House Sitting Blackstone

“We came home to happy, healthy dogs. Michelle was flexible about difficulties we had with travel from the huge storm that blew in just before Christmas which was really helpful.”

Mark A.

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of our dogs when we were traveling and working this past week. She gave consistent updates with pictures and we came home to happy dogs.”

Melanie W.

“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”

Cristen S.

“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Beyond pet sitting, I’ve worked at an SPCA and at a zoo, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for a wide variety of animals. I also study animals professionally, so understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood is something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m a graduate student with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m generally available for dog walks in the mornings and evenings, and I have flexibility during the day depending on my class and research schedule. I’m also available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! I live on the top floor of a house with plenty of space for pets to relax and a small yard for some outdoor time. I also have a very friendly cat who loves dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a multi-animal home.

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was young. Most recently helped train my family German Shepherd puppy from 10 weeks! I also have experience caring for my dog when she went through a major hip replacement surgery, which required much more intensive care over the course of a few months. Do not currently have any pets (my pup is back home), but have helped take care of both dogs and cats. I am staying in the Brown University area over the summer and will be conducting research as a Master's student. My schedule is very flexible as I mostly work on a laptop. However, there will be days I have to work around experiments, so feel free to inquire! I won't be able to host your pet (sadly), but I am more than willing to visit or walk as needed! I always starts with asking: 1. Any essential things about the pet I need to know (medication, allergies, etc.) 2. Any essential things about the house? (places to keep them out of, toys, beds, where they like to hang out) 3. Food, drink, and potty schedule + locations for each. 4. Anything else you want me to be aware of? (No shoes in the house, stay out of certain rooms, don't let mud get tracked around, etc.) 5. In case there's a mess, how should I clean up? (paper towels, pads, trash bags, etc.) I always want to respect both your house and your little friend so please give me as much detail as possible!

“Nadia was super nice and mindful with max’s needs. She and her entire family took care of max during Christmas and made him feel welcome (he has separation anxiety). She sent me constant updates with pictures and videos and even asked for detailed instructions before dropping max. I will definitely book Nadia for max in the future. She’s the best dog sitter.”

“Elena was great! Easy to communicate with, detail-oriented, took photos (which I always appreciate!) came through in a pinch when my travels were unexpectedly extended. Thank you Elena!”

Christine D.

“Cailey was super communicative, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions when needed. She provided great updates throughout, and my dog seemed genuinely happy in her care. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter, and I would absolutely book her again.”

Nunu F.

“This was our first time using Rover and Rebecca was absolutely amazing!!! We felt so relieved and relaxed knowing Chara was in such great hands for our entire time away! We would love to leave our boy with her again!!”

Brandy D.

“Julia was the best! We were nervous about leaving a 12 week old puppy home alone - especially as we are in the early stages of potty and crate training but she was amazing. She took such great care of him and kept us posted on how he was doing with all his training. She was so flexible and willing to help us even though we probably had her get up way earlier than she wanted and she had an extended stay because of our bizarre hours. We cannot wait to use her consistently. Scout had a blast!”

Katherine M.

“Tatiana engaged with JoJo, was gentle and caring, and kept us advised about how he was doing. When we returned, he was very comfortable with her. We will certainly ask her to stay with him again.”

About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.

“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”

Carin A.

“Jennifer was great. We had a last-minute cancellation by another dog sitter, and were worried about finding someone. Jennifer was fast to reply, very communicative, and most importantly took great care of Crosby over the Thanksgiving holiday break. We will definitely ask her to watch him again!”

Elizabeth B.

“Katie was great! She took good care of Koda while I was out of town and everything went smoothly. She was easy to communicate with and sent a few pictures and updates throughout my trip, which I appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”

Richard J.

“Jada was very responsive, she took great care of my dogs that can be a handful, sent me daily updates and pictures. Highly recommended. Thanks Jada.”

Heather L.

“Liana was an absolutely exceptional sitter! My cat warmed up to her immediately, and she sent lots of lovely photo updates throughout the 6 day stay. Couldn't recommend Liana highly enough!”

Laura F.

“Zoe took great care of our pets, followed their care instructions, sent plenty of photos, and left the house in good shape too. We know our dog and cats enjoyed being under her care and were happy & healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without pets. I worked at a veterinary clinic in high school, where I gained hands-on experience with basic animal care, handling, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention. For the past 8 years, I’ve consistently pet sat for friends, family, and clients, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I’ve always had pets growing up, so being attentive, patient, and tuned in to animals’ routines comes naturally to me. I treat every pet I care for like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m a PhD student at Brown University- so I teach and take classes, but my schedule is pretty flexible as I’m only on campus during a class or for office hours. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and care instructions closely, and I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly if anything seems off. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water bowls, clean up after walks or litter boxes, and ensure your pet’s environment stays safe and calm. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel at ease, knowing your pet is well cared for in their own space.
