About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.
“Dana was amazing. I had only had my dog for a month and I needed to find a sitter for a week. The meet and greet with Dana went so well I didn't even bother meeting the other sitters. Her home is like paradise for dogs! She has several dogs of her own and also fosters dogs. She has a fenced in yard and a cozy living room, where the dogs can roam freely. While my dog was there, she sent me a message with pictures every day! This was especially appreciated. I highly recommend Dana. I could not have been happier with her service!”
“Carolina was amazing with Mucci!! She communicated well, sent updates and pictures, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He looked relaxed and happy with her and her family and I appreciated how attentive she was to his needs. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I would definitely book with you again.”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Sharon did an awesome job making sure Cricket was happy and comfortable! Cricket is a senior dog who is blind and challenges with hearing and doing steps so caring for her is a bit of a challenge. Cricket has happy and safe - what more could a dog-mommy want?? Thanks, Sharon!”
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful with Archie. He suffers from separation anxiety when first meeting new people but Suzanne made sure he felt at home in no time. He got a lot of play time and car rides too! Suzanne sent us photos and provided great updates. When we arrived to collect him he was so happy and relaxed and ran back to her kids to say goodby a couple of times. He was a happy dog and I know he will love to go back. Her location is perfect for our random trips to Uncasville and Rhode Island, and Suzanne will be our "go-to first choice for sitter for any future trips!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! Her and her family made our dog feel so warm and welcome despite being a nervous Nelly around new people. She sent us regular updates and photos, so we always had peace of mind!”
“Connie is a fabulous dog sitter! She took care of our little guy Rory while my husband and I were staying at the Weekapaug Inn. Rory absolutely loved Connie and her sweet pup. Connie was super responsive, provided a ton of text and picture updates and kept Rory active and entertained. We so look forward to having Connie watch Rory again and could t recommend her enough!”
“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”
“Eugene is an excellent dog sitter! He took my energetic lab on long walks in the forest and beach; she had a great time. Eugene provided updates throughout the weekend and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again.”
“Olivia was fantastic. While we were gone we had a record breaking snow storm . She sent me a picture of Miska with her own outdoor path. I felt confident that she was well cared for. She went above and beyond to accommodate our late return home.”
“We accidentally booked a no pets hotel once and needed a pet sitter asap and Ansley took our dog in extremely last minute! He was so loved that we took him AND our cat back. Ansley goes above and beyond for our fam and fur babies! We drive out of state now just to take them to her 🥰”
“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!”
About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy. I’m comfortable using a variety of tools, including harnesses, e-collars, and prong collars, based on what works best for your dog. I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care. Our days include structured walks, enrichment activities, play and yard time, relaxation/place work, and hikes when appropriate. I closely monitor each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I tailor care to their individual needs. With my training background and veterinary experience, I’m able to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping dogs safe, calm, and happy in my home. In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.
“Can not say enough good things about Shauna & Nixley. I was nervous to leave my Roxy for nine days while I was on vacation, but they both made me feel very reassured with multiple updates/pictures. Couldn't be happier with the way she was taken care of and spoiled as if she were home with me :-) I highly recommend and will use again in the future!”

About: While I of course adore dogs, at the end of the day cats are my original love. I grew up surrounded by them, and I am genuinely excited when new kitty clients come my way. I have two boys of my own, Dragon and Chowder, and they are my babies. I am very comfortable dealing with anything cat related!
About: I’ve owned and cared for my own cat, so I understand how to meet their individual needs and respect their space. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and understanding cat behavior. What sets me apart is my patience and calm approach. I make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking closely to their normal routine.
“I felt totally secure while I was away on vacation knowing that my pet Wrecks was being cared for. She visited my home and even sent me pictures that warmed my heart while I was away! Will truly never use anyone else!! So so so great!”
