Dog Sitting in Hope

“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: I bring 9 years of experience as a trusted pet sitter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, and attention to detail, I love walking dogs and spending time with animals I work full time as a certified dental assistant. My availability are Wednesdays (my day off from work, but I tend to work half a day) after 5pm on weekdays, and full availability on weekends When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize creating a calm, comfortable, and stress free environment. I stick to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I ensure their water bowls are always full, provide plenty of love and attention, and clean up after them. I’m also happy to send regular updates with photos to keep you reassured while you’re away

“Brittany was great and very flexible with the booking. My cat Finn doesn't warm up to new people very well but within 2 visits, he and Brittany were pretty much best friends. She sent updates, pictures, and gave me the confidence that she was taking great care of Finn.”

“Jamie did a drop-in for our pup and we couldn't be happier. She took great care of him, re-filled his water bowl, sent great pictures, picked up his #2s, and even let us know about a wayward tennis ball that ended up in our neighbors yard during a game of fetch! We'd definitely have her come again for additional visits in the future.”

“Miranda has been wonderful with drop in visits for my dog. She is easy to work with, great communication, reliable, and clearly enjoys her work and spending time with animals.”

“I don’t want to leave a great review because we want to keep Carolyn all to ourselves, but we have too! Words can’t not describe how grateful and thankful we are that we had Carolyn watch our dogs. We had an emergency situation with one of our pups and she went above and beyond to give the best care and love to our dogs. Carolyn brought our dog to the emergency vet, waited til she was out of surgery and brought her home. Administered medication and communicated with us every step of the way. She offered great advice while never making us feel bad or guilty for being on vacation. 10 out of 10 and will definitely be using her again!”

I have also been fostering dogs through FOHA RI since 2013 and have had many dogs in my home. I have cared for, taken to adoption events, processed applications, and completed the adoption process for all the dogs in my home as fosters. I have also dog sitted many friends/family members dogs over the years. I mainly work from home so I'm around to keep your pups company throughout the day.

I have a very friendly Golden Retriever mix who loves other doggies and will be happy to keep them company! Your dogs will have free range of my home as well as the care and love they deserve ❤️

About: For years now, I have shared my life with an adorable pit bull and a bull terrier who have always filled my home with joy. Thony, has been my constant companion, who has taught me patience and persistence, while Dango's vibrant personality, the bull terrier, has taught me how to give love, attention and above all discipline. I have learned to identify their particular needs, whether through play, walks or special care to keep them healthy and happy. Caring for them has allowed me to develop skills in positive training, socialization and basic medical care. In addition to having been caring for several other dogs of family and friends as they have come to know my connection with dogs and the dedication I can attend to them. I am committed to ensuring that each dog feels loved and safe, creating an environment where they can enjoy their time to the fullest. I am currently working as a leader in a warehouse in Warwick and I am available to work at the end of the shift. During the weekends I have complete availability. Dog care will be a personalized experience, either in your home or mine. At your home, I will make sure to follow their routine and give them the comfort they know, making sure they have access to fresh food, water and daily exercise. We will enjoy recreational walks in nearby parks, where they can socialize with other dogs. In my home, I have a large and friendly space with areas for playing and resting. I offer a calm environment, where every dog can relax and feel at home. I am available to take care of any special needs they may have, whether it is medication or extra play time. My priority is that each pet feels loved and well cared for, which guarantees their happiness and well being.

About: I’m a lifelong pet parent and animal lover, born and raised in Rhode Island. I have a 9-year-old cat who has been my baby since she was 3 months old. I also live with and care for my parents’ 4-year-old rescue dog. I have previously raised 3 dogs, and pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I even volunteered at a farm for a few summers, where I looked after everything from horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, and more.

I am incredibly caring and responsible, and I love animals with all of my heart. I guarantee that your fur baby will be safe and cared for with me 🥰 I’m currently focusing on pet care as my primary profession, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m happy to speak with you about your needs and figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet(s). “Wow, usually [pet’s name] NEVER goes up to strangers or lets someone new pet them!” This is something I’ve heard time and again throughout my life. I’m not saying I’m a Disney princess, but…👀 All joking aside, I do take pet care very seriously, and make sure to meet animals where they’re at, never pushing them to be best friends right away. I will use patience and gentleness to gain your pet’s trust. While I do not offer boarding services at my own home, I will treat your home and your pet’s space with the utmost care and security. I am happy to talk through what this looks like for you and your pet depending on your needs.

This blend of fresh enthusiasm, dedication to continuous improvement, and a personalized touch ensures that every pet receives safe, loving, and thoughtful care. I plan to integrate pet care by setting aside specific times each day for walks, play, and grooming. This flexible schedule will evolve gradually, ensuring my pet gets consistent exercise, social interaction, and attention throughout the week while I adjust to my changing commitments. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I adhere closely to their specific guidelines—maintaining the pet’s routine, ensuring their space is clean and comfortable, and giving them individualized attention. I also monitor their behavior and health, keeping both the pet and owner informed, so each animal feels loved, secure, and well-cared-for in every setting.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover! I'm the person who you can't find at the party because I'm hanging out with the dog. Our pets bring so much joy to our lives, and I believe they deserve the best care in return. I strongly believe in respecting the owners boundaries - asking before approaching a dog in the street, checking before giving treats or food, and adhering to the schedule that the owner has set. You know what your pup needs better than anyone! I have some experience in dog training, and I've even taught my cat 12 tricks so far! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I can easily make myself available to help ease the stress for those who don't have such a luxury. Your pets safety and well-being are my top priority.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and am currently living with a wonderful pup, Sherlock, who is an incredible, calm, and friendly 50lb hound-mix. Given my experience living and caring for dogs, many friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with walking their dogs or pet-sitting their houses, and it's something I quite enjoy. I am a school teacher, so during this summer season, I have flexible availability to care for your loved ones whether it is for a nice day hike or at night for cuddles and protection! I live in an apartment right across from a park with empty fields and woodland trails. I love walking and would be more than happy to help you while gaining a trail partner in the process! And walks aside, we know all pets need a little bit of love, play, and a responsible caretaker, of which I'd be happy to provide!
