Caprice fed our cat for the weekend, and was very communicative, sent lots of photos and made us feel comfortable that Hendrix was safe and happy while we were away. We would definitely work with her again!

Noah is such a trustworthy, kind and communicative pet sitter. I always feel comfortable knowing he’s stopping by to watch my pet and appreciate how he loves on Billee like he’s his own. Billee takes meds, and Noah is great about keeping him on schedule and reaches out whenever he feels like something is out of the ordinary (in my house or with my pet). He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND every time and we are so so grateful for him.

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’ve had animals my whole life! I’ve cared for horses, dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters etc. I have two little dogs and a cat of my own :) Ziggy, Chewy, and Jackson are my world and I dote on them daily. I promise to care for your fur babies like they’re my own ❤️ I have experience with medication administration and care for puppies and senior animals. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to devote a lot of attention toward your babies. I have a very flexible job and am often working from home so I have a lot of availability to adjust to your babies’ schedules. I have a large space in my home and am close to a nearby park to let the fur babies run around. My mornings start with a good morning treat, and then a long walk through the neighborhood. We follow it up with a post-walk lil dental treat and breakfast. I usually take my girls out three times a day and am happy to take your fur babies with us. I also have a cat who gets his breakfast at the same time (only the finest mix of wet and dry). After breakfast we usually play a little before they all tucker out and I get started on some work in the living room. Usually all the babies snuggle on the couch while I sip my coffee and sift through emails.

I work 10 hours shift during the week, however I am free in the evenings after 6pm and have one free day during the week. I am always available on the weekends. I understand that all dogs have their own routine, needs & quirks! I am very thorough with the care I provide and will love them like my own!

About: Raised in a household where every animal was treated like family, I offer patient and attentive care for a wide range of companions. From high-energy dogs and affectionate cats to smaller specialized pets, I pride myself on understanding their unique instincts and personalities. Experienced Care for All Companions Dogs & Cats: I am comfortable with all temperaments—from senior dogs and shy rescues to "velcro" cats like my own who crave constant affection. Small & Unique Pets: My experience extends to birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I understand that smaller animals require a gentle touch and strict adherence to their specific feeding and habitat routines. Intuitive & Patient: I prioritize reading body language and providing space or snuggles as needed. My goal is to maintain a calm, empathetic environment where every pet feels safe and heard. Trusted Professional: As the go-to "on-call" sitter for my friends and family, I am known for maintaining consistent schedules and providing genuine companionship while owners are away. Whether your pet needs a vigorous walk, a pristine habitat, or a quiet afternoon of company, I am dedicated to keeping their routine on track and making them feel special. I work from home in Providence, which allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and reliability for your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily integrate midday walks, feedings, or play sessions into my workday without rush. Daily Flexibility: Available for walks and check-ins anytime during the workday, as well as evenings and weekends. Regular or "On-Call" Care: Whether you need a consistent weekly sitter to keep a routine or a one-off "pinch hitter" when you're headed out of town, I can accommodate your schedule. Attentive Supervision: Working from home means I am a constant presence; if I am sitting in your home, your pet will rarely be alone and will receive the frequent attention they deserve. Prompt Communication: I pride myself on being reachable and providing quick updates so you never have to wonder how your companion is doing. I am happy to work around your pet's specific timing for meals and exercise to ensure their day feels as normal as possible while you're away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining a secure, clean, and private environment. I understand that you aren't just trusting me with your animals, but with your personal space as well. Respect for Your Home: I treat your property with the utmost care. I am naturally tidy and will ensure that food bowls, litter areas, and play spaces remain clean and organized. I leave your home exactly as I found it—if not better. Safety & Security: I am diligent about home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked, alarms are set, and your pet is safely settled before I leave. I am also mindful of household hazards, ensuring that "counter-surfers" or curious chewers stay out of trouble. Privacy & Professionalism: Your privacy is a top priority. I am there strictly to care for your pets and will never overstep boundaries or access areas of your home that aren't necessary for their care. Consistent Communication: I am highly reachable and believe in proactive updates. You’ll receive check-ins and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and your home is in good hands. I focus exclusively on in-home visits and walks, ensuring your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment while you have the confidence that your home is being treated with professional respect.

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and animals. In my own home, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, including a Black Labrador and a French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. I’ve also looked after my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, including a senior dog who needed medicine administered and special care. This also includes cats, dogs, birds, and bearded dragons. I truly adore all animals (except mosquitos! lol) and consider it a privilege to care for them. I value honesty, reliability, and quality treatment for both people and animals alike. This is why five star service is guaranteed when you book with me 😊 I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm. I usually keep my nights and weekends free for any bookings. I will care for your pet inside your home by of course being respectful of your space, making sure any unsafe foods or items are out of reach, all gates or fences are closed to ensure they don’t escape, their food/medicine is on time and prepared *EXACTLY* as instructed. I can also promise snuggles, play time, and plenty of attention!

About: I’ve volunteered at a vet boarding/clinic in my teen years and cared for friends and family’s pets over the years. I also have furry babies of my own, 2 dogs and 4 cats. Fare to say I am an animal lover at heart. I currently work a full time day job with weekends off. I am available on the weekends and can give your fur baby all the love and attention they need. I am also available for on boarding if needed. My husband, 5 year old son and I own a two family with a fenced in side yard that is big enough for play time. We have a finished basement we’re some of our pets love hanging out. We can provide your animal with free roaming or crate which ever you prefer. Your fur baby will be in a safe and loving environment at all times.

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!

About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)
