“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.”
“Loved Anely, She made me feel at ease leaving my dogs with someone I did not know. She sent me pictures and sent updates of my dogs every day I was gone. They came home happy doggos!”
“Carolina is simply amazing. She is so accommodating and trustworthy. I had at least two updates, pictures, and videos of my little guy. Her family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I will be using her again on our next vacation.”
“Karen is the best sitter. I have been with her for about 6 years and I trust her completely to take care of my dog. She gives him his medication and is very caring. I recommend her if you need a sitter for your dog. Janice S. Cranston”
“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
“Chris and Whitney are fantastic! This is our second time leaving our dog in their care. He was so excited to go back into their house and was so tired when he came back home. Thank you!!”
“Keasha is wonderful! I've have 2 sitters I use with the Rover app and Keasha is one of them. She has this wonderful calmness and welcoming personality. I have used her time and time again because she is phenomenal. She often updates me on how my dog is doing and send me pictures. Which is great when you're away and you know your dog is in the best of care. I have used Keasha with my previous dog Russell who was a senior dog and now again with my newly adopted dog Scooby. She's the best!!”
“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.”
“Another perfect stay with Sarah. Sarah always provides lots of photos and updates everyday. She and Rex took great care of Cooper and Black. We look forward to booking with Sarah again!”
“Jessica, Abu and Justin are the canine equivalent of the cat’s meow of dog sitters. Jessica is quick to communicate, easy going, and so knowledgeable! The backyard and house are well suited to canine guests. We can’t say enough good things and though our sweet dog is a homebody, we think he’s actually looking forward to his next stay and whatever adventures await him. Abu is one of a kind and a gentle, friendly host. THANK YOU!”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“Ty housed my cat for 3 weeks and she was fantastic. She sent daily updates/photos on his behavior, eating, etc. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress free knowing my cat was in good hands. I will definitely be requesting her for the future.”
“I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Gil and his dog, Moon, provided for my 50-pound husky puppy, Guy, this weekend! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Gil kept me updated throughout the weekend with adorable pictures of the two dogs playing and having a blast together. It was clear that Guy was not only well-cared for but genuinely enjoying himself. Gil’s communication was excellent—he made sure I felt at ease, sending me regular updates that reassured me Guy was having a fantastic time. Moon, his dog, was the perfect companion, and I could see the bond they quickly developed. The playtime, walks, and overall attention Guy received made it clear that Gil is a true dog lover who goes above and beyond to ensure every pup is happy and safe. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, I highly recommend Gil. He treats your dog like family and makes sure they have an enjoyable, stress-free stay. Guy can’t wait for his next visit!”
“Ashley is Absolutely amazing dog sitter! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in their care. They were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—highly recommend!”
“This was our first experience on Rover and if it can get better than Leanne, I’d be shocked. We’d only boarded our little guy once (2 week ago at our vet) and it was nothing compared to this. Leanne was communicative, sent us tons of photos of our happy pup, and was very easy to exchange info/socialize our pups in advance. On our way back from our time away, my wife and I were saying we can’t wait to leave a review…and we hope our Blue dog wants to come home ?. Thank you Leanne for caring for our boys along with all of your own. Leanne is close to TF Green as well, so super convenient for families that need care and may be flying. We’ve found our go to sitter for our little guy.”
“Briana was wonderful to work with. She took my dog for 7 nights while I was away, and sent me 70 pictures during her stay! Briana had lots of dogs to keep my energetic puppy busy all day.”

“She was so amazing with my kitten! Gave me an update everyday on what they did during the drop in and plenty of photos to show me how it went. Gave me peace of mind and helped me feel better about having to leave her. So great and communicative would definitely recommend!”
“Maryann ticks all the boxes and then some. She's thorough, on-time, kind, and flexible - all what you would hope and expect of a pet-sitter. But we discovered she goes above and beyond to make sure your loved one is well taken care of, even when the whole city loses power and there are trees down and many animals to care for! I would recommend Maryann to anyone in the are looking for a new best friend for their pet and sound peace of mind for themselves.”
“Heath was great in watching over our cat! Very easy to communicate with, and I loved all of the photos that I received of our cat. He also seemed very happy and well taken care of when we returned home. I would definitely recommend using Heath as your pet sitter and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Christa is an amazing sitter we’ve worked with over several years. Always so friendly, calm and kind to our sometimes not so considerate cats. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for in home car visits.”
“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!”
“Emily was very caring and responsible. She was able to administer Winston's meds without incident. She was always on time and took great care of Winston and was very respectful of my home also. I highly recommend Emily as an exceptional cat sitter.”
