After dropping off my dog I asked if she could possibly trim his nails. I had made a grooming appointment but it wasn't for another 2 weeks, and my dog was slipping on hard wood floors. She happily offer to see if her groomer could squeeze him in for a quick nail trim. She was able to and I paid a small fee to the groomer. I plan to bring Charlie back for any future trips. A+ experience!”

About: I first got cats when I was 12. I currently have 3; Pepper, Ash, and Nimbus. This has given me hands-on experience with daily feeding, fresh water, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in their environment, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable experience. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet independence, I will respect their personality and provide the attention they need. Experience Includes: Caring for multiple cats at once Feeding and fresh water Litter box cleaning and maintenance Playtime and enrichment Monitoring behavior and well-being Following specific care instructions and routines Providing updates to pet owners
“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”
“Grace was wonderful with our sweet shy cat Burton. He always hides from new people and we were nervous about leaving him for a vacation. Grace put us and Burton at ease! He warmed up to her quickly, and she kept us well informed about how he was doing so we could rest easy knowing he and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book Grace again.”

Purr-fect! Pet approved 🐾”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
“This is Latifa's second taking care of my cat Marmi. She is very professional as a cat sitter and very loving to my cat. She treats the pet she is sitting like her own. My cat bonded with Latifa and that is nice to see that my cat can get comfortable with her sitter. Latifa is very reliable and always sends a picture of how my cat is doing when we are away. I would definitely book with latifa again.”
“This was my first time leaving my little cat Ruby with anyone while I was home for the holidays. Val did an amazing job making sure she felt comfortable and sent tons of photos and videos while I was away!! She even ordered a new toy for my Ruby because it was her favorite(: Just the best!! Will definitely be reaching out to her again when I am away and Ruby needs a second home!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.
About: Hello my name is Mary-Ann, I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in yard in Cherry Hill Estates in Johnston, RI. I don't leave dogs outside unattended. I’ve been blessed to have dogs for my whole life. I would love to open our home and couch to your fur baby in need of a safe, loving and caring environment. I currently have a fur baby named Buddy who is a Senior Bichon Shih Tzu mix who absolutely loves other dogs. He is very friendly and up to date on all his shots. My husband works from home full-time and I work from home 3 days a week. So, your fur baby won’t be alone. I know Buddy doesn’t like to be alone. I live in a quiet walkable neighborhood which allows us to take leisurely walks and a big fully fenced in back yard. I also have a dog door that leads out into a fully enclosed Dog Pen to access anytime for the potty. Pets are part of our families, and I know it’s important to make them feel comfortable and keep them safe at all times which will give you peace of mind while you are away.

About: Erin and I both grew up with dogs and love having them around. Between caring for our siblings dogs periodically and being primary care takers of our dogs growing up we feel equipped to provide a safe and caring home. I am a remote worker so I am home throughout the week. Erin is a part time substitute teacher so she is home a few days as well. We would have lots of time to attend to a dog throughout the day and be able to provide lots of 1x1 time, walks, and playtime in the back yard. We have a fenced in back yard and live in a walkable neighborhood. We are currently a pet free house so your dog would be the only one here with us. We would allow access to all furniture except the bedroom door would remain closed. We can also accommodate a crate if needed
About: I've been around animals my whole life, so taking care of your pets feels pretty natural to me. Whether it's walks with dogs or playtime with cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them — and I'll make sure to follow whatever routines and instructions you've set up. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and can give your pets plenty of attention without it feeling like a juggling act. Expect regular photo updates, because I know how much it helps to see your furry friend doing well while you're away. Basically — your pet will be in good hands, and you can actually relax knowing that. Working from home and setting my own schedule means your pet isn't an afterthought squeezed between meetings — they're just part of the day, naturally. I love active, social dogs who are up for a good walk or some backyard play — that's my sweet spot. Cats are a different kind of company, and honestly I'm here for it, especially the playful ones who actually want to interact but also those that play hard to get too.
“Kayla took excellent care of my 2 dogs. She was available short notice and while with her, Luna & Beemer got lots of cuddles, daily walks and got to meet the cats. They loved going there!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. They have always had a special place in heart. I’ve had all different types of animals and my sister is a vet so she has taught me some little things. I am currently working a part time job and I’m about to leave for college and need some extra hours. I don’t mind if it’s miles or just down the street. I personally don’t care if I have to go in someone’s house just want their stuff to be out so I don’t have to go through there stuff.

I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.
“Rich was super flexible about our drop off and pick up times, my husband works unpredictable hours so this was a HUGE relief! We got plenty of pictures and communication on how our little guy was doing throughout the day. It was great knowing he was in good hands and with other dog friends!”

About: Hi my name is Neriah and I'm a second year college student at CCRI. I've had dogs ever since I was 6. I currently have one dog named Apollo. I also have 3 cats. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for a family friend who has three dogs.

