“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”


“Mackenzi did a wonderful job with our two dogs. She was a thoughtful dog and house sitter! Everything was cleaned up and the pups were well cared for! Hope to have her back again!”

“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.”


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.
“Maya was so wonderful to my precious boy. She was commutative and kept me in the loop with updates and pictures while I was away. Grateful I found a forever sitter. I highly recommend booking with Maya you won’t regret it!”

“Savannah was absolutely wonderful house sitting for penny. She provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell she truly cared for pen. Definitely will book her again”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and for the past several years I’ve specialized in seniors and small, medium breeds, including my own 11-year-old Yorkie with heart and airway conditions. I’m confident with medications, gentle routines, and multi-day stays, and I currently sit regularly for repeat clients in Providence. I run my own practice from home, so my schedule is flexible and pets are rarely alone. My days are built around routine, morning walks, midday breaks, and calm evenings. Guest dogs join my daily rhythm naturally, with consistent feeding times, multiple walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day In my home, I host one guest at a time in a calm, quiet space with supervised indoor time and secure, leashed walks. In your home, I follow your routines, feeding times, medications, and house rules. I always start with a meet and greet, keep dogs leashed or secured at all times, and send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: Ive been taking care of my own pets as long as Ive been able, and began pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for others in high school during 2022. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying ages (puppies/kittens-elderly pets) and needs (illnesses and disabilities), as well as more exotic pets like lizards, birds, rodents, and aquatic animals like fish, turtles, and axolotls. I’ve administered medications for dogs, but do not have experience with needles. I’ve spent up to a week taking care of several animals at a time, as well as short periods like nights and checking in daily. I will do all I can to provide your pet and home with the care they need! I’m currently in college, but primarily online, so my school schedule is flexible with your needs! I am not working outside of pet care so I am not tied down to other responsibilities and provide the time needed to care for your pets. I’ve lived with pets my whole life, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable paying attention to a pet’s behavior and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and secure. I’ll also treat your home with respect, double-check doors and gates, and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for while you’re away.

“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!”


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.
“Heath was great with my dogs! I booked a house sitting at the last minute and they were able to accommodate a meet and greet. They stayed over with my two dogs and took them to parks and hikes! I’m sure the dogs had a great time based on all the photos Heath sent me and how tired they were when I got home. Definitely recommend them!”

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.
“Zoe was amazing! We had a last minute need for 10 days for our golden retriever and she cared for Rosie like her own dog. She’s delightful, trustworthy, and capable. We’re so happy we met her.”

“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!”


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!
“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”

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!

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!

Zoe went above and beyond what we could have ever been expected of a pet sitter - one of our cats unfortunately started having seizures for the first time in his life the second day we were away on our eight day vacation. Zoe brought him to the emergency vet for us, picked him up two days later, and administered anti-seizure meds three times a days for the remainder of our vacation. In addition to this, Zoe took excellent care of our other pets and sent us pictures daily. She was attentive, responsive, and took care of all of our babies as if they were her own. Do yourself and your pets a favor and book Zoe for your next pet sitting needs.

We had such a great experience with Samantha the past two weekends! She kept us updated throughout our trips with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel so at ease being away. She went above and beyond- taking him on walks, playing with him, doing some training, and she even took out our trash for us!!! We felt completely at peace knowing he was safe, happy, and in such good hands. We will absolutely be using Samantha for all of our future trips and couldn’t recommend her enough!