“Nicole took excellent care of our cat Moe while we were away. She clearly understands his personality and needs, and they picked right up where they left off from her previous caretaking visit. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, Moe was happy and completely himself when we returned. I highly recommend Nicole - she did a fantastic job!”
“Sam is fantastic! So easy to communicate with. We did a quick meet and greet with my kitty Pandora and then we were good to go. Very easy sit, would definitely book with Sam again”
“Liana was an excellent caretaker. She immediately achieved my cat's trust and sent wonderful photos. Both cat and house were in excellent shape when I returned. I recommend her highly.”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“Chawney was great with my two cats. One is very old and is ill with cancer; he must be pilled every day. Chawney met the challenge, for which I am very grateful. My cats received great care and were as happy as could be when I returned.”
About: I am well researched and every attentive to body language matching the needs of every animal I interact with. I have experience with automatic litter boxes and manual litter boxes, I am good at administering medications to animals and am pretty good at clipping nails.
“Kaitlyn was absolutely wonderful with my cats! She provided fantastic care, kept me updated with photos, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone so dependable and caring. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Maya did an excellent job taking care of my cat, communicated extremely well, and sent lots of cute photos. Very trustworthy and kind. I think I've found a go-to sitter! Thanks again.”
“Carse did a wonderful job with keeping me updated / providing lots of pictures and info and making sure my cat was well cared for. He is often shy around new people, but I could really tell how much he warmed right up to her! Would absolutely book again.”
“Meira was an incredible sitter for my two cats when I was away on vacation. She was always on time, consistent with updates, and more than willing to provide extra love and attention. I would definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“Natasha is great! She fed my pup who has several medications with his dinner and walked him after for a drop in visit. She even kindly washed his dish. Sounds like he gets excited to see her and I trust she will always come on time and take good care for my boy.”
“Fiona is incredible! My husband and I recently went away and had Fiona watch our two precious cats; it’s very hard for us to find a good fit for a sitter because one of our cats is diabetic and has been described as “fractious”. She’s very sweet…but only after she’s been sufficiently vicious. Fiona came by a couple of times before our trip to test the waters and try checking the cats blood sugar. She became the third person who is able to, which in itself is amazing. We knew that both our sweet girls were in good hands while we were away AND we received daily pictures and videos!! Some of the pictures were just amazing, and you can tell that Fiona truly enjoys spending time with the animals she cares for. Our fractious kitty even snuggled a bit and posed for some selfies; our other shy kitty came out to play. It was so clear that they both felt comfortable with her. I can’t imagine having anyone else pet sit in the future. Fiona is a gift and we’re so lucky to have found her. I can’t recommend her enough!!”

“Anely was incredible! Hands down the best! She kept me updated with my fur babies the whole day. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their doggies. Thank you again Anely! I will for sure get you again if I need a doggie sitter :)”
“Gilbert is the best Rover host I’ve had the pleasure of using to watch Leo. I was provided videos throughout the day and Leo played hard with Gilbert’s dog Moon all day. I couldn’t be happier and I’m going back tomorrow for one more day. Gilbert was also very flexible with my schedule as I hit a snag during my business in Providence.”
“Keasha was great! She watched my 4 month old puppy for the day and he had a great time. He is a little shy and she really helped him gain more confidence. He came home exhausted after a fun day of walks, playing outside, and cuddles.”
“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”
“I’m very grateful to Hanna & Roy.✨ Besides being such lovely people, I truly appreciate them for taking care of my puppy🐶 From the very first moment, they showed so much love and dedication. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Haru’s well-being: they gave him affection, were attentive to him at all times, and played with him a lot. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good.”
“Very is amazing! Bodhi loved his two days with her while mom & dad did NPT Folk Fest! They went on walks, to the park, and even got some good cuddles in. Thank you so so much!!”
“Zachary was great and took Oakley in last-minute after my other sitter cancelled. He was very understanding of Oakley's needs and they seemed to have a great time!”
About: Hi! We are a sister team with over a decade of experience in dog rescue and animal care! We have veterinary experience and can provide basic medical care such as injections or administration of medications. We love animals and are patient and understanding. We can’t wait to meet you & your pet! Every pet is different and has different needs. We like to learn about those in advance and proceed on a per pet basis. Some dogs need more patience and structure for instance, or benefit from mental stimulation as much as physical. We can adjust our care style to the specific needs of the client. The pets safety and comfort is of top priority. We have availability throughout the week and can often accommodate weekend requests as well. Please note bookings m-f between 11am-2pm are the most popular time slots and often secured in advance by weekly reoccurring. We can offer drop ins, cuddle sessions, structured walks, play time/toys, work on basic training, exercise sessions and more! Pets under our care are our top priority and will be treated like family.
