“I used Kim for the 5 months I was in Virginia as a traveler. She was absolutely amazing! My boys just fell in love with her. If I’m ever that way again, I will definitely be booking her!”

“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

About: I am a huge animal lover! I grew up with dogs and cats and almost every pet I’ve had was a rescue. I started pet sitting my neighbor’s dogs when I was 14. I took a break for a while then started back up about 3 years ago. I have several neighbors and family friends who’s cats and dogs I take care of when their owners are away. I do have experience in taking care of pets young and old. I currently work most weekdays but I’m typically available after 1pm. Anytime a walk or play date is needed, I’m available. I have no problem with overnights or extended stays. My weekends are open as well! I have a fenced in yard if I need to bring your fur baby to my house. I have three cats who are friendly but one is a little territorial. If you have a fenced in yard, I watch your pet the whole time they are outside. I can crate your pet if need be as well. If you pet loves to play, I take the time to play with them as much as possible!

About: I have owned and taken care of a variety of pets from a young age. I feel comfortable around all types of animals and I understand how to interact with them. I am currently working full time with weekends off. My current work schedule is from 7-3 so I would be available for late afternoon and evening check-ins on week days. I am available on the weekends for any time of day. I will be home full time between June and August and available all day. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for running and playing. I have two lovable Boston Terriers and two well behaved and socialized cats. We allow all of our animals on the furniture and lots of cuddle time. Our animals have access to water all day and we can feed them according to your schedule or leave food out.

“Rob is awesome and we see it in our dogs reaction when he arrives to walk her. I work from home and unable to exercise her due to my schedule, but Rob is always punctual and considerate while I’m on the phone when he picks up and drops off our 95 lb lapdog. We highly recommend him.”

About: I was born into a home with canine sisters and grew up with both cats and dogs. While I love all sorts of dogs, I have spent most of my life caring for cats. I also have training in cat and dog first aid. I'm a professor, and I travel to RI once per week. The remainder of the time, I work from home, libraries, and cafes, so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your kitties or pups. I can also take breaks for walks throughout the day, as I mostly set my own schedule. I will interact with your fur babies on their own terms. For kitties, this might mean lots of cuddling and playing or hanging out and talking from across the room until they feel comfortable with me. I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem

“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”

About: I worked at a reputable kennel for a year in cat and dog walking, grooming, basic training, and health. I've also worked with many other pets throughout my life. I currently work mornings and I may have some small events certain days, but I am willing to work around it. Bookings at least three days in advance will be the only ones I accept unless stated otherwise. I cannot bring dogs or cats back to my home due to allergies of family members, but I can do anything outside my home or in yours. Whatever I can do to keep your pets happy is my pleasure.

About: Ever since I have been a pet sitter, I treat every animal as if they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every animal I meet and create great bonds with my furry friends. When not at my 9-5, I always make time for my animals. I love taking morning and evening walks and playing fetch. Weekends I even take adventures with them. When taking care of pets, I treat them as if they are my own children. I never want them to feel nervous and upset, I try to give them the best experiences I can.

“Thank you so much, Lisa! My puppy has a new best friend!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! Whether I was taking care of my small “zoo” of hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and dogs when I was younger, pet sitting for family friends, or now in my adult life taking care of my own animals, their health, safety, and well being have remained my focus. They are such an important part of our lives, and we are their whole lives. I currently have an open schedule, so I have lots of time to take your dog on a short walk or check in on your pets during the day! I am comfortable taking dogs outside on leash or off leash in a fenced in yard, and walking them in the area around your home. I am able to crate dogs if needed in your home.

“Clara is very trustworthy and dependable. She takes care of walking my 2 dogs while I am working and I have never had to worry about them or her coming into my home. She is a good communicator and the dogs seem to enjoy their walks with her. I would highly recommend.”
