About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have owned dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. Currently I own 2 cats with my partner named Rebel and Scout. Growing up my family dogs have included lhasa apsos, dandie dinmont terriers, a german shepherd, and a golden lab. I have experience sitting all types of dogs so whether you have a small medium or large dog, i am comfortable with all sizes. I also was an American Kennel Club junior handler for five years and during that time I showed my lhasa apsos. I have assisted with 4 four litters of lhasa puppies and am experienced with house training, puppy training, care etc. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them and look forward to the opportunity to become a friend to your precious pets! :) I am currently a homemaker, and am fortunate to have some flexibility! Just let me know the times/days you need. M-F preferred weekends are negotiable! My preference is to take care of pets at clients home. It is difficult to have other animals inside with the cats however I do have a fenced in area in my yard I can offer for them to be in!

“Brittney took great care of Otis. When I came home he was happy, fed and watered and she sent me some great pictures of him having fun in the snow. I appreciate the peace of mind I got from hiring her thank you very much.”

About: Let me bring your dog on an adventure - my dog walks start at $20 but I do hikes on a sliding scale. I have group play experience, I can bring your dog to a dog park without any fear that your dog will get into any sort of trouble. I'm a quiet, clean, petsitter, I will likely leave your house cleaner than it was when you let me in. "I have worked with Kae, of Little Lyons, for about a year. He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life since I was a little tike. Started with a beagle that I couldn’t get enough of. When I became older i adopted a red nose pittie named boo-boo and a few months later another named Meika. They were my best buds. After their passing I got into providing over night stays for my fur nephew cooper and a family friend whom has four German Shepard’s two horses a cat and dog. I was loving it! Later on I got a job in the four legged field walking dogs, play groups and providing simple behavioral training/commands with positive redirection. I recently adopted a puppy named Orion who is three months old. I really have a passion for animals and enjoy what I do. My services provided are walks with basic commands/training during those walks. If your away I can stay! Boarding can be hard and stressful for your pet. I do over night care so your fur baby can stay in the comfort of their home.

About: I worked in an exotic vet hospital for 7 years which is also a wildlife rehab facility. Prior to that I have raised and cared for animals of all species of my own my whole life. Whether fury, feather, scales, or more I love just about every living being & critter. I will care for your pets like they were my own. *Making a note that poisonous/venomous or illegal animals are not acceptable or allowed. I have experience with reptiles like geckos, bearded dragons like my own, iguanas, turtles, birds of all shapes, color, and sizes, some farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and things of the like. Animals that are venomous or harmful are excluded.* I care for and hang out with my fur babies, but there's plenty of room and time for more friendly faces. I work hard so my pets can have a good life. I frequently walk my dogs and can take yours around the neighborhood as well, lots of dog toys, pats and belly rubs, and can crate your pup if needed. I'm also willing to help with some trainings and house breaking if requested.

About: With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique level of expertise, reliability, and compassion to every pet I serve. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with veterinarians and veterinary technicians, providing trusted pet sitting services for colleagues and clients alike. My extensive background ensures that your pets are in knowledgeable and capable hands at all times. I have successfully completed multiple background checks, reflecting my commitment to professionalism, integrity, and trustworthiness. I am also Fear Free Certified, which means i have advanced training in recognizing and reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets – allowing me to provide care that prioritizes both their physical and emotional well-being. Safety is always my top priority. I am certified in CPR fo humans, cats, and dogs, and I am highly experienced in administering a wide range of medications, including oral, injectable, transdermal, and subcutaneous treatments. Whether your pet requires routine care or more specialized medical attention, I am fully equipped to meet their needs with confidence and precision. Beyond medical care, I am dedicated to enriching your pet’s daily life. I prioritize meaningful interaction, socialization, and appropriate physical activity to ensure your pet remains happy, healthy, and engaged while you are away. Above all, I take great pride in being dependable, detail-orientated, and deeply respectful of the trust my clients place in me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing peace of mind and exceptional care you can rely on. I work full time at a veterinary hospital so if I'm pet-sitting your dog(s), I'll usually bring them with me to work with my dog. They have a fenced in yard where they can play during the day. If they are not social, they will just go out by themselves. If I'm watching your cat at your house, I will spend time with them around my work schedule, I will not subject them to daily trips in the car :) I have a fenced in yard and take frequent leash walks around my quiet and safe suburban neighborhood. We also love to hike if your pet is into that. Otherwise, your pet's needs dictate what I offer to them. If I'm watching them at your home, I try to stay to their schedule as much as possible.