“Without a doubt 5 stars! ✨ We were in the area for the weekend and one of the days we had an activity that our dog was not able to come with. Our dog can be strong willed and will take advantage of his size if he thinks he can get away with it. I initially chose Rich/aka Kemba on Rover because his profile pic was with an Akita! Regardless of that, Kemba was the perfect match for Rocky! He sent us some photos of their adventures out and about, and a sweet video walking (with a loose leash, no one was being pulled like a kite!) with a friend's dog. Our drop off and pickup was super smooth. Kemba made a suggestion for our meeting location that made it easy and he delivered Rocky to us at our Airbnb at the end of the afternoon. I felt complete confidence in Kemba's judgement and care with our boy.”
“Another great few days with Ty! She communicates clearly, follows through on all logistics and timelines, and most importantly, cares for Dexter with kindness and diligence. He loves spending time with her!”
“Marcy loves staying with Michelle! She always eagerly runs to the door at dropoff. Michelle is great about sending updates throughout the day as well.”
About: Hi I’m Emma! I love dogs and cats and all animals. I’ve worked with lizards and chickens before . I’m available during the day all the time! I’ve been a pet over for over 20 years and have watched dozens of dogs! I’m available during the day all week and weekends. Please schedule as soon as possible for over nights!

“Isabel took wonderful care of Dexter this week! We so enjoyed her thoughtful and informative daily updates. She made sure he was comfortable, following his usual daily schedule and fostering positive and playful interactions with her dog Griggs. We are grateful for her proactive and in-depth communication and her timely pickups and dropoffs. She is a dog sitting gem!”
“Elba is wonderful and Sonny loved spending time with her. He loved running around her yard and made friends quickly with her. She is very responsive and wonderful at communication, she is experienced and knowledgeable. I recommend her 100%!”
“Raquel is one of the best dog sitters I have ever used on this app! She was very accommodating when it came to my dog. She even gave me updates throughout the day so I could see how my dog was doing.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable pet sitter based in Providence, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up always being around dogs and cats—walking them, feeding them, and helping take care of their daily routines. Being with animals has always felt natural to me, not just something I do, but something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had different kinds of hands-on experiences that taught me a lot about animal care. I’ve cared for a cat that had a litter of kittens, helped raise and look after them, and learned what it takes to keep both mom and babies safe and comfortable. I’ve also been an animal foster caregiver, which gave me experience adjusting quickly to different personalities, routines, and needs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets—whether they’re shy, playful, older, or need a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to be patient, consistent, and to follow instructions closely so pets feel secure in their environment. My goal is always to show up calm, caring, and dependable, and to make sure every pet I look after feels safe and every owner feels at ease while they’re away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy building time into my schedule to walk, check on, and spend time with animals, and I’m flexible enough to adjust around each pet’s needs. I like being consistent, so pet care becomes a steady part of my week that I can commit to fully and responsibly. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions exactly as given so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable with feeding, water, litter or walks, and giving them attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also make sure to respect the home and leave everything clean and organized. If pets are in my care at my home, I make sure they are in a calm, safe environment where they can relax, stay on their usual schedule, and feel comfortable and secure.
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.

“Really glad I found Maryann! Our dog has not done well during the pandemic. She’s become anxious and reactive around new people and other animals. I could tell immediately that Maryann knew exactly what to do to make KC, our 75 lb Old English Sheepdog, comfortable and less anxious. Maryann understands dogs and was even able to provide useful information about proper dog walking techniques. Also, she’s kind and extremely professional!”
“Christa is a lifesaver! She is so sweet and has great availability. I can leave the house with peace of mind knowing that my energetic 70 lb pup is in great hands with Christa!”
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.
About: I have many years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as being a dog, cat, and house sitter for friends, family, and others referred by folks I know. I'm responsible, I'm experienced, I'm reliable, and I'd love to meet you and your pets! My schedule is very open and flexible to provide you with care and coverage for your pets weekdays and weekends, days and evenings too. If you need overnights, I'm available for that as well. I'll come to your home to care for your pets in their most comfortable and familiar environment. I'll take them for walks, play with them, feed them, and give them snugs and love.
“Having Rania be apart of our dog care team has been amazing! We hired Rania after I suffered a serious injury that required surgery and months of recovery. I was hesitant at first to hire someone to walk our boy as he can be difficult and picky, but my Riley took a liking to Rania right away and she has been key every since. She is super responsible and always communicates in a timely fashion if she is running late. I highly recommend Rania if you are in need for a caring, responsible walker.”
