“I can’t recommend Addison enough—I’d give 10 stars. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and always responsive, which makes the entire experience stress-free. My dog Luna absolutely loves spending time with her, and it’s clear that Addison genuinely cares about the dogs. Whenever I’m away, I have complete peace of mind knowing Luna is in such great hands. Addison consistently goes above and beyond, and it really shows in how happy and comfortable Luna is when she’s with her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for your pet, Addison is the one.”

“Kimberly was awesome with our pup, Harper. This was the first time we left her for a week and were understandably anxious about how she would do. Harper had the best vacation ever! Kimberly sent regular updates and pictures of Harper having a great time. She got lots of exercise, love and attention. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Kimberly for any boarding/doggy day care needs.”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Tara provided a great experience for Penny when she boarded. She was very attentive, kept her current on her medications and sent along pictures to keep her mom satisfied she was in good hands!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs in both my own home and clients’ homes for the past 5 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs engaged based on their individual needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to caring for your dog like they’re part of the family! 5am beach walk Lunchtime walk 4pm walk I work 7-3:30 about a mile away from home M-F so I’m able to come home on lunch.

The goal is to make the fur babies feel as at home as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently care for two dogs — including a large, high-energy dog and a playful puppy — as well as multiple cats, including my senior cat who I’ve had for 14 years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with: • feeding and fresh water • walks and potty breaks • playtime and enrichment • cleaning litter boxes / accidents • giving pets attention and helping them feel comfortable • recognizing when something seems off or out of the ordinary I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m currently home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because I know they’re family. I currently care for multiple pets of my own, including a senior cat I’ve had for 14 years, a large adult dog, and an energetic puppy. That experience has made me comfortable with different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs playtime, a potty break, cuddles, meals, or just a calm and reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a fully fenced in yard and two goofy and energetic dogs to play in/with! I take your pets safety with the utmost respect and care
“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
“We love Malerie! From the very first time I booked with her, she made everything so easy and comforting. We had a little meet-up where she got to meet Milan and we met her dog ,such a great way to start! She’s always quick to respond, super sweet, and I love knowing my boy is never alone. We always get our usual pictures and videos, which make us feel at ease while we’re away. Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Eve maintained great communication throughout our pup's stay, really gave us a peace of mind. Well kept grounds and clean household. Her own dogs are friendly and kept our dog busy. We are so lucky to have found her. 100% recommend.”

“Anna did a great job house sitting and caring for my cat Abby. Abby is a very sweet stray cat that I adopted several months ago. She is frightened by most people and I was nervous about leaving her with someone new, I thought she would hide while I was away. Within an hour I received a picture of Abby joining Anna in the living room, Anna was very communicative and kept me updated with Abby's milestones! I had a great weekend after all! When I got home the house was perfect and Abby was happy. I highly recommend Anna D.”
“**Review for Madison:** I recently had the pleasure of using Madison's services, and I couldn't be more satisfied. From the very beginning, Madison demonstrated professionalism and genuine care for my pet. Here are a few highlights from my experience: 1. **Communication**: Madison was prompt and clear in all communications. She provided regular updates with photos and which gave me peace of mind while I was away. 2. **Care and Attention**: Madison took the time to understand my pets' routines and preferences. She handled my cat with care and patience, making sure they were happy and comfortable.”
“Isabel took great care of Oliver. I am so thankful she drove all the way to help pick him up when I was sick and not able to care for him. I didn't have to worry about him when he was in her hands, and he seemed to get along well with her family and have a great time. Very communicative and excellent petsitter.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and other animals for most of my life. I started when I was 13 and have never stopped. I have a rescue of my own and view her as part of my family; I know exactly what it means to care for pets on a daily basis. I believe that trust between the owner, pet, and carer is so important, and will do my best to make you feel confident your furry family member is taken care of correctly and with lots of love. I also have training and confidence-building experience with all ages and personalities. I only use positive-based training methods. I am comfortable with reactive dogs! I am comfortable with fearful or nervous dogs. I can give medication or potty-train, no problem. I currently stay at home and would be solely dedicated to caring for your pups! I have no obligations that would interfere with any schedules or timely needs that you or your pet may have. I am very flexible! I have a very friendly dog at home, however, she does go to work with my partner some days. My dog is high-energy and goes for long walks with lots of sniffing! She also gets 1-2 hours of exercise in a large fenced-in yard of a family member every day. If your dog is high energy we can meet those needs! (Don't worry low-energy dogs, I see you too & you can snooze as much as you want to)
About: I grew up with dogs since birth, I have my own 6yo dog & I have cared for many dogs as a professional pet are specialist and walker at my recent job in NYC. I am privately insured through the company Pet Care Insurance. Besides constantly caring for my own pet, I never get tired of spending time with animals. I look forward to even more pets and love in the future! Your pet is your baby. I know mine is my baby. I take pet care as seriously as babysitting. I have full respect for your space as I hope anyone caring for my pet has in my home. Like the boy scouts say, leave no trace!
