, so you’ll know exactly where I am and when. I make sure pets are safe, fed, and happy. I follow any instructions the owner gives, take dogs for walks, provide playtime, and give lots of attention and affection. I also clean up after them, restock water and food, and make sure they feel comfortable whether I’m at their home or caring for them in mine.
About: Hey there 🐾 My name is Marissa Danielle - I've had a close connection with animals from as far back as I can remember. I've cared for and been lucky enough to rescue dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, horses, goats, you name it! (All of which lived with me and my family on our farm through ages 5-17).

About: I have been volunteering with animal rescues since I was in high school along with dogwalking in my hometown. I have spent the past three years in college volunteering with the local animal shelter walking their dogs to relieve them of time in the shelter. On these walks I take the time to work on basic skills and socialization. I am completing my MBA this summer, and would love to help you out with any of your pet care needs! I am finishing up my MBA at Bryant University leaving me with an open availability days outside of my classes which are Mondays and Wednesdays. I have previously handled multiple different dogs in different situations. I always aim to make the animal feel the most comfortable in every situation. I plan to care for your pets on your own terms whether that be in your own backyard or on walks near your house.
“Marie and her husband were wonderful! Great communication throughout. My dog is 84 pounds and young so he does pull on walks at the beginning. They handled him amazingly. Got him some exercise when I cant right now. Even recharged his night light. I would absolutely book Marie again”
“Jackie is so good to our pup! She’s a very caring person and responds very quickly to our messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet… Jackie is the person to go to! Our pup loves his walks with Jackie :)”
About: Since 2016, I’d eagerly come home each day looking forward to taking my dog, Teddy, on long walks outside. That passion led me to create my own dog treat business, driven by my desire to share that love and care with other dogs. It is so rewarding knowing I can contribute to the happiness and health of dogs one walk at a time. I am currently very free during the hot summer months while taking care of my dog, Teddy. I have a lot of extra free time for any last minute walks! My home is a very calm environment with no kids and one other dog. There is a lot of space outside and many friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I am very attentive to whatever it is the dog may need, (walks, play-time, or love!) as well as being educated on dog behavior.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by them, as many of my family members have dogs as well. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. I have looked after multiple family members’ pets, watched my neighbors’ dogs, and provided dog-sitting care before.

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a while and also have taken care of my neighbors pets for long periods of time! From walks, baths, feeding and playtime, I’m experienced in taking care and having fun with dogs of all ages. My dog in particular was a senior and she dealt with arthritis and liver disease, which would limit her ability to do certain things like long walks and going upstairs, or even eating. I do have the experience of taking care of senior dogs that may need this special treatment. I also walked King (pictured) as a volunteer for PAWS NY. This organization has volunteers who walk and/or take care of pets for those who are unable to do so themselves. My job is remote, so I can work from anywhere. My hours are also very flexible, so I am able to work around your schedule! I am also available anytime on the weekends! My area is safe and very pet friendly. The neighborhood is very residential, and there are a few parks nearby. There is also plenty of accessibility and perfect for pets!
About: I have watched pets since I was 11 years old. I have taken care of my own dogs at home. Along with watching my family members dogs. They have relied on me to watch their dogs along with, feeding, walking, and batheing them. I would watch the dogs for days, months, and even weeks. They would bring them to my home to watch or I would go to theirs. I'm currently working part time as a cashier, they have cut hours quite a bit since winter started. I pretty much only work weekends and Mondays. But I am thinking about leaving and just doing dog walking and sitting at this point. I am in college 3 days a week, I put most of my time into that. My free time as of right now is Wednesdays, and sometimes Mondays. But I will still have plenty of time to care for your pets! If you need me more days I will happily drop my job and pick up weekends to care for your pets! As for pets in my home, my family and I agreed it's not a good idea to watch pets in our home. Only because my pets are weird around other pets.
“Raegan has been wonderful!! We even booked more days throughout our visit to the area! Our pups loved her when we met her before our first walk. We love the report cards and pictures of our babies!”
“Chelsea was great - she came the day before I scheduled a dog walking for the first time to meet my two dogs and was so friendly and engaged with the dogs. She took them for a nice long walk the next day and I'll be sure to use her again!”

About: I have taken care of pets since childhood whether it was cats, dogs, fish, or hamsters I’ve loved being around them! In middle school I would walk the neighborhood dogs after school and in my freshman year of high school I got my very own puppy! I potty trained him, taught him to walk off leash, and taught him many fun tricks. Now that I’m in college I have lots of free time that I would love to use to help care for animals, whether it’s taking them for walks, playing with them in the home, or even having them be my study partner! Depending on the client I would take care of their four legged friend following the rules that they supply to me. For my own pets I like to gentle parent and just love them no matter how they act.

About: I am very experienced of Feeding, Giving medication and most of all giving love and attention to them. Especially while there loved ones are away! I am a senior retired from the post office and I am open to all hours. Would be great to get up and walk your pet. I do not have a fenced in area but plenty of woods where we can travel on a harness or leash so it would be secure
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