“Amber was great with Cyrus! She treated him like he was her own and that is exactly what I wanted for him.”

About: I've been house and pet sitting for ten years plus, besides that I've been an owner of many dogs and cats. There is nothing that makes me happier than the well-being of them. When you choose me for the care of your fur babies, they'll be taken care of to the maximum comfort and standard. I'm flexible in that I work remotely... So i huge amount of the time i will be around to cater to your pets. And also will be able to walk them often and keep them stimulated I'll make sure their safety and the environment they're in are safe and nurturing. If it's the owner's house I won't change a thing, if it's my house I'll have them have access to all that they would have at their home.

About: Hi, I’m Laurie! Animals have always been at the heart of my life and work. I run my own professional pet transport company, where I safely move pets across the country by both air and ground. Because of that experience, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and other small animals of all temperaments and personalities. Whether I’m boarding pets in my home or staying at yours, my goal is to give them the same comfort, attention, and love they’d get from you. I’m USDA certified, insured, and have a spotless driving record. I’m also a non-smoker and child-free, so all my focus goes to the pets in my care. I understand how stressful it can be for pets (and owners!) when routines are disrupted, so I make sure to keep feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles as consistent as possible. I provide regular photo and video updates so you’ll never wonder how your pet is doing. Why Choose Me: • Years of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities • Small-scale, quality-over-quantity care (I only take on a manageable number of pets so each one gets the attention they deserve) • Compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and stress-free Your pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. I’d be honored to care for them like my own. There is always someone at the house to care for the dogs, usually two or three people to provide frequent play and potty time outside How I Keep Pets Safe While Boarding: • I only board a small number of pets at a time so each one gets proper attention and supervision. • Pets are never left outside unattended. I use leashes, harnesses, and secure fenced areas for bathroom breaks and playtime. • Feeding is done separately when needed to avoid food guarding or scuffles between pets. • I sanitize bowls, bedding, and crates regularly to maintain a clean and healthy environment. • I follow each pet’s routine closely, including any medications, special diets, or exercise needs. • I provide constant check-ins and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: My name is Shaina. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! My focus is mainly dog walks/runs as I am a full time college student. I am also available for babysitting and occasional boarding. I live in a single family home with lots of land to run and play. I have a golden lab of my own that is extremely friendly with other dogs to keep yours company! If your pup doesn’t do well with other dogs, accommodations can be made so my dog and yours do not cross paths! Any dog i’ve met I have loved like my own! With all my skills I am able to provide a supervised, safe, and a stable environment for your pups!

About: With 15+ years of experience as a certified veterinary technician and personal pets, I am an ideal candidate to care for your pets. At home, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and horses for my entire life. Over the last three years, I’ve cared for three senior dogs who required an array of medications. My 15 years experience as a veterinary technician has helped me to develop an eye for detail when it comes to your pets needs and health. Currently, I am taking a break from veterinary medicine. I would like to begin my own dog walking/daycare/pet and house sitting business in order to support my family. This will become a full-time job for me with an open schedule at this point. Dog walking and check in’s (to potty and play) will be Monday to Saturday 7am to 7pm. As I cultivate a client base and access the needs of those clients, my hours will develop to accommodate those needs. At my house, we have a fenced in yard that is approximately half an acre. The fence is 7 feet high in all places. There is a kiddie pool and digging area. Inside is an open concept to roam. Currently, all of my dogs are very friendly couch potatoes. If needed, they could be separated (into their favorite spot, my bedroom!) to accommodate your pets needs. As for walking, I will adhere to all rules provided by you, the owner. I’m open to walking neighborhoods or taking your dogs out on the local trails. I will work side by side on manners and behavior with the owners.
