Cat Sitting Hillsgrove

“Ashley went above and beyond for my cats! I am so grateful for the care and attention to detail that she showed while visiting them. She was very communicative and put my mind at ease while I was away, sharing detailed status updates and photos from her visits. I knew my cats were in the hands of someone kind and responsible… that’s all I could have asked for!”

“Deidre was great. She was very compassionate and spent quality time with my cats. Salem, my shy cat, even came out to see her each visit. I will definitely use her again.”

Laurie D.

“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!”

“Kaylie has been amazing with my two kitties who are not the easiest to care for. She consistently sent photos and details daily of all of their happenings and knew exactly what to do to calm them down. She has been just a pleasure and I HIGHLY recommend her! I will be using her again for all of my trips!”

About: I've been responsible for taking care of pets ever since I can remember- cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. However, for the past few years I've been traveling a lot and so do not have any pets currently. Throughout the years, I've been a Vet Tech and adopted and fostered puppies through hospice dogs and several cats, and have had extremely friendly and reactive dogs. I'm willing to meet your pet where they are. I work from home and really enjoy my area of the world, so I tend to be a homebody during the week. I go for daily beach walks and enjoy swimming when it's warm enough. My neighborhood is great for walking, too. I love to get out and hike or explore on the weekends, but am also happy with projects around the house. High energy pups and couch potatoes are both welcome. I have a 4 foot fenced in yard and plenty of couch space. It's important to do what I can to help your pet be comfortable in a new environment, so I try to keep to their schedule as much as possible. I do have a large crate and room for you to bring your own if that works better. The ticks are out in force so please make sure your dog is on preventive. I cannot accept dogs with bite history or food/toy aggression.

“Emily was able to help check on my cats on short notice, which I really appreciate. Thanks, Emily!”

About: Hi! I'm Andolina, but everyone calls me "Nina" 😊 I have a degree in Animal Science and several years of experience as a veterinary technician. Working at animal clinics, and an emergency animal hospital, I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities and am comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, administering medications, special diets, and animals who need a little extra TLC. I'm the person who will happily send you way too many pictures while you're away, make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine, and give them plenty of attention and affection. If your pets are spoiled members of the family, we're probably going to get along just fine! I understand that finding and inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big deal. I'm a responsible, respectful adult who will treat your home with care, as I do my own. I keep things clean and secure while caring for your pet. I'm based in Warwick and am happy to travel to surrounding areas for house sitting. Whether your pet needs an overnight buddy, some snuggles and comfort while you're away, or someone experienced in caring for specific needs, I'd love to meet you both! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and good daytime availability throughout the week. This allows me to easily fit in walks, feedings, potty breaks, and check-ins while still giving each pet plenty of attention. I'm available for overnight stays two weeknights and one weekend night each week. I'm happy to follow your pets normal routine while you're away. I like to keep things as close to your pets’ normal routine as possible. I’ll follow whatever routines and house rules you have — Dogs on the bed? ✅ No animals on the furniture? ✅ Shoes off at the door and wipe your paws before coming in? ✅ Your pet gets a bedtime snack? Absolutely ✅ ✅ Whatever works in your home, works for me! And when it comes to your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d expect someone to have for mine. I’ll keep things clean, follow your house rules, and make sure everything is in order when you get home. Basically: you give me the instructions, I’ll follow them. Your pets get spoiled, your house stays respected, and everyone wins. 🐾

“As always Kassidy was amazing! The cats love her and she takes such good care of them! If anything ever goes wrong, like one of our cats demolishing a package of dried pasta, she handles it with grace and makes sure everyone is safe and taken care of! Thank you Kassidy!”

About: I've had several pets since I was young, but many of which I had to let go due to frequent moving and lack of accommodation. My forever friend however was a chihuahua belonging to my aunt/uncle that I loved dearly but unfortunately passed from old age. I have experience in basic command and obedience training. My main skillset is my patience, I believe that's a key trait for anyone looking to care for pets as they do require a lot of supervision and mistakes are inevitable until they can fully develop self-control and obedience through careful and loving training and attention. Currently, studying to obtain a skillset in programing, I have additional time on hand when outside of studies which I can use for additional income. Studies are at my pace, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and still fulfill my obligations. I'll ask some intake questions about any special care or concerns owners might have and follow up with additional questions about the pets regular habits. I can provide most forms of care, like a safe environment, regular feedings, medicine administration, basic training, bathroom breaks, and just general company. I have a yard, though it is partially open, but nearby is a fenced park that I can visit for those comfortable with their dog socializing with other canines.

“Meira was an incredible sitter for my two cats when I was away on vacation. She was always on time, consistent with updates, and more than willing to provide extra love and attention. I would definitely use her as a sitter again!”

About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up with dogs and cats, my family always treated our pets as family, and I’ve carried that same philosophy into adulthood. In 2019, I adopted a senior cat who was diagnosed with diabetes shortly after joining my family. For the next three years, I dedicated myself to making his golden years as happy, healthy, and comfortable as possible. From administering insulin twice daily and keeping up with his care routine to encouraging exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection, caring for him taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding an animal’s individual needs. After saying goodbye to him in September 2023, I decided to take a break from pet ownership, but my love for animals hasn’t gone anywhere! In recent years, I’ve continued caring for friends’ cats and dogs, and I’m excited to get back into a regular routine of spending time with furry companions before eventually adopting again. My friends and family like to joke that I’m an “animal whisperer” because animals of all personalities seem to gravitate toward me! Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or simply looking for a cozy spot to curl up, I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each animal unique. I approach every pet with love, patience, and respect for their routines and comfort levels. I know how much trust goes into leaving your furry family member in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Plus, I’m always excited for an opportunity to make a new fur friend! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, and I’m excited to make more time for caring for furry friends! I have a few upcoming weekend commitments, which are already reflected in my Rover calendar. I’m anticipating starting a new full-time position toward the end of October, which would likely have me working Monday through Friday, 8 AM–5 PM, with a mix of remote and in-office days. As my schedule becomes more established, I’ll continue updating my availability accordingly. In the meantime, I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work for everyone! I’ve always considered pets to be part of the family, and I believe that when someone entrusts me with their furry family member, they deserve the same love, patience, and attention I gave my own pets. Every animal has their own personality, preferences, and comfort level, and I think it’s important to respect that! Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or shy and takes a little longer to warm up, I’m happy to let them get comfortable at their own pace. I love learning what makes each pet feel happy and secure, whether that’s their favorite toys, approved treats, a familiar routine, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company. I also take the time to understand each owner’s expectations, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, household rules, and any behavioral considerations. For dogs, that includes understanding their leash manners and comfort around other animals. For cats, I’m especially mindful of their indoor/outdoor boundaries and preferred ways of interacting. Having cared for my own senior cat, Mit Mit, I know how important it is to maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m attentive to potential hazards, keeping things tidy, cleaning up after pets, and respecting the home I’m welcomed into. Above all, I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’ll always do my best to follow your instructions, respect your pet’s boundaries, and treat your home and furry family member with the same consideration I’d want for my own!

“Nicole was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my animals were taken care of. She took time to know my animals and send lots of pictures while I was away! I highly recommend Nicole if you want quality care for your pets.”

About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. I know the care that is required to keep them happy and healthy. I’ve also volunteered at a dog shelter. I’m currently a student at Johnson & Wales University and have classes from morning to early afternoon. I also work part-time at a coffee bar in Narragansett on Fridays and Saturdays in the morning. So I afternoon-evenings free all week. I have always had dogs and cats growing up and know what it means to properly take care of them. I also have volunteered at a dog shelter.

About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
