“Kimiko was great! She was very attentive to Sadie’s needs and asked good relevant questions. She sent plenty of photos and made sure she was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about Sadie at all!”


“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”


“Cayla was fantastic with my cat. I was new to Rover and had to make last minute changes, and Cayla was flexible and amiable throughout. She came on time, sent photos, and was responsive. I highly recommend her!!!”


“Jayla was great! Consistent with the time of check-ins and feedings, communicative about the cats and what they were up to, and so helpful with taking photos of all of them so I could see how they were doing! Jayla was super flexible with scheduling the meet and greet and was very responsive to messages.”

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”


About: I have so much personal experience with all different kinds of pets ranging from reptiles to cuddly puppies. I would love to gain more experience with the behavior of animals but I am very well versed in how to care for most pets. I am currently trying to make this my full time job so anybody that needs a pet sitter I’m your gal! I will love any pet as it’s my own I have a very friendly small dog if your baby ever needs company. I am very in tune to small sounds and any odd behaviors that may seem minuscule to others because I know how much animals can get themselves into a mess without meaning to. I can sing them songs when they seem scared or miss you and dance with them when they have the zoomies too.

About: I love animals and they love me. I am good and excel at taking care of animals because I am passionate and love what I do. I am dependable and will try my hardest to help out in a bind. I go above and beyond and am good at what I do. I’ve done this for a long time and know how to deal with all types of breeds I am usually available weekends and breaks when I’m home from school so summer and breaks like winter and spring, I’m good with any times. I usually care for dogs and cats in their own homes, it’s where they are most comfortable and best for them when their owner is away. I think it’s important to keep them in their familiar surroundings. I am very careful about houses and good with instructions. Not only will I make sure to keep your dog healthy but also your animal and home safe.

About: Life-long dog owner and lover with experience pet sitting and walking! My dog has his trick title, and I would love to help your dog learn new things while I spend time with the little buddy. If your dog is friendly, I can even walk them together for some social time if you want! We have a lovely home with lots of toys and comfy places for your pup to hang out, crated or free roaming. I have been a foster dog parent and I have taken care of all types, from little springy poodles to plodding old beagles, to sleepy recovering collies. I have been a go-to pet sitter for friends for their large dogs, too. I swear if you ask me to I will read literal storybooks to your dogs. I will draw you mega cute portraits of your dog. I will take your dog on local adventures. Heck, I will talk to your dog about ethics if you want me to. I will try to train your dog do this trick: Me: "how's life?" Your dog: "ruff" There are infinite possibilities. Your dog and I will star in a montage where you're dog learns to play basketball. I'm so psyched to meet your dog right now. I’m reliable and I have a flexible schedule for the remainder of the summer. I spend most of the day at home, and when I’m stepping out your pup is encouraged to snuggle up on my bed. Some important requirements for dogs who stay at the house! -Dogs must be house trained -Dogs must either be happy in a crate, or trustworthy/non-destructive when not in a crate -Dogs must not show aggression towards other dogs or cats -Dogs must either be under 50 lbs OR dogs must be trained not to jump on people/put teeth on people, or pull uncontrollably on the leash I have a relaxed summer schedule and will spend much of my day with your dog! Dogs go out first thing in the am, get breakfast, have s longer walk in the afternoon, and go out before bed (please specify specific schedule needs if this doesn’t work for your little guy). Usually I incorporate some training during the evenings while we hang out at the house! Pets are generally fed morning and evening. Walks are provided periodically throughout the day. Play time happens a number of times a day, and dogs can play fetch in the yard!

About: Being the parent of a reactive rescue chihuahua and many small rodents, I know the feeling of finding suitable care for a pet that might need a little extra care. For many years, I've volunteered at animal organizations, including Marty's Senior Dog Sanctuary and Providence Animal Rescue League. I am also training to become a wildlife rehabilitator. I am comfortable with animals of all behavior levels, certified in animal CPR, and can give medications if needed. **PLEASE NOTE** I will only respond to requests that have a thorough & complete profile with detailed information. This is to prevent spam messages. Thanks for your understanding! I am currently working part-time with a fairly flexible schedule. I usually have open availability Mon-Wed, and afternoon availability Th-Sat. Sundays vary, but I can usually make things work! I am happy to provide references of past clients for dog walking, cat sitting, and house sitting. As a detail oriented person, when I am in a clients home, I always triple check all instructions, and make sure everything is in order. My main priority is to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy while their parents are away. We'll spend lots of time together, whether it's on walks or just hanging out at home. I also love to send daily picture updates to put your mind at ease!

About: I grew up as a dog owner, so I'm usually taking care of puppies on their first needs and training, cats overnights care and administering medication if necessary. I moved here from Boston. I work 15 minutes away from home and It allows me to stop in the middle of the day to take the dogs out. I live close to 1 park within walking distance 2 parks within less than 5 miles away. At home, I can provide grooming, a lot of love and a good time.

About: I LOVE dogs/puppies of all types! I tend to overly shower them with love, treat them as if they are family member, providing safety, basic training, exercise, love, healthy all natural homemade food & treats (with your permission of course), and Reiki for relaxation! Auntie Tammie and cousin Rocky are waiting to meet you! I have a flexible scedule that allows me to care for dog(s) as well as my own dog who would absolutely love a companion to play with as well. I have a fenced in yard as well as a designated room for your pet to unwind and relax without distraction as replacement for crating.

And they’ve successfully worked with and trained other species as well including a spicy Sun Conure! On top of their phenomenal animal skills they’re also a people person.

Ana M.
“Ana is an absolute gem pet caregiver. She somehow befriended both our grumpy special-needs senior dog and our antisocial closet-dwelling cat. And she is great at giving all our pets their medicine… which is a feat on its own! Ana is super dependable and really goes the extra mile - she even replaced our fire alarm battery so it wouldn’t keep chirping and bothering the pets while we were away. Ana also volunteers for the local animal rescue, so she has experience with all kinds of furry (and not so furry) loves. We highly recommend Ana for all your pet sitting needs!”
