“Ellie is a real gem! I had a bad experience recently with another rover sitter in providence and was nervous to go away again. Ellie was punctual, followed the dogs routine and I felt comfortable with her watching my dogs and my home. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions and clarify information. She truly does treat the pups like her own which is so important and makes a real difference in your dog sitting experience. I absolutely recommend her! loved all the photos too :)”

“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

“We are visiting the area with our 2 dogs. I’m so happy I found Maya to stayed with them while we went out to dinner. She is very sweet and knows how to handle any dog size and personality. She gain their trust quickly and played a lot with our very active GSP. We will book her again in a couple of days.”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.

“Bri was SO phenomenal taking care of our dogs for 2 whole weeks. She communicated daily with awesome, honest updates and made us feel completely secure that our dogs were getting excellent care. She is so organized and professional, and our dogs adored her. We would love to have her watch our dogs for any trip!!”

“Sophie was responsive and flexible while our plans fluctuated! She was able to help us out last minute and our shy dobie took to her right away. Thanks Sophie!”

“Emma was amazing. Finn was very happy when we came home. She sent us many pictures and videos of Finn during the week she was here. We are very pleased and will definitely use her again.”

“Emily was awesome. I can't say enough good things about her. My dogs can be a handful. She took care of it no problem. Super happy with her. Will definitely use her again!”

“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”


About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have been caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. Beyond pet sitting, I’ve worked at an SPCA and at a zoo, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for a wide variety of animals. I also study animals professionally, so understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood is something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m a graduate student with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m generally available for dog walks in the mornings and evenings, and I have flexibility during the day depending on my class and research schedule. I’m also available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work around each pet’s usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! I live on the top floor of a house with plenty of space for pets to relax and a small yard for some outdoor time. I also have a very friendly cat who loves dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a multi-animal home.

“Patricia is truly a wonderful person and a real dog whisperer! My 2-year-old Bagel can be a little nervous around strangers, but she knew exactly how to read him and quickly win him over. Within minutes of meeting her, he was chasing her around and playing fetch! It’s clear she knows how to make dogs feel comfortable, which made leaving him in her care so much easier and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Patricia stayed at my house to look after Bagel, making him comfortable in his own home while I was away, and I did not have any worries in absence because I knew he was in great hands. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust to care for him, and I really appreciate how easy and stress-free she made the whole experience with constant updates. I can’t recommend Patricia enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pets!”

“Jennifer was amazing with our dog Nino! When we got home he was calm and happy! She took him for walks every day and gave him the attention he needed. She took great care of him and our home. We’re so happy we found her to care for him when we travel, we will definitely be using her again!”

“Mae was the sweetest with our little pup poppy. She is a rescue we only have had for a short period of time so she’s a afraid of about everyone, and cannot be allowed for a long period of time. Mae handled her with care and could tell she really liked her. Mae is very professional and kept me up to date about poppy all day.”

“We booked Molly pretty last minute over Thanksgiving to watch our kitten in our home and she did a fantastic job. Very responsive, very personable, and kept us in the loop the whole time we were away. Definitely recommend!”

