Pet Boarding Cumberland

About: Hi, I’m Marilyn! I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, starting with my neighbors' cats and expanding to dogs as I gained experience. Medication & Special Care Experience With years of pet ownership, I am very comfortable managing special health needs. I am experienced in administering: Oral Medications (I’m a pro at using pill pockets, cheese, or whatever trick your pet prefers!) Topical Treatments Ear Drops Meet My Pack: We are a pet-loving household! When you book with me, your pet will be sharing space with my sweet fur-family. My French Bulldog: He is an 8-year-old Frenchie who is incredibly laid-back and absolutely wonderful with kids and other animals. My Cat- Nemo is well-adjusted to a busy, animal-friendly home. Home Environment & Boarding Accommodations I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as they do in their own home. My house is fully equipped for secure, happy stays: Fenced-In Yard: Perfect for safe, supervised playtime and quick potty breaks. Finished Basement with Baby Gates: I have a spacious, finished basement that is perfect for giving pets their own dedicated zone. If your pet isn't fully comfortable around cats, I can easily keep them separated using baby gates. Crate-Friendly: If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate or is crated for safety when unsupervised, I am happy to utilize a crate according to your exact preferences. Whether your pet needs active playtime in the yard, quiet companionship or precise medication schedules, I am here to treat them like a member of my own family. I can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! As a stay-at-home mom and part-time kstudent, nurturing and safety are second nature to me. My classes only take up 2 days of my week, leaving me with wide-open availability to care for your pet the rest of the time. Because I am home so much, I can cater to all of their needs—from high-energy play sessions to specialized care routines. You can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in attentive, loving hands! My goal is to provide a "home away from home" that mirrors the safety and structure they have at your house. Home & Environment: Secure Yard: Large, fenced-in area for supervised outdoor time. Hydration: Constant access to filtered, fresh water. Socialization: My two young sons, our friendly 8-year-old Frenchie, our 1 year old rescue pup and cat make for a social environment, but we can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space. Crate Ready: I can utilize your pup’s crate for sleeping or breaks to maintain their existing training and comfort. My Promise: I am highly detail-oriented and will follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and behavior to the letter. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my primary concerns.

About: Hello there, I am an experienced pet sitter located in North Providence. I have my own home with a lovely yard, I'm retired, so I'm home the majority of the day so your pup will not be left alone for more than a few minutes if at all. I provide a caring, calm, safe environment to care for your special friend. Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life, and I have been sitting other peoples pets professionally for about 4 years now. I adore all kinds of dogs & animals in general and very much enjoy caring for peoples pets. Being retired allows me to have the time to dedicate myself to providing all the love & attention your furry family member deserves. I am very comfortable sitting all types of dogs, all ages & breeds are welcome. You may relax & rest assured that your loved ones needs are being met by a true animal lover with many years of experience as a dog owner and pet sitter & caregiver. My home is hardwood, some tile in the kitchen, and is always cleaned & pup proofed. I have plenty of space for your pup to romp and a beautiful yard to walk them in, with trails & parks nearby. I provide solo accommodations if your dog prefers being being the center or attention, and also take multiple dogs if they are from the same household. If you have any questions please contact me, I look forward to meeting you & your special friend soon! I began pet sitting after I retired, I am home 95% of the day, so your pet will be not be left unsupervised for more than a few minutes at the most. I am very loving, laid back, affectionate, & patient with the pets I take care of. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, we do our walks back there as well as spend time in my outdoor pen area when the weather is nice. When we are outdoors the pups are always on their leashes, and we avoid the main road just to be extra safe. I have an adorable 3 year old female Maltipoo named Ellie. She is as sweet as can be and loves to make new friends. When your pup comes to stay they are welcome to explore the entire house, it is safe and completely puppy proofed. They are allowed to snuggle on the couch, or wherever they are comfortable. I have plenty of beds, blankets, toys, & treats. We go for walks every two hours for tinkle breaks, and I like to take the dogs on a nice long walk in the mornings after breakfast and again after dinner. My little Ellie the Maltipoo loves to play, however is only 9 lbs so she is very gentle, she loves to make friends. I am comfortable administering medication or supplements if necessary, I have experience working with elderly dogs, and dogs on different medications as well. I am comfortable with dogs with health issues such as allergies, diabetes, and I am certified in pet first aid & CPR. I am comfortable with all age ranges, from puppy to elderly. I work with a few of both and they are equally adorable. If your dog has a special routine at home that you would like followed, such as crating, no furniture, special diets such as home cooked food. During mealtimes I separate Ellie & whomever is staying or with us for daycare. I have gates so that each dog can eat comfortably as well as preventing them from eating one anothers food. There is a beautiful trail nearby, with your permission the dogs do enjoy a nice stroll, and I take my dog quite often. Its a very mellow environment here, the dogs seem to enjoy coming & we have a lot of fun.

“Karen took excellent care of our Shih Tzu Chloe for a week. We can tell when Chloe had a good time because she settles right back in at home and this was absolutely the case. She also took Chloe very last minute when we realized we had to head out of town. Thank you so much for a great stay, Karen!”

