About: Prepared for all dogs large and small. I have experience with puppies and seniors, large and small breeds. My entire life I have had dogs; Golden Retrievers, Yorkshire Terriers, multiple mutts, Siberian Huskies. Anything your dog can throw at me, I'm prepared to handle! I'm currently in between jobs and am available for pet walking or sitting most days whenever needed. I have Siberian Husky named Frank who I walk 3 times a day for about 7 miles total. He is incredibly friendly and is a good walk buddy, but can also be left at home if not compatible . I'm more than aware that some dogs have no tolerance for Husky's. If house sitting Frank would always be left at my home. If caring for a dog in their home, it would always just be me and the dog. I follow all house rules, and am very adaptable to both the needs of the dogs, and dog owners. In terms of walks, I spend so much time on my daily walks with my dog, that I am hyperaware of warning signs from other dogs and am able to avoid any potetial confrontations.
“big thanks to charlie for her good care...on time, communicative, and our fur baby was happy and well upon our return. grateful. would reach out to charlie for a future need.”
“Megan did an awesome job looking after my two sweet kitties! She provided timely updates with pictures and I could tell that she was genuinely happy to be spending time with them! When I returned, the house was super neat and tidy just as I left it. I would gladly have her watch my kitties again!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing watching our kitty Thea when we went on a 10 day vacation. He treated both the cat and our home with love and kindness. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Daniel was. Could not recommend him more and look forward to having him watch Thea again soon.”
About: Experienced dog sitter offering boarding, walks, drop-ins, and sitting. Recently relocated to Rhode Island, providing loving, reliable care and treating every dog like family always. I work from home, so I am able to give your pet the love and attention they need throughout the entire day. From a morning and evening walk to afternoon snuggles. I can assure that your furry companion will be taken care of, and I will keep you posted with lots of photos while you are away! When I was in Indianapolis, I would stay over at my clients' homes for extended periods of time (sometimes over a month at a time). I do not have any pets at home, so they would be the only focus while staying with me.
“Stevie-Rae is awesome! A true dog-lover! My dog is so happy to see her when she arrives, and I know she's taking great care of him because he's always happy and healthy when we return. Highly recommend for your dog-sitting/caring needs.”
“Emily was amazing with Sunny! She stayed in our home for a week and took such great care of him. She kept in touch the whole time with updates, treated Sunny like her own, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. She’s super friendly, and we came home to an absolutely spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely have Emily watch Sunny again!”
“Maria was fantastic with my dogs! She kept me updated with pics on the dogs while I was gone. You can tell she cares a great deal about making sure they are happy and safe. Dogs were well loved and I was able to enjoy a wedding weekend without stressing. 10/10 would book again.”
“Jamie was responsive and worked with us to ensure the dogs were comfortable before our first house-sitting. Thanks for taking good care of them; we look forward to working with you more!”

I’m a college student with a big heart for animals, and pet care is something I truly enjoy. It’s the perfect way for me to earn a little extra money while doing something that actually makes me happy, spending time with pets, staying active, and giving owners peace of mind. I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure your pets feel safe and cared for. Weekly Availability: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Available for dog walks 1:00–5:00 PM Tuesday & Thursday: Available for overnight stays after 7:00 PM - can do morning walks before 12:30 PM Weekends: Fully available for overnights can walk your pets anytime throughout the day.