About: I have experience caring for and walking multiple large dogs at once. I have also cared for elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I like to learn every dogs needs and behaviors so they feel safe when in my care. I’m a professional volleyball player home for the summer so my hours are very open! I am very active and can take your dogs for nice long walks. I respect the owners space and their recommendations for pet care. I make sure to understand the space so the animals feel safe when I enter their home and so I know where all their necessities are.
“Iris was FANTASTIC!!! She was easy to communicate with and loves your animals like her own. She is attentive to little things like an open window in the rain so your place is equally taken care. Could not be happier with our experience - we got so many great photos of our kitty enjoying playtime and treats while we were gone!”
“Kathy was so amazing to my kitty!! She is super attentive to the little things and really cared about my boy. I would 100% recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Britney was absolutely fabulous with our two kitties. She was so attentive, played with them every single day and gave them lots and lots of love. Would highly recommend!”
“We were able to book Evan on short notice to spend time with our two cats when we had a sudden out-of-state schedule issue. Evan kept in contact with us and was respectful of our home. Our cats were happy and healthy when we got home, I can tell they were well taken care of and liked having Evan around. Thank you!”
“Emma was super friendly and communicative. We unfortunately had to cancel our rover visit last minute though she made the effort to come over ahead of time to meet our cat and take notes on what she needed. We definitely look forward to utilizing her services in the future!”
About: Knowing your pets are a part of your family, its my intentions to provide an opportunity for your pet to at its best. That means learning your pets personality and needs. My Career also entails skills with animals care specifically for sick animals, not that I am veterinary doctor, meaning I help deal with acute health issues. Being a good listener and observer due to my Scientific Career it's only a matter of time before you realize that you pet just might be excited to visit, and even more happier to return to you. Thanks for asking. My work has very set routine. Therefore when I start a project I know the days that I am available throughout its completion due to having to let processes develop on their own. So I am able to designate time for pet sitting in a routine manner and flexible manner. If I know my clients needs, I can adjust my work accordingly. Thanks for asking. My apartment is definitely animal friendly, with only on carpeted room. I will always notify the owner or any health issue, and with coordinate with the owner emergency protocols. Outside, there is a waterfront your pet can visit for walks, large yards that the pet can explore, and even an enclosed area where your pet can be unleashed so they can get a chance to roam free if ever necessary. As far as individual animal routines for food and walks are concerned, I would only take on a job if I was able to provide the animal with its precise schedule. I find animals are more confident when they know what to expect. Thanks for asking.
“I hired Antonio to take care of my cat. He was flexible and responsive and responsible. I could not have asked for more from a pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Amy gets an A+! There are so many kind caretakers working with Rover, that it was a little hard to know where to start! I have a cat - and I saw Amy's pictures with kitties. I could see that she just radiates love and caring to the cat in the photo... and I was not disappointed when she met my cat - same big caring!”
“I was lucky enough to find Ava on this site to care for my 2 kitty's for 10 days while I traveled. Ava is a great communicator, always sending reassuring photos after her visits. My cats were very well cared for and she did exactly what she said she would. I would highly recommend Ava and will use her services again without hesitation!!”
“Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.”
“Sandrine was a wonderful sitter—Cat was happy and well cared for when we got home, with a clean litter box and a tidy house. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Truly delightful, and we would absolutely book her again.”
About: I grew up with 2 cats who had multiple litters throughout my childhood. I’ve learned how to take care of kittens as well as senior cats. I’m comfortable with helping cleaning out the litter box as well as needed medications.

“I highly recommend choosing Kimberly! She took such good care of my 3 month old puppy. I am brand new to the app, Rover and was really nervous about leaving him. I was instantly put at ease when I met her. Kimberly has great communication skills. I received photos and updates throughout the day, which I very much appreciated. It is evident to see that Kimberly really cares about animals. She is a dependable, responsible and loving person & sitter. If I need care in the future, we will most definitely be contacting Kim again. My puppy misses her already!”
“Nicole & Ryan are absolutely amazing!! They are responsive, kind, and accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care and cannot recommend them enough. Will definitely be reaching out again and we know our dog is just as excited as we are to have found a good match!”
