“This was our first time using Rover and Isabel was amazing. She provided updates and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very professional and asked lots of our questions during our virtual meet and greet and took the time to learn the dogs’ routines. We can’t wait to use her again!”

“Emily was absolutely incredible. We knew when we met her that she was the sitter we wanted watching our dogs while we were away for our wedding weekend. She did not disappoint. Our hometown saw one of the worst storms in a long time and she helped our pups get through the night. We would recommend her to everyone.”

“I can’t say enough good stuff about Sophie! She took care of our two cats while we were out of town for our wedding. It was our first time leaving one of the cats home alone, so we were a little nervous. Sophie kept us updated and gave us much needed peace of mind. Our two cats are still getting to know each other so have to be kept separate, and one of them has a minor health condition that we needed to keep an eye on. Despite these challenging circumstances (and an unexpected power outage), Sophie took incredible care of our girls. She was patient, thoughtful and communicative, which we so appreciated during our busy wedding weekend. We came home to a clean home and happy cats. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sophie and would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat.”

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!

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was young. Most recently helped train my family German Shepherd puppy from 10 weeks! I also have experience caring for my dog when she went through a major hip replacement surgery, which required much more intensive care over the course of a few months. Do not currently have any pets (my pup is back home), but have helped take care of both dogs and cats. I am staying in the Brown University area over the summer and will be conducting research as a Master's student. My schedule is very flexible as I mostly work on a laptop. However, there will be days I have to work around experiments, so feel free to inquire! I won't be able to host your pet (sadly), but I am more than willing to visit or walk as needed! I always starts with asking: 1. Any essential things about the pet I need to know (medication, allergies, etc.) 2. Any essential things about the house? (places to keep them out of, toys, beds, where they like to hang out) 3. Food, drink, and potty schedule + locations for each. 4. Anything else you want me to be aware of? (No shoes in the house, stay out of certain rooms, don't let mud get tracked around, etc.) 5. In case there's a mess, how should I clean up? (paper towels, pads, trash bags, etc.) I always want to respect both your house and your little friend so please give me as much detail as possible!

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.

About: Hi! I have been pet sitting with my non-reactive pup Sylvie for a number of friend's cats and dogs since COVID (usually as a favor) in and out of the New England area. I work at an arts non-profit in PVD and can drive. I can pet-sit and do limited amounts of dog training. Right now I work in a dog-friendly place 10 minutes from my home and my partner is working from home. We like going on hikes and to the dog parks. I would not bring a client's pet to my workplace, but a pet would always have someone with them at all times or at least not be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I am most flexible on weekends and for overnight care. I have a fenced yard, a crate, and multiple rooms in the home with pocket doors that can split a larger room into two if needed. We usually let pets have free range of home or section off the living room depending on the temperament and needs of the pet.

About: Hi my name is Neriah and I'm a second year college student at CCRI. I've had dogs ever since I was 6. I currently have one dog named Apollo. I also have 3 cats. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for a family friend who has three dogs. During that time, I was responsible for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure they felt comfortable and safe while their owner was away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make it a priority to follow owners' instructions carefully. I am dependable, patient, and committed to providing pets with the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys active playtime or simply needs companionship, I will treat them as if they were my own. Experience Includes: Daily feeding and fresh water Walks and exercise Potty breaks Playtime and companionship Caring for multiple pets at once Following specific schedules and routines Monitoring pets for safety and well-being Providing updates to owners I’m currently working full-time as a pet sitter and pet care provider, which gives me much more flexibility and availability to care for your pets! My schedule is generally very open, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of dates and times depending on my existing bookings. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I am committed to following your pet's routine and providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the care instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special requirements. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and appropriate exercise and playtime. I also keep doors and gates secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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 !

“Heather is awesome!!! A family member was supposed to watch our dogs but she was injured just days before our trip. I reached out to Heather at 4pm on a Tuesday and she was at my house for a meet and greet at 8am Wednesday. She was super accommodating from the first moment all the way to the end of the sitting. Throughout our vaca she sent pics and videos but was also totally self sufficient. The dogs had a great time with her. When we got home our dogs were happy to see us but not desperate for attention as they sometimes have been in the past after we’ve been away. You could tell that they were the #1 focus of Heather’s time while we were gone and received tons of play and snuggles. I will absolutely book Heather again and highly recommend her!”

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 🫶🐾❤️

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!
