“Maya was amazing with our pups. We were in town with our 2 dogs. They are both used to being with us and get anxious when they are not. Maya is very knowledgeable and sweet and knew exactly how to handle them. She played a lot with our very active GSP. She is also very respectful and sends lots of pictures and updates. We booked her twice during our visit and will definitely book her again when we come back.”
“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”
“Sylvia was energetic and eager to meet and learn about caring for Cj. She was very much communicative and definitely made sure to adhere to Cj's needs and give him all the attention she could give. I couldn't be any more happier coming home to my old man Cj. I would seek her out again for pet care. Thank you!”
“Michelle was an absolute pleasure to have watch my animals. She made a point to take extra care, and spend ample time with my dog Bowser and cat Jynx. She took pictures of my pets, to keep our minds at ease, so we never had to worry. I will definitely be calling her again when needed!!”
“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”
“Jayla was great with my anxious guy! She kindly took the job with a day’s notice 🙏 Thank you Jayla, you’re a lifesaver. Will def hit you up next time he needs care”
“Cheyana was SUPER patient meeting my reactive dog and making sure he was comfortable safely cared for while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone in need of pet care!!”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. Gabby had some health issues pop up while I was gone, and Sarah kept me updated the whole time. Gabby had to go to the vet, and Sarah handled everything until I could get home. I highly recommend using Sarah next time you need a pet sitter!”
“Jules was absolutely wonderful! She made my weekend trip so enjoyable knowing that he was well taken care of. I loved all the pictures and updates she sent throughout the weekend. I would definitely hire her again! I highly recommend to anyone.”
“Meredith was great with Waffles while I was abroad. She checked in regularly with updates and sent pictures. She also left the house in great shape when she left! Highly recommend.”
“Karla was available at short notice and to meet a difficult late night schedule. She was on time and responsive - and Edgar seemed to love her. Thanks, Karla!”
About: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty. I still love my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
“Anne was very patient and understanding as my need for a dog sitter was due to a family emergency, and I was quite stressed. She kept in touch, shared pictures, and responded to my texts in a timely fashion.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was a teen. I do walks, stop-by visits, and overnight visits. I love to meet cuties of all kinds! I am currently working part-time, so I usually have some availability for pet care! I have a vehicle and can travel throughout the RI area. In addition to doing pet care, I also have done house cleaning for a few years. I am very responsible and will take great care in looking after your pets and home!
About: Building lasting relationships through personalized attention, reliable communication, and treating each pup as my own beloved companion, ensuring their happiness and your peace of mind! I work from home and have flexible availability, I block out morning and evening times to be readily available to tend for your pups needs I have a series of questions I ask to understand the pup I will be taking care of to ensure they avoid dangerous situations that may trigger them, always use leashes and follow schedules they are used to while keeping you in loop of our time together
“Aidan did a great job! He house sat with the puppies for 6 days and he left the house in great condition. The puppies were happy. He sent pictures to let me know they were going well too. I will definitely be using him again.”
“Becky was wonderful! She asked all the right questions and made sure she understood just what needed to be done and where everything was. She only sat for us for about 24 hours since we were just going on an overnight trip but I got an opportunity to see that she is truly a professional. I forgot to explain to her which pills each of my doggies take and are all together in a weekly pill organizer by day. They take them every morning. She texted me the night before to ask exactly how they should be given. She was clearly preparing for giving them to them the following morning. It was refreshing to not have to worry. She also texted me a ton of photos while she was taking care of them. I know she truly took good care of my fur babies. Also Mocha is usually skittish around new visitors to our house. When Becky came to meet with me before coming to stay, Mocha immediately greeted her in the foyer and didn’t run the opposite direction. This was a first!”
“Bri was fantastic with our rambunctious cat Sebastian- he warmed up to her much quicker than he does for other people. Bri was very communicative, letting us know regularly how he was doing and sending picture updates during her stay watching our place and cat. We really appreciated it and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thanks Bri!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Mae. She is communicative, responsive, and professional. Our dog is shy with strangers but warmed up to Mae instantly. Mae is the best!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kimberlee! She’s hands down one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dog, Kharma, in her care. She was incredibly communicative, sending me regular updates and photos that truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was her willingness to go above and beyond, she did things without even being asked, and it meant so much to me. You can tell she genuinely cares. For any future trips, especially longer ones, Kimberlee will be my number one choice without hesitation. I sincerely appreciate her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and kind sitter.”

Cheyana was so kind and patient with our reactive senior chihuahua. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!
Sylvia took good care of JoJo for an evening. She displayed a gentle, warm approach with him and he was very comfortable with her. We will be glad to engage her again.
We are so grateful for Christine! She is always mindful and diligent in caring for our quirky dogs and looking after our home. She will remain our first choice when looking for support in caring for our dogs.

Savannah took very good care of our girls while we were away. Our dogs were very comfortable with her and Savannah was very communicative with me while we were away (texts/photos). The girls schedule was maintained and Savannah took very good care of our house! We will definitely use Savannah again!!
Kaitlyn was wonderful! She kept me very well informed about her stay, was quick to respond, and left the house perfectly clean! She even got my picky senior dog to take medication (which I struggle with). High recommend, will definitely reach out to her with any future needs.
Chloe came and house sat for us while we went away this last weekend. We have a full house over here with three dogs and three cats, so it always makes me anxious to leave them in the care of anyone new. Chloe was so wonderful. She was able to coax our fearful rescue dog out of his shell and was also able to keep our ninja cat from going outdoors, (which is always a worry of mine.) She was quick to answer my messages and took great care of our house. I will definitely be reaching out to Chloe again if we need to go away 🥰
Molly’s the best! Great with communication, sweet with our anxious dog, leaves the house just as she finds it. Pearl’s lucky to have her and so are we. :)
Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!
Sarah was great Easy to communicate with and responsive. Sent lots of pics and updates throughout the day.
Sage was so great. I had somebody lined up who backed out last minute and I'm so glad that happened. She took on this job last minute and she took such great care of Winston! He often won't eat while I'm out of town but he definitely was comfortable enough to eat his food and his frozen treats. I got several pictures of him snuggled up in her lap. She also took such great care of the house and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be using her again!
Hailey was great with both of my dogs and I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their pets.
Jayla was amazing. She sent us updates everyday while we were on vacation and took amazing care of our animals.
Aidan did a great job with our senior guys. We appreciated Aidan's quick responses and their gentle and confident attitude. Aidan also did a great job with our apartment and it was spotless when we returned. Thanks, Aidan! We hope to have you hang with the boys in the future.
Leah did great work caring for Marlo and the house. Would work with her again and would recommend to others.
Carissa was an incredible sitter for our dog, lizard, and house! She was attentive and caring for our animals and they warmed up to her right away. We received regular updates and felt entirely comfortable while we were out of the country. We highly recommend Carissa!
Lydia is a great sitter. Our pet Zoey can be a bit of a handful, but she took it with stride. Good communication and updates.
Libbi was phenomenal! She was great with very needy animals, two of whom need daily medication. Will definitely book her again!
Sophie stayed with our 10 y/o lab, and took great care of him. I always worry about leaving him when we are on vacation, and it always puts my mind more at ease knowing he is getting taken care of in the comforts of his own home. Sophie kept us posted and sent us pictures to provide updates on our boy. Very thankful for the care she provided!
