About: I dog-sat and walked dogs all throughout highschool and have never met a dog i didn’t love that didn’t also love me! I am interested in making some college money while home from college! I will walk your dogs wherever you desire to get all of their energy out and play additional games with them if you’d like! I am a super sweet, energetic college student that has always loved dogs and will take the absolute best care of your dogs to ensure your trust and you will feel confident with me and your dogs. I am willing to meet before in a public setting to make sure I am the right fit for your needs and perfect for your pup or cat! I am not as well experienced with cats but did clean my neighbors litter box and feed their cat throughout highschool! I currently work full-time in Downtown Providence but would be able to either stay overnight or visit them once in the morning and spend extended time with them in the afternoon. I do have every other Friday off, if you’re looking for a long weekend sitter! My roommate has a cat but that is the only animal in my home. I have no preference on animals on the furniture so whichever you would prefer! I also love to go on long walks so they would get plenty of excercise!

About: Hi, everyone! I grew up in a lively home always filled with at least four dogs, so caring for, training, and understanding dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I haven’t owned a dog of my own yet, I’ve been missing that daily dog companionship, which is what inspired me to start walking and caring for dogs professionally. My experience is strongest with medium and large breeds — especially energetic pointers, thanks to my dad raising them — so I know how to handle dogs with a lot of athleticism and enthusiasm. At the same time, I’m patient and mindful, able to slow down and match the pace of gentle giants like Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m very active and love the Providence area, so walking dogs here is a perfect way for me to get outside, stay energized, and give your furry friend the exercise and attention they deserve. I’m committed to providing safe, joyful walks where your dog can explore, play, and feel loved. Open to drop-in visits as well! Hoping to meet some new furry friends soon 🤍 I work in medicine, which gives me a unique schedule with many weekdays off—and I often have weekends free, too. My schedule changes week to week, so I’m happy to work closely with pet parents to find times that fit perfectly into your furry friend’s routine, providing them with companionship and exercise when they may otherwise be alone. Additionally, I am an early riser so happy to try and fit in walks prior to or after work if needed. I believe every dog should be treated as if it were my own. On every walk, I will focus on your dog’s needs and your preferences. Whether they enjoy an energetic romp or a slow, gentle stroll, I’ll adjust my pace to keep them comfortable and happy. I will stay attentive to their energy, mood, and any special instructions you provide, making sure they feel safe and cared for throughout. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to giving them the personalized attention they deserve during our time together.

“Fiona was not only reliable but went above and beyond in caring for my cat Chester at relatively short notice. Also, as a professional photographer she sends the most precious, well-captured pictures of your fur baby. Definitely booking with her again in the future ❤️”


About: I've been around and cared for dogs my whole life. I grew up around large dogs like Shepherd mixes and Huskies, but I've also been responsible for the care of smaller dogs as well. I've lived with cats and currently have one myself that I "co-parent" with my housemate. I've also cared for rabbits, chickens, parrots, fish, turtles, frogs, and even axolotls! I'm just an all-around animal person, and I'd love to meet you and your pet :) I work remotely part-time on weekdays, and I can do this from anywhere with an internet connection, so I'm very flexible when it comes to bookings. This is how I'm able to prioritize your pet so they get the attention they deserve! I'm no stranger to following extremely specific special instructions for a pet. I know that every animal has their own personality, with likes, dislikes, and individual needs. I also understand that for each booking, I'm entering someone else's private home, and I make sure to maintain the utmost respect for that. Your pet and your home's safety is my top priority.

About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.

About: My wife and I love dogs. I have 2 kids, one in second grade and the other in pre-k. My wife is an elementary school teacher and I work remotely in tech. My grandfather was a veterinarian, and instilled a love for animals in me at a young age. In college I worked at a doggy day care in Minneapolis, MN. I have experience with dogs ranging from a few pounds to large dogs like Bernese and Great Danes. I have a flexible schedule so I can make most schedules work. I would love to work with you, and am looking forward to hearing from you. I strive to respond within an hour for every inquiry! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. I can make almost any schedule work since my primary job is remote. Whatever the needs of your furry friend are I am happy to accommodate! I love to take pets on walks or play in a yard. I love going to dog parks or go for a run. I am happy to bring my frenchie along if your furry friend prefers a play mate as well!