“Carrie was wonderful. My goldendoodle puppy is a tired girl after her stay ( a tired puppy is a happy puppy) There was a nice large yard for her to run around. Carrie was excellent!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. That’s over 20 years of personal, hands-on experience! I’ve cared for puppies, small dogs, big dogs, calm dogs, hyper dogs - you name it.

I have two separate rooms if your dogs likes to have alone time after a day of play. I am also flexible to do in-home care, if that is your preference.
“My dog loves going to Brian and his wife's house. He's more than excited when we get there and comes home happy and tired. We're very thankful for this doggy daycare option!”
About: Mother of two kiddos and one doggy. I just took a break from watching dogs while we welcomed a new pup to our family. He’s a 1 year old Portuguese Water dog and he’s very friendly and loves to play. I’ve had dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. Please reach out with any questions about me. Thank you! Im currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most time frames and schedules. My days are usually spent at home with my youngest and our pup so another dog or two fit into our schedule perfectly. We have a semi fenced yard in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to a beach. We also have a fully fenced back deck where the dogs can be inside or outside at their leisure. We love to play and we have plenty of time for walks or playing fetch and cuddles.
“Erin was great. She was responsive, flexible, welcoming to our Dotty. She understood the quirks of our dog’s breeds and seemed very capable. Sent nice pics, too. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Karen was everything we were hoping for with our daycare booking. She was professional, flexible, and provided excellent care for our dog. She sent us several photos and videos of our dog, and was responsive with all communications. She even provided lots of information on dog-friendly activities in the area- overall a wonderful experience for us and our dog.”

You can trust that your dog will always be cared for in a secure and loving environment.

“Antonio is an amazing dog walker. He brings treats for my dog, Kapu, and makes sure Kapu takes water breaks during his walks. I’m almost never home when Antonio comes but I assure you that you can trust him 100% with any task. He knows where my house keys are & he leaves everything back in its place and always brings my dog safely back home after every walk. I really trust this guy & He’s always the first person I turn to when I need someone to walk my dog. Also, my dog is pretty big and really needs to get his exercise in, most dog walkers can barely get a mile done in a hour but Antonio pretty much always walks 2 miles with my dog which is AMAZING since my dog can become pretty destructive when he’s home alone & full of energy but luckily he comes home to sleep after his walk! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Antonio! Thanks for everything!”
“Isabel was wonderful with Daisy! She was very friendly, followed all of my instructions carefully, and took great care of her during their 30 minute walk. Daisy seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the communication as well. I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Whether it’s a high-energy pup needing long walks or a senior pet requiring medication, I am comfortable, patient, and prepared. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and fun experience while you are away. I work from home, so your baby will get nonstop attention and cuddles! I do have a fenced in yard and do not require dogs to be crate trained. I always prioritize your dog’s specific needs—whether that’s gentle walks for seniors or active play for puppies. I work from home/have a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present with your dog/cat. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and always focus on both your pet’s mental and physical exercise. I ensure a safe environment by keeping fresh water available, maintaining a clean space, and checking that all gates are secure. I do allow your pet to sleep on my bed unless instructed otherwise. I send photo/video updates and follow your feeding/medication instructions as well as any others given. I do allow meet & greets at my house if preferred!
“Julia was great, she asked all the right questions before arriving for her first walk with my dog She was on time and provided excellent feedback including pictures and a summary of their walk. I’ll definitely be using Julia again in the future!”
