About: I've taken care of dogs since I was very young. I watched my own dog and her siblings as well as neighbors or friends dogs many times. My dog Maggie actually passed away last year so I have plenty experience with senior dog care and puppies as well. Maggie was a medium-large dog and was 14 when she passed we loved her and made her as comfortable as possible until the end. I've also watched friends and neighbors cats as well so I have experience with both pets! I have class most mornings at 8am so i'm up early and I finish class early! I'm available monday, wed, friday at 1 pm and my Sundays and Tuesdays are free so i'm available all day!!! I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space within the home and a good location for frequent walks! I can crate dogs if needed in your home or stay/watch them while outside, whatever needed.
“Trusting Jewel with our animals and our home was easy from the very beginning. She was so kind, dependable, and easy to work with. She was incredibly compassionate and patient with our aging dog, which meant so much to us. Jewel also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She even vacuumed, which was such a thoughtful extra and truly appreciated. Knowing she cared for our animals and our home as if they were her own gave us such peace of mind. I would highly recommend Jewel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to help with their animals and home. We are so thankful we found her!”
“Amethyst was so attentive to my needs and concerns while I was out of town. Like any cat mom I get nervous to leave my fur baby alone with just anyone but my little guy was in good hands!”
“Shannon is the best! We requested 3 visits a day and she was there like clockwork. Our dog was missing us and not eating very well at first and she took the extra step in encouraging her and got her to eat. Our dog loves her!”
About: Doggie Daycare, Private Boarding, Pet Photography all in a country setting with a huge fenced-in yard! Every dog is treated like our own while staying with us. You provide the food, we provide all the comforts of home. About this sitter: I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart for dogs! In business since 1996 and CPR certified. All dogs must get along with other dogs and be kid friendly.
“Hayley is amazing with our medium hound Marty! Super quick replies to booking requests and very communicative with texts and pictures. She takes such great care or our little guy.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and currently have a very stubborn Siberian Husky! My husky has diabetes so I am familiar with that too. I am able to watch multiple dogs at a time, I have done that for family members many times! I am a very active person who enjoys walks and being active so I would love to meet your dogs! I currently have a part-time job so as long as I am not working at the time needed I would love to meet your dogs! I typically have a very flexible schedule so it shouldn’t interfere much. I have a fenced in back yard and I live near a lot of sidewalks and a park which gives perfect opportunities for nice long walks!
“Mike is highly recommended, went above and beyond when watching our new puppy. Nash had a great time and he tired him out!! Will definitely be using his services again. Thank you, Mike!!!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have raised puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my elder dog, so I’m happy to spend time with yours.

I am available to stay with your pet, and give them exercise and lots of attention needed to keep them happy! I am familiar with picky eaters and administering medication if needed.
“Georgia saved us when we needed a last minute sitter after our previously booked sitter cancelled morning of. She was quick to respond and was able to get to our house with only 1.5 hours notice. It seemed like our puppy had a good time with her and was well cared for during the hour drop in. Definitely will book again!”
About: With over 6 years of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a lifetime of love for animals, having always had dogs and cats of my own. My background as a nanny also includes taking care of two family senior dogs, ensuring their well-being and happiness every day. I also have lots of experience dog/house sitting overnights as I currently do that for a mom who travels and multiple other families. Your pets will always receive the same level of devoted care and attention with me and I have references if needed! With my current job, I make my own schedule which makes it extremely flexible. So, I have a lot of free time during the day and/or night. Most importantly, I will always treat your furry friend like my own. Consistency and routine is important to me when caring for pets, so I will always ensure to stick to your pets routine including potty breaks, feeding/play time and walks! Open communication is also important, so I like to give regular updates including a cute picture and video to give peace of mind while away.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. Working in veterinary medicine has helped me stay calm, attentive and detail-oriented in fast-paced situations, while also teaching me how important patience and compassion are when caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved and stress-free while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my combination of professional animal care experience, reliability, and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. On walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and positive interaction while paying close attention to each dog’s pace and needs. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have 7 years of adult experience, by this I mean actual dog sitting and raising my own pup. However, since I can remember, I have always been comfortable with dogs. I was 9 when my family got our first dog (a boxer!) and since then I always found myself falling into some form of a caretaker role. Of course when you grow up and get your own dog you realize how easy you had it when it was the family dog. By raising and training my own dog, Roo, I have learned more about patience, unconditional love and responsibilities than I thought possible. In college I would dog and house sit for families here and there, usually for weekends at a time so I am comfortable being in YOUR space with your pets for more than just drop ins. Along with being a dog mom, I am a plant mom and will happily care for your plant babies too! Starting on 5/12/25 I’m beginning a new full time job that requires me to be in office (Coventry) M-F 8am - 4:30pm. I will update my schedule frequently to show availability once I switch to a hybrid schedule. On the days I can work from home I will I have the flexibility to be with a dog 24/7. I am an early riser and will gladly do the needful in those scary morning hours. I am a home body and don’t typically go out for long periods of time on the weekends. I will ALWAYS make sure there is water for the dog and I fully understand adhering to strict eating rules and schedules. My own dog has a super sensitive stomach, so I will take all food instructions with the utmost seriousness. I’m not the spoil-my-child-rotten type, however, my dog is allowed on all furniture (outside of tick season) and is given at least 3 sessions of fetch or a walk daily. I will respect your home rules even if they differ from my own.
About: Hi there! I’ve had both dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is truly something I love. Whether it’s tossing a ball at the park or just hanging out for some cuddle time, I always make sure pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. This my full time job so you pets are my priority. I will make sure they don't feel lonely, get plenty of attention, walks, and of course treats. I am a military veteran and am trustworthy, honest, and punctual! I will always be there if I say i will. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

Paloma was available on short notice for an evening drop-in visit and even called ahead to ensure proper care instructions were followed. She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!

We had such a great experience with Madalyn! She was reliable, punctual, and very communicative throughout the entire weekend while caring for our dog, Chase.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Kingston choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
