About: We have been together for more than 5 years and share our home with beloved pets. Growing up, Dirk was a vet tech, and his mother, a veterinarian, raised over 15 animals. Mari grew up with a sweet Yorkie. Thanks to our backgrounds, we have extensive experience with pets. To us, pets are more than just animals—they are our children. We will always treat your furry family members with the exact same love and respect that we show our own. While we are currently experiencing an empty nest and missing that daily companionship, we would love the opportunity to care for your pets, meet your needs, and share our love. Please let us know if you are interested, as we would absolutely love to help! Our family is ready to welcome your pet! Dirk is a student at the Naval War College with a very flexible schedule. Our 15-year-old son is in high school and always up for an adventure, while Mari is a stay-at-home mom from Japan who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Because we all love animals, pet care will be a true family team effort! Dirk loves to give plenty of affection, but he is also happy to play rough-and-tumble if your dog prefers active play. Our home features a fully enclosed, 1/3-acre backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. We also have access to great nearby walking areas for pets who love to get out and explore. Our family can easily adapt to various activity levels, personalities, and daily routines.
“Wendy was easy to work with and very responsive. She took care of our dog Atticus like he was her own. Atticus seemed very comfortable with her right away. She was very flexible with pick ups and drop offs. I would recommend her to anyone in the area! We would definitely use her services again.”
“This is the second time Millie has stayed with Madison. She always enjoys her time with Madison and Joseph and Millie’s two besties Norman and Salem. I did get cute updates/photos from Madison about Millie as well. I wholly recommend Madison as a trustworthy and reliable dog carer.”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! Our little furrie friend had a wonderful time and loved his daily walks. Lots of correspondence and pics from Christina to keep us in the know. Could not ask for more ...”
“Sharon was great! Took great care of our energetic rescue Jack for six days in her home, while we were traveling for February break. She provided regular updates, had thoughtful questions and communicated thoroughly throughout the process, was able to have him socialize with other dogs during their daily walks. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Natalia was great about sending pictures and videos of my dog while I was away. It was our first time leaving her and she helped put my mind at ease, and it made my kids happy to know their dog was well taken care of!”
“Jean was a wonderful sitter for Piglet!! Lots of pictures and messages. Everything went extremely well, except for a glitch with his food (my fault!) but she handled it with aplomb and creativity and all was well!! She is going to be my go to sitter from now on!!”
“Sarah and her family are super-sitters! She was flexible, accomodating, and most importantly made Leia feel like a member of their family. Our pooch really loved spending quality time at Sarah’s home and with other doggie guests. We will certainly book with Sarah again; and also refer her to friends who stay in RI. Overall, this was a great experience from initial communications through the entire week stay. Thank you so much Sarah and family for being so inviting and hospitable to Leia and our family.”
“Keasha and her son are the best ! First time using Rover and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. You can tell Keasha and her son love animals. Pictures and video updates were awesome to receive. Will definitely ask them to watch her again. Highly recommend.”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”

My experience includes horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small reptiles, as well as a variety of exotic animals.

I also have extensive experience caring for tropical birds, including Macaws and Cockatoos. In addition, I am comfortable caring for freshwater and saltwater fish, cats, reptiles, and a wide variety of other animals.

I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved animals with the attentive, loving care they deserve. I’m currently retired and enjoying a wonderful adventure traveling around the country while caring for beloved pets and homes along the way! 🐾❤️ I’ll be returning to Rhode Island at the end of September and am excited to start booking pet- and house-sitting opportunities again. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to hear from you! I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting some new furry friends, too. 🐶🐱🏡 When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your beloved pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home. 🐾❤️ As a trusted pet sitter, I provide personalized care based on your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I keep their normal schedule as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I believe pets are happiest in familiar surroundings, so I make staying home a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. I’ll also care for your home with the same respect and attention I give your pets, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your furry family members are in caring, dependable hands. 🐶🐱🐾
“Left my puppy with Erica for 4 nights. Needed her to stay an additional night and Erica was able to accommodate and take her! Never have to worry when my puppy is with her! Always getting updates and pictures of my puppy. We will definitely be a repeat client!”
“I felt very confident that Sassy would be well taken care of at Nadias and she was. I will definitely use her again in the future. She was very communicative sent pictures. Best of all I think Sassy had a ball. She enjoyed playing w/Nadia's 2 dogs. And she loved having Nadia's kids to play with also. She has a big beautiful back yard for the dogs to play in. I highly recommend Nadia.”

“Nadine has such a soothing and calming energy that she’d make the most anxious dog feel at ease! She took such great care of Sweet Pea and was so in tune with her quirks. I would have Pea stay with her any time without a single worry!”

Wendy was easy to work with and very responsive. She took care of our dog Atticus like he was her own. Atticus seemed very comfortable with her right away. She was very flexible with pick ups and drop offs. I would recommend her to anyone in the area! We would definitely use her services again.
Madison and Joseph were amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone else in their home and I could not have asked for a better experience. From the great questions asked to get to know our pup before booking to sending several photos each day with updates, we could easily tell our pup was in good hands. We will definitely be booking again when we go out of town again. Thank you Madison & Joseph for taking such great care of Scout!
Jennifer watched our dog, Riggs, over our wedding weekend in Newport, and I truly don’t know how we would have managed having him be part of our wedding without her! She was incredibly helpful and flexible throughout the entire planning process and weekend. We had friends coordinating drop-off and pick-up with her, and on our wedding day, Riggs came to our ceremony and Jennifer even picked him up from the venue afterward. She made what could have been a complicated weekend so easy and stress-free. She was so kind, patient, and sweet with Riggs, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was with her. We would absolutely reach out to Jennifer again anytime we need someone to watch Riggs in Newport. Highly recommend!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Middletown home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Middletown.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
