“Kelly was amazing! She was so attentive to every detail, and the check-ins make me not worry in the slightest while I was away. From a detailed description of each visit to the many photos of my cat Loki, it was clear that Loki was getting the very best care possible. What made it even better is that my cat Loki clearly loved Kelly as well! (I was so worried he'd just spend the whole time hiding, lol.) I can't thank you enough, Kelly, and will definitely request you first next time!”

“Wonderful! Communicative, timely, knows what she's doing, friendly, goes above and beyond, and sends excellent photos of your furry friend! Took excellent care of my guy Chauncey, will definitely hire her again in future.”

“Sue was fantastic! Our dog Bailey, and two cats felt very comfortable with her. She even sent pictures! Excellent critter sitter! Looking forward to having her back again and would highly recommend her to others. Thanks Sue ???”


About: I have grown up with animals and take care of them my whole life. I absolutely love cats and dogs and am currently in university studying to go to veterinary school. I have worked with all kinds of dogs from the most reactive to the most laid so I feel prepared for any situation. I am able to take pets on long walks or runs or just be with them while parents are away! I am currently working 5 days a week but am done by 4:00 everyday giving me plenty of time to work with your pets! I can walk/run with them and stay overnight any day of the week! I am very flexible so whatever you need I can most likely do! I have lots of experience with pets so I will always be sure to take them out and walk them or get them engaged in an activity. I know how to administer many medications both oral and injections so there is no need to worry about your pets health while I am taking care of them!
“Jackie is wonderful. We’ve just started with her and she is wonderful. Our dog has anxiety issues and she is very patient with her. She sends great feedback and pictures and communicates promptly.”

“Lily took very good care of our very active black lab, Poppy. She was flexible, very responsive and gave us several updates a day and cute pics of their activities. Highly recommend!”

“Alyne has been a huge help with our pup on a weekly basis this summer. She’s always arrived when she said she would, and provides a complete report card at the end of her visit. I can tell by the pictures that our pup loves her visits! For a few weeks our lab was on restricted activity which she handled very well (a hard task with an energetic lab). Great communication as well. Highly recommend!”

About: I am entering my senior year at the University of Rhode Island, earning a degree in animal science, specializing in zoo and aquarium animal science with a focus on behavior and training. The classes I have taken at the university focus on animal biology, care, management, and behavior. I have had many animal care experiences ranging from cats and dogs, aquatic species at the Mystic Aquarium, and most recently caring for a geriatric elephant (so large dogs don’t scare me :))! Throughout my life I have had many pets from cats and dogs, to small mammals and reptiles. I have also had some experience training various animals, such as cats, chickens, bears and elephants! I have the basic skills to train using operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. I am working a part time summer job at a restaurant mostly working at night. I am available to do drop in visits throughout the day. I will not be able to take your pets into my home because I have pets of my own. Safety is my number one priority for myself and your pets and am willing to work through any challenges your pet may face!
“Sabrina was great!! We needed her in a pinch when our regular am Rover sitter broke her ankle. She was prompt, communicated well with me with questions, and worked well with my pet.”

About: I have cared for pets my whole life and frequently care for friend’s pets when needed. I have a home in Yarmouth, work remotely full time and always open to caring for pets in their own home if preferred. I have an amazing cat of my own that loves other animals. I also have a 16 year old daughter that has helped raise dogs & cats since she was a baby. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your fur baby! I currently have a work from home schedule, Monday through Friday with flexible availability for pet care in between. I own my home in Yarmouth. I have a very big yard with a runner for pups that enjoy being outside. I have the ability to keep kitties indoors if preferred. Plenty of space in my home to care for pets.
“I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Loki is my best friend and she took care of him as I would. She listened and responded quickly to last minute changes. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving him. I don’t now”

“Sharon was great! Our dogs were happy and safe when we got home. We were super grateful that she could accommodate our timing and for giving us local guidance on travel times. Sharon clearly loves dogs and is a true find!”
