About: Prepared for all dogs large and small. I have experience with puppies and seniors, large and small breeds. My entire life I have had dogs; Golden Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, multiple mutts, Siberian Huskies. Anything your dog can throw at me, I'm prepared to handle! I'm currently in between jobs and am available for pet walking or sitting most days whenever needed. I have Siberian Husky named Frank who I walk 3 times a day for about 7 miles total. He is incredibly friendly and is a good walk buddy, but can also be left at home if not compatible . I'm more than aware that some dogs have no tolerance for Husky's. If house sitting Frank would always be left at my home. If caring for a dog in their home, it would always just be me and the dog. I follow all house rules, and am very adaptable to both the needs of the dogs, and dog owners. In terms of walks, I spend so much time on my daily walks with my dog, that I am hyperaware of warning signs from other dogs and am able to avoid any potetial confrontations.

About: I'm a lifelong pet caregiver with over 10 years of daily, hands-on experience caring for dogs. From childhood, my home included dogs and cats. Caring for them has been part of my everyday life. Not just feeding and exercise, but understanding personalities, the importance of routines and individual needs. I'm the pet parent of 3 French Bulldogs whom I've raised from puppyhood. They are now 10 months, 10 years and my eldest just passed the 🌈 bridge. Raising them has given me extensive experience across all life stages. From energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring daily medications, extra patience and care. Because of this, I'm acutely aware of the unique needs and care of brachycephalic breeds, including breathing sensitivities, temperature regulation appropriate exercise levels and age-related health needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide constant supervision (if necessary), flexibility and plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm available for dog walking, drop in visits, day care, and boarding. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and specific routines. My own dogs require precise care plans, so I fully understand how important it is that your pet's instructions are followed exactly. Keeping your pet’s routine as close to how it is when they’re home with you is a priority for me. Following familiar routines helps alleviate their stress, build trust and ease into comfort while they are in my care. My dogs are friendly and accustomed to being around other pets. All of my dogs are intact, so I ask that owner's disclose whether their dogs are intact or in heat prior to booking. This allows me to thoughtfully plan and recommend the most appropriate service - such as visits to your home instead of boarding in mine - so everyone remains safe, comfortable and stress free. Pets in my home are welcome on furniture and I aim to make them feel as at ease as possible during their stay. I use careful management and positive handling techniques to ensure harmony when pets share space. I'm always mindful of body language and prioritize their safety and comfort. When your pet is in my care, you can expect regular photo updates and communication from arrival to departure so you always feel informed and reassured. I take pride in being attentive, reliable and genuinely invested in your pet's well-being! I work from home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible. I can take 2-3 breaks during the work day to walk your pet if they are staying with me, or stop by your home for potty and walk breaks. If they are staying with me for day care or boarding, I can meet your pet where they are in terms of potty, walk, and play breaks, as well as forced nap times, if necessary. I have several ways to manage the space in my home between pets, to ensure everyone is safe, comfortable and happy. I have 3 crates, baby gates, several pet beds and endless toys. Our yard has a fenced in area to ensure safe potty breaks.

About: Hi! My name is Nikki, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily care or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust above all else. I respect your space as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels calm, comfortable, and secure in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and ensure your pet sticks to their routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is not only safe, but also genuinely cared for and loved in your absence.

“Stevie-Rae was great! She responded quickly, took great care of my big dog, took pictures/left detailed cards, and even went a little long on some of the walks. Thank you!”

About: I had a cocker spaniel named Gibby for 12 years. I’ve had experience walking my family and friends dogs which ranged from 6lbs-100lbs. I have also fostered and taken dogs out for the day from our local animal shelter! I am currently a senior at Salve Regina University, I also have a part time job at Brandy Melville. However, I do not have classes everyday of the week which makes my schedule more accommodating! I live in downtown Newport right next to King Park which is one of my favorite spots to walk to especially with a furry friend!

About: I grew up having dogs and cats and love them both. Taking care of them from kitten/puppyhood to the end of their life. This helped me to understand how their needs change with age. During my time living oversees I rescued several street animals and have brought 4 of them back here to the US. In caring for the animals of others while they are away I've learned how to gain their trust as the newcomer. Animals are a total joy. My primary secular work is from home and flexible, so I'm able to accommodate your schedule as needed. Pet care is scheduled regularly throughout my day and week. Since all pets and their owners are individuals I respect the routines already in place to the best of my ability. But I always spend time petting and playing with them rather than just doing the basics.

“Great with the our sweet but not well trained dog. He was also very personable and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend.”

