“Selena has walked our very active dog, a couple of times and has been really responsive! Our dog can be a bit skittish of new folks and she handled his behavior with stability and great care. She’s always super responsive with messaging and booking which is a huge help when planning your weekly schedule. Will definitely be booking Selena in the future.”
“Megan was so great with my large pup who has been anxious while her dad is away. I last minute needed help and Megan went out of her way to fit me into her schedule. Megan was communicative and detailed in her reports on walks. She was also on time and spent the entire 30 min+ with our pup. Would definitely book again.”
“Shannon responded quickly for a dog walk request for less than 24 hrs out. She sent pictures of my dog in the walk and gave detailed notes about the interaction. Thank you Shannon!”
“Gabriela got along well with my dogs but I never received any information or photos from her during the entire time she was dog sitting. When I asked her, she said everything was fine. When I asked her to send photos and mentioned that I hadn't received anything, she said she was under a lot of personal stress. Everyone goes through bad times and I hope she's okay.”
About: Hi everybody, my name is Liz and I look forward to caring for your adorable animals! I understand that your pets are part of the family and it is difficult to leave them when going away. That’s why I hope to provide the best care so your animals can continue to thrive. I started walking my neighbors dog as a little kid for extra chore money which soon expanded to walking multiple dogs in my neighborhood. Throughout my 20s I assisted friends & family with walking and house sitting. I am comfortable with cats as well and currently have two cats of my own. I have experience with injections for diabetic cats as well and oral medications & ear drops for both dogs and cats. If it is allowed by the owners, I’m happy to take your dog in my car to the park or beach for extra exercise and entertainment. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I currently work part-time as a group therapist working 7am-3pm with rotating weekends. I am available to spend the night at your home regardless of my part-time schedule. I have two friendly cats who have a lot of experience being around dogs. I have plenty of space for a dog to move around and I don’t mind dogs being on the couch.
“Emily has cared for Jack twice. She goes above and beyond, making sure he’s getting enough fresh air and exercise on extended walks and enough TLC while we’re away. Highly recommend.”
About: I love animals! I grew up with dogs and cats and I’m also majoring in animal science at URI. I am fun and patient. I will play with your dog and give them all the attention they need. I have experience with a variety of dogs, big and small. My schedule is pretty flexible. Please feel free to message me whenever. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am currently working 8am-12pm and taking classes at URI on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I am available most days. Feel free to reach out! I love to go on walks and have a leash tied up outside to let them out in the yard. I can also crate your pet if needed.
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 years old, and ever since then I have always had an animal by my side. From cats to dogs to even ducks and chickens! I love them all! I have done my best to master the art of giving cats medication( which is no easy task) and have become and expert in hiding pills in cheese for our dogs! I would love to help take care of your fur babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom for my two little girls so my schedule is generally wide open besides the frequent trips to the playground! I have two dogs myself, and we can take long walks on the near by trail or around the neighborhood! Also have an extra crate if need be
“Karen is exactly the kind of person I want taking care of my timid pup - I completely trust her with my dog and my home. My shy girl warmed up to her very quickly. She keeps my pup active and happy. Karen is super friendly, communicative, and personable - she is terrific! Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a cat lover & I work from home - which means I can provide full time, attentive pet care. As well as cats, I’ve also owned/cared for of all sorts of other pets, including: - Cats - Dogs - Chickens - Ducks - Geese - Fish - Axolotls - Guinea Pigs - Goats I am also a certified master gardener - So if you book me for drop ins or house sitting, I’m happy to take care of your plants as well. I work from home which means I can work from anywhere! I can provide full time company to any cat as long as I have access to wifi & a place to plug in my laptop. I am sure to adjust my care regimen to fit the specific needs of the cat I’m looking after - whether scaredy cat or center of attention or anything in between.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and even exotic animals for 10+ years. I’m extremely watchful and cautious that the animals are happy and safe. Nothing is more important to me than making sure your animal is safe and happy in my presence. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to give pets lots of attention, love, and care throughout the day. I have two doodles of my own and have had dogs my whole life, so I'm very familiar with their routines and needs. I’ve also cared for more exotic pets like a ferret, birds, and bunnies—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just being a calm, reassuring presence, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own - with lots of love, patience, and attention to their specific needs and routines. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and cozy space to relax, play, and feel at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and snuggles (if they’re into that!). When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress-free for both the pet and client. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, walk schedules, or just keeping their favorite routine going, I’m all about making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: I grew up with two loving labs who challenged me their whole lives (and continue to). I have experience administering medication, special dietary needs, and constant monitoring. I am available most days and evenings, please reach out to me to get a up to date availability, as it may change month to month due to college scheduling. I am most comfortable caring for your pet in your home. I believe that animals do best in their own territories. I would be plenty comfortable taking them out for walks around the neighborhood. I work in the afternoons as a nanny so I am currently available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. Overall my schedule is pretty flexible! I do not provide services at my own home at this time. I live with my parents and they are not willing to board pets.

I have a lab/American bull dog mix, a cat, a guinea pig, 6 chickens, 2 ducks, a goose, a betta fish, and an army of plants. Rachel is very attentive and responsible. She is very flexible and has stayed over at our house to care for the “farm” when we go away for longer trips but is also great for daily check ins if we travel with our dog. Could not recommend her more highly!”
