“Buddy had a blast. I enjoyed pictures from Dorota all day while I was gone. He came home healthy and happy. Definitely will be back for more play time!”


“Anely is just lovely and our pup had a blast at her house. He was so happy to go back for a second visit and I was able to enjoy my time in providence without a worry. She sent many photos and I knew he was very well tended.”


“Sheryl was super kind, sweet, reliable and responsible. She started off with a meet and great, which was great because I was able to see where Kobe would be staying and releasing himself. Her fence is closed in and protected. Funny enough, during the meet and greet, another neighbor dog was left unattended and Sheryl made sure that dog was back home safe. I think it was a way of showing her love for animals and knowing they will be in safe hands. ❤️ Thank you for your flexibility. As a first responder, our job is unpredictable with even more unpredictable hours and Sheryl was very accommodating to the late call I received when it was getting closer to pick up time and arraigning alternative pick up with a family member. I recommend her to anyone!”


“Elba is wonderful and Sonny loved spending time with her. He loved running around her yard and made friends quickly with her. She is very responsive and wonderful at communication, she is experienced and knowledgeable. I recommend her 100%!”


“Sonia is absolutely fantastic! My dog Isla had an amazing time and was so happy and tired when we picked her up. We'll definitely keep rebooking going forward! Having just adopted my dog ~6 months ago, this is the first time we've left her with anyone other than family and I have to say I was SO comfortable and happy knowing that she was in great care. Sonia sent pictures almost immediately to let us know Isla was settling in and more to follow up during the day. Highly, highly recommend Sonia-- wonderful experience knowing that my dog was in the best possible hands!”


“Joseph was exceptional. I needed to find a caring, reliable day care situation for my dog overnight as my work schedule had shifted drastically. Within less than an hour of contacting him, Joseph and I were on the phone figuring out if Stevie would be a good fit. He was understanding and reassuring, and I felt great about taking her to his home the next day. His family was so kind to her, and she clearly had a blast as she was out like a light as soon as we were in the car. Joseph is a ridiculously lucky find, let alone in stressful last minute circumstances. Will definitely be booking with him again!”



About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies who still live with my parents at the ripe old age of 14 (still pups to me though). I helped to care for a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I also looked after dogs in my old neighborhood, walking and running in the park, and even learning patience from various adorable, but menacing, puppies. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.

“Oxana is amazing! She was available to keep whiskey at a last minute call, and she was super nice, sent me photos and updated me every few hours. Definitely gonna see her again!”

“Sarah is awesome as always. My pup has stayed with her multiple times and she always makes sure my pup is very comfortable and gets all the cuddles. She always gives me updates and send me pictures and videos. Will definitely recommend her.”


“Jack is an exceptional dog care sitter who truly goes above and beyond. His accommodating nature -- of me, the dog mom with a hectic unpredictable schedule -- and my puppy has been a lifesaver and breath of fresh air. It shows he has a genuine love for dogs and it shines through in every interaction as he's taken him for many jogs and made food for him when I forgot to bring. He is natural expert and skilled at making both pets and owners feel at ease. With Jack, you can trust that your pup will receive top-notch care and plenty of affection!”


“eliza is the best! She is so attentive, caring and professional. She also sent back photos and I can tell my dog enjoyed every second with her! I had a last minute book for puppy day care and she replied very quickly. I would not hesitate to book her again!”


About: I adopted my first dog, Chilli, in 2001. Since then, I’ve had the joy of rescuing and raising Ruby, Beatrice, and Porkchop. These days, our dog Lucy shares our home, and we both love welcoming new friends for visits! We have a fully fenced backyard, plenty of space for playing, napping, and cuddling, and we’re located in a great neighborhood for long, leisurely walks. I also enjoy taking photos and am happy to send you updates as often (or as little) as you’d like. Schedule a meet-and-greet with Lucy and me—we can’t wait to meet you! On the days I work from home and on weekends, we would love to have a dog-friend join us for the day, or for an overnight. If we’re somewhat neighbors, I am also available for walks over the weekend and possibly on weeknight(s). I have a fenced-in yard, home security, smoke and CO alarm. I do not crate our dog Lucy, but if you need me to do so for your dog, consider it done! I walk her in her harness around safe neighborhoods like Oak Hill in Pawtucket and on the East Side of Providence. I refrain from dog parks because I feel she is more comfortable with one on one play, but if there is a certain park you'd like me to take your dog to, I'd be happy to.
