Dog Sitting Johnston

“I connected last minute with a Gary after my scheduled petsitter cancelled the day before my vacation. It worked out great. Gary was engaged and provided pictures each day. He took great care of my cats and definitely won them over. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary as well as use his petsitting service again in the future. Thanks Gary!!!”

“Julia is very communicative and always on time. She is always available to help last minute which is so refreshing! Thank you!!”

About: From childhood, my heart has held immense compassion and love for all furry friends!🤍🥹 I started out as a bather at a grooming facility at 14. This helped me realize the joy that I receive working with animals! I then took a program focusing on veterinary medicine, which sparked a new outlet for me to improve the lives of pets, and care for them in a different way🦋. I also worked for a veterinary emergency room in MA, where I worked alongside the amazing technicians, saving the lives of critical patients 🩺. I also worked for pet clinic at a nonprofit humane society, doing free vaccine clinics, taking in puppies & kittens that were left in harmful conditions, and giving them a chance at a beautiful and safe life with their forever family🩷. I also worked as a veterinary technician at a local animal hospital, seeing & providing veterinary care for all kinds of amazing creatures like guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, you name it!🐾 With a patience heart, and extensive experience with animals that require special attention due to medical conditions, behavioral challenges, and all their special little quirks that make them unique, you can ensure that with me, your pet is loved abundantly and in a safe environment! 🐕 🐓🐾🤍🐈‍⬛ 🦜 🐹 🩵 I’m currently pet sitting full time so my schedule is very open! I have a very flexible and broad schedule, with lots of time to care for your beloved pets!🩷🐾 As a diligent pet sitter, your instructions and regimens for your pet will be followed in order to mimic the amazing and unique care you give to your pet when you’re home! It can be overwhelming or difficult for your pet to acclimate to a new person in their environment. My approach is to make them feel like they are still safe, still loved, and still getting the same meals, treats, and exercise they get when you’re home. Feeding them at the same times, making sure they get those rewards when they do a great job, and any special instructions you provide will be followed with care.

About: Hello there, I am an experienced pet sitter located in North Providence. I have my own home with a lovely yard, I'm retired, so I'm home the majority of the day so your pup will not be left alone for more than a few minutes if at all. I provide a caring, calm, safe environment to care for your special friend. Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life, and I have been sitting other peoples pets professionally for about 4 years now. I adore all kinds of dogs & animals in general and very much enjoy caring for peoples pets. Being retired allows me to have the time to dedicate myself to providing all the love & attention your furry family member deserves. I am very comfortable sitting all types of dogs, all ages & breeds are welcome. You may relax & rest assured that your loved ones needs are being met by a true animal lover with many years of experience as a dog owner and pet sitter & caregiver. My home is hardwood, some tile in the kitchen, and is always cleaned & pup proofed. I have plenty of space for your pup to romp and a beautiful yard to walk them in, with trails & parks nearby. I provide solo accommodations if your dog prefers being being the center or attention, and also take multiple dogs if they are from the same household. If you have any questions please contact me, I look forward to meeting you & your special friend soon! I began pet sitting after I retired, I am home 95% of the day, so your pet will be not be left unsupervised for more than a few minutes at the most. I am very loving, laid back, affectionate, & patient with the pets I take care of. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, we do our walks back there as well as spend time in my outdoor pen area when the weather is nice. When we are outdoors the pups are always on their leashes, and we avoid the main road just to be extra safe. I have an adorable 3 year old female Maltipoo named Ellie. She is as sweet as can be and loves to make new friends. When your pup comes to stay they are welcome to explore the entire house, it is safe and completely puppy proofed. They are allowed to snuggle on the couch, or wherever they are comfortable. I have plenty of beds, blankets, toys, & treats. We go for walks every two hours for tinkle breaks, and I like to take the dogs on a nice long walk in the mornings after breakfast and again after dinner. My little Ellie the Maltipoo loves to play, however is only 9 lbs so she is very gentle, she loves to make friends. I am comfortable administering medication or supplements if necessary, I have experience working with elderly dogs, and dogs on different medications as well. I am comfortable with dogs with health issues such as allergies, diabetes, and I am certified in pet first aid & CPR. I am comfortable with all age ranges, from puppy to elderly. I work with a few of both and they are equally adorable. If your dog has a special routine at home that you would like followed, such as crating, no furniture, special diets such as home cooked food. During mealtimes I separate Ellie & whomever is staying or with us for daycare. I have gates so that each dog can eat comfortably as well as preventing them from eating one anothers food. There is a beautiful trail nearby, with your permission the dogs do enjoy a nice stroll, and I take my dog quite often. Its a very mellow environment here, the dogs seem to enjoy coming & we have a lot of fun.