“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”

About: Having had dogs of my own throughout my life, I know how much our pets truly become part of the family. I am excited to care for and love a dog while giving them the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I'll treat your dog like they’re one of our own! I am happy to follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of cuddles and belly rubs, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Working from home provides plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time! I can easily take them out for regular bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime, while also giving them lots of love and cuddles throughout the day. I love having a furry companion around while I work! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Since I work from home, I’m able to give your pet plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

“We trust shes in good hands with Xavier. He sends us pictures and updates and she's happy as ever when we drop her off (she usually is not very excited by humans, but is excited when she sees Xavier).”

About: Working from home and embracing my love of animals has been a dream come true! I have taken care of many pets through Rover, as well as animals who have belonged to family members and friends for over 9 years now. I recently bought a new home and changed locations from my co-owner prompting a new account. Through rover I have cared for a variety of pets with anxieties of every shape and form so please do not hesitate to reach out and see if i can accompany your family’s needs. In my home your pets will experience a lot of hands on time as well as daily adventures around the grassy neighborhood and sometimes to Lincoln woods(weather permitting). My yard is entirely fenced in with hedges obstructing view of the neighbors yards giving the dogs a private sanctuary to relax. You may contact me whenever to schedule a meet and greet. If you see me available to book then feel free to shoot a message as i regularly update my availability. I have never met a dog we did not like or has not loved me with time. I am also very respectful of your house rules especially those regarding your pet(s) such as what they can eat, be on, play with, etc.. i also take a plethora of pictures/videos for you to make sure you have a worry-free time away! I work from home giving me ample time to take care of pets daily. Generally speaking I am home most days playing with the dogs, watching tv, or gaming. The dogs are rarely alone. i am almost always hanging out with the dogs ready to give care and love. If they are not lounging with me then they are exploring the neighborhood or yard. I cannot think of a single dog with anxiety that hasn’t felt at home by night 2! I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood for walks containing lots of grass multiple times per day and a fenced in yard to hang out in. Minutes away from Lincoln Woods adventures and dog parks. Some days of course can be lazy days where we stay cozy and watch a movie. I’ll accommodate your preferences :) I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know about all of your dog's dietary needs, how many times a day they should be walked, how active they usually are, any anxieties they might have, and anything else that would make their stay more comfortable. Early clients shall enjoy a star sitter at discount while I build this new account. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies. I currently work from my home. Your pets will be right by my side for most of every day whether it be watching tv, playing in the yard, or going on adventures through the grassy neighborhood, parks, and Lincoln Woods. My home has an entirely fenced in yard with hedges providing a private sanctuary your your pet to relax in. The neighborhood has lots of grassy sidewalks and shade from trees.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family members, friends, neighbors, etc. have always had pets and have relied on me to take care of them for periods of time. I work on a hybrid schedule, so I am home most Mondays, Fridays - Sundays all day. When I am in the City working I have breaks where I can walk dogs that are close by as well. I don’t have any pets in my home, I live with my fiance who has grown up owning multiple dogs at a time. We have no children in the home either. We live in a townhouse with a front and back yard.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and currently have a sweet 7 year old Yorkie mix who is definitely the center of our household. If your pup is used to a home where they get lots of attention, then ours is the right fit. I volunteer with the Hotel for Homeless Dogs in Cumberland and understand the patience and love dogs need when with someone new or in an unfamiliar place. I’m a teacher so my summers and weekends are relatively free and I would love to spend some of July and August caring for your pup. During the summer, I usually take my dog Petey on about 4 walks a day and would love to bring your pup along as well. I do only take small- medium sized dogs as Petey can sometimes be intimidated by larger breeds. I live with my husband and stepchildren who have had dogs all their lives and understand how to be around them. I have an unfenced yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I love going for dog walks and you can be assured your pup will be outside for a good portion of the day. I can crate your dog if you like, but we don’t crate our own.

About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting. I walk a lot everyday so adding a dog would make it even better! I am very experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, fish, and more. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning, nail/hair care, and maintaining their normal routines. I’m also very comfortable with anxious, energetic, stubborn, or easily overwhelmed animals and know how to handle each pet based on their individual personality, age, and needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I do have a full time job myself on the weekdays till 6pm however am free if anyone needs a night sitter/walker/ or needs me to stop by feed/bath or cleanup after the animals. I am free most weekends however and could help out whenever Saturday and Sundays I do live in an apartment however it is pretty spacious with just me living in it, there multiple rooms and I have easy access to an outside yard to walk any animal. There is also a park right down the street if there's a bigger dog that needs a longer walk I typically walk about 2 miles myself either way and wouldn't mind a walking buddy. I am also a neat freak in a sense where I don't have clutter-full items hanging around anywhere so there would be nothing concerning for any animal to get to or eat

“Paula and her family were absolutely wonderful with Moon. She kept in contact the entire time we were gone, and sent many adorable pictures! Moon had a fabulous time playing with all the other dogs, and so far has been having about a 36 hour nap since we’ve been home with her!”