“Kate’s first visit was an orientation and she was back today to run through the routine with me standing by in case she had any questions. It also gave my cat a chance to get to know her a little better. Kate remembered pretty much everything we went over during our first visit and did a good job with feeding my cat and changing the litter box. Unfortunately, my cat got a little spicy because she is shy with strangers. Kate took it all in stride. She was very professional and I plan to rebook her.”
“Heidii was an absolutely fabulous pet sitter for us. We have a super shy Kitty who doesn't like anybody and she fell in love with Heidii. We got regular photos and videos and she was very well cared for. Would strongly recommend Heidii as a pet sitter and we will be using her again.”
About: I’ve had pets for nearly my whole life! I grew up with the best golden retriever anyone could ask for and now I have two cats that I would do literally anything for. I frequently take care of pets of my friends and family and absolutely love being around pets. I am currently on Christmas break and work in a restaurant a few days a week so I have a very flexible schedule. I can do same day walks/check-ins to accommodate your needs! Keeping your dog active and stimulated is the best way to keep them happy. I clean up any messes they made and will ensure that they get all the love and care in the world!
“Amy took excellent care of our spicy boy Chorizo. She is very communicative and reliable. We will definitely book with her again and absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Communication was a little difficult, and we benefited from a flexible schedule, but they got my normally reserved cat to open up and play with them, so I can wholly believe that they were taking the absolute best care of my pet.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 11 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. I currently have my own senior dog and have taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!
“We’re new to the area so we don’t know anybody who could watch our spoiled felines while we were away. Verca took the time to come introduce herself, meet the cats, and chat. We were nervous, especially since one of our cats has anxiety but, even he warmed up to her by the second day! We’ve booked her for our longer trip later this month too!”

About: I’ve always owned a dog since I was born. I grew up with a beautiful german shepard and currently own 2 mixed breed rescue dogs. Some people call me the animal whisperer because whenever I go to their house their dog/cat runs to me and wants to enjoy my company. I don’t have professional experience with pets but I did personally train my two dogs, and they are very well behaved and listen to commands. I’m currently working part-time while searching for a new steady full-time job. In the mean time, I felt like taking this opportunity to supervise other owners’ dogs when they’re in need and when I have free time to make some extra cash would benefit everyone. I own two dogs, Heidi and Bailey. Heidi is an absolute sweetheart and very down to earth. Bailey is also adorable and just wants to show love, however she was a rescue pup and suffers severe anxiety, ptsd, and separation anxiety. While my two dogs do get along with each other, Bailey can get quite protective and aggressive with dogs she has not met before. There have been times where in a large open space she was able to calmly meet other dogs. I would be able to come to my client’s house to pet-sit but would not be able to bring my client’s pet to my house just for the safety of the situation and our pets.
“We left Emma in Maggie's care and she took very good care of our 12 yo lab. Maggie administered medicine took her for walks fed her and made sure she was taken care of while we were away. Very happy with service she provided and wouldn't hesitate to hire her again! Thanks Maggie”

“I can’t say enough good things about Sue! She was so incredibly accommodating and patient with my dog. My dog, Sadie, was uncharacteristically anxious and scared on our vacation. She was having a really hard time separating from me at all. Sue took the time to get her acclimated with the new environment and allowed me into her home to give Sadie time to adjust and get comfortable. She played calming music for Sadie and gave her her favorite treat- peanut butter. By the time we picked Sadie up, she was very happy and more back to herself. Sue gave Sadie so much love and attention the whole time I was at the aquarium. I was able to have a good time, knowing my dog was in good hands. Sue kept me updated on Sadie’s progress with texts, pictures and videos. I am so very grateful and would recommend Sue to anyone seeking a great pet sitter!”
“This was my first time ever leaving Ange. I was a little nervous, but everything went great over all. Carolina text me through out the day and made me feel so comfortable with me leaving Ange. I will definitely use Carolina in the near future.”
