“Our pups Bucky and Pepper had such a fun time at Kimberly's day care! We loved getting pictures of them during the day. They were totally wiped out by the end of a fun day playing with other dogs. Thanks so much, Kimberly!”

“Tara was great with my boys regarding my situation of needing last minute support. She made an accommodation to take my golden even though he is on the bigger side and he came home happy. I would trust her to take care of my boys anytime!”

“Kelly provided us with updates on how our pup was doing. We appreciated the photos showing she was settling in. With a new Rover, there's always a bit of anxiety but Kelly put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our evening. JoJo came home safe and healthy.”

“Dana is wonderful with Rio. I’m glad I have found someone to leave him with when I’m out. I don’t worry about him at all. Dana communicates throughout the visit and provides a great environment for him to play and rest.”

“Deborah is amazing! Most caring, loving, dog sitter I have ever had! My pup comes home exhausted as do I after work. Deborah’s yard is like a small dog park. She goes on numerous walks with Pippa & the crew which I I am thrilled about. My girl is 16 mos & has a lot of energy! Pippa adores Ms. Deborah 💗 She always sends me the cutest pics. Highly recommended!!”

“Jean is amazing! She meets us at the car and Piglet already knows which way to go. She takes him on long walks, sends lots of pictures letting us know how he is doing. I have absolutely no worries about how well cared for he is when he is with her.”

“Our dogs just love going to Brian’s house! They are eager to see Brian, and he has a wonderful yard! Brian has always been so accommodating to us and to our dog’s needs. We highly recommend Brian!”

“Nicole & Ryan are absolutely amazing!! They are responsive, kind, and accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care and cannot recommend them enough. Will definitely be reaching out again and we know our dog is just as excited as we are to have found a good match!”

“Extremely grateful for Kate! She helped us when we needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and sent picture updates throughout the duration. Highly recommend and Ziggy was very happy :) Thanks again, Kate!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. That’s over 20 years of personal, hands-on experience! I’ve cared for puppies, small dogs, big dogs, calm dogs, hyper dogs - you name it. My responsibilities include daily walks, feeding, bathing, cleaning up after them, and most importantly, giving them all the love and attention. I am comfortable sticking to a routine and keeping all dogs happy and safe! I have a 7 year old dog who I treat like my own baby. Friends and family know me as the 30 year old who’s obsessed with her dog! Let my dog and your dog be the best of friends in our FENCED-IN yard! I am a dog-loving teacher who is off for the summer. My schedule adapts to your dog’s schedule! I wake up every morning with my husband to give our dog his morning routine. I am able to go on walks multiple times a day. I can also keep up with night time routines! We have a FENCED-IN yard where your dog and my dog can become the best of friends! I have two separate rooms if your dogs likes to have alone time after a day of play. I am also flexible to do in-home care, if that is your preference.
About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a partner in your dog’s happiness. With the experience of training and graduating three service dogs, I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every pup I care for. Your dog isn’t just another appointment on my calendar—they’re family, and I treat them that way. From walks to training to daily love, I help dogs feel safe, confident, and understood. Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.” Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”
“Isabel was amazing at taking care of Yoshi during our time in Rhode Island. She and her family made him feel right at home and I am grateful we could leave him in her capable care and know he was having a blast!”

About: With over 15+ years of experience working with dogs in both care, training, and rehabilitation settings I will provide your fur baby with a high standard of care, the same care I give to my own dog. I’ve worked with training seeing eye dogs, raising them from puppy to 1 year old and providing them proper certified training during that time, and have 10+ years volunteering at animal shelters working with dogs in various backgrounds and with varying temperaments through a variety of training methods to get them ready for their forever homes. I’m very experienced working with anxious or nervous dogs, as well as dogs that need some additional training or might be quite hyperactive. I currently have a 4 year old Great Dane mix named Auggie who I’ve trained completely on my own from the time he was a puppy. He’s extremely well-behaved, well-trained, and has passed public access testing for service dog certification. I’m currently working full-time from home and I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to take my dog and yours out for as much exercise, playtime, and enrichment as they need. I have very few meetings throughout the week and stay in most evenings so your dog would always have the attention they deserve. My schedule is super flexible, so I can plan around what your fur baby needs. I care for others pets the same way that I care for my own, which is with an extremely high standard of care. My dog is my baby and I know most other dog parents feel the same way, so I treat my clients dogs the same way I would treat my own. Meaning they get an ample amount of affection, stimulation, and play time; they’re allowed on the beds and the sofas; they get all of their needs taken care of. I will also keep you updated and informed throughout the day with photos and updates on what and how they’re doing. Also, in case it is relevant to the care of your pet, I currently live on the second floor with two flights of stairs to get to the door. I am happy to carry your pet as needed if stairs are a problem for them. (I have moved to a new apartment since some of the photos in my profile were taken but still in a second floor apartment).
“Ziara was wonderful with my German shepherd! She is very friendly kind and caring! I can’t wait to use her next year again when we come back to enjoy the beach. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. I highly recommend her”


“Erin was great. She was responsive, flexible, welcoming to our Dotty. She understood the quirks of our dog’s breeds and seemed very capable. Sent nice pics, too. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Karen was everything we were hoping for with our daycare booking. She was professional, flexible, and provided excellent care for our dog. She sent us several photos and videos of our dog, and was responsive with all communications. She even provided lots of information on dog-friendly activities in the area- overall a wonderful experience for us and our dog.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I am very intuitive with nature, pets, and children. I specialize in giving loving, attentive care to any and all living beings. I work part time and get my shifts weekly. My availability will revolve around my other work schedule. I am easily reachable via text or call. I live in a pet-friendly house. I live right on the Sakonnet River with easy access to long walks and greenery. I love being active and outside but also inside and cuddling up with a fluffy friend.

Nicole was an awesome & accomodating sitter who helped us out very last minute and took INCREDIBLE care of Riley!