“Fiona is amazing, I called on her last minute and she wash my answer to my original walker ghosting me last minute. Thanks so much Fiona, Riot adore you and we can both agree that you’re a keeper.”
“Natasha was great with my pup! He loved his walks and the attention she gave him. She was very professional and super quick to respond to any messages for booking. She even brought in a package for me that came during his walk which was very kind of her.”
“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”
About: Overview: I have always grown up with animals of all sorts, mainly small dogs, and now live with a cat and tortoise. I have experience with feeding, potty training, sleep training, trick training, caging, walking, bathing and grooming, cleaning up, playing, exercising, and loving each of my beloved pets. Each task is beyond worth it. If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to ask! My Fun Pet facts: - I have had a 14 year old Russian tortoise rescue, named crash, for 5 years now! It is named after the fact that he lives in a glass tank and sometimes forgets the glass is a wall. Also I set him free often to wander, and he's an adrenaline junky that loves to try to climb, drop, and crash into various objects and walls! - I raised salt water fish in my childhood home from lion fish to banana eels to pufferfish and idols and tangs! - My biggest dream is to have dog, cats, bunnies, ducks, and horses on my own homestead! pigs, goats, and any other animal would be fun too :) Experience (Personal, Pets, and Personality): Since moving to the city part time, my dogs and I have become very used to handling the hustle and bustle of the streets, especially Central Park. I volunteer at the Broome Animal Shelter to walk their dogs occasionally with friends. As a disabled person myself with pets who have had various issues throughout their and my life with some experience in basic healthcare, and lots of experience in first aid and crisis- any medical procedure needed to be done at home from syringes to needles to gauzes to bandaids, or even just hiding a pill in cheese- I am your guy! As a Filipino, I grew up with a very large family which includes having lots of animals around. But even in my own home, I grew up with a golden retriever, a havanese, and a poodle. Then two Havanese, and their cousin the Italian greyhound and.. another Havanese and... another poodle. I was the kid who memorized every dog breed, and wanted to visit the kennel and beg my parents for another dog. Our house was known as the place to house sit if a loved one was to go on vacation or anything. As an adult, I have lived with a cat each year that I could. Though these pets were pretty small in breed, it's actually my dream to get a dane or a similar sized and mannered big friendly giant. I spent a lot of my time at shelters, in nature camp, and at the nature center when I was a kid keeping all the animals safe. I have been that friend who pets immediately bond with when visiting someone's place for the first time. I was even such a frequent guest at the nature center, I even named one of the corn snakes "Bracelet" since she would hang around my wrist as I went to walk around the Greenberg Nature Center to greet, feed, clean, and care for the other reptiles. I have been an honorary member of the staff since I was 5 years old! I am a full time graduate student now working in Providence for 2 months. Since my work can be flexible and I'm located in the heart of the city, I can be available anytime! I have 5 repeat dog clients right now, and live with a cat and tortoise right now so I'm always surrounded by pets and happy to meet more. I will return to Binghamton August 2, and will be open again for house sitting then. When I am home in New York, I am available full weekends and holidays. I will be curious and courteous about whatever tailored needs your pet has so I can best respect and take care of your pet. For dogs- On walks, I don't just walk alongside a dog but I pay attention to their body, queues, and interests. During house visits, I'd love to keep them engaged by playing with them, keeping them active, and of course letting them rest. I am extremely well organized and I would ensure they get fed and taken out at requested times. For cats- I would make sure that they get what they need and want. From alone time to pets to cuddles to carrying. I would be on time with food, medicine, or any other duties. I would keep a good eye on your cat and ensure they get into minimal trouble, while also letting them roam and explore. For any other animals- I would just be honored to hangout with your pet, as an exotic pet owner myself. I would ensure I am well educated in the handling and care of your animal!

“What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.”
“Eden was great. I had to book relatively last minute. She was very responsive and professional. I had to leave very specific instructions to get into my apartment and she had no issues. Reagan was well taken care of and seemed very happy in the pictures she sent. I would definitely use Eden again!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience in pet care with dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I currently have a dog and cats of my own to help keep your pet company during their stay (for this reason, pets looking to stay with me must be non-aggressive towards cats and other dogs). I offer drop-ins, walks, and boarding services. During their stay, your pup will get daily exercise and activity (depending on their individual needs) through walks, off-leash play in a secure yard, and mentally stimulating games/puzzles. I can take your pet out for the bathroom as often as every three hours, which can be an ideal situation for senior pups or those with medical conditions! If your pet must be left alone during any period of time (such as during feedings), it will be done so in an appropriately-sized crate, and so it is ideal for your pet to be crate-trained. When they aren't playing, your pet will likely be hanging out indoors with me, either lounging around or people-watching out the windows or in a sun-patch on the porch while getting lots and lots of pets. For cats, I offer a deluxe kitty room with a play tunnel, cat tree, high shelves for jumping/climbing, many soft blankets, a variety of toys, a running fountain water bowl, and an abundance of dark hiding places to help them feel comfortable. I am available all day to ensure your pet's needs are met. Dogs can be let out as often as every three hours and cats can be checked on and played with as often as their individual personalities require. I have a fenced-in yard for your pup to play in, as well as cats and a dog of my own to keep them company. Indoors they have plenty of space as well to play, people-watch out the window, and snooze.
