“Alana was amazing with our puppy, she sent so many great pictures and treated him so well! He was in very good hands and I didn’t worry at all while he was with her family! She has a wonderful home and a big yard, along with a 4 year old who is lovely with pets. Highly recommend boarding with Alana!!”
“Roxanna was AMAZING with my furbaby! Our family had to take a long trip and Roxanna was so great making my girl feel loved and comfortable while we were away! We would definitely leave our baby with her again!”
“Gilbert took great care of our black lab mix, Ember! She’s high energy and can be a lot sometimes, but Gilbert and his sweet pup Moon kept her entertained and happy! Recommend 100%!! Thank you so much Gilbert.”
“Excellent experience! We needed last minute overnight care for our two dogs and Kexin and Carlos were great. Very communicative and sent pictures/videos throughout, but also sent us home with a couple printed photos of our dogs enjoying their time. Their dog and cats were friendly with our dogs as well. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you!”
“Caylin and her husband were very nice and accommodating and gave daily updates and pictures. Kept contact and answered quickly. I would recommend highly. I would definitely use their services again.”
“Misael is amazing with our two energetic labs, we have had our boys stay with him many times over this past year and they always come home very happy and healthy. Highly recommend!”
“Oliver was so well taken care of. I got many updates and pics. Lots of exercise and love was given. They were super easy to communicate with as well and were flexible about drop off time to accommodate my work schedule. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Courtney is super nice and kept contact with me through out the day when I asked for updates and sent pictures. My dog loved being with her and we can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Courtney!”
“Marissa was very responsive and sent photos frequently. With this being my first experience boarding, I felt at ease knowing my pup was well cared for. We'll definitely be back. Thanks!”
“There are not enough words to express how happy we are with Simone. I almost don’t want to say how good she is so she will always have room for us!! This was our first time leaving our 8 month old puppy. Simone let us come over and meet her before we booked and while we were away sent over 10 pics a day! She even let my husband call her to check in!! She was receptive to how spoiled our dogs needs were and was even fine with his few annoying habits. I STRONGLY recommend Simone!!!!”
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.
“Julia was so so great with our Great Dane, Lucy! Taking her on walks and sending photos like she was one of her own and spoiling her all weekend in her walking-friendly neighborhood. Will definitely book with Julia again 💛.”
“Sierra did a great job watching Mia over the weekend for us! She was quick to respond to messages and gave us full confidence that Mia was in the best hands. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Tara was wonderful — we recommend her and would leave our dog in her care again. She communicated well and our dog was calm and happy when we picked her up after a two night stay.”
“Erin took great care of Lily during a four-night stay (and Lily’s first boarding in a good few years). Lily seemed comfortable and settled quickly, and Erin was very accommodating of her particular habits—including adjusting her schedule on the first day so Lily wouldn’t be left alone in an unfamiliar place, and being patient with her reluctance to go very far on walks when I’m away. I received photos and updates during the stay and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Erin also very kindly brought Lily home at the end of the booking. I’d be very comfortable having Lily stay with her again.”
About: I was a dog owner and I am an animal lover. I have previous experienced with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pet. I am employed full time during the week, but always free night on the weekends. I look forward to meeting your pets! Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. I work full time during the week with a flexible schedule. Available for dog walks and pet sittings after 5pm during the week and anytime on weekends. Dog boarding availability as well, just reach out with any questions. My house has a large yard, but I like to use the leash to teach pets where they should stay at all times. There’s a park nearby, which my 6 yr old likes to ride his bike to.
About: I am a lifelong dog parent with two wonderful rescues. I am first aid and CPR certified, can administer medication and have been certified for small animal (cats and dogs) massage and canine behavior. Exercise and stimulation are important to ensure dogs do not become bored and destructive or depressed. No two dogs are the same. One of my dogs loves to run while the other loves to swim! I have experience with my own and working with other reactive animals so you can trust me with your pets, whatever their personality may be. What one enjoys, another may not so I need to understand how your dog interacts with humans and other animals and how they play. I look forward to caring for your dog! My work schedule is dynamic and we can discuss your needs and how they fit with my life at the time you want to schedule. I have a fully fenced yard if you choose to have your pet stay with me. If you prefer to have your pet stay at home where they are more comfortable, I would want to understand how well they recall or how they stay safe in your home.
“My dog was instantly comfortable and appeared very happy to be hanging out with and in Denise’s care. We are very happy to have found the perfect local person and safe environment for Riggs when we are in need of a dogsitter. Thank you!”
“Savannah was very kind, she sent lots of photo updates, and was super flexible with us during our travels. She is our new go-to dog sitter for when we go away. Thanks Savannah!”

Crystal was amazing with Crouton! My cat is diabetic and needs a little extra care. Crystalmade the whole experience easy. She was super responsive, kept me updated, and sent pictures of Crouton every day, which I really appreciated while I was traveling. It was such a relief knowing Crouton was in good hands, and I could tell she was being well taken care of. I'm really grateful to Crystal and would absolutely book with her again. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their cat!
I can’t recommend Elba enough! I needed someone to watch my Pudding last minute while I was dealing with some personal issues, and she stepped up without hesitation. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures of him playing, having fun, and enjoying himself every single day, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him as if he were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby isn’t always easy, but Elba made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the love she showed Pudding. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend her! ❤️
Rafael was fantastic with Phoebe! From the very start, he was organized, transparent about his home setup, and had a great system in place to keep all the visiting dogs safe and comfortable. During her overnight stay, he sent tons of wonderful photos and videos, and it was so clear that Phoebe was happy, relaxed, and right at home with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so glad we found him. Highly recommend!
I had to board my dog, Humphrey, while I travelled for a work conference, and a nor'easter unexpectedly lengthened my trip by one day. I had to pick up Humphrey late, and I was so scared that it would be a problem. Nope. Jenni was kind, flexible, and returned Humphrey to me happy and sleepy (from all the fun). Her dog, Ripley, is also an absolute sweetheart. Highly recommend boarding with Jenni!
I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she started caring for my puppy, Sancocho, I knew he was in the best hands. Not only did she go above and beyond in meeting his needs, but she treated him with so much love, patience, and attention as if he were her own. What meant the most to me was the constant communication. She sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me he was happy, safe, and well cared for. As a puppy parent, that level of thoughtfulness and transparency made all the difference. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. She exceeded every expectation, and I came home to a well cared for, happy pup. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate, she is the one. I would trust her with Sancocho again in a heartbeat!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
