“Margaret is wonderful! Super communicative and kind. My pup loves her. I used Margaret’s services for a few weeks will I was recovering from an injury. She even came and went on her own when needed if I was on zoom calls”
“Rosie was just the best to my pup. She was super communicative and very helpful while we were out of town. She sent plenty of pictures and made sure my dog had a lot of outside play time. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Victoria was fabulous! She showed up on time for our early morning "Meet & Greet", and understood all the instructions for Newton. Based on the Rover tracker and timely updates she took him for nice long and productive walks. This was a hot day and Victoria made sure Newton had fresh water and his after walk biscuit. I am very happy, and will certainly have her take care of Newton”

About: Ive been a dog owner my whole life (currently dog-less!) and would love to walk and play with your pup to get my fix! I plan on getting a did soon but until then..I can take care of yours! I work full-time but have a schedule that would allow me to help out on certain days and times. Wednesdays and Saturdays off. I can help before and after work also. I have a fenced yard and live near Eastons Pond, a great walking spot for dogs. My house is clean and cozy, perfect for a small dog to do a sleepover.
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life. I've cat-sat and dog-walked for friends and family. I love caring for animals and this is a great substitution for right now while I can't have my own dog. I’m very active and I enjoy being outside so walking a dog combines two things that I love: dogs and exercise! At the end of the workday I don’t always want to do a full workout but having a pet to care for is a great excuse. I will follow the owners' guidelines. I've cared for older dogs and I understand how important their schedule is. If I have questions I will not hesitate to reach out rather than assume.
“Stevie-Rae was great! She responded quickly, took great care of my big dog, took pictures/left detailed cards, and even went a little long on some of the walks. Thank you!”
About: I’m an owner of an overly friendly lab mix rescue. I’ve currently relocated to Newport for my husband’s military career and would love to take care of your pet or go for walks. I’m currently awaiting licensure for my healthcare field in RI and so have plenty of time for playing, walking and taking care of your pet as I cannot start working until I am licensed. I like to go for walks and/or play in the home or backyard if fenced in. I am open to taking the dog in my car to the dog park for more socialization.

I have experience with different dogs from terriers, vizslas, border collies, to many adorable rescues! My family has always had cats and I've enjoyed taking care of them and playing. Because I travel a lot, I never had a dog of my own. However, I love spending time and taking care of dogs so I look for opportunities to take care of other people's dogs. I'm an active volunteer at the Potter League for Animals in Middletown. I have gone throught all basic animal care training as well as dog walking, dog behavior and cat behavior training. I have fostered cats who needed temporary home to socialize and open up before they are ready for adoption. I understand how important your pet is to you and i will treat them with the same love, care and attention that I would want for my own pet. I work from home full time. My schedule is flexible and I have no problem taking breaks during the day for walks and play time. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed at my apartment so I'm currently only available for walks and drop-in visits if you're traveling or simply need a hand when busy.
