“Dana just loves dogs and my dog is always very happy when she is with Dana. I have used her 3 times and would not hesitate to have my dog with her again! She also sends me wonderful pictures. I trust Dana!”
“Yunshu and her family are absolutely amazing. They treated my dog like it was their own and stayed in great communication with me so I knew how he was doing. I would highly recommend having Yunshu watch your dog!”
“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.”
“I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Erica allowed me to book last minute and was accommodating and communicative. The entire weekend Erica sent updates and pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. We will use her each time we need someone for dog sitting/boarding.”
“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”
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
“Karen is an absolute angel! I am a first time pet owner and this was my first time sending my dog to a sitter. She made the whole process so smooth. From the meet and greet to the day of drop off, she kept in touch and was very responsive. I received updates with pictures and video while I was away on vacation and my shy dog adjusted very well in her environment. In addition, she is very knowledgeable and provided lots of helpful tips in caring for my dog at home!! I will definitely be booking Karen again with no hesitation!”
“Jessica and family were simply the BEST! Louie did not want to leave her house when we first went to visit! 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!”
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
“I have come to rely on Leanne and Michael to take great care of my dog(s) when I go out of town. They get great care and lots of attention. I feel fortunate to have found them.”
“Karissa was very accommodating and responded to my last minute request for care after the sitter scheduled cancelled on us last minute. Right away my dog sensed her good energy, that of her family and home. He was happy at drop off and came back happy, which speaks volumes of the good care he received. I appreciated the daily update and reassuring pictures. If I am in Newport next year, I hope Chapu can stay with Karissa and family again. Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Melissa was awesome always updating me about mickey . She made him feel comfortable and even thought he had a few accidents she was very understanding and respectful. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again. Thank you Melissa you were amazing”
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 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.
“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!”
“Mary was excellent! She took care of my two cats while we were on vacation for almost two weeks. She came over twice a day and provided updates and pictures of them everyday. I felt super at ease knowing they were in great hands while we were away. 10/10 would hire her again!”
“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’m a lifelong cat owner who has shared my home with cats at every stage of life — from bottle-fed kittens to beloved seniors. I’ve cared for multiple cats at once and know that every cat has its own personality, quirks, and comfort level with strangers. I specialize in drop-in visits in your home, because I genuinely believe cats are happiest in their own space. Whether your cat greets me at the door or takes three days to come out from under the bed, I’m patient, calm, and happy to work on their timeline. I have experience with shy and anxious cats, and I’m comfortable with special feeding routines and dietary needs. South Kingstown locals — I know how hard it is to find reliable cat care in South County. I keep my service area small intentionally, so I can give your cats the consistent, unhurried attention they deserve while you’re away
About: Hi! I’ve had my cat since I was 15 years old, and now at 24, I’ve been her primary caregiver for nearly a decade. From the very beginning, I’ve been fully responsible for her daily care — feeding, litter maintenance, grooming, playtime, vet visits, and making sure she feels safe and loved every single day. Because I’ve exclusively cared for her myself, I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to cats. I’m very in tune with feline behavior and body language, whether that means giving them space, engaging them in interactive play, or offering plenty of affection when they want it. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m careful with doors, mindful of routines, and respectful of each cat’s unique personality. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your cat will receive gentle, attentive, and loving care with me — always. 🐾

“Dana was awesome and Cali loved playing with her pups! She was able to watch Cali with such short notice and took great care of her! She sent me photos and videos throughout the day and kept me updated with how she was adjusting!”
“Maple had been with us for only 3 weeks and it was the first time leaving her for an afternoon. We now believe that she'd like to know when we're planning to go away again (so she can go back to Sharon's house). It worked out very very well. Sharon is calm and more than competent.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of all different breads and sizes. I can handle large/strong dogs as well as puppies that need extra attention. We have kids and our own dog (Beira, the Scottish Terrier) so I know how important good, easy care is. As well as patience and attention. I am available during most days for quick care and walks built around school and kid activities. I have my own car and can make the trips or even transport if needed. Overnight care can be discussed as I'm open to it under a week long. I am flexible enough to meet your pet care needs. Basic walks and play, feeding, medicine distribution, and anything else you need. I myself am active so playing isn't an issue or even giving baths.
“Thank you so much for taking the time and patience to enjoy Ocean and help ease my worry as well! Once he got home took a long nap I know he enjoyed himself. Looking forward to next visit in few weeks!”
“Natalie took good care of Miss Winnie. Winnie seemed to have lots of fun and was well taken care of and got a long very well with the other dogs in her care. Highly recommend Natalie.”
“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!”
About: I am an animal lover. I have watched other’s pets for long and short periods of time (6 months). From puppy to elder dog. To healthy to needing medications. Your dog, when with me, is the most important person in the world to me. I don’t text or talk on the phone when with your pet. All my attention is focused on your loved ones safety I work part time from home. Very flexible hours You name the time of day or night and I can be there. I am looking for 3-4 regular clients. I cannot have a pet overnight. It’s not allowed where I live. I can watch your pet at your pets home, which I think makes them feel more comfortable. I normally just sleep on the couch with the dogs. When they are with me, they are as loved as they are my own. It’s very hard for me to say goodbye so it’s often when I am with a doggy for 45 min and I am only booked for 30 min. I am just switching to Rover from Wag I had over 300 dogs and 50 preferred clients. If you were to go to their site, you will see, I am by the numbers, their highest rated walker. I am switching to River because I feel Rover provides more support for the walker and the pet owner

