“Isabel is fantastic with my two big dogs! They have various health concerns and lots of energy, and she made us feel so comfortable with all the great updates/photos while staying at our house for the long weekend. Not only is she a wonderful house guest, we can tell how much our dogs truly enjoy spending time with her!”

“Jayla was great with my anxious guy! She kindly took the job with a day’s notice 🙏 Thank you Jayla, you’re a lifesaver. Will def hit you up next time he needs care”

“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”

“Michelle was an absolute pleasure to have watch my animals. She made a point to take extra care, and spend ample time with my dog Bowser and cat Jynx. She took pictures of my pets, to keep our minds at ease, so we never had to worry. I will definitely be calling her again when needed!!”

“Cheyana was absolutely amazing with my Harry! This was a short notice booking and I’m so grateful to have found her. Cheyana has such a calm and gentle energy that put Harry right at ease during our meet & greet, and I could tell she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable. I loved that Cheyana let Harry approach her at his own pace. She was very attentive and thoughtful, sending me photos and updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she is very experienced and really knows what she is doing, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheyana to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter! I’ll definitely book again!!”

“Nikki was awesome! She has a huge heart for dogs and always keeps their best interests. Great communication and photos throughout the trip. Meet and great was helpful and she always ask great questions of the best way to take care of your dog. Would highly recommend!”


“Bri was amazing! She was very communicative and sent a few updates a day to let us know how Cooper was doing! It gave us peace of mind to know that he was in such great hands :)”

“Noah is the best cat/house sitter in the world. He was so communicative, respectful and treated my cat like his own. My cat loved him and was absolutely living for all the love, care and company Noah provided. I know my cat is just waiting for me to leave so he can hang out with Noah again - and I will never hesitate to do so. I got such great updates from Noah, and felt like I was there with him and my cat, it made being away from my furry buddy so much easier. Thank you Noah!!!”


“Jada was beyond professional, accommodating and so loving with our little guy! We would definitely hire her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking house sitting services.”

“Aidan was very communicative and made sure to reach out when Kieran was having stomach upset. They made the effort to coordinate both with me and my friend as I was out of the country and less accessible. Later on in my trip when my flights got messed up, they were ready and willing to come back to care for Kieran until I sorted everything out. They’re a wonderful and thoughtful pet sitter. I would recipe d them to anyone!”

About: I have always owned pets whenever possible, and volunteered at several shelters over the years. I have also pet sat many times for friends and family and have enjoyed it everytime. I currently work part time with a very flexible schedule. I want to do what works for you. Let me know the times you need and I will make it work! I want to maintain your pets routine as much as possible and be as least intrusive on your home as possible. Please tell me how I can do this most effectively.
“Sophie was wonderful with Biff! This was my first time traveling and leaving Biff for this long, but Sophie reassured me he would be okay. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day and followed all instructions that I left!”

“Can't recommend Molly enough! She took great care of our space and of our lovable, anxious dog. She has such a depth of professional experience working with pets, I felt really easy about leaving Pearl with her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again.”

“Rich was great with Athena! She warmed to him quickly. He sent tons of pics and vids each day with her, and kept her routine as normal as possible. We will definitely use him again when we travel!”

About: I have been taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs (and cats) forever. They know how much of an animal lover I am so they think of me first when they need help. Taking your dog for a walk is the highlight of my day, and I think the dog knows it and has a great time. I coach figure skating 15-25 hours a week. Never for longer than 4 hours in one rink at a time. I have large gaps between rinks and Monday and Thursday completely off. Walking dogs around my coaching schedule is perfect because it brings some extra joy to my day and keeps me busy. I do a meet and greet with the pet parents before I take care of their babies. That way I know what leashes they use, what doors to lock, what foods they eat, what to avoid on walks, behaviors, etc
“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!”

“Sylvia took good care of JoJo for an evening. She displayed a gentle, warm approach with him and he was very comfortable with her. We will be glad to engage her again.”

About: I am a 31 year old holistic healing practitioner in Providence RI. I love caring for animals and giving them a fun and calm experience. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I’m happy you’re interested in working with me. I do this from the heart. I service clients in the downtown PVD area and close by. My approach is intentional, it’s about stimulating the dogs’ minds, showing affection, and building a bond. Exercise is very important for all animals. And just like we want respect from fellow humans, we need to command respect from the dogs as well. I’ve been walking dogs for about a year. I also fostered a dog for about 3 months to assist with her behavioral issues. It was very meaningful and fun to help the pit bull mix gain her confidence. I have some experience in a daycare setting but my standards are so high that I have decided to do the daycare my own way. Dogs and pet parents deserve truth, constructive and caring feedback, and kindness. If you want your pup to receive one on one attention where they can learn commands, learn patience, and have fun while doing it, in a safe environment, please message me for more details :) Book me today! Please message me for exact timeframes. Thank you! Sending you light 🌟 I’m looking forward to giving your dogs an enjoyable walk around the city! I live in downtown Providence so I’m close to many busy people who own dogs. I work with people and animals full time and love connecting with the community. Let me know what time works best for you during my availability hrs. I am able to walk your dog and keep them stimulated with commands/tricks and play time. I’ve fostered a 5.5 year old pit bull with some behavioral issues and it was beautiful to see her show respect and love all in one. It’s not the breed that’s the problem, it’s the owner behind the dog. I really do believe calm assertiveness is needed for anyone to own a dog. I bring that good energy with me on the dog walks.
