House Sitting In Harmony, RI

About: I am very experienced of Feeding, Giving medication and most of all giving love and attention to them. Especially while there loved ones are away! I am a senior retired from the post office and I am open to all hours. Would be great to get up and walk your pet. I do not have a fenced in area but plenty of woods where we can travel on a harness or leash so it would be secure

“Sierra took great care of my three fur babies while I was out of town. She asked great questions about their care and handled my older dog’s health issues with ease. She kept me updated and also kept the house immaculate 🙌”

About: I’ve had animals all my life, from small Chihuahuas to big pit bulls, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of any size or weight. I truly see all animals as family and treat every pet like my own. Any pet in my care is my friend, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Im available anytime during the day and afternoon I usually work at nights so I can do morning and afternoon walks ! You can trust me with you furry friend! I have a nice big home with plenty of room for any sized dog. I have a nice fenced in backyard that is safe and I also could do walks if you prefer that. I usually sleep in the living room with them just in case they like to sleep with people.

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.

“Julia was absolutely amazing with our fur baby Geralt! She stayed at our home with him during our trip and we came back to a totally spotless home. We could tell that she loved him like one of her own and totally spoiled him. We could not have asked for a better experience and could not recommend Julia enough!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Isabel was amazing. She provided updates and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very professional and asked lots of our questions during our virtual meet and greet and took the time to learn the dogs’ routines. We can’t wait to use her again!”

About: Having grown up in Vermont, Large animals such as horses became my longest standing clients. I can provide care to both Large & Small animals depending on their needs. Trust, respect, and communication go a long way. Your pets priorities come first. I am an early riser who tends to duties with routine. My own two cats are a constant reminder. Evening and Afternoon care are regular routines for me as well Every animal is different and so are the routines asked of me. I aim to bridge the routine gap between pet and pet owner in their absence.

“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!”

“Rayna did an incredible job with my dog, Lucy!! She asked how many updates I wanted on Lucy while I was away and I told her there was no limit, and she delivered the most fun photos and updates! Lucy clearly felt so comfortable with Rayna! I will absolutely be booking again.”

“Jean was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are pretty picky with who we trust our fur baby with and we definitely felt like she was in very capable hands! Couldn’t recommend more highly!”

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”

“There is no need to think about booking her. Do it! I don’t leave my fur baby with just anyone. The minute I met her I knew she would be so sweet to my mojo and he would be in good hands. We already booked her for our next trip to watch him. Thank you Carolyn!”

“Desirae was such a great find! We struggled to find a sitter available for our Ginny for Labor Day weekend but we were so glad to find Desirae. She was prompt and responsive and flexible with her time. Ginny loved her stay with her over the holiday weekend, especially all the snuggles! We would recommend her highly and plan to work with her again. Thanks Desirae!”