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up with a family dog & cat taught me how to care for pups/kitties of all personalities, and now I have fur babies of my own who are my whole world. I'm experienced with walking routines, feeding schedules, and have dog/cat sat many times for friends and family and am comfortable doing both. I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your dog, so I'm here to give your pup or feline the same love and attention I give mine. There's nothing I enjoy more than helping fellow animal parents and making sure their fur babies are happy, safe, and spoiled while they're away! I currently work in the Hospitality Industry for a local hotel group, but am completely free evenings and all day on Sunday's & Mondays. I am very flexible though and willing to accommodate! I know pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I'll maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I'm very flexible and will follow your instructions exactly how you'd like – from feeding schedules to how much affection to give (or respectful space if they're shy). I'll keep their area clean and send you updates so you have peace of mind. I love and care for every pet like they're my own, so you can trust they're in good hands. I can also water plants, bring in mail, or help with any other small tasks to keep your home running smoothly while you're away.

About: I’m detail-oriented and observant—cats are subtle, and I notice the small things that matter. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll flag anything unusual right away. Most importantly, I don’t force interaction. Whether your cat wants playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone reliable to keep their routine steady, I meet them where they are. I have full availability on weekends, which allows for extended visits, longer walks, playtime, and flexible scheduling. During the weekdays, I’m available in the mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for breakfast and dinner feedings, walks, medication schedules, and nighttime check-ins. Because I plan my day intentionally, I’m punctual, dependable, and able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine—something that helps reduce stress, especially for cats, seniors, and pets who thrive on consistency. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. I focus on consistency, safety, and individualized attention so pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions exactly—feeding schedules, walks, litter or potty routines, medications, and any house rules. I keep the environment clean and calm, make sure pets get appropriate exercise or playtime, and monitor their behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, structured play, and rest time. I introduce pets slowly if others are present, separate when needed, and adjust care based on age, energy level, and temperament. Across all services, I prioritize clear communication, attention to detail, and treating every pet as an individual—not a one-size-fits-all routine.

“Lilly was kind and patient, and was willing to give our dog extra time to warm up to her, which we sincerely appreciated!”

“Margaret is wonderful! Super communicative and kind. My pup loves her. I used Margaret’s services for a few weeks will I was recovering from an injury. She even came and went on her own when needed if I was on zoom calls”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have taken care of both for other people! My experience includes drop in visits, week long overnights, and walks! I currently work full time so I’m primarily offering evening services and weekend services. I am also open to early mornings if asked in advance! While in your home, I will maintain your pet’s typical routine while also keeping the household clean. I follow any instructions/guidelines that are provided and make sure to give extra attention to pets while their owners are away!

About: Dogs are more than just dogs; they’re family. Worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and histories: some happy, some horrid. I am a APDT(Association of Professional Dog Trainers) certified, primarily employing obedience and behavioral training with calming strategies all founded on positive reinforcement. I have studied dog behavior and canine body language to better understand their social cues and what they are trying to say. I have learned a great deal, mostly from the dogs. They truly are remarkable teachers. The greatest lesson I have learned is if you wish to have positive relationships, and live in the moment – think and talk “dog”. Dog training and pet sitting are my full-time job. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for those last-minute pet care needs. I pride myself on providing the best possible care for your precious four-legged family members because I understand how important they are to you. At Wag A Tail Pawsitting, I pride myself on going the extra mile. You’ll have the peace of mind knowing that your dog is safe and properly exercised. You’ll bridge a stronger bond with your healthy and happy family member. You’ll be guilt-free and content, knowing your pets are our top priority. I am just a phone call away.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. I am able to feed, walk, and provide overnight care. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs animals. I also have experience with chickens! I am currently a college student and part-time worker with a flexible schedule. I am unavailable from 10-5 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays due to class schedule. I have a fenced in yard and leashes for walks. I do not do boarding at my own home because my dog is not dog friendly!

About: I love dogs and cats and I have pet sit for family and neighbors for over 10 years. I live in a house in a low-traffic residential neighborhood. Your pet will have access to the first and second floor of the house and all of the furniture, unless you request otherwise. I will spend all day with your pet and establish a care plan with you, including number of / length of walks. Your pet can sleep anywhere in the house. I do not currently have any pets and only take one client at a time. I work full time, so I’m mostly available Friday evening through Sunday evening. However, this may be flexible on a case-by-case basis. I will spend all day with your pet while they are staying with me. I do not have any pets, so your pet(s) will be the only ones in my house at that time. I have a front and back yard and low-traffic neighborhood great for walking.