About: Since 2010 I learned to care for neighborhood pet friends so I could prove that I can have my own dog. From that I got my own baby boy and have spent 12 lovely years with him, but unfortunately he's out of state with his grandparents now. I miss him so much and would love to transfer all that energy to your loved one :) I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to spend a couple hours with your baby and take them for a nice, long walk and play with them :) whatever they need, I'd love to do! I care about safety, privacy, cleanliness, and trust. I won't go anywhere/use anything unless asked (and I will check with you before doing anything we didn't talk about, such as if I were to bring treats, I'd make sure you are okay with what I give them before giving it to them). I'll probably be over-communicative, just so I'm thorough and so you know you can trust me with your baby.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets my entire life and began pet sitting for family, neighbors, and family friends as a teenager. During my first year of college, I started housesitting too, and I’ve since cared for many lovely kitties, bunnies, and dogs, as well as some guinea pigs and chickens. I’m especially good with cats, dogs, bunnies, and chickens, as I’ve had them all myself, but I feel comfortable taking care of most animals as long as I’m given instructions for those I’m not familiar with (for example, horses or reptiles). I’ve driven hours to get injured baby bunnies to wildlife rehab, and I’ve taken in stray cats to get them spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and eventually adopted. Growing up, I never had fewer than three pets, and right now I have five. They keep my dad company… he claims he isn’t a cat person but still spends every night cuddling with our oldest cat, Magic. Caring for animals brings me a lot of joy. I’ve had people house sit and pet sit for me before, so I know it’s not always easy to relax when you’re wondering how things are going back home. I want every owner I sit for to feel completely at ease and to come home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. I work remotely and have plenty of time to give pets attention and care. Since I work remotely, I’m lucky to have the flexibility to give pets love and attention while their families are away. Right now, my kitties and bunnies are staying with my dad to keep him company, so I’ve been missing having furry friends around. My name is Kacey, and I’m from Portsmouth, Rhode Island. I work remotely as a freelance editor and pet sitter. I have bachelor’s degrees in Writing and Psychology and plan to start graduate school next year to pursue my master’s in social work. I love traveling and experiencing new places, especially small towns and rural areas, but I haven’t spent much time in the city yet, and I’d really like to. I also really enjoy exploring new places and meeting new animals along the way. I always follow the instructions owners leave so pets stay on their usual routines and feel comfortable while their families are away. Whether I’m staying in a client’s home or stopping by for visits, I make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I also enjoy cleaning homes (with permission). When owners return, I make sure their homes look as if no one has even stayed there, except that it might be even cleaner. Your home and pets will be safe and well cared for, guaranteed !
“Lisa is a very kind, gentle person who we hired to walk our dog, Rico, 5x (30 min ea walk) during our honeymoon. When we got the first couple of doggie report cards, Lisa had only walked rico 0.5ish miles. I was disappointed because I had hoped a 30 min walk would be closer to 1.5 miles. I spoke with Lisa about this and his next walks were 1 mile. It may be my own fault for not specifying that I wanted the emphasis of her 30min time blocks to be actually walking, vs playing with toys or brushing him, which are perfectly nice things to do but not for such a high energy dog like ours. Overall, our dog is alive and happy. Lisa fed our cat for free and helped coordinate visits/feedings with my family, who was also helping care for the pets. Some of the report cards showed that Lisa had spent 45 mins with Rico while only being payed for the 30, which I thought was very generous.”
“Sincerely grateful to Madison and Joseph for their periodic help with our young, active standard poodle, Cain. It's so reassuring to know he'll be taken care of and given some "him" time on the occasions when we have to travel for the entire day. We love the photos and updates they send, too. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and more! I am always up for the task when it comes to animals! From longs walks to outdoor play I am your girl! If your dog likes going on adventures and likes the car I am your girl. As well as having three days off during the week and working brunch on Saturdays I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! Open to overnights, pop in's or just walks! Making sure pets get the most attention possible is a priority to me. Snuggles and toys is the most important part. If your pet is comfortable. I am only available to stay in clients homes.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 12, from neighbors to friends and family I have always been trusted to make daily check ins, feed, walk and spend quality time with their pets. Im very comfortable with different breeds, personalities and energy levels and genuinely love taking care of and being around animals. I have had my own pup since I was 8 so I understand first hand how important it is to know your pet is in the best of care while you're away. I’m currently a senior at Roger Williams University and work part-time in Newport. My schedule is flexible outside of shifts, and I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the week. After graduating this spring, I’ll be in Newport full-time with even more availability and flexibility. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I make sure to follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific needs. I’m very attentive, reliable, and respectful of your space, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while you’re away.
About: I grew up having dogs and cats and love them both. Taking care of them from kitten/puppyhood to the end of their life. This helped me to understand how their needs change with age. During my time living oversees I rescued several street animals and have brought 4 of them back here to the US. In caring for the animals of others while they are away I've learned how to gain their trust as the newcomer. Animals are a total joy. My primary secular work is from home and flexible, so I'm able to accommodate your schedule as needed. Pet care is scheduled regularly throughout my day and week. Since all pets and their owners are individuals I respect the routines already in place to the best of my ability. But I always spend time petting and playing with them rather than just doing the basics.
“Sheridyn was so helpful with a last minute request when our regular walker couldn't make it. She was able to flex with our plans and sent lots of pictures and notes. Will definitely book with her again!”

“I can’t recommend Addison enough—I’d give 10 stars. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and always responsive, which makes the entire experience stress-free. My dog Luna absolutely loves spending time with her, and it’s clear that Addison genuinely cares about the dogs. Whenever I’m away, I have complete peace of mind knowing Luna is in such great hands. Addison consistently goes above and beyond, and it really shows in how happy and comfortable Luna is when she’s with her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for your pet, Addison is the one.”