About: I love animals of all kinds and have 6 years of experience walking and dog sitting. I also own a cat and feel comfortable with more shy cats that need a little love to come out of their shells. Can provide references upon request. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and would love to set up a regular times for walking and visits. Available both weekdays and weekends. I have a dog friendly neighborhood away from heavy traffic. Starting May 2025 I will be living right near Roger Williams Park and would be happy to take your pet on a walk there as well.
About: If you find yourself busy or cannot fit in a middle of the day, walk for your dog. No need to worry because that's where I come in handy! I'm a huge animal lover and always have been! I have flexible weekend hours that allow you to be worry-free on busy days. $20 for a 30 min. walk & an additional $5 to walk a 2nd dog at the same time from the same family. Send me an email to schedule your first walk. On most Mondays will be free for long walks in the morning. If you have any questions, send me an email, I will be more than glad to answer any questions. Thanks! I work full-time on weekdays but have all weekends available. For me, this is not just a job but a passion. When I have free time, I like to spend it with my pet! As a long-time pet owner, I understand that safety is the most critical aspect of the experience; your love is in good hands at all times.
About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my house, Growing up with large dogs; I'm comfortable with them and capable of handling them, though I love the little guys too! As your dog's caretaker, I'll be sure to get your best friend the exercise and care that they need and deserve, and am excited and willing to go the extra mile if it means I get to spend a little extra time with them. I offer low rates, but that doesn't mean that, I look forward to meeting, playing with, walking, and otherwise looking after your four-legged friend soon, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I am a stay at home dad with my 5 children, whom also love dogs. They as well have been blessed to be raised with big and small dogs. I offer all type of services, overnight, walks, check-ins. I am available all day. I have a large fenced in yard where they can run, play and burn out energy. I have a open availability and home with my pups at all time. I do not like to cage my pup so they mainly free roam the home and I set them up a place to sleep. I follow all instructions left for me if care is to be done in my pups home. When pups are in my home for the most part they free roam my home and I like to take them out for walks and runs.

“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.”
“Loved Anely, She made me feel at ease leaving my dogs with someone I did not know. She sent me pictures and sent updates of my dogs every day I was gone. They came home happy doggos!”
“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
“Chris and Whitney are fantastic! This is our second time leaving our dog in their care. He was so excited to go back into their house and was so tired when he came back home. Thank you!!”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Gil and his dog, Moon, provided for my 50-pound husky puppy, Guy, this weekend! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Gil kept me updated throughout the weekend with adorable pictures of the two dogs playing and having a blast together. It was clear that Guy was not only well-cared for but genuinely enjoying himself. Gil’s communication was excellent—he made sure I felt at ease, sending me regular updates that reassured me Guy was having a fantastic time. Moon, his dog, was the perfect companion, and I could see the bond they quickly developed. The playtime, walks, and overall attention Guy received made it clear that Gil is a true dog lover who goes above and beyond to ensure every pup is happy and safe. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, I highly recommend Gil. He treats your dog like family and makes sure they have an enjoyable, stress-free stay. Guy can’t wait for his next visit!”
“Briana was wonderful to work with. She took my dog for 7 nights while I was away, and sent me 70 pictures during her stay! Briana had lots of dogs to keep my energetic puppy busy all day.”
“Perfect! Thank you so much for taking care of Hartwell. I loved seeing pics and videos of him while I was away and never had to worry because he always looked happy! Will be leaving him with you again. 10/10”

“Karen made our dog feel right at home and has a perfect fenced in yard that is dedicated to the dogs. Her Lab made the perfect companion to keep our excited pup busy and entertained.

“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.”
“Rebecca was a great sitter for our two dogs and cat. Usually they are anxious with new people but from the start, both our dogs were happy to be with her and warmed up to her immediately. Our cat even came out of hiding with her. Rebecca was super responsive, sent photos so we knew all animals were well, and we 100% recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Natalia was great with our boxer. She had so much fun playing with her Corgi and came home happy and tired (always a good sign!). Natalia sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear our girl was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book again.”
