House Sitting Hope

“Michelle was amazing, as usual. I wonder whether our dogs are secretly unhappy to see us return since they know Michelle won’t be coming back that day!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was young. I had a cat of my own for 5 years, watched my neighbor's cat and dog many times when she went away, and now I have my own dog. I've trained my own dog to do many tricks and we have so much fun playing frisbee in the park. I'm also a farmer so I'm passionate about caring for animals and making sure they live a good life. I'm looking to walk dogs in the evenings and on weekends, and can watch dogs/cats over night at the owner's house. I want to make sure your animal is as comfortable as can be while you are away! I'm located near a few parks and also enjoy running so I'm a very active person to care for your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I will do whatever I can to make sure your pet has an enjoyable time while you are gone, and I want to stick to your pet’s normal routine!

“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”

“Sarah treated my sweet girls with immense care. She was very communicative and sent me pictures of all of my pets, even my kitties who she didn't have to take care of. I will absolutely book with Sarah again”

“Jayla did a fantastic job going above and beyond watching our dog for the week. Jayla kept us updated throughout the week and kept the house in order. We will definitely be booking again in the future.”

About: I live in Providence with my 12-year old rescue dog, Mowgli. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, with a deep appreciation for the patience, consistency, and attention each pet deserves. I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, including puppies and kittens, and senior dogs and cats, having had two senior cats myself who lived to the age of 22 years old. Im comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines, and my goal is always to make sure you feel confident that your pets are in good hands and that they’re getting the same level of care and attention you’d expect from someone you know and trust. I have open availability throughout the day to walk, play with. and care for your pet, including early mornings, midday, nights, and weekends as needed. My goal is to keep your pets steady in their routine and schedule, and make sure your home stays in the condition you left it and expect.

About: Formerly Haley and Kelly, now Kelly with appearances from Haley! Pet care in your home or mine. Boarding at my home is welcome to (preferably - but temperament depending) smaller animals that my chill, small, senior dogs and independent cat are safe with. Pet care in YOUR home - the criteria above doesn't apply. Let's have a meet and greet to see if we're a good fit! ....................................................................... After leaving some beloved clients back home in Portland, OR, I'm beginning my pet sitting journey here in Rhode Island! I left some beloved clients back home in Portland, OR when I moved to RI two years ago - I look forward to meeting new folks in the area and providing the same, high standard of care. In addition to my lifelong history of providing love and care for animals, I have 5 years of experience working in a busy dog daycare setting, several years in a progressive and education forward pet store and 20 years experience providing care and boarding animals in my home and theirs. Safety and comfort are absolute top priorities when it comes to my own pets and the pets I care for. I'm experienced at providing specialized and homemade diets as well as administering medication to cats and dogs. Haley and I have been pet first aid certified through Dove Lewis in Portland, OR. With a very tiny, blind, senior Yorkie of our own, I understand the vulnerability of our pets and can provide the care they need to feel safe and happy while their families are away. A special emphasis on special needs pets and seniors, as we have years of experience with them. I'm currently taking time off work until early 2027. I'm a student full time but I have a ton of flexibility as I continue online/virtual coursework that allows me to work anywhere, anytime. I have a large, fenced in backyard where we spend time gardening and doing yard work in the spring/summer. I frequent Dexter park often and look forward to bumping into the other park regulars and their dogs. My dogs are low energy seniors who prefer to spend most of their time inside, especially in the colder months - (along with Haley working from home with them part time) this allows me to give most of my attention to the pets I'm sitting. Bug is a young, independent cat who grew up with Izzy and Stevie and often behaves more like a dog than a cat - she stays inside the home full time unless supervised with a harness/leash.

“Liana has always been an amazing sitter for my dog and I appreciate the work she does! She communicates well with me and sends me lots of pictures.”

“Nadia was super nice and mindful with max’s needs. She and her entire family took care of max during Christmas and made him feel welcome (he has separation anxiety). She sent me constant updates with pictures and videos and even asked for detailed instructions before dropping max. I will definitely book Nadia for max in the future. She’s the best dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for them feels second nature. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve helped with puppy training, administered medications, and cared for senior dogs with mobility issues. I’m dependable and make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I hope you’ll trust me to take great care of your four-legged friend! I work Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., but I’m available before and after work and some days around lunchtime. I’m fully available on weekends and for overnight house stays. When I’m staying at a client’s home or stopping by for walks, I treat pets like they’re my own. I stick to their routines to keep things familiar. I make sure they get plenty of love and exercise, and I always leave their space clean.

About: I used to work for a doggy daycare in Brookline MA and have had plenty of experience with a lot of different kinds of dogs. I have also been dog sitting for my brother for years and have watched many family pets. I can read dogs well and I know how to keep them happy and healthy I will keep a good eye on your pet as long as I am there. I can help whenever I am available! I love to be outside and get exercise with pets I follow all the rules of the pet owners household and keep a good eye on the pet. I can feed them, take them for walks and play with them as much as needed

About: I’ve taken care of so many different types of animals growing up. I have always had a compassion for caring for animals and providing them with the love and care that they deserve. I am currently a student in college who works part time, while taking in online classes. So a lot of my time will be spent creating bonds with your beloved animals! I can follow any certain safety procedures and make sure your fuzzy friend stays safer than ever, because that’s what I would want with my babies.

“Mae was amazing for accommodating us so last minute and taking such great care of our favorite girl during the day. Our dog is very shy and Mae handled her with such sweetness and kindness. She gave her breakfast for us, and took her for two 30 minute walks during the day and so we thankfully came home to a tired out pup after a long work day. Thank you so much Mae!”

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.

“Sophie house sat for our almost 2 year old pup Leo for the weekend and she was wonderful! Sophie is especially communicative and provided such peace of mind while we were away from home. Even when challenged by Leo with a sleepless night, Sophie was understanding of the adjustment for Leo and maintained a great attitude. We would use Sophie again without hesitation and look forward to relying upon her services in the future!”

“Reese is absolutely fantastic. Both Bertha and Milo absolutely loved her. She stayed with them for the week and took care of all of their needs. I would highly recommend and will be sure to contact her again when I need another sitter.”

About: Hi, I'm Nidhi (she/her)! I live in Pawtucket and offer dog walking and drop-in visits around Providence and nearby towns. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I serve on the Board of Directors at the Providence Animal Rescue League (PARL), and I've volunteered at shelters, fostered animals in need, and cared for many pets over the years. At home, I have a spicy 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix, Smurf, who I adopted 5 years ago. Training and socializing her has taught me a lot about patience, reading body language, and helping reactive or nervous dogs feel safe. Shy, energetic, or a little opinionated, your pet is in good hands with me :) I know how much it means to trust someone with your pet. I'm reliable, I communicate clearly, and I follow your routine closely, whether that's feeding times, medications, or a dog who needs a slow start on walks. I'm typically available weekday evenings, early mornings, and weekends. I'd love to set up a meet-and-greet so your pet and I can get to know each other!

“Julia helped us out last minute when we couldn't find anyone to stay with our dogs overnight. She was great! She communicated with us and took good care of our 2 goldendoodles. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Samantha is a great pet and house sitter. She took care of my dog and cats with great care and attention. Everyone was healthy and fine when we came home. The house was well taken care of as well, clean and neat. The communication was also very good, pictures sent and response time was also prompt. I defiinitely recommend her and would hire her again.”

“Amy did a wonderful job with Lexi! Lexi can be anxious with new people but she seemed very comfortable with Amy and had a great time! Amy was also excellent about communication and sending photos of Lexi to us.”