“Madison and Joseph were amazing with my pups! I appreciated the various updates provided throughout their visit. Dylan and Charlie had a great time with the corgis! I felt relieved knowing they were in great hands and when I picked them up, I could tell they had a wonderful stay. Thank you again Madison and Joseph!”
“Kimberly was awesome with our pup, Harper. This was the first time we left her for a week and were understandably anxious about how she would do. Harper had the best vacation ever! Kimberly sent regular updates and pictures of Harper having a great time. She got lots of exercise, love and attention. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Kimberly for any boarding/doggy day care needs.”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs in both my own home and clients’ homes for the past 5 years, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs engaged based on their individual needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and prioritize clear communication, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to caring for your dog like they’re part of the family! 5am beach walk Lunchtime walk 4pm walk I work 7-3:30 about a mile away from home M-F so I’m able to come home on lunch. My boyfriend works from home about 2-3 days per week. Spacious, clean, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of room to relax and play. No crate needed, but if preferred I can accommodate. The goal is to make the fur babies feel as at home as possible.
“We are so lucky to have found Geof! He sent wonderful updates and took such care of our doggie. Geof wanted to know about our doggie to make sure it was the best experience for her, and it was! She was so, so happy. His beautiful house has the best backyard for doggies to enjoy their time outside.”
“Brian was great with my two dogs. He even brought one if my dogs to my wedding for us and watched her so she could be a part of the ceremony! Dogs seemed comfortable and happy when we picked them up! Will definitely keep brian in mind if we are ever in the area again”
“Chris and Whitney took wonderful care of our pup. Lots of updates and pictures. She is an anxious girl and was right at home with other dogs to play with. Look forward to booking with them in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently care for two dogs — including a large, high-energy dog and a playful puppy — as well as multiple cats, including my senior cat who I’ve had for 14 years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with: • feeding and fresh water • walks and potty breaks • playtime and enrichment • cleaning litter boxes / accidents • giving pets attention and helping them feel comfortable • recognizing when something seems off or out of the ordinary I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m currently home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because I know they’re family. I currently care for multiple pets of my own, including a senior cat I’ve had for 14 years, a large adult dog, and an energetic puppy. That experience has made me comfortable with different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs playtime, a potty break, cuddles, meals, or just a calm and reassuring presence while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a fully fenced in yard and two goofy and energetic dogs to play in/with! I take your pets safety with the utmost respect and care
“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
“We love Malerie! From the very first time I booked with her, she made everything so easy and comforting. We had a little meet-up where she got to meet Milan and we met her dog ,such a great way to start! She’s always quick to respond, super sweet, and I love knowing my boy is never alone. We always get our usual pictures and videos, which make us feel at ease while we’re away. Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Our mini goldendoodle, Evie, was well cared for by Paige and her family. Evie really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Communication with Paige was great, too. I highly recommend her.”
“Mariah is an amazing dog sitter. She sent pics of Bernie relaxing and playing and sent them throughout the week he stayed with her. I was completely relaxed knowing he was in such great care. Thanks again Mariah!”
“Joseph was amazing! Joseph went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs. He sent me photos and video’s daily and alerted me when my Georgia was scratching a bit and followed up by cleaning her ears and then bathed them. I would absolutely recommend Joseph and his dogs are the sweetest.”
“We are SO glad we booked Jennifer! We needed someone to watch our dog, Sophie, over our wedding weekend, and I found Jennifer on Rover. I knew the minute I met her and her daughter that Sophie would be in great hands. They were so patient and respectful of Sophie and totally welcomed and adopted my pet-parenting preferences. Throughout the weekend, Jennifer sent me friendly text message updates with photos and news from the day, and I was able to enjoy the weekend knowing and trusting that Sophie was being cared for, that she was safe, and that she was being loved. I absolutely plan to book Jennifer again if she’s available - she was great. Thank you Jennifer!”
“I had a last minute emergency and Erica came through for us. Very kind and loving family. It is obvious how much affection they have for animals. Daisy did great and I never worried about her for a moment. It was a good experience for us.”
“Caley had a rough start to the week. She's getting older, and requires more attention. Celina kept us in the loop, but we thought we might have to come home. We and Celina came up with a plan that allowed us to stay on vacation, and Celina handled Caley like a pro! We appreciate that so much! Sorry for the sleepless nights.”
“Hailey was great! She watched our 2 yr old Charlie girl while we were in Newport for a night. Charlie loved her dog Henri which helped her settle in. Hailey sent lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely book her again!”
