About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my house, Growing up with large dogs; I'm comfortable with them and capable of handling them, though I love the little guys too! As your dog's caretaker, I'll be sure to get your best friend the exercise and care that they need and deserve, and am excited and willing to go the extra mile if it means I get to spend a little extra time with them. I offer low rates, but that doesn't mean that, I look forward to meeting, playing with, walking, and otherwise looking after your four-legged friend soon, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I am a stay at home dad with my 5 children, whom also love dogs. They as well have been blessed to be raised with big and small dogs. I offer all type of services, overnight, walks, check-ins. I am available all day. I have a large fenced in yard where they can run, play and burn out energy. I have a open availability and home with my pups at all time. I do not like to cage my pup so they mainly free roam the home and I set them up a place to sleep. I follow all instructions left for me if care is to be done in my pups home. When pups are in my home for the most part they free roam my home and I like to take them out for walks and runs.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. It’s been more than 10 years of walking dogs for friends family and clients. I have experience with sitting all types of dogs and cats. I have helped birth 2 litters and raise and train the litter while taking care of the mom. I also love cats and taking care of them. I would love to help you and your family out by allowing stress free time away knowing your pets are in good hands. I am currently working part time, my schedule is pretty flexible so I will have more than enough time to walk, sit, or drop in. Your pet's safety is my top priority. On every walk, I use secure leashes and check collars and harnesses before heading out, and I stay alert to traffic, other animals, and anything on the ground your pup shouldn't eat. Because I'm comfortable walking multiple large dogs at once, I know how to keep a group calm, controlled, and safe. During drop-ins, I double-check that doors and windows are secure, food and medications are given exactly as instructed, and your home is left just as I found it. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll follow your routines and instructions closely, keep you updated with photos and messages every visit, and reach out right away if anything seems off. With experience caring for everything from kittens to senior dogs, and even farm animals at a sanctuary, I stay calm and patient in any situation. For the occasional stay at my place, your pet will be in a clean, comfortable, pet-friendly home. Since I mostly work from home, they'll have company for most of the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I also have two cats of my own, so my home is best suited for cat-friendly pets, and I'll always make sure everyone is introduced slowly and safely.

About: We both have experience living with animals. Mary grew up and lived on a farm with many cats and dogs, as well as worked in a pet store on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. Nick grew up owning fish, dogs, cats, and a number of hamsters and gerbils. We both love animals and want to make sure they aren't only taken care of, but also happy. We are living on the east side of Providence right now. We can book overnights stays, walks midday, or host for a fun/quiet night. . During those stays we will be able to take care of the animals at all times and accommodate them properly. We both currently work in the city but have flexible times during the day and weekends. We take them on plenty of walks and make sure they get to move throughout the day. Playtime is super important for most animals, not just taking them on a daily walk. We treat out clients animals as if they were our own. Regular/routine feeding times, outdoor activity, and plenty of love and care.

About: Hello, I’m a Brown University graduate who gave up on the corporate life to live off my art and my passion for animals. I’ve always had pets in my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, I also helped watch my neighbors’ pets whenever they needed an extra hand. Now, I’m a proud dog mom to Bonnie, a sweet Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix I share with my partner. Because she’s our first dog, we dove deep into research, while at Brown, we studied canine behavior and body language to better understand how dogs communicate and what they need to feel safe and happy. That knowledge has been invaluable in helping us welcome pet guests into our home. When your pets stay with us, they’ll be treated just like Bonnie—with cuddles, love, fun walks, playtime, and plenty of care. My goal is always to make them feel at home, comfortable, and loved. I’m also available to provide pet care for weddings, birthdays, and other special or public events where your pet is part of the celebration! Whether you need help with supervision, transportation, or keeping your pet comfortable throughout the event, feel free to reach out to learn more about my services and availability. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and cuddle your pets throughout the day. Whether they need extra attention, long walks, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure they always feel cared for. The first priority for me when caring for animals is safety. I pay close attention to the environment and make sure pets are always comfortable and secure. For dogs, I have a safe yard where they can play, take potty breaks, or just relax outside. I also live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks and trips to the park. For cats, my home is equipped with window protection so they can’t slip outside (unless they are leash-trained or outdoor cats whose owners prefer outside time). I always respect each owner’s preferences—whether that means leash walks, indoor-only care, or a specific routine. If not in my own house, it's my pleasure to go to the owners house to take care of the cats! I will check the whole house to make sure everything is in order, clean everything, feed, hang out and play with the little ones! I pay attention to each animal’s unique needs. I believe communication is key, so I’ll always ask questions and keep in touch to make sure we’re on the same page.

“Bittersweet - Emma was super sweet and we wish her the best building her business. It wasn't a good fit for our family - she minimized feedback offered about dog care-related decision making (based in valid and evidence based concerns about safety). Immediately after the first walk and subsequent discussion, she declined to work with us further. We are bummed, because our pup connected with her quickly.”

“What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.”