“Althea did a fantastic job looking after our cat while we were on vacation! We especially appreciated the photos she sent every time she dropped in.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. First, a yellow lab named Lucy & then another named Evie. Now, my family has taken on a Bernese Mountain Dog named Josie who is just the goofiest ever. In all the years of having a dog, I’ve been able to help out on walks, taking them to appointments and just lovin’ on them. With Josie, I have helped crate train her and teach her tricks in her puppy years and now being 3, I take her on daily walks (sometimes she walks me, she’s so strong!), car rides, to appointments, etc. My sister describes our relationship as “besties.” No matter the pup, I love being their friend! I have been able to watch different pups, young and old, small and big & love every second with any of them. I’m currently working part time and have availability to love on and care for any pups or cats! I am always happy to shift things around to get to walk, watch, play or stay with any of your pets. I currently cannot house pets in my home since I just moved here and there are currently no pets allowed :( but I am more than happy to travel to your home to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. I know how important routine is to pets (especially dogs) and like to know that they feel safe in their environment and schedule. Especially for pets I’ve just met, I ease into their space and let them warm up to me so they feel safe. When it comes to walking pups, I let them go at their own pace and always make sure they’re leashed with treats on hand. I am always down for a pet snuggle too if they let me!

About: I’m an attentive and reliable dog walker who enjoys spending time in the woods and parks. Your lovely pet will enjoy the best nature walk with me! When I’m not working, I like spending my time outdoors as much as possible and attending to dogs is a perfect opportunity to get out more. Whether I’m walking or dog sitting, I make sure to follow the owners preferences and instructions. Each pet has their own specific needs and I’m eager to learn yours.

About: I have been a pet lover for my whole life. I have 20+ years of experience feeding, playing, training, and grooming them by myself. Also I have experience taking care of ill pets- blind, a heart issue, etc. for years. I'd love to be able to provide good care to your pets while you are away. I'm currently offering drop-in visits and dog walking. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give your fur baby the loving care they need. Your pet will have a safe and attentive visit and I will communicate regularly with you about how the visit went and how they were, and send pictures.

About: Dogs have been an integral part of my life and my love for them knows no bounds. Growing up around their limitless affection, wagging tails and warm hearts has shaped who I am today. Working from home 4 days a week allows me to be a constant presence for my dog and hopefully yours too! Our routine ensures that the dogs receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while I am working from home with them! I have a fenced in yard and one very friendly and playful pug Bella who will keep your pup company. Will only take 1 dog at a time.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including dogs, cats, rabbit, gerbils, and more. I started volunteering when I was 12 at my local humane society, where I would sit with dogs to comfort them while they wait for their forever home. While I was in college I also started to foster, I fostered 3 cats and a dog over several months. Since I have always had pets, I have helped train puppies, and with senior animal medical care. I have also worked with special needs/trauma (ex. epileptic, male aggression, previous owners abuse, anxiety). I have house sat for my parents, extended family, and family friends. I am looking forwards to cherishing your furbabies, their new best friend awaits! I have just moved back to the states after living in Europe with my partner. We are starting a new chapter and I want to use rover as a way to make money and to help us save for our next steps. It would be my main focus, in my very flexible schedule. As such I will be available for your pet's needs anytime and anywhere. I have worked with all kinds of animals with different needs and will be able to provide whatever you and your pet(s) require. I am fun-loving and friendly, with a huge soft-spot for any animal. My approach centers around trust-building with your pet, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm willing to visit your house multiple times a day and entertain your prescious babies, walk them multiple times, stay the night if necessary. I can take them to dog parks if they like that, parks if not. Your pet will barely notice that you are absent (besides missing their wonderful parent/s)!

I love to cuddle with my dog and take her on long afternoon walks! She is the sweetest most friendliest dog and doesn’t mind company. I also enjoy adapting to new routines as it allows me to better my care for all types of pups or feline friends!

