We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”

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.”

It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog!

It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters.

We will definitely use Karen again as Gracie was so comfortable with her and her fur babies. We loved her!!”

Jess sent photos and comments daily, in addition to responding right away to text message when I had a question during Louie's stay with her. I definitely will recommend her, and wish that I could give her 10 stars as well! It was hard for me to leave my 13 year old boy who has limited hearing and vision. She was really caring and terrific! I am so glad to have found her!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful with our 2 boisterous dogs! They were very happy to have her mid-day attention while we were out. She was always ontime and the photos she always sent left a smile on my face knowing they weren't home alone all day and stuck inside. We will definitely be calling her in the future. She is very trustworthy and kind. A real dog-lover, skilled at handling big, boisterous dogs.”
“Deanna was very responsive and trustworthy. I was out of town longer than expected and she came to my home and spent some time with the kitties. I would definitely hire her again in the futire.”
“Every time I book Emily to care for our cat and/or dog, I know our pets will be in the best hands. This time, we booked Emily to stop in and care for our cat - and give her lots of love - while we were away. Emily sent us a really nice Rover card with a detailed summary of her visit with our cat and a bunch of photos. She made sure that our cat was safe and had everything she needed. Emily is always super respectful of our home and our animals and it’s such a comfort to us to receive her updates - we’re so lucky we found her on Rover! We very happily rebooked Emily and will do so again. I highly recommend her to others. Thank you, Emily!”
“Julia is an excellent pet sitter--responsible, communicative, flexible, and caring. I have a cat, so it's important that pet sitters understand cats. Julia shines in this regard, and demonstrated through her words and actions that she is expert in the ways of felines. My cat can be picky about strangers but took to Julia immediately. They had a great time while I was away! I would hire Julia again in a heartbeat.”
“Nicole took amazing care of turbo during our vacation. He is a senior cat, needs medication and had accidents. She gave us a description of every visit and not only did she take care of turbo but also helped with keeping the house very clean. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring person for their pets when they are away.”
About: I've taken care of my neighbors cats for about 3 years give or take. I got my own cat about 2 years ago and he is one of my bestest animal friends. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, cases of emergency, and one time I was sitting a cat the owner had me take it on walks! I have never had to administer medicine on a cat before, but I have for dogs so it is definitely something I could figure out or learn.
“I was very confident that Megan would be great. She lives nearby and has great reviews. She came over for orientation and meet-and-great a few days before. Cats loved her and she gave them lots of attention. Thank you Megan!”
“Michelle was wonderful with our last minute sitting needs. She came to meet us and our pup before we booked to make sure everyone was comfortable. She was very communicative during every visit to make us feel at ease.”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and attention. My family has fostered cats, and I helped care for them while they adjusted and prepared for adoption into new homes. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, so I adapt to their needs. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, and making sure cats feel safe and stress free in their home.

About: I have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I provide feeding, walks, drop in visits, playtime, enrichment, and medication administration with patience and care. I grew up with two Dachshunds and two Border Collies, which gave me experience with both energetic working dogs and smaller companion breeds. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from pugs to Bernese Mountain Dogs, as well as young cats, senior cats, and foster cats preparing for their forever homes.

I make sure each pet gets individual attention, exercise, affection, and care based on their specific needs and energy level. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and any household rules to keep pets comfortable. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior so I can respond calmly and appropriately to their needs. I keep homes clean and tidy, ensure doors and gates are secure. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: I work at Camp Bow Wow as a camp counselor handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I am certified in Dog CPR, First aid, and Safety. I work morning shifts at Camp Bow Wow, so I get out at 1pm. I am looking to walk dogs after my shift as well as stop by for any feedings, tender love and care, or any help with medicine or boarding! I am handling dogs of all temperaments at Camp Bow Wow, I am thoroughly educated in body language and emotional responses in dogs. I also handle a lot of dogs who don’t like to be grabbed so I am confident in handling the nervous and snappy dogs as well.
About: I have had dogs since I was a child. I adopted a Golden Retriever from the South before I married and then adopted another dog (Springer/Brittany mix) from the shelter once I was married. He was the best $25 I ever spent!! He was like my best friend! Then we rescued a German Short Haired Pointer- what a love ! Those boys were very active and required daily runs! I took care of them both until they passed away. When they left us, we rescued two English Setters from Turkey. They are hands down my absolute sweethearts. They are 10 and 12 now. We aren’t running the beach anymore, but we are very happy with long walks in the woods. They are so spoiled - sleep by the fire, sleep in bed with us, sleep in my car- it’s like their crate and they absolutely love to be in it. I also had a cat that I rescued who lived 8 years with us until he passed away and now I have a barn cat. I feed her nightly, but I’m positive I’ve been feeding an opossum for some time! We have met a couple of times- from a distance! I feed her, talk to her nicely and let her be. I have also taken care of my neighbor’s Irish Wolf Hound when my neighbor had long days of doctor appointments in Boston. I am excited to start taking care of cats and dogs for more people. I know what it’s like to need someone you can trust. My pets are like my children! I am obsessed with their well being. I want them to be happy, safe, well fed, exercised and loved all the time!!! I promise to take the best care of your pet and give them all the love they need when you can’t be home. I am very dependable, patient and trustworthy. I was a preschool special education teacher in Providence for 16 years before I became a stay at home mom. My kids are teens now, so have some time to devote to pet care. I'm currently a stay at home mom and I help my parents out as well. I have plenty of time to pop in for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing and giving lots of LOVE to your pet! I will follow your directions "down to a T." I will give your pets lots of love and keep them safe while you are away! I am super trustworthy, dependable, kind and patient.
About: I'm pretty new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors, and have experience administering oral medications, handling emergencies, and providing daily exercise and enrichment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services to learn your pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, my goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every home with respect—often leaving it a little cleaner than I found it. I am working a part time job during the weekdays, usually the shifts are 11am-4 or 5pm, and on the weekends I work longer shifts which vary in time. However... I have many weeks off here and there so I am free a lot of the time. My job is pretty flexible most of the time so I can leave work to walk your pups and make sure they are okay and then go back to work. My yard has an Invisible Fence for my dogs which works out quite nicely and whenever I have other people's dogs over I make sure to keep them on a leash so no accidents happen. That being said, I live with my parents so I would be more geared towards servicing in home visits and stays with your pets at your home.
About: I’ve grown up with many dogs and watched dogs all my life. My mom was a dog groomer and owned a dog day care. I’m currently working part time and will be starting college in the fall but I can always make time to walk your pup or help with your cat! I can watch them overnight, watch them for the day, or take them out for a walks. I can definitely take your pup for a walk multiple times a day and however you train them in your home I will do the same.