I always try to make your pet feel safe and comfortable by keeping their routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, give fresh water, go on walks when they’re used to going, and give them plenty of love and attention. I keep the home clean, cozy, and calm so your pet feels secure while you’re away.
About: I have always lived with dogs my whole life. I have my own dog and I have helped friends and family by looking after their furry friends. I work full time but I am home in Newport everyday by 4:00pm so I would be able by 4:30 to care for your dog! I am also available most weekends at any time. I have a friendly dog and a fenced in yard where they could play! My home is also very spacious and always been dog friendly.
“We were visiting on vacation and wanted someone to sit with our senior pup while we explored the town a bit. Gracie was great. She helped us out on short notice and was very nice and took great care of Bruce allowing us to be able torelax and enjoy the day worry free knowing he was in good hands!”
“Emily was an incredible sitter for our chiweenie, Max. He’s a very anxious dog and she was able to not only calm him but make him her bestie in five short days. We appreciated having her in our home: she is neat, punctual and took great care of our space. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Rayna did an incredible job with my dog, Lucy!! She asked how many updates I wanted on Lucy while I was away and I told her there was no limit, and she delivered the most fun photos and updates! Lucy clearly felt so comfortable with Rayna! I will absolutely be booking again.”
About: I have worked in a doggy daycare for about 3 years and have run all in-home services for about 2 years. I have experience with many different breeds and ages of dogs! Dogs run my life and I’m ready to meet some more pups! I work in the morning in a doggy daycare and do whatever in-home services are needed through the daycare but when I’m free, I’m looking to fill the time with more pups! I have a very friendly golden doodle who is great with other dogs. I also a huge backyard for them to run and play and a great pet-friendly neighborhood near the beach for walks. And in other clients homes, I can do whatever makes the dog comfortable!
About: I’m detail-oriented and observant—cats are subtle, and I notice the small things that matter. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll flag anything unusual right away. Most importantly, I don’t force interaction. Whether your cat wants playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone reliable to keep their routine steady, I meet them where they are. I have full availability on weekends, which allows for extended visits, longer walks, playtime, and flexible scheduling. During the weekdays, I’m available in the mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for breakfast and dinner feedings, walks, medication schedules, and nighttime check-ins. Because I plan my day intentionally, I’m punctual, dependable, and able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine—something that helps reduce stress, especially for cats, seniors, and pets who thrive on consistency. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. I focus on consistency, safety, and individualized attention so pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions exactly—feeding schedules, walks, litter or potty routines, medications, and any house rules. I keep the environment clean and calm, make sure pets get appropriate exercise or playtime, and monitor their behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, structured play, and rest time. I introduce pets slowly if others are present, separate when needed, and adjust care based on age, energy level, and temperament. Across all services, I prioritize clear communication, attention to detail, and treating every pet as an individual—not a one-size-fits-all routine.
About: I have experience professionally dog walking, pet sitting, and experience taking care of cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, exotic birds, and chickens. Pets are our family and I am prepared to treat them as such! I will make sure that your furry (or feathery) friends are well taken care of, loved, and safe while with me, whether it be a housesit, drop in visit, or walk. No requests are too much! I know we all want the best service for our pets and I am prepared to give that :) since I am now on summer break, I am fully flexible. Since I am new to this app I have lots of room for new clients, but availability will narrow with time! I am experienced in larger dogs along with many cats, and therefore I am able to provide adequate playtime, attention, food, and positive interactions with both species.

Daniel was very responsive and provided routine check ins throughout the week he dogsat our pup. We appreciated him sending photos to see how he was doing, and for being flexible and understanding with our schedule. We would gladly ask Daniel to dogsit for us again
Victoria was wonderful with our fur baby, Sunny! She got to know his personality right away and spent tons of time playing with him outside. She kept me updated throughout the day, which made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Victoria 🙂
Sophie took excellent care of my two kitties! She provided great updates and lots of photos. I appreciated how receptive she was to all of my tips and tricks for warming up my shy kitty, and he started coming out for her! When I returned the house was nice and clean as I had left it. Thank you Sophie!!
Kolby was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and were looking for someone to watch our pup for a few hours so we could go on a few tours. She was super responsive and sent lots of photos. We came back to a very happy pup. Highly recommend and I hope we get to meet again next time we are in Newport!
Mia was fantastic with my Labrador! We had a positive meet and greet before our booking, and during her stay with Scout, Mia followed all instructions. Mia provided great care to Scout and I came back to a happy dog. Mia treated my home with respect and I would trust her to sit in my home again!
I couldn’t have been happier with the care Steven provided for our puppers, Evie and Alfie! Right from the beginning communication was clear, friendly, and professional. He took the time to learn about our dog’s routine and preferences, which immediately put us at ease. While we were away Steven sent updates and photos, showing how much fun the dogs were having. It was obvious our dogs were in loving hands and well cared for. We came home to two very happy dogs. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend Steven. We will absolutely be booking again!