About: Proud cat and dog owner, I’ve also been house/pet-sitting for friends and family throughout the years, I can help clip claws, administer medicine, go on walks, enrichment activities! I can do it all! Currently between full time jobs post-graduating college, so I am more than available for any of your pet sitting needs! You can reach me through Rover or my phone number! At home I have a pet friendly home, fenced in yard and even gates throughout the thresholds to make sure pets are monitored in a contained (large, free-roaming) area. I am someone who is very cautious when it comes to safety as well, always making sure doors are locked, electric devices are turned off, and that I know where the pets are at all times.

About: Growing up I always had a dog or two. I had worked at a dog daycare facility professionally for 8 years. During my time there, I've taken care of various puppies to their adulthood and senior dogs. Since the facility is cage-free, I dedicate myself to ensuring the dogs have fun, are safe, and love in our care. Currently, I have two medium and large dogs who constantly love to play, whether it is water play in the backyard, going on walks, frisbee or just relaxing in our backyard! I'm currently a nursing student on and a part time barista. I only work part-time for a few hours a day, usually morning until noon time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My two dogs are very friendly and social with other dogs. I have a two-level yard, a six-foot fence all around the yard, and a door your pups can easily access to potty or play. I can also provide in-house food unless your pups have allergies and need to improvise. My house is cage free but if you’d like your pet to be crate I can improvise that.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care that keeps your furry friends happy and healthy. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and special care needs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind, knowing that your beloved companions are in compassionate and trustworthy hand I follow your pets routine closely along so they feel secure, happy, and on schedule. Your pet’s comfort and consistency are my top priorities while you’re away. Pets are cared for in a loving home as if they were my own, no dog bed goes unused. Plenty of yard yard space to run around,

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. Mainly molosser breeds. I’m a very active person so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I can assist with teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, lay, leave it, and recall commands. Things you can expect under my care: walks, runs, and training if needed and requested. If given permission, dog parks and occasional trips to the beach depending on the weather and time under my care. I work full time Monday through Friday 5am-3:30pm so I recommend booking for the weekend for long stays. Shorter stays can be made during weekends between 3:30pm-6:30pm (length of care Monday-Friday may be negotiated) Care will be primarily conducted out in town as I do not have a yard. If home pets will be crated with scheduled potty times.

“Kaiya was so responsive and easy to work with. She took great care of my dog and sent great recaps. We would love to work with her again and definitely recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I’m Alana – a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for four-legged friends. I’ve never lived in a home without a dog. My very first pup joined our family when I was just five years old, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising and loving many wonderful pets. My fur baby, Luna, has been by my side for 16 years since she was just six weeks old – she’s my heart and soul! She recently passed away and it’s left my home feeling very empty which is why pet sitting will bring me joy. I also foster dogs from time to time that need a loving home until they find their forever family. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs (and other pets!) while their humans are away. It comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love it. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to give your dog the attention, companionship, and TLC they deserve throughout the day. What sets me apart? Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities A calm, pet-loving home environment with plenty of affection Daily availability and flexible scheduling A genuine passion for treating your pet like family Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just needs some company while you’re gone, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your fur baby! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day to give your pet plenty of love, care, and attention. your pet will always have a calm, watchful presence nearby. We also have a gentle four-year-old daughter who adores animals and is used to being around dogs, especially our own sweet senior pup. Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where they’ll never feel lonely. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I create a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home. Dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture — snuggles on the couch are encouraged here! I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for running, playing, and enjoying fresh air in a secure space. I also live just a short walk from a quiet park, ideal for safe and enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s energy level. Your pup will never be alone — I’m home during the day, and my husband works from home too. That means there’s always someone around to provide attention, belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m attentive to your dog’s needs, routines, and personality — whether they’re active and playful or a laid-back lounger. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, feeding routines, medication schedules, or preferences to make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Your dog will be loved, watched over, and cared for like one of our own — because that’s exactly how I treat them.

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!

About: I have assisted my mom’s dog care business for 15+ years taking care of dogs of every kind by walking, in home sitting, playing, feeding, etc I am available everyday most early mornings, middays and evenings for walking and nights especially on the weekends for house sitting. I walk a lot everyday so adding a dog would make it even better! I am very experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes. I can provide safe and reliable transportation for your dogs, and treats too!

“Abby and our mini poodle Ruby hit it off immediately. Abby bonded with her right away. She was quick to absorb the details of Ruby's routine and has done a great job! She is a good communicator, very responsible, and quickly responds to all our requests. She has been to our house a few times now and we will definitely have her back. A sign of a good visit - Ruby was calm and contact after and happy to nap the rest of the afternoon.”