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have extensive experience caring for pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs—whether that means caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine, where I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always prioritize communication and will keep you updated for complete peace of mind! I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with pet care throughout the day. I’m able to take dogs out frequently, provide attention, and fit in short walks as needed. In my home, dogs have access to a safe, fully fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of attention, play, and comfort indoors. I stick closely to each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I’m equally attentive and respectful, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal routine and providing consistent care, affection, and updates.
“I came into the area for the day and Elizabeth was so wonderful to watch my dog Daisy. She has such a lovely home and family. I would absolutely 💯% recommend Elizabeth. Daisy had a great day in her care!”
“Jen is the best and is super flexible with our crazy schedules. She takes care of our little girl with the utmost care and love. Daisy is sad to go on vacation and miss Jen’s place!💕”
About: Hi. My name is Bree, I'm an independent journalist working and living in Mystic, CT. I love gardening, hiking, reading, and being outdoors. I have a Golden Mountain Dog and a young child so dogs need to be kid and dog friendly. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. As I'm self-employed and work from home, my work day is very flexible. I try my best to stick to your pet’s routine and happy to accommodate their schedule. I have a fairly large fenced in yard in downtown Mystic and I would love to have your dog with me at my house. My dog is very friendly and would love to play with your dog. If you have any questions please reach out.
About: I believe that with age comes wisdom, patience, and experience that simply can’t be taught. I am lucky enough to have reached the age where I have gained said wisdom, patience, and experience that only age can bestow upon us! For this reason, in addition to my 30 years of experience caring for dogs is what I believe separates me from other pet sitters. I have over 30 years of experience caring for both large and small dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Over the years, I’ve developed not only strong, reliable caregiving skills but also a deep and genuine love for dogs. Their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that dogs are not “one size fits all.” Every dog has a unique personality, temperament, energy level, and set of needs. Some thrive on long walks and endless games of fetch, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddle time. I take the time to learn each dog’s routines, preferences, and comfort zones so I can provide personalized care that helps them feel secure and loved. Our family recently lost our beloved Chiweenie, Bailey, at 14 years old. She was truly part of our family, and caring for her through every stage of her life only deepened my understanding of the changing needs dogs have as they age. While we don’t currently have a dog, we are looking forward to welcoming the next fur baby into both our hearts and our home. My posted rates are all “starting at” rates. Once I meet a prospective family and learn more about their dog’s specific needs, we can always discuss and adjust rates accordingly. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I am attentive, patient, and committed to providing individualized, compassionate care for every dog entrusted to me. New Clients Use My Code For $20 Off of Your First Service! https://www.rover.com/sit/katiel73869 I care for your pet(s) the way I cared for my own pet; with love, careful attention, (not only for signs of what s/he may need, but also to help build a bond with your fur baby, and for safety), and respect. Your dog is welcome both on my couch and in my bed. If this is something that is against the rules in your home, please let me know so that I’m not unknowingly breaking your rules! The best way to explain how I will treat your dog is, “I will treat your dog(s) like I would treat my own,” or “I will treat your dog the way I would want someone to treat my dog!”
“Molly has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone, which limits what we can do during the week. We have been looking for someone to watch her regularly for church on Sundays though and I’m so glad we found Madelyn! We drop Molly off in the morning and pick her up a few hours later and we know she’s in good hands. Madelyn provides prompt communication and takes good care of our girl!”
About: I have helped families take care of their pets (and kids!) for over 20 years! I just moved to Westerly with my husband, rescue pup, and sweet senior cat and we just had our first child. I enjoy helping families with their fur babies as I settle into being a stay at home mom! Depending on the baby’s schedule, sometimes my husband does the visits for me or we all go together with the baby in a carrier— let me know in advance if you have any issues. Being a mother is my full time job, so my schedule is very flexible! Feel free to inquire about a date that is marked unavailable. I take into consideration what each pet needs during my visits, whether that’s a long walk, a few rounds of fetch or just some cuddles.

