Pet care experience
RI Pet Sitter | Walks & Snuggles
I've had dogs in my life, from diapers through college, and miss living a home with one - walks, couch snuggles, all of it. I've cared for family dogs for years, very familiar with strict feeding schedules, medication routines, and keeping dogs secure and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own, bringing lifelong animal experience and total reliability to the table. Whether your pup needs a calm buddy at home or a companion for nature trails and beach walks, I'm here to give them my full attention!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for dogs right in their own space, keeping their routine, food, and comfort uninterrupted. I follow feeding and medication instructions to the letter, stick strictly to your house rules, and make sure potty breaks happen every two to four hours, unless otherwise specified. Since my home isn't set up for four-legged guests, I focus entirely on house sitting and walks so your dog stays cozy at home with constant, 1-1 attention the whole time.

Schedule
I work a flexible schedule with regular work from home days, meaning your dog gets full daytime company instead of hanging out alone. I can wrap up a bit early around 2 or 3 PM for solid afternoon walks and undivided attention if needed, and my evenings are wide open. Weekends are flexible, with a sweet spot for early morning to late afternoon adventures!

- Before a stay, I like to know their normal feeding schedule and any food or treat restrictions, how often they need potty breaks, and whether they're on any medication or supplements. I also ask about leash manners and reactivity (other dogs, bikes, strangers), any triggers or comfort items, and house rules to adhere to.