“My typically timid Leo warmed up to Alex within minutes and only briefly hesitated before trotting off for their first walk together. Alex was wonderful and reassuring to him.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Emily exceeded our expectations (and then some!). She was super responsive, came to visit our high energy puppy before a week of walks, and very communicative with pictures and messages. Our puppy clearly adored her. I’d trust her with any dog and look forward to booking her again!”
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. What sets me apart is my calm, structured, and dependable approach. I understand how important routines are for pets and work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also clean, tidy, respectful in clients’ homes, and committed to providing trustworthy care you can rely on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining consistent care schedules. I am a teacher with the summers off. I prioritize reliability, communication, and routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m flexible with walks, drop ins, and feeding schedules. 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 have always loved taking care of animals. I often take care of families pets when needed. I have also taken care of friends pets. I go to school at the University of Rhode Island. I have time in between my classes to make some extra cash and I have always loved looking after dogs and cats I take care of my aunts dog the most. Take him out for walks and to use the potty.

“Hayley is the absolute best. Our pets love her, and we’ve been using her for some time now. She always goes above and beyond, and leave great notes about each check in.”
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: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. I had a dog growing up and have a cat from childhood into my twenties, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. From walks, playtime, and training reinforcement to litter care, feeding schedules, and lots of cuddles — I’m comfortable and confident with both dogs and cats. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently applying to graduate school for my Master’s in Nursing and working part-time, which has helped me become very organized, responsible, and mindful with my schedule. I plan my days carefully and make sure I have dedicated time set aside for pet visits, walks, feeding, and quality attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is actually a great balance to my academic and work responsibilities. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening care, I make sure each visit is unhurried, attentive, and focused on your pet’s safety and comfort. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m very affectionate and love giving pets the attention they deserve, but I also prioritize safety above everything. I’m attentive to routines, careful with doors and leashes, mindful on walks, and respectful of any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they feel safe.
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.

“Gabriela got along well with my dogs but I never received any information or photos from her during the entire time she was dog sitting. When I asked her, she said everything was fine. When I asked her to send photos and mentioned that I hadn't received anything, she said she was under a lot of personal stress. Everyone goes through bad times and I hope she's okay.”

About: Ever since a young age, I have been taking care of animals. For 14 years, I had a white German Shepherd, and she was truly part of the family. Starting in high school I would volunteer to pet sit for anyone who needed my services! No matter big or small, I love them all. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pets of my own currently, so I have to get my puppy loving from other peoples pets! I’d love to get the chance to help you out! Right now I’m currently available after 4:30 PM during the weekdays. If given enough notice, I’m available, full weekends as well. I know most people love planning ahead and so do I! Considering your pet will be in their own home, I will do my best to stick to their usual routine. Whether it’s letting them out on a leash or in your fenced in backyard. If your pet uses a cage, I will follow whatever protocol you choose!
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 years old, and ever since then I have always had an animal by my side. From cats to dogs to even ducks and chickens! I love them all!

“I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Erica allowed me to book last minute and was accommodating and communicative. The entire weekend Erica sent updates and pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. We will use her each time we need someone for dog sitting/boarding.”

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”
“Karen and Chris were fantastic! They are such a nice family that took excellent care of our pup. They were great with communication and pictures. I knew our dog was safe and loved! Highly recommend!!!”
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
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
“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.”
“I brought my beloved Pomeranian Samara to Zoe this week. She spent two nights and when I picked her up she was happy and very tired from all her playing with another little dog. Zoe has a fenced back yard and Samara was free to run unleashed and enjoying zoomies. Zoe kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I felt so grateful for Zoe's outstanding and kind care. I will definitely trust her again.”
“Nervous about leaving our furbabies because of a prior experience. David was wonderful, playing with our high energy Rocco and entertaining nosey Lahey. So grateful that we found him and will rebook. He listens about your furbabies needs and genuinely cares. Highly recommend.”
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.