I currently work full time but any free time I would love to fit your dog in my schedule! Reach out and we can figure something out. My apartment complex has a dog park right next to my apartment so I will utilize that to get the dog outside and moving around.

I currently have lots of availability and I would be my pleasure to walk and check in for your pups and cats several times a week.

About: Born and raised in a family of passionate pet sitters, I've honed my skills in dog sitting from an early age. With a background of caring for Newfoundlands, cats, and my own furry friend, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting assignment. From leisurely strolls to cozy cuddle sessions, I prioritize the happiness and well-being of every dog in my care. I have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer when I’m off from teaching and available full-time for pet care. During the school year, I’m available mornings, midafternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to provide dependable and consistent care whenever needed. As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for the animals in my care. I ensure they receive personalized attention and follow any specific instructions provided by the client regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any other special needs. I maintain open communication with the client, providing regular updates and photos to offer peace of mind while they're away. Additionally, I'm attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, respecting the client's space as if it were my own.

About: I I have a unique background in dog sitting that sets me apart from others. For years, I’ve lovingly cared for my own 16-year-old rescue dog, who had special needs. This experience taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual requirements, especially senior dogs who need a little extra support and patience. In addition to senior care, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, gaining valuable insights into their different needs and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, ever since I adopted my golden retriever as a puppy—she’s now 2 years old and absolutely loves other dogs. Living within walking distance of the beach, I’m always excited to take dogs on outdoor adventures, making sure they have a fantastic time during their stay with me. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply extra snuggles, I’m dedicated to keeping every dog happy, comfortable, and safe. I am currently self-employed and work on my own time virtually. I am pretty much home all day everyday! I love being outside and going on long walks with the dogs I sit for. I have a yard with a stake for safe outdoor time, and I live within walking distance to the water—so the dogs will be going on plenty of walks and adventures.

About: I am as reliable, flexible, and obsessed with animals as they come! Having grown up helping my parents with their petsitting business, I am experienced and familiar with the ins and outs of caring for other people's pets and homes. I also have three cats of my own who are the loves of my life, and have lived with several wonderful dogs over the years. As a long time Rover user, I know all too well how important it is for a sitter to send timely, thoughtful, and detailed updates after each visit. I strive to provide the same level of communication that I'd hope to receive about my own pets because I know how much this helps put your mind at ease while you're away. In addition to the services listed on my profile, I'm eager to help out in other ways that you might need - watering plants, receiving packages/bringing in the mail, etc. I'm happy to discuss this in more detail if there's anything else I can do for you. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I care for pets full-time, which allows me to be adaptable to other people's varying schedules when needed. Plans change, and things happen! We'll make it work. The flexibility in my schedule allows me to accommodate last minute bookings under most circumstances. I currently cannot care for pets in my home, as I unfortunately do not have the space needed to provide this service to customers right now.
“Kristine is a kind, very responsible dog walker. Our dog liked her right away. I look forward to booking her any time we are away to take care of our dog and cat. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for both a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition to my own pets, I regularly dog sat a corgi named Allen for two years, giving me hands-on experience with consistent routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with animals! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also great with maintaining structure, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules or making sure energetic dogs get the exercise they need. I currently work part-time, but I have flexible availability during the week and weekends. I am unavailable on Friday nights, but I’m happy to help with mornings, afternoons, and other evenings. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I’m always attentive to their needs. I make sure doors and leashes are secure, provide plenty of care and supervision, and communicate with you so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.
“It’s always really difficult to leave your furbabies behind for a few hours. But we were more at ease when we saw all the great pictures of our doodle during her walk and although I only booked a session for one dog. Deborah took her time to add fresh water and give our senior dog extra cuddles. We appreciate you! Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you!”
“Susan has been taking such care with my English Bulldog, George, when she takes him on walks. It has been a huge relief to have a responsible, caring person walking my dog while I am away from home for extended time.”
