“Jordan is very sweet and communicative. She has a great, calm energy and we knew immediately she would take great care of our dog. We really appreciated her updates about how he was doing and the funny pictures she sent of him getting on with the other dogs. Jordan even accepted us at the last minute when our previous boarder fell through. House is easy to find and in a good neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! Our little furrie friend had a wonderful time and loved his daily walks. Lots of correspondence and pics from Christina to keep us in the know. Could not ask for more ...”
“Yunshu took great care of our pup and would 100% recommend. She sent lots of picture and video updates ensuring us that Butter was settled and being loved on. Intend to rebook at the next opportunity.”
“Sarah and her family are super-sitters! She was flexible, accomodating, and most importantly made Leia feel like a member of their family. Our pooch really loved spending quality time at Sarah’s home and with other doggie guests. We will certainly book with Sarah again; and also refer her to friends who stay in RI. Overall, this was a great experience from initial communications through the entire week stay. Thank you so much Sarah and family for being so inviting and hospitable to Leia and our family.”
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.
“Dana and Mathieu were amazing hosts and took excellent care of Vincent! He had so much fun playing with Daisy and Hazard that he wanted us to stay when we went to pick him up. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and will hope they are available next time we are in the area. Thank you for the pictures and videos, it was reassuring to see Vincent so happy and at ease while we were apart.”
About: We have been together for more than 5 years and share our home with beloved pets. Growing up, Dirk was a vet tech, and his mother, a veterinarian, raised over 15 animals. Mari grew up with a sweet Yorkie. Thanks to our backgrounds, we have extensive experience with pets. To us, pets are more than just animals—they are our children. We will always treat your furry family members with the exact same love and respect that we show our own. While we are currently experiencing an empty nest and missing that daily companionship, we would love the opportunity to care for your pets, meet your needs, and share our love. Please let us know if you are interested, as we would absolutely love to help! Our family is ready to welcome your pet! Dirk is a student at the Naval War College with a very flexible schedule. Our 15-year-old son is in high school and always up for an adventure, while Mari is a stay-at-home mom from Japan who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Because we all love animals, pet care will be a true family team effort! Dirk loves to give plenty of affection, but he is also happy to play rough-and-tumble if your dog prefers active play. Our home features a fully enclosed, 1/3-acre backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. We also have access to great nearby walking areas for pets who love to get out and explore. Our family can easily adapt to various activity levels, personalities, and daily routines.
“Armitage took great care of my 2 dogs for a week. We got photos everyday and plenty of updates that they were doing well. Armitage also washed our dog’s beds before we picked them up, which was not expected! I felt very confident they were in good hands while we were away!”
“I received so many updates and pictures of my dog. I knew she was getting the best care while we were out of town. Will definitely use again!!! We had a very happy puppy!! Thank you!”
“On Thursday the 14th I took my 7 mo old Westie Max to Brian’s for day care! He had the very best day playing with the other dogs, when I picked him up I could see by his face and fur he definitely played hard. I plan on sending him again and know that Max will love boarding with Brian for a future upcoming week .”
“Anne has been amazing! This was our second time having Piko stay with her, and we couldn’t be happier. She sends us pictures and updates every day, which gives us so much peace of mind. She’s also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and is incredibly sweet and accommodating. Most importantly, Piko absolutely is comfortable staying with her! I completely trust Anne with Piko and feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Celina took good care of Ollie. When we picked her up she was happy to see us but was in no hurry to leave Celena. We will consider Celena next time we need a dog sitter”
“Rafael took amazing care of our dog, Zelda. She is a very shy and fearful dog, and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter. He was incredibly patient with her and helped her build trust and feel safe during her stay. He also helped her become more comfortable around other dogs, which meant a lot to us. Rafael was always quick to respond, speaks both English and Spanish, and kept us updated with beautiful photos throughout Zelda's stay. He was kind, enthusiastic, respectful, and very understanding. What we appreciated the most was that he accepted our last-minute booking, which helped us so much. We are extremely happy with the care Zelda received and will definitely book with Rafael again for both boarding and daycare. We highly recommend him!”
“Eve was great! She and her family clearly care about the pets they sit. I received photos and updates daily about how Coco was doing and it was obvious she felt welcome and at home. Eve was flexible and accommodating about pick-up and drop-off times and made the entire process a breeze. Will definitely trust her with Coco again. Thanks Eve!”
“What a terrific person! Can’t say enough nice things. And so good with our dog edna. Stephanie You’re the best. Thank you and happy holidays. Give our best to Bailey and Lupita!”
“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”

10/10!! This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than family and by the end of our trip, Karen and Chris felt like family! We are so grateful for finding them through Rover. We looked forward to every message/update Karen sent (many times a day), simply the best! It was nice to get away for a couple nights and know our four-legged child was in great care. Thank you!!

95% of sitters in Wakefield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wakefield home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wakefield.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Wakefield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