I always follow the care instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special requirements. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and appropriate exercise and playtime. I also keep doors and gates secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello! I’m Tierney. I’m new to Rover, but I am experienced in pet care. I have worked with furry friends of all sizes, ages, and needs (trust me, I’m a pro at sneakily administering meds with the help of peanut butter)! I’m also excited about ensuring that you feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I have been known to take super cute pictures of pets for text threads. Let’s work together! I am currently working freelance, so I have the freedom to build my own schedule. I have a lot of availability as a result. No matter the time of day, I can be there to care for your furry friend! When pet sitting, I successfully create a safe environment through open communication with my clients. I know prior to working with an animal the exact expectations of the owner.
About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppy-hood. Ever since I was a kid, my heart would joyously melt in front of any and every four legged friend. I love getting to know other animals, and take care of them as if they were my own. I got my start pet sitting by looking after my friends and neighbors’ dogs and cats on occasion. At present, my longest cat sitting gig was 3 weeks straight in which I stayed with my fur friend for ~6-8 hours a day just to keep her company. I work remotely, so my workstation is mobile. In this was I can make most pet-sitting tasks and hours work— while assuring your pets have company, enrichment, and supervision. (As an aside, I go by both Vera and Amanda and use them interchangably) I work remotely 10am-6pm monday-friday. Ideally, i prefer to visit pets and take care of them anytime before 10am, but my calendar is very flexible. My workstation is mobile, so if desired, I can keep your pet company for extended periods of time during the day. I’m also available all day on the weeknds. I have 2 dogs that I love dearly and walk 2-3 times every single day at routine times. I brush them frequently, I strap on little booties for their paws daily to protect them from the hot pavement, and I play with them to their little hearts content.
About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. I currently have two dogs one 8 and one 7 at my parents home where I currently live. My brother and sister in law also have two dogs 2 and 1 years old. When my parents and them travel, I am in charge of the 4 of them at my house and we are all on a routine where everything is under control and still having fun. When needed, I do go to my brothers to take them for a walk and play with them to break up their day of being in the house. I am currently part time worker, so I have more free time during the week and figured I could use my time to help out dog lovers like yourself! For dog walking, I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet and yourself are satisfied with my job. I will be safe but fun at the same time making sure your pets are cared for properly.
About: I love pets. In my experience, pets our part of family and I will treat them as such. I have care for pets for over 30 years and am able to handle 5-8 dogs. I do pet care full-time. I am always home watching the dogs and cats, making sure they are safe. Pets will never be home alone and we follow strict food or medicine schedules if necessary. Pets are always being watched. They will never be left home alone when boarding. We have a fully gated yard that is impossible for dogs to escape.
About: With my wife, I have raised our laboratory retriever, Frankie, from 8-weeks to present (2+ years). I have emphasized basic obedience in her upbringing initially using exclusively positive reinforcement techniques and then integrating selective use of aversives (prong collar and e collar) as she has grown. She is a loving, sociable and well trained dog. Thing experience has made me a well trained dog sitter and a responsible pet owner ready to help you with your pooch! Currently, I am seeking opportunities here in Rhode Island so I am generally available, for now! I generally try and keep Sundays free, although I have a morning commitment until 2pm. Other than that I am available. With kindness, compassion, and as if it was all my own! Communication is key, so I hope to be prompt and clear in our coordination for the care of your precious pup!
About: I've owned cats and dogs my whole life. I love all kinds of animals big and small. I have a cat of my own, Rosé. I also have plenty of experience pet/house sitting and friends and neighbors. I work from home Monday - Friday so I can be available on short notice. I have plenty of time in the evenings after 5 pm also and can be flexible to fit your schedule. If your dog has any special needs, specific medications or allergies those are major things to know ahead of time. If your dog does not get along with other dogs that is also important so I know not to take them to parks.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)
About: I've taken care of 3 kittens (now cats) for 5 years. My loved ones all know the care and love I have for them; I see them as my children. I am very attentive with them - scheduling vet visits, playing with them every day, clipping nails, bathing, etc. I haven't had the opportunity to care for other pets, but am experienced with handling shy, extremely playful, and loner-style cats. I'm a grad student so 9-5 during the weekdays is difficult, but anytime after that (before like 10pm) or on the weekends after 10am or before 10pm would be ideal! I have indoor cats that have plenty of space, toys, water, food, and sturdy windows for them to stare at. If I visit your home, I will spend no more than 1hr playing with your pets (if they want!) and changing food/litter/water as needed.

“Qulynda was great! She took such great care of our dog while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend using Qulynda if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry one!”
“Rook really enjoyed his stay at Brandon’s home! Brandon kept me updated daily with messages, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated the consistent communication and the care he showed for Rook. Highly recommend!”
“Marissa was very responsive and sent photos frequently. With this being my first experience boarding, I felt at ease knowing my pup was well cared for. We'll definitely be back. Thanks!”
“Brenda was a great sitter. She was very patient with our girl who was a bit anxious the first few days but Brenda was communicative and worked with Maisie to get her comfortable and settled and happy. She took Maisie on walks and to the dog park and gave her lots of love and care. Bonnie (resident dog) is a sweet playful girl and the dogs got along really well and had lots of play time. I would highly recommend Brenda as a sitter and Bonnie as co-sitter.”
“Cierra and her family did a great job boarding my dog for a long weekend. Communication was fantastic and my dog was thrilled to have lots of love and attention. I had no doubt he was in good hands.”
“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Gary was fantastic. I had another sitter back out at the last minute, for the holiday weekend, and right when everyone is all of a sudden traveling again, and I was panicking. I’d also never left our furson with someone I didn’t know before. Gary was super calm, and put me at ease to leave Bosun with him, he was very communicative, and I never had to worry while we were gone, and was able to just enjoy our trip. Bosun, is a sweet boy, but is an intact male, which I know can be a lot to handle if you aren’t firm with him; both Gary and his sweet furson Amigo were patient with him, and able to tire him out enough to behave. I highly recommend Gary, and would have him pup sit anytime we are in the area again.”
“Charlie spent two weeks with Lisa and was so comfortable and well taken care of. We were able to fully log offline and relax knowing he was in good hands! Multiple daily updates with photos and occasional videos. Charlie is a senior dog with separation anxiety so we were very worried about leaving him for so long and finding a sitter who would accommodate his joint problems and medication needs. Lisa was great about his routine and attentive to our requests!”
