“Noah was so friendly and attentive to our cat Ava, and we are excited to have him take care of her in the future. He tries very hard to figure out fun ways to engage with her using her cat dancers/toys, and is very intuitive on how she’s feeling and how to interact with her during each visit. It was awesome to see her warm up to him within the first few visits :).”


“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!”

About: I have always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am a responsible, patient and attentive person to the needs of each pet. I like to make sure that the dogs are safe, comfortable and receive the affection and attention they deserve. I can help with walks, food, playtime and company while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy caring for pets. I can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention, and are supervised to ensure their safety. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care, just like I would my own.
“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.”

“Maya did an excellent job taking care of my cat, communicated extremely well, and sent lots of cute photos. Very trustworthy and kind. I think I've found a go-to sitter! Thanks again.”

About: I have one dog myself! I enjoy puppies of all ages, and believe all dogs are puppies. I’d love to take your dog for a walk! I’m currently working part time in healthcare and my schedules rotate but I am available most mornings. I am happy to accommodate and find what works for us. I am happy to meet and learn about your pet and what works best for you and your furrbabies to ensure a happy and healthy visit.
“We are so lucky to have found Heath. Heath is very responsive, sends lot of photos, and has been very accommodating with our schedule including last-minute out-of-town trips and efficient key pick-ups. Our cat, Olive, simply loves Heath! We feel very secure knowing that she is in great hands, and so appreciate the flexibility that gives us. We have already rebooked Heath several times and plan to continue to do so as long as we can!”


About: Hi my name is Neriah and I'm a second year college student at CCRI. I've had dogs every since I was 6. I currently have one dog named Apollo. I also have 3 cats.

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 :)
“Jayla did such an amazing job, sent tons of pictures which I loved, and perfectly followed my annoyingly specific instructions for 4 different cats that all have different requirements. She made me feel super comfortable with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend her, and plan to rebook in the future!”

About: I grew up in a family that loved dogs of all kinds! Since I was a child I’ve walked, played, and cared for dogs. Currently I’m a dog mom to two big labs who I’ve had since they were puppies and have trained me well on how to take good care of furry friends. I would love to walk or sit for your pet!

I’m used to giving my dogs lots of treats for good behavior and having dogs on furniture.

About: I had the enriching experience of living with a curious & stubborn miniature dachshund for 16 years - he was my “little brother”! As I matured I encouraged him to walk and was patient with interpreting his communication & his unique needs as he aged. I have also been able to visit with and care for a playful 3 year old chihuahua when I visit home in NJ. I am currently a graduate student in an occupational therapy doctorate program in Providence, RI. I am on my summer fieldwork which is full time in CT Monday - Thursday. Until August my Fridays are free, and I have minimal homework on weekends now so I am eager to get outside with some amazing dogs! I am not currently offering to bring your dog into my home for care. If I were to care for your dog in your home, I would abide by your ground rules and make sure we are in agreement before continuing.
“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.”

“First time using this app!! Latifa was fantastic, I felt at ease knowing that my cats were taken care . I was given daily check ups and pics. I would highly recommend using Rover & LATIFA A.”

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.
“Luke drops in regularly to care for our two Great Pyrenees. One is blind and very scared of strangers and Luke has done a great job bonding with her at her pace. Even the cats come out to say hi when Luke is around!”

Genesis was amazing with my furry baby. She was kind and patient with my little fur baby. He took some warming up and Genesis was able to meet him where he was and provide excellent care. Genesis will be my first choice when needing care for my pup. Thanks again.

I teach full time in another state which requires a super long day on a weekly basis. Jayla has become an indispensable and reliable support to help me get through the semester. She is on time, communicative, and great with my pup. Highly recommend!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Rebecca took excellent care of my slightly anxious and socially awkward rescue cat named Garage while I was away. I was a little worried leaving her for 3 days because of her behavioral issues, but found that she was in great hands with Rebecca. We will definitely be requesting her again!

Sarah and Amy were so awesome while I was away from my cat for 10 days. They were in daily contact with me with plenty of great photos to pull at my heartstrings. They really gave that extra love to my cat which is exactly what I would hope for but never expected. I’ll definitely book with them again in the future.

Annemarie was wonderful for our two drop-in visits! She was professional, reliable, and clearly very comfortable with our dogs. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and really appreciated the updates and peace of mind while we were away. She followed all instructions, was attentive to their needs, and made the whole process feel easy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and caring pet care!
