“Kimiko was great! She was very attentive to Sadie’s needs and asked good relevant questions. She sent plenty of photos and made sure she was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about Sadie at all!”


“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”


“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!”


“Tiara is the best. She's super flexible and understanding of scheduling, instructions, and time frames. She puts a lot of care and dedication into her work with dogs”

About: Hi, my name is Diane. I am retired and available to help care for your pets for daily sitting in your home and pet walking. If you have cats, I can do house visits to make sure they have food, water and change their litter box. Being a pet owner, I know how costly boarding facilities can be, not to mention that they are not getting one-on-one attention. I will take very good care of your pet with plenty of play time and I will send you pics daily! I have always had cats and dogs in my life. Currently I have a Beagle and a cat. I have also done international dog sitting. Take me anywhere you travel, so your pet is not alone while you vacation in the states or abroad. Feel free to contact me with any concerns and special needs your pet may have while in my care. I am available to sit with your pet(s) in your home while you are away. Very reliable and please view testimonials for your peace of mind. I am very happy to sit and walk with your pet(s) while you are away. Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have.

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

“Emma was so great with Coco! Coco enjoyed her time with Emma while we were away for a long weekend. She was happy to see us when we returned, but I think part of her wished it was Emma walking through the doors! Thank you, Emma!”


“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!”


About: Hi all! I’ve had years of experience with pups of my own, as well as fostering strays and ensuring they feel safe and loved for the time being. I adore dogs and building positive relationships with them. I will ensure your dog is loved and cared for and most importantly put first at all times. I’m currently working part time, but pet care seems less like a job and more of a highlight of my day! I would fit you into my schedule with planning and communication. By walking your dogs I will use the harness and leash as provided! When dropping in, I will follow the agenda left for me and follow through with it fully.

“Abby was very communicative and on time. Will book again”


“Madelin is absolutely wonderful. We’ve booked her multiple times and are so pleased. Our pup is always happy and relaxed when she’s taking care of her. We’ll definitely be rebooking whenever we need help. Highly recommend!”



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. After working in higher education for 15 years, I’m pursuing a career change, and can think of nothing better than caring for others' pets! 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.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 5. I currently have two dogs one 8 and one 7 at my parents home where I currently live. My brother and sister in law also have two dogs 2 and 1 years old. When my parents and them travel, I am in charge of the 4 of them at my house and we are all on a routine where everything is under control and still having fun. When needed, I do go to my brothers to take them for a walk and play with them to break up their day of being in the house. I am currently part time worker, so I have more free time during the week and figured I could use my time to help out dog lovers like yourself! For dog walking, I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet and yourself are satisfied with my job. I will be safe but fun at the same time making sure your pets are cared for properly.

“I've been boarding my cat with miss Diane for about 2 years whenever I go away on a trip. She takes great care of her and sends me pics sometimes! My cat is normally very shy but has warmed up to her nicely.”


Amy T.
“Amy has been cat sitting me for the better part of ten years. My cats absolutely love her and she treats them as if they were her own. She is dependent, reliable, and always ensures my cats have what they need along with an extra sprinkle of catnip. She has cat sat for extended vacations and always treats my home with care and respect. I swear the kitties are a bit disappointed when I return home and Amy is no longer their daily treat. I highly recommend Amy's services to anyone looking for a caregiver for their furry friends. She also has plenty of experience with dogs (not quite my cup of tea but the pups love her) and loves a long walk. I will continue to use Amy for her services as she has been invaluable over the years. Thanks Amy!”

Caitlin M.

“Caitlin is a kind and gentle individual. As a cat owner myself, I think it's amazing that her cat is so loving towards her. The relationship she shares with Amelia Pond (cat) only symbolizes her chemistry and love towards other animals. She is genuinely thrilled when crossing paths with dogs in public and I know she would be an excellent pet sitter or dog walker.”


Lia A.
“Lia lives next door to me. I often have her watch my dog when I am not home. My dog is always happy to see her. I watch her in her backyard with her own dogs and other dogs she is watching. She is very attentive and loving with them. She loves being surrounded by animals!”