About: Over the past many years, I've loved providing care to dogs and cats alike. I have lots of experience with dog walking and cat sitting, and I would love to offer the best care to your loved companion. I am currently in my final year of medical school at Brown University Medical School. My student schedule allows me to be very flexible and I would love to help care for your pet! For my own pet, I love spending quality time with her and making sure she gets fed at the same times each day, gets lots of play time, and knows she is loved. I will always be careful with your home and your companion, and would be happy to answer and more questions or provide more information to help you feel the most safe!
“Nadia was super nice and mindful with max’s needs. She and her entire family took care of max during Christmas and made him feel welcome (he has separation anxiety). She sent me constant updates with pictures and videos and even asked for detailed instructions before dropping max. I will definitely book Nadia for max in the future. She’s the best dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life and have professionally cared for dogs since I was 16. I truly love animals and being vegan since I was 15 reflects how important compassion and animal care are to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I focus on making every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I focus on the dog daycare full-time. I am with your dog(s) at all times when they are over. Tyler works Monday thur Friday 8-5, and comes home for lunch.works with fabrics at-home. Stewie, Shaggy and I will take great care of your dog(s) every need, no matter how weird or intricate. If you have an exotic schedule, as long as you are a good communicator than we would be a good teammate. We’ve worked with a lot of weird situations to help our regulars. The home has a 6’ tall fully fenced in back yard. This allows for convenient and safe bathroom breaks whenever necessary. The single family home is on a street with 12 other single family homes along the same side of it. We feed Stewie human grade food called Ollie. He has all of his shots and had a regular vet visit at the Bedford Animal Hospital in Bedford, NH prior to our move to Providence RI in September 2022. On boardings your dog would join our days exploration outside of the home at some park, trails, etc. We are not much for walking dogs on busy city streets/sidewalks. Come check us out !

About: I’ve taken care of so many different types of animals growing up. I have always had a compassion for caring for animals and providing them with the love and care that they deserve. I am currently a student in college who works part time, while taking in online classes. So a lot of my time will be spent creating bonds with your beloved animals! I can follow any certain safety procedures and make sure your fuzzy friend stays safer than ever, because that’s what I would want with my babies.
“Rayna was great to work with as she took care of our little pup Ollie! She was an amazing communicator, sent regular pictures, took Ollie on good walks and took great care of our house. We would be lucky to work with her again!”

Samantha is a great pet and house sitter. She took care of my dog and cats with great care and attention. Everyone was healthy and fine when we came home. The house was well taken care of as well, clean and neat. The communication was also very good, pictures sent and response time was also prompt. I defiinitely recommend her and would hire her again.
Lauren is an absolutely amazing kitty sitter! 😻❤️ She watched my two babies for nearly three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She took such wonderful care of them and sent the absolute cutest pictures! She even stopped by beforehand to meet the kitties, and it was clear from the start how genuinely she cares about them. She treated my babies like her own, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Lauren enough to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving cat sitter 🫶🐾❤️

Katie was great! She took good care of Koda while I was out of town and everything went smoothly. She was easy to communicate with and sent a few pictures and updates throughout my trip, which I appreciated. I’d definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!

5/5 Stars! Highly Recommend! Xinwei is hands down one of the best pet sitters we have ever used! While we have worked with pet walkers in the past, Xinwei was our very first time trusting someone to stay overnight with our pups, and he completely blew us away. From start to finish, his attention to detail and thoughtful care exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to truly understand our pups' routines, personalities, and specific needs, making sure every detail, from feeding and exercise to late night comfort, was followed to a T. Knowing our dogs were in such attentive, loving hands for their first overnight stay gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Beyond being wonderful with our pups, Xinwei was exceptionally respectful of our home. We returned to find everything immaculate, honestly, even better than we left it! Xinwei is genuinely kind, reliable, and deeply professional. We look forward to using him again and definitely will, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional, trustworthy sitter!

Highly recommend Tatiana! She took such great care of my boy, kept my house clean, and sent lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, which gave me peace of mind. She was responsible, thoughtful, and respectful of my home. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for my next trip.

JL house sit for 7days while I was abroad. He took the utmost care with Angus and my home. JL sent me daily updates, pictures and video. I am so happy our paths crossed. I would highly recommend JL. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Thank you, JL, for taking great care of my fella! Until next time.

Cailey was great with my furbaby. She put in a very long day when I had a wedding to go to and stayed the entire time without complaint, playing with her, walking her and feeding her. She continually left me photos and updated me on how she was doing. My furbaby loved her. Thank you Cailey!!

Amanda was great with my anxious pitty mix who is aggressive with other dogs. She was very communicative and scheduled a meet n greet on short notice. She asked lots of questions and made sure she was prepared for the overnight stay at our place. Highly recommend!