About: Hello, I’m Rachel, a total animal-lover with over 15 years of pet care experience! I’m a nanny and hiking enthusiast who'd love to take your pet on a nice brisk walk or run! I’m also a renowned expert at "the art of the belly rub"--5 out of 5 furry friends recommend. If your pet has any kind of special need, I’m happy to accommodate!

Whether you need me for daily walks, drop-ins, or desire extended overnight care, you can trust that when you leave your pets in my care, they are treated like family. Feel free to send me a message at any time :). I currently have flexible availability and can fit your pet care needs into my daily and weekly routine, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends when needed. For dog walking and check-in services, I will be sure to refresh your pet's water, play with them, and feed them if requested. Walks will be as long or short as needed, feel free to me know your pet's physical activity level and needs so I can provide the best possible exercise. When providing overnight care, I provide multiple updates daily with descriptions of your pet's day, along with photos, ensuring you don't miss a thing.
About: I have helped families take care of their pets (and kids!) for over 20 years! I just moved to Westerly with my husband, rescue pup, and sweet senior cat and we just had our first child. I enjoy helping families with their fur babies as I settle into being a stay at home mom! Depending on the baby’s schedule, sometimes my husband does the visits for me or we all go together with the baby in a carrier— let me know in advance if you have any issues. Being a mother is my full time job, so my schedule is very flexible! Feel free to inquire about a date that is marked unavailable. I take into consideration what each pet needs during my visits, whether that’s a long walk, a few rounds of fetch or just some cuddles.

Was thrilled to find such a kind, caring and communicative person to care for Rex when my vacation schedule became too busy and complicated to include him. Toria was flexible With my changing plans, communicated clearly and was dependable. Could not ask for more.”
About: I’ve had pets for nearly my whole life! I grew up with the best golden retriever anyone could ask for and now I have two cats that I would do literally anything for. I frequently take care of pets of my friends and family and absolutely love being around pets. I am currently on Christmas break and work in a restaurant a few days a week so I have a very flexible schedule. I can do same day walks/check-ins to accommodate your needs! Keeping your dog active and stimulated is the best way to keep them happy. I clean up any messes they made and will ensure that they get all the love and care in the world!
About: I've taken care of all different kinds of pets throughout my life, including my own dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and even a rabbit. I've also been taking care of my two neighbors' cats for around 8 years now, making stops to feed them, change litter, and clean. I am currently pursuing my degree at Union College in Schenectady NY. I have classes and work every weekday from 8:30am to 11:35am (12:40 on Tuesdays and Thursdays). I have three cats of my own at home. One is a senior cat and the other two are young and quite high energy so they need a lot of play time. While I not longer have a dog of my own, I spend a lot of time with my boyfriend's yellow labs, playing with and walking them. I would be happy to keep your pet company and keep them active while you are away.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. We have always had multiple at a time. I am very comfortable with all dog types and sizes. Do not mind walking or caring for multiple dogs at once. Also have lived with cats and enjoy being with them as well! My work schedule varies every week. I choose my schedule on a month to month basis. I am out of town sometimes for work. But my schedule can be flexible. I have a fenced in yard and big area to run around and play. Do not mind crating if needed and what you’re comfortable with for your dog.
About: Hi there, I’m Veronica! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and am now hoping to take care of your fur babies! I currently have a medium sized dog and a large sized dog, but have experience with dogs ranging from extra small to extra large. I’m very active and love going for hikes, playing fetch, and running with your energetic pups! I also have experience with and love older dogs who have a harder time getting around. I’m also capable of caring for your reptiles, small animals, birds, fish, and backyard animals (I’ve had all at one point of another). When I’m in your home I play by your rules and will leave it as I found it. I can provide a reference from previous pets I’ve watched if you would like. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently am unemployed other than picking up small odd jobs and gigs on Rover. So looking after your pets and my pets are my top priorities! When I do a drop in visit in your home I’ll be doing exactly what you want me to do. Whether it’s giving exercise, love, or just refilling food and water. I look forward to doing what you need me to do to keep your pet happy while you’re away!
