House Sitting in Ashaway

“Julianne took care of my young and energetic, but shy husky-shepherd mix. I was nervous leaving Gia for the first time but she warmed up very quickly and ended up having a blast with Julianne over the weekend. Julianne kept in touch throughout her stay and sent me several pictures. I wasn’t worried for a second knowing she was happy, comfortable and well taken care of. When I returned, the house was exactly as I’d left it. I am already booking a second sitting with Julianne for my upcoming vacation in April! Thank you!!”

“Andrea was a great sitter. She was communicative and followed our many instructions for our two senior dogs. I'll certainly have her sit again.”

About: I was born with a love for animals of all kinds. I have cared for my own starting with cats since I was young. I then helped care for horses as a young girl into my teens then later in my 40’s. My real love for dogs came when we rescued our first pup from save a dog in 2002 when she was 8 weeks old. I never went anywhere without her. She was in our wedding. We rescued her sister 3 yrs later a yellow lab mix who was just a fun goody good girl. They loved our babies we had and chickens as we introduced them they became great friends. Then they welcomed our little Shiba Inu, Thor with open arms who is the sweetest boy ever, now 4. I have always been the go to person for friends and friends of friends, and family to watch their beloved pets when needed. I love spending any time I can with all kinds of animals. I am happiest when I get to walk the dogs, take them swimming, for a car ride or just playing in the yard. My dogs have always come first and I don’t ever really go anywhere unless they can come too. Our two girl dogs lived to be 16 3/4 and it broke all our hearts when it came time to say good bye. We recently said goodbye to our last oldest dog and I keep having dogs over to play with our young pup to cheer him up and it’s helped immensely! I would love to open up my time to help care for others pets who don’t like leaving theirs home either. I work at home, I am a photographer and we don’t travel much. My husband also works from home and my two girls are 15 and 12 and are all just as much animal lovers as myself. Hard to beat though. We are very flexible for scheduling. I have high gates at our doors and a big fenced yard with gates in the front. We plan to put a smaller fenced area out back with a 6ft fence. I have a 4.5 yr old 40lb male Shiba Inu who just loves a good game of catch me if you can with other dogs. He is the sweetest sharer, very empathetic and is use to older/Sr and well behaved dogs. I am have a lower finished walk out family level where I work that if needed could keep your dog separate too. I don’t mind bathing your dog either if they don’t mind it and it’s needed.

“Carol and Tony are such a sweet couple! I love that I get two sitters for the price of one. They were professional and caring towards my energetic pups. I will definitely be calling on them again.”

“Kiera took great care of our golden retriever! She was reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive. It was so nice to get regular updates and photos. My dog warmed up instantly to Kiera and was relaxed and happy when I returned. The house was also left spotless and well cared for.”

“Rebecca is great! We would absolutely reccomend her as a sitter for your dogs or cats! She sent tons of pictures, updates, and chatted about any concerns she had. Probably the most trustworthy sitter we've had in a very long time!”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our 5 pets! They require some specialized care and she had no trouble doing everything we asked of her! She was also just super nice, left the house clean, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

“I could not say more good things about Anna! I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time but she made me feel so comfortable and reassured. My dog was so happy and tired when I got home! She took great care of him and took him for many hikes. I will use her for any trip I go on! Thank you Anna! :-)”

“Palma was a wonderful sitter for our Scottie, Pepper! Pepper immediately befriended Palma when she came to meet us, and we could tell Palma was enjoying playing with Pepper. We felt very comfortable leaving Pepper in her hands. While we were away, Palma was very communicative and sent photos of Pepper for us (which I love because I always miss her). She left our house in pristine condition! I highly recommend Palma.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for years, from high-energy pups to laid-back seniors and everything in between. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even small animals. I’m used to working in high-trust environments where safety, communication, and routine are key. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I make sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re my own. As a full-time pet care specialist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whether you need regular care or last-minute help, I work to fit your pet’s needs into my day. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. I treat your space with the same respect I give my own, keeping everything clean and secure. I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe in their familiar environment, and I provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise so they’re happy while you’re away. My goal is for you to come home to a relaxed pet and a kept up home.

About: From a very young age, I helped my family take care of our family dogs. As an adult, I have one dog and two cats in my family. I love playing with them, taking my dog for walks, and making sure that they have enriched, happy lives. I have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their pets while they are away. I know how hard it can be to be away from our pets and would love to help take care of your animals! I work during the day on weekdays during the school year. During school breaks, I have more availability. I am available for drop-in visits in the afternoons or evenings, or more flexibly on weekends. I'm happy to work around your schedule as much as possible. I love going for long walks, so your pup will get lots of exercise on a walk with me. I understand that not all animals are immediately comfortable around new people, so I will let your pet take the lead when engaging with me.

“Amy is amazing! She gave our pets the best care, loving them and giving the dogs a nice long walk every visit. She sent updates and fun pics every day. Right when you meet Amy you can see how attentive and sweet she will be with your pets. We truly enjoyed our vacation because of Amy’s love and care for our babies at home!!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3”

“Terry was great - very communicative and provided plenty of updates and photos while we were away. She is very thorough in making sure the situation is a good fit before booking and verifying that she has all the information needed to care for your pet. Our dog looked like she was having a great time, and we returned to a clean house and a happy dog. :) Highly recommended and would definitely book again.”

Emily S.

“This was our first experience with Rover and Caitlyn did a fantastic job. She took care of all our dog’s needs and communicated throughout her stay. We will definitely ask her to watch our dog in the future.”
