House Sitting Prudence Island

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently work as an Animal Control Officer and also volunteer with animal rescues, so I’m deeply familiar with animal behavior, safety, and care. I’ve dedicated my life to helping animals—whether it’s rescuing strays, fostering in need, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve. I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting and walking services tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs special attention, I’m patient and understanding. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Why Choose Me? • Experience with dogs, cats, and animals with behavioral or medical needs • Animal Control Officer – trained in safety, handling, and emergency care • Volunteer animal rescuer • Calm, caring, and trustworthy • Fluent in Portuguese and English Let’s chat and see how I can help your furry friend feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Pet care is a part of my everyday life—it’s more than just a job, it’s who I am. As an Animal Control Officer, I work daily with animals in all kinds of situations, always ensuring their safety and well-being. Outside of work, I volunteer with local rescues and foster animals whenever I can, so my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walking, grooming, and giving pets the love and attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, caring for animals is built into my schedule. I’m used to handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch, and I always make sure each one gets the time and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. With my background as an Animal Control Officer and experience in rescue work, I’m trained to recognize stress signals, prevent accidents, and handle emergencies calmly and quickly. In your home, I always follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, they’ll have a calm, pet-friendly environment with lots of love, supervision, and structure. I never leave pets unsupervised outdoors and make sure everyone gets the attention, play, and rest they need. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my mission.

About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.

“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”

“Victoria did an excellent job with communication and picture updates. We returned to a well kept member of the family and a house in the same condition as left. We would not hesitate to have Victoria look after Rudder and our home again.”

“Without a doubt, the best pet (and house) sitting experience we have ever had. Xinwei D. (who goes by Garrett) took extra special care of our aging dog, Bernie, while also leaving our home in better condition than we left it. He followed directions to a T, kept in constant communication and sent pictures and updated every day. He will be out first choice in sitters every time. Honestly, we couldn't have taken better care of Bernie ourselves, and being gone for a week knowing someone competent and compassionate was back at home taking care of everything gave us unmatched peace of mind. If he's available, book him for your next drop-in or house sit. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Garrett!”

About: With over 30 years of experience owning, training, and caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands-on knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet in my care. My experience includes horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small reptiles, as well as a variety of exotic animals. My experience with dogs includes German Shepherds and retired racing Greyhounds, along with many other breeds. I also have extensive experience caring for tropical birds, including Macaws and Cockatoos. In addition, I am comfortable caring for freshwater and saltwater fish, cats, reptiles, and a wide variety of other animals. I have recently been pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters and have received all five-star reviews from the families I have cared for. I will be returning to the New England area in early October and look forward to offering my services through Rover as well. Your pets are family, and I understand how important it is to leave them in the hands of someone experienced, dependable, and caring. I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved animals with the attentive, loving care they deserve. I’m currently retired and enjoying a wonderful adventure traveling around the country while caring for beloved pets and homes along the way! 🐾❤️ I’ll be returning to Rhode Island at the end of September and am excited to start booking pet- and house-sitting opportunities again. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to hear from you! I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting some new furry friends, too. 🐶🐱🏡 When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your beloved pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home. 🐾❤️ As a trusted pet sitter, I provide personalized care based on your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I keep their normal schedule as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I believe pets are happiest in familiar surroundings, so I make staying home a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. I’ll also care for your home with the same respect and attention I give your pets, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your furry family members are in caring, dependable hands. 🐶🐱🐾

“Sophia had great communication with me before, during and after her stay. My pup was THRILLED with her and I'm sure that's because she was given love and attention. My instructions for the home were followed perfectly and it was left in pristine condition. I would definitely book with Sophia again!”

“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”

About: What sets me apart is that I really take the time to get to know each dog and what makes them happiest. I’ve worked with everything from wiggly puppies who need a little help with training to older dogs who just want a slow, peaceful walk and some extra TLC. I’m super patient, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup wants to run, sniff, play, or just take it easy, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly. I have tons of free time, so your pet gets my full attention and flexibility. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a job it’s just a great part of my day. When I care for pets at your home, I try to keep everything as normal as possible for them. I stick to their usual feeding and walk times, give any meds they need, and just hang out to keep them company. I’m not perfect, but I’m always patient and caring, and I make sure to keep their space clean and safe. I’ll check in with you regularly so you know how they’re doing. If I’m watching pets at my place, I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax and plenty of attention. I’m pretty chill and try to keep things low-stress so they feel comfortable. Either way, I just want your pet to feel safe and cared for, even if I’m not perfect!

“Anya was wonderful and our dogs loved her. She did a great job ensuring they were well taken care of and loved. She helped take care of things around the house and sent pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend her.”

About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

“Heidi was such a great dog sitter! She was wonderful to work with, very helpful, reliable, and followed all of our instructions carefully. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in good hands. We’re truly grateful for her and would absolutely book with her again!”

“Heather was absolutely amazing with our two pups, and with house sitting! She took excellent care of our Saint Bernard and Golden Retriever, making sure not only were they cared for, but loved! Lots of play time and tons of pics and vids sent our way so we knew they were happy and healthy! We came home to a spotless house. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!”

About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for the past couple of years. I started with family and friends animals and have recently started watching other peoples animals and I really enjoy it. I’ve walked, bathed, feed and swam with pets. I work part time at a movie theater and have a flexible schedule and can request days off if need be or work in the morning rather than night and vise versa if you need morning care. I Can crate dogs if needed, I won’t feed your pet anything unless okayed by owner first. I live to take pictures of animals so I can provide updates if needed. I enjoy walking and running with animals so if they need a walk outside or a ball thrown around a fenced yard I would be happy to do so.

“Allison sat Quetzalli at our home for 9 days and it was perfect! She kept in touch with us and sent us pictures and videos. She took her out and they enjoyed the snow together. And our Q really loved her. Allison also was very attentive in case our flight was delayed or cancelled and we didn´t make it back home in time. We will definitely call Allison again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family and neighbors would always rely on me to watch their pets when they went out of town. I work full-time. So when I’m watching your pet, I will be gone from 9 to 4 and Gus will be with me at all times. If I need to come back midday to let the pup out that can be arranged. Just let me know! Gus is my pal. He’s my right hand. He will be with me when we take care of care of your pet! He’s a 1y/o beagle mix. Loves to play and gets along with everyone very relaxed and chill. Gus and I will stay at your home. Walks in the morning and evening. Photos and communication as much as you prefer.

“Lisa was great to work with. One of my dogs is protective of the house/yard and Lisa handled the situation well. Both of my dogs warmed up to her quickly and the updates she provided throughout the stay were comforting. I will definitely contact her again if I need a pet sitter.”

About: Ever since I can remember there's been a dog in the house. From English Mastiffs to Cava-poos, Boxers to Golden-doodles-I've had my fair share of caring for gentle giants and forever puppies. I currently have a doodle as well as a tabby cat, and yes, I do consider them as my children. I'm comfortable with any breed, and will always ensure they get the best care while you're away! While I do work full-time, I follow teacher hours and am fortunately out by about 3 PM. This will give me the afternoons/evenings free for play and dinner time. For the pups, I'll be able to bring them for a walk, to play fetch, cuddle up on the couch, etc. In your home, I will abide by your guidelines to a T-whether that involves a strict eating/bathroom-ing schedule, administering medications, exercise routines, crate-training, etc. I am a very clean person and do not mind washing bowls or vacuuming some fur whenever necessary.

“Duncan stepped in to care for our pups while we were away. The dogs were fed, entertained, and loved extremely well. We will use him again and would recommend him to others. Arthur and Janette Plymouth”