About: I’m a 41 year old professional who loves animals. I have a 4 year old cat of my own and have always wanted a puppy as a child. Animals are loving and calming to me. I help care for them they help me. I will dog walk which keeps them happy and me active. I will drop in on cats and dogs to feed play with and help go to the bathroom. If it’s the right fit for your family and pup I would stay 1 night a week and definitely weekends overnight while people are away or traveling. I am an open communicator, reliable, respectful, trustworthy professional. Please get to know me so I can get to know you and your animal has the best experience possible. I currently have lots of availability and I would be my pleasure to walk and check in for your pups and cats several times a week. I have a yard on a dead end street, a big basement and am very close to Wilcox Park, ready for long walks in great neighborhood with lots to explore.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 11 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. I currently have my own senior dog and have taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.
“Dana was amazing. I had only had my dog for a month and I needed to find a sitter for a week. The meet and greet with Dana went so well I didn't even bother meeting the other sitters. Her home is like paradise for dogs! She has several dogs of her own and also fosters dogs. She has a fenced in yard and a cozy living room, where the dogs can roam freely. While my dog was there, she sent me a message with pictures every day! This was especially appreciated. I highly recommend Dana. I could not have been happier with her service!”
“Carolina was amazing with Mucci!! She communicated well, sent updates and pictures, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He looked relaxed and happy with her and her family and I appreciated how attentive she was to his needs. Thank you again for taking such good care of him. I would definitely book with you again.”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Sharon did an awesome job making sure Cricket was happy and comfortable! Cricket is a senior dog who is blind and challenges with hearing and doing steps so caring for her is a bit of a challenge. Cricket has happy and safe - what more could a dog-mommy want?? Thanks, Sharon!”
“Suzanne and her family were absolutely wonderful with Archie. He suffers from separation anxiety when first meeting new people but Suzanne made sure he felt at home in no time. He got a lot of play time and car rides too! Suzanne sent us photos and provided great updates. When we arrived to collect him he was so happy and relaxed and ran back to her kids to say goodby a couple of times. He was a happy dog and I know he will love to go back. Her location is perfect for our random trips to Uncasville and Rhode Island, and Suzanne will be our "go-to first choice for sitter for any future trips!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! Her and her family made our dog feel so warm and welcome despite being a nervous Nelly around new people. She sent us regular updates and photos, so we always had peace of mind!”
“Lily had such a great time with Sarah and her puppy Benny! I felt very comfortable leaving Lily with Sarah while we were away for 5 days. She was clearly well taken care of. Their backyard is perfect for dogs to be able to play safely. Sarah kept us updated with messages and fabulous pictures of the pups together. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”
“Eugene is an excellent dog sitter! He took my energetic lab on long walks in the forest and beach; she had a great time. Eugene provided updates throughout the weekend and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again.”
“We accidentally booked a no pets hotel once and needed a pet sitter asap and Ansley took our dog in extremely last minute! He was so loved that we took him AND our cat back. Ansley goes above and beyond for our fam and fur babies! We drive out of state now just to take them to her 🥰”
About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy. I’m comfortable using a variety of tools, including harnesses, e-collars, and prong collars, based on what works best for your dog. I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care. Our days include structured walks, enrichment activities, play and yard time, relaxation/place work, and hikes when appropriate. I closely monitor each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I tailor care to their individual needs. With my training background and veterinary experience, I’m able to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping dogs safe, calm, and happy in my home. In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.
“Can not say enough good things about Shauna & Nixley. I was nervous to leave my Roxy for nine days while I was on vacation, but they both made me feel very reassured with multiple updates/pictures. Couldn't be happier with the way she was taken care of and spoiled as if she were home with me :-) I highly recommend and will use again in the future!”
