“Kenny took such good care of Barley. He even cleaned up when Barley got a little too excited and peed on the floor. We'd be glad to have Kenny back next time!”

“Maryann was wonderful! She was great with both pups..especially Lily who is very shy around strangers. She sent me lots of pics and left a summary of her time with them.”

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.

“Katie walked our two dogs three times a day for a week and was fantastic. She was always on time and sent photo updates. We would love to have Katie walk our dogs again - would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!

“Absolutely amazing! She was professional and cared for my dogs as if they were her own. Will for sure be going with her in the future”

“Heath was great with Jasper! Jasper warmed up very quickly and clearly enjoyed his walk. I received lots of pictures and a detailed description of the walk. We will definitely use Heath in the future!”

About: Raised in a household where every animal was treated like family, I offer patient and attentive care for a wide range of companions. From high-energy dogs and affectionate cats to smaller specialized pets, I pride myself on understanding their unique instincts and personalities. Experienced Care for All Companions Dogs & Cats: I am comfortable with all temperaments—from senior dogs and shy rescues to "velcro" cats like my own who crave constant affection. Small & Unique Pets: My experience extends to birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I understand that smaller animals require a gentle touch and strict adherence to their specific feeding and habitat routines. Intuitive & Patient: I prioritize reading body language and providing space or snuggles as needed. My goal is to maintain a calm, empathetic environment where every pet feels safe and heard. Trusted Professional: As the go-to "on-call" sitter for my friends and family, I am known for maintaining consistent schedules and providing genuine companionship while owners are away. Whether your pet needs a vigorous walk, a pristine habitat, or a quiet afternoon of company, I am dedicated to keeping their routine on track and making them feel special. I work from home in Providence, which allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and reliability for your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily integrate midday walks, feedings, or play sessions into my workday without rush. Daily Flexibility: Available for walks and check-ins anytime during the workday, as well as evenings and weekends. Regular or "On-Call" Care: Whether you need a consistent weekly sitter to keep a routine or a one-off "pinch hitter" when you're headed out of town, I can accommodate your schedule. Attentive Supervision: Working from home means I am a constant presence; if I am sitting in your home, your pet will rarely be alone and will receive the frequent attention they deserve. Prompt Communication: I pride myself on being reachable and providing quick updates so you never have to wonder how your companion is doing. I am happy to work around your pet's specific timing for meals and exercise to ensure their day feels as normal as possible while you're away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining a secure, clean, and private environment. I understand that you aren't just trusting me with your animals, but with your personal space as well. Respect for Your Home: I treat your property with the utmost care. I am naturally tidy and will ensure that food bowls, litter areas, and play spaces remain clean and organized. I leave your home exactly as I found it—if not better. Safety & Security: I am diligent about home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked, alarms are set, and your pet is safely settled before I leave. I am also mindful of household hazards, ensuring that "counter-surfers" or curious chewers stay out of trouble. Privacy & Professionalism: Your privacy is a top priority. I am there strictly to care for your pets and will never overstep boundaries or access areas of your home that aren't necessary for their care. Consistent Communication: I am highly reachable and believe in proactive updates. You’ll receive check-ins and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and your home is in good hands. I focus exclusively on in-home visits and walks, ensuring your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment while you have the confidence that your home is being treated with professional respect.

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: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little. They have always had a special place in heart. I’ve had all different types of animals and my sister is a vet so she has taught me some little things. I am currently working a part time job and I’m about to leave for college and need some extra hours. I don’t mind if it’s miles or just down the street. I personally don’t care if I have to go in someone’s house just want their stuff to be out so I don’t have to go through there stuff.

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’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for them feels second nature. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve helped with puppy training, administered medications, and cared for senior dogs with mobility issues. I’m dependable and make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I hope you’ll trust me to take great care of your four-legged friend!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.

“Michelle is amazing! We can enjoy our time away knowing that our dogs are in excellent hands and getting lots of snuggles and love. And her communication and updates are great! 🐶🐾”

About: I have been a life-long animal lover. I met a newborn calf on a farm when I was about 8 years old & I was a vegan for almost 10 years. I have had many rescue animals of my own over the the past 15 years but I'm recently divorced so no pets of my own currently. Now I have a lot more flexibility & freedom in my schedule to do house pet sitting & dog walking. I have a level 2 certificate in Animal Reiki healing & will be getting basic first aid and CPR training for animals this summer. I have a very flexible schedule, am mostly free during the early afternoon & mid-day so I like to get plenty of peak sun time outdoors. I do part time work in finance & also work as a freelance digital artist which is fully remote so I can keep pets company during the work day or take them out as needed. I do not have pets of my own or children so I can usually fit last minute requests in for repeat customers. In my past life before becoming an artist, I was an accountant for over a decade & my fingerprints have been registered with the financial securities broker systems. I have a very positive reputation professionally & personally in my community. My freelance business which is contingent on having great reference allows me the lifestyle to be a pet sitter.

“Maya is the best! She is heaven sent for me and my little pup…I work crazy clinical hours at the hospital and have to make changes last minute and Maya is so caring and considerate taking the time to take care of my dog when needed - even last minute! I feel lucky to have her help 😁”
