“Even with the winter weather making things difficult, Bri made it and took great care of our dog Moxie and made sure he had plenty of exercise and attention. She also took great photos!”

“Ben took so many pictures of my cat when I was missing her, and he was very professional. My cat felt very comfortable with him during the drop in visit. I will definitely use his services in the future”

About: I’ve had a family dog for the past ten years (a b+w cockatoo named Oreo) and now I am in grad school without him. I am a student so I have flexible hours to walk and spend time with your pets! I am a student so I have flexible weekday and weekend hours to take care of your pets. I am a runner, so I enjoy spending time outside and navigating to nearby places. I am careful to keep my clients pet and home safe and secure. I understand that trust is a high priority in our working relationship.
About: I've grown up with dogs and have helped my family with various responsibilities (walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up poop). I have spent hours training our current dog Korra by reliably working with her on commands and behavior. I have dog watched for my neighbors - checking in, feeding, and playing with their dogs 3-4 times a day. I have experience as a dog walker and puppy socializer at the Central Dakota Humane Society. I'm currently a full-time student at Brown, but I'll have plenty of time to play with, walk, and care for your pets! I will be available weekends after 10am and most weekdays after 3:30pm (my schedule is still being finalized). When I care for dogs, my first priority is to always make sure they are safe and their needs are being met. I am an animal-lover, so I enjoy having fun with your pets and creating a trusting relationship with you and them.
“So happy Emily was able to take care of our cat. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and we got timely responses when we had follow up questions/ needs. Lots of great pictures which put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond. We'd highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house. I pet sit for neighbors when they go out of town and for friends when they need help! My own dog has a lot of medications so I understand how important your animal is to you. I am a local university student and I have some extra time in my days! I can do drop ins, overnights, or walks whenever needed! I have been to training with my own dogs so I know how to use a leash properly. I am able to crate dogs if needed.
About: Hi! My name is Jayden. I’m a 21 year old student living in Providence looking for some work in pet sitting! My hometown is Guilford, CT and I am there sometimes as well! I’ve had animals (dogs and cats) my entire life, done pet sitting for friends and neighbors, and have volunteered in shelters. I have my own cat (Callie) and I’m a self-proclaimed crazy cat person. Ask any of my friends about me and they’ll likely tell you that I’m the biggest animal lover they know. I promise you I’ll take the best care of your dog or cat and give them so much love while you’re gone. I’m a student and work a part-time job so I’m pretty flexible! Just let me know the times and days you would need in advance and I can work my schedule around it :) I will follow any instructions you give me to care for your pet. Right now, I’m not in a space where I can have pets in my home, but I will come to yours!
“Maryann was excellent, I would absolutely recommend her and rebook her again for my pet. I loved her updates and felt very reassured that my cat was being looked after so well!”

“Maya was fantastic! Not only was she available super last minute, she and Buster got it off immediately! (our little guy is really intuitive and loved her the moment he saw her)! Maya put us at ease and made our time away from Buster much more at ease. She's very sweet, professional and genuine. Would definitely book with her, again and absolutely recommend her for your fur babies!”

“Sam made leaving for a few days comfortable and easy. We initially connected via video call to explain accessing the apartment and where all of Alder’s things (toys, devices, food) were… the reports had plenty of cute pictures… I felt total confidence in and comfort with Sam. And Alder seemed happy!”

About: Our family always had dogs growing up - a white german shepherd, then a border collie, and now I have a Maine Coon and Golden Retriever puppy of my own. I am an overall animal lover and incredibly responsible human. I'd be delighted to run, play, and cuddle with your pet; AND I am also experienced in administering oral and subcutaneous medication. I know what it is like to return home to a mess from your pet, so I am also happy to tidy up after your pets should the need ever arise! I promise your pet will be in great care. As a pet owner myself, I know that no one can love your pet as much as you do, but I will sure try! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur family! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Liana is amazing! They help me out with a last minute situation, going to check on my pup and walk and feed him for me. My pup love her, and she takes amazing care of it. Thank you so much!”

“We are new to the area and we’re anxious about getting a new cat sitter for our two very shy cats. We are very happy to have found Aidan and will definitely book again! They were very responsive and did a great job making sure our cats were taken care of while we were away.”

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”
