“Jessica was a wonderful host to Dixie! We could tell Dixie was very well taken care of, loved, fed, and comfortable. She didn’t even know we left her! Jessica was very reliable and easy to communicate. Definitely recommend!”
“My terrier seemed to have had a great time with Karissa, her 2 dogs and her family. We typically have family members take care of our pup but we felt totally comfortable leaving her in such good hands. I would not hesitate to use her services again if need be. Thanks so much.”
“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.”
“Repeat client here! We love how communicative Yunshu is! We got so many videos and pictures while we were away, which was great. She goes the extra mile and brushes our dog, cuddles her, and keeps her calm during thunderstorms. We feel lucky to have found her for our dog.”
“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!!”
“Archie had a great time with Suzanne and helpers! He was happy to se us but was sad to have today goodbye for now. We will continue to come to Suzanne as long as she continues to be there for us. She’s the best snd Archie gives her and kids a BIG HIGH FIVE!🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“Steven was great, taking on a last minute reservation for my dog when my friend who was going to stay with her fell and hurt herself. It was reassuring to me that Brooke was with a nice and caring family while I was away. I will definitely contact Steven again!”
“Natalia and her husband provided excellent care for Gigi! They were so kind, and provided lots of updates and pictures, which we loved! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Gigi stay with them again (and Archie, of course!!). Thank you so much!! Look forward to seeing 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!”
“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!”
“Erica and Tom were great, from the moment we dropped off our dog to picking him up. Charlie felt right at home as he was treated like on of their own. They even accommodated bringing Charlie all the way to our wedding just so we could get photographs with him after the ceremony. Great communication and would definitely use again.”
“Cherylee and Steven are really amazing! They took great care of my pet, Benben. Every day, they sent me pictures of Benben, so I knew he was happy and safe. Benben felt very comfortable with them, like he was at home. I am very thankful for their help. I will book with them again next time for sure!”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. She made him very comfortable. She was communicated throughout the whole stay. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures. I would definitely be using her service again!”
“Kerrie was phenomenal! She was so easy to coordinate with and sent frequent updates and pictures. Best of all, my pup loooooved her. He came home totally pooped after a weekend full of fun activities and attention.”
“Took my reservation with very little notice. Contacted me every day to let me know how my dog was doing and sent pics. Will be using Boa's services again and would highly recommend!!”
About: We share a deep love for animals and welcome them into our hearts. Dirk has spent his entire life surrounded by dogs and cats. Growing up, he was a vet tech, and his mother, a retired 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. Having recently said goodbye to our own beloved cat and our dear dog (a Husky/Pitbull mix), we know exactly how precious your furry babies are to you. We are currently experiencing an empty nest and missing that daily companionship so much, which means your pets will receive our absolute full attention, love, and cuddles. We will always treat your furry family members with the exact same love and respect that we show our own. 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, while Mari is a stay-at-home mom from Japan who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Because we both love animals, pet care will be a true team effort—our high school son is also ready to pitch in and help! We love to provide plenty of affection, but we are also happy to engage in active, rough-and-tumble play if your dog prefers a more high-energy routine. Our home is located in a newly developed, quiet neighborhood with a fully enclosed, decent-sized backyard. Since we currently have no pets or small children, our place can serve as a peaceful sanctuary for older or sensitive dogs who prefer a calm, stress-free environment. At the same time, our spacious yard is perfect for high-energy dogs who love to run and play. We also have access to great nearby walking areas for pets who love to get out and explore. Whether your dog prefers lounging inside or staying active all day, our family can easily adapt to their unique personality, activity level, and daily routine.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Wood River Junction 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 Wood River Junction home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Wood River Junction.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wood River Junction. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Wood River Junction 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. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
