Dog Sitting in Newport

About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

“Jessica was a great communicator throughout her visits with my cat. She sent lovely photos and updates each time which reassured me that he was really being cared for and engaged during my time away. Thanks a million, lady!”

“Jill is so caring with our cat! She always takes great pictures and leaves detailed notes after each visit. I feel confident Taco is taken care of.”

“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home from birth, and had up to 4 dogs in my house all at different ages. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, and sit for their doggies since I was 8 or nine years old. I have experience working with puppies all the way to senior dogs at the end of their lives. I specifically cared for two of my own senior dogs by providing homemade food, cleaning up accidents, and providing a safe location to go through seizures. I am out of school for the summer, and working a few hours each week remotely. I have ample time to spend with your dog or cat. I am up early on weekday mornings to go to the gym, so I can do early morning let outs/ walks as well as daytime and evening or even overnight care. I am able to come to your home to care for your pet with great daily flexibility. I have a vehicle, so I can easily pop over and let out your pet or feed them/ change a litter box. I can also do a home stay for whatever period of time is needed.

“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”

About: My family has been fostering dogs since I was 11, and I have pet sit for several neighbors and friends. I volunteer at Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue—I take the dogs outside to go potty and for walks, play with them, feed them, clean their kennels, etc. I’m home from college for the summer and my schedule is very flexible. I will be busy in the evening Monday-Thursday but I am relatively free during the day. I will follow any instructions or rules that you give me. I will interact with your dog only in the ways that are comfortable to them, but I am totally willing to play and get dirty. I don’t mind mess and it’s okay if your pet isn’t house-trained.

“Stephanie did great with my Phoebe and on such short notice! Obviously she put Phoebe at ease because Phoebe got her favorite toy for Stephanie and wanted to play.”

“Elyse is awesome!! Her communication is top notch, and I love coming home to happy pups. I appreciate that she took the time to come over the night before her first visit to meet my dogs and get the run down of everything.”

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the responsibility I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve grown up around pets and currently have a rescue terrier mix named Benji, along with three cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve spent a lot of time dog sitting, walking dogs, and caring for pets for family members, including my grandparents. I’m also currently helping train a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. With plenty of trails near me, I can also provide fun, active walks for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I currently work at a dog-friendly business where I interact with dogs regularly, and I make time throughout my week to provide reliable care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also accommodate overnight stays when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions. I know that keeping pets on their usual routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. Whether that’s going for walks, playing with toys, or simply spending quality time together, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they’re away.

About: My family has had a dog that I’ve loved to take care of and spend time with since I was 8. Also I would take care of my family’s dog since friends’ dog whenever they were out of town as a kid. I’m currently back for the summer from college so I have lots of time to take care of pets both overnight and during the day. I won’t be able to take pets into my home but can go to the owners house night or day. If for any reason you don’t have a leash or dog treats or something along those lines I’ll be able to bring it.

“Jessica was a great care giver for our cats while away. She stopped in and spent time with each kitty, took many pictures for us, and was a great communicator. We appreciated her reasonable rates and sweet and caring manner. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind for your fur baby while way.”

“Christina has been such a lifesaver for me! Brought home a puppy in June and had to go back to school in August and pup wasnt able to hold it for 8 hours yet! Christina came over multiple days a week to play with her and take her out while I was working! It was nice to not have to worry about the pup while I was at work!”

“Lyndsy did a great job with our little puppy! It was great piece of mind to read her report and see pictures of our little girl. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs dog care, as she is calm and thorough, giving love and great care to our puppy.”

About: I've had 2 dogs but cannot afford to have an animal of my own right now. I am a go-to sitter of friends and family for caring for their dogs and/or cats when they go out of town. I love taking care of animals! I'm currently working a hybrid schedule of Monday and Friday's at home. I am available to watch dogs/cats the whole week, but need to be in the office Tuesday - Thursday. So, if your dog can go a little over 8 hours between potty breaks this is no issue. I do work fairly close to home, so could come home on lunch break for a quick bathroom break. I live in a townhouse with a small, mulched front yard. I have a long leash that I can let dogs out on for quick bathroom breaks (I will be outside with them to supervise) . The neighborhood has sidewalks throughout and low traffic to take dogs on longer walks. Neighborhood is very dog friendly. Applewood Nature Reserve is also a walkable distance from my house (dogs should have tick prevention if you want them walked in the park). Longer walks would be up to 2 miles depending on your pets ability.
