“As always, Christa did a great job caring for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. We have been working with Christa over the past 2 years and there is no one else we would trust to do such an awesome job. Plus, we get tons of pictures! Can't recommend Christa enough.”

“Noah was terrific! He took excellent care of my cats Mousse and Butler. Enjoyed all the updates and pictures he sent with them eating, playing and him hanging out with them. Could tell from the pictures my cats were having a great time. It gave me peace of mind while I was away knowing they were so well taken care of. Definitely recommend him to be your pet sitter. Look forward to having him take care of my cats the next time I am away!”

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
About: All my life I have had Rottweilers and pit bulls so I am neither scared nor a novice to them. From the puppy razor teeth to the elder no teeth. All my dogs are well trained and taken care of and I would love to take care of yours. If your pet needs meds no problem a quick scrub down is no issue. I am very attentive to behavior and will meet your dogs right where they are at. I work between 20-25 hours a week usually done is 3-4 days so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I pay attention to your animals needs so that no accidents happen in the house and can make sure the bathroom usage is set to your pets needs. I have alarms set for feeding times and other care measures so that your pet and mine are comfortable and always know when something is coming up. I keep whatever area I am working in safe and clean and am very careful of food and street litter when on walks making sure your animals don’t get into something they shouldn’t. I have no issue cleaning up after animal mess and am able to make adjustments and changes to suit your pets needs.
“Danielle hung out with Leo on a super last minute trip for us. Fed him, played with him, and gave him his heart meds! He looked super happy ❤️ Would 100% work with Danielle again”

“Danielle was amazing! She was comfortable and knowledgeable to be able to handle our particular pup in every way. Great communication and updates everyday! Our little loaf felt very safe with her. Would recommend 100%”

“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.”

“Sam made leaving for a few days comfortable and easy. We initially connected via video call to explain accessing the apartment and where all of Alder’s things (toys, devices, food) were… the reports had plenty of cute pictures… I felt total confidence in and comfort with Sam. And Alder seemed happy!”

“Super reliable and very easy to work with. Very responsive with communication. My cats looked very happy in photos and when I came back home. Kaitlin did a great job taking care of my kitties!”


“Bri was an absolutely fantastic sitter! Would wholeheartedly both recommend her to other pet families and book her again in the future. Thank you for being such a delight!”

“Fiona was amazing! She was diligent in caring for our two pups when we needed someone last minute - she was so communicative, kind and caring! It is so reassuring to know your furry family members are in good hands while you’re out of town. We truly appreciate you and we will absolutely be in touch next time we need someone to watch Penny and Nacho! ❤️ thank you again!”

“Brittany was excellent caring for our two cats over the holidays! She communicated every visit, sent pictures, and made sure they were loved and cared for. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Aidan was very kind and did a good job with my cat who can be on the shy side with new people! They were also very easy to communicate with and fairly quick to answer any messages. I do wish I had received a few more photos during the span of visits, but I also recognize it can be quite the task with crafty, hiding cats sometimes!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years both during my time as a nanny and in my personal life. Between my own pets, family pets, and pets of friends (and friends of friends!), caring for animals has always been a natural part of my routine. I work full-time (8–4), but I’m happy to stay at your home for dog sitting and ensure your pup is well cared for in the mornings, after work, and overnight. I’m also available for drop-in visits and completely open on weekends. Whether you need coverage for a trip, a long workday, or a date night, I’ve got you covered. I have a Great Dane and a cat of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and lots of love. I prioritize regular feeding schedules, outdoor time for play and potty breaks, and of course plenty of cuddles and attention.
“Kayla was an amazing sitter for our two cats while we were away! She really cared about connecting with them and spent time playing with them until they both warmed up to her. She even took a selfie with Stella toward the end of the week, haha; Stella was the cat that took longer to warm up to her :) I highly recommend Kayla for your pet sitting needs! I will definitely hope she is available when we're away next time!!”

“Nicole was amazing! We received daily updates and photos with each visit which put our mind as ease while we were away from our cat Moe. She utilized our suggestions for his toys and made playtime a priority. After returning from our trip, Moe was relaxed, calm, and happy to see us. Moe really took to Nicole and became good friends. We hope to continue to utilize Nicole’s services for Moe and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for the best care for their furry friends. Thanks Nicole!!”

Jenna did drop in visits for our cat for 3 days while we were away. She sent a picture every visit and made sure to let me know how my cat was feeling. I felt safe with Jenna in my home and with my cat. Jenna is trustworthy and she was always very fast and clear with her communication.

Thank you so much, Nicole!! Nicole went above and beyond to watch my two cats over the holidays. This is my second booking with Nicole and it went perfectly. I greatly appreciated the timely and detailed daily updates with photos and videos. I could tell even from photos that my cats adored Nicole and were having a great time. I look forward to seeing Nicole again and I know Maple and Holly do, too!!

I had a wonderful experience with Monica. She was extremely reliable, quick to respond to any questions or concerns while I was traveling overseas, and clearly attentive to our cat’s comfort and routine. I returned home to a happy, relaxed cat and complete peace of mind. Highly recommended.

We have used Fiona & Hannah several times now, and every single experience has been outstanding. They take exceptional care of our dog and consistently go above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy, comfortable, and well loved. The updates, photos, and communication make you feel as though you’re spending each day right alongside your dog, even while you’re away. It brings so much peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in such caring and capable hands. We truly feel we’ve found our dog sitters for life and couldn’t recommend Fiona & Hannah more highly.
