“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care Bri provided for our French bulldog, Theodore. From the moment we met, it was clear that Bri is passionate about animals and highly professional. During our time away, Bri went above and beyond in every aspect. She stayed in our home, keeping everything spotless and well-maintained. Her frequent and detailed communication gave us peace of mind, knowing that our beloved Theodore was in the best hands. We received regular updates and adorable photos, which made us feel connected and reassured. Bri not only met but exceeded all our expectations. She followed all care instructions meticulously and showed genuine affection and attention to Theodore. It’s evident that Bri has a special touch with pets, and we returned to a very happy and well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Bri to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”
“Isabel is the best! We felt so confident in Randy’s care while we were away. She was very consistent with sending updates everyday with pictures. Although not her job, we came home and our home was spotless. We appreciate her so much with our anxious baby and she gave updates of how she saw his confidence boost throughout her time with him!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Julia was amazing! She was so communicative and we got home to a happy and healthy pup (and a 100% clean apartment!) I could tell she was spending a lot of time with our buddy and really appreciated her attention and support. Would absolutely book again!”
“Maya was so wonderful to my precious boy. She was commutative and kept me in the loop with updates and pictures while I was away. Grateful I found a forever sitter. I highly recommend booking with Maya you won’t regret it!”
“Evan did a great job caring for our dogs at our home. He was responsive, followed all directions, and left the house in great shape. The dogs clearly loved him and we came home to happy pets. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Our pups were so calm and happy when we arrived home. Meaghan kept us updated and was kind and clean! We would definitely recommend and hire her again in the future! :)”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“Grace is lovely. She spent approximately 10 days at our home house sitting for our 2 senior Yorkies. She followed their care plan and kept in touch with us daily. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Grace!”
“Emma was amazing. Finn was very happy when we came home. She sent us many pictures and videos of Finn during the week she was here. We are very pleased and will definitely use her again.”
“Karla has taken great care of my greyhound Karl and cat Benny multiple times. Our house is in great shape when we return, and the boys seem very happy and relaxed when we return home. I highly recommend her!”
“I could tell immediately upon meeting Anders that they are a person with a huge heart for animals. My Sophie can be a little shy with new people at first, but she immediately liked Anders and it was like they were old friends even though they’d just met. Anders took excellent care of Sophie and I could see that Sophie was living her best life with them because they sent frequent pictures and updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter to take care of my baby and put my mind at ease that she was in very good hands with someone who loved her and cared for her as if she were their own. Anders will always be my first choice when I have to go out of town and need care for my baby!”
“Even before this first stay, Jean spent a great deal of time meeting Zu Zu and her parents, which we greatly appreciated! This weekend was a perfect opportunity for Jean to get to know Zu Zu's routine, likes/dislikes, etc. Throughout the weekend, we received pics and video clips, which provided us with reassurance that Zu Zu was being well cared for. Jean asked questions, offered feedback and even assisted us with getting both pet parents on Rover, so both of us were able to access pics/videos. We already have another stay booked!”
“Desirae was such a great find! We struggled to find a sitter available for our Ginny for Labor Day weekend but we were so glad to find Desirae. She was prompt and responsive and flexible with her time. Ginny loved her stay with her over the holiday weekend, especially all the snuggles! We would recommend her highly and plan to work with her again. Thanks Desirae!”
“My dogs love Taylor. They both positioned themselves between her, the door, and her luggage when she tried to leave. That tells me everything I need to know about their time with her!! Thank you, Taylor!”
“There is no need to think about booking her. Do it! I don’t leave my fur baby with just anyone. The minute I met her I knew she would be so sweet to my mojo and he would be in good hands. We already booked her for our next trip to watch him. Thank you Carolyn!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have had/lived with multiple dogs of different breeds over the years, from puppies to senior pups! I promise to give your furry family member lots of pets and cuddles (if that’s what they like) and treat them just like I would my own dog. After all, I like dogs even more than people! I work from home the majority of the week and am fully available (schedule permitting) on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. For Tuesdays/Wednesdays, I have the ability to let your dog out for potty breaks and play during my hour+ long work break when I am in the office (located nearby in Providence). Typically available on weekends! Message me if you have questions about my availability as I can often move my schedule around to fit yours 😊 When I visit your home to take care of your pet, I will treat both your home and pet with the same respect and care I would my own. Rest assured that I will leave everything just as I found it!

Taylor took excellent care of our pup and our home. She checked in frequently with photos and updates and went above and beyond our expectations. Our pup had a great time and has a new friend. We will definitely rebook Taylor and highly recommend her to anyone whose pet needs extra care and attention.
Anders stayed in our home with our two dogs while we were on vacation. We received regular updates from Anders throughout our trip about how our dogs were doing. Anders took such great care of our dogs and they were acting completely normal when we arrived home. Anders was also so respectful of our home, they even cleaned our driveway since they were stuck house sitting during a blizzard. I cannot recommend Anders highly enough for your pet care needs!
This was our first time ever using a house and cat sitter, and it was also for a 2 week family vacation over the holidays—so we were understandably a bit nervous. Devorah was a joy to work with and put our concerns to rest immediately. She followed our instructions completely, provided excellent communication throughout our trip and offered regular updates with pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. When a snowstorm occurred, Devorah handled it calmly and professionally. We came home to a house that was left beyond expectations and very happy cats. We truly could not have asked for a better first experience and would absolutely recommend Devorah without hesitation.
Evan was great with my anxious pitbull mix who is aggressive with other dogs and cats. He accepted a last-minute booking and was flexible with a meet and greet. He stayed at our place for two nights and took care of my dog while sending regular pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Evan!
Elizabeth was a fantastic sitter for our elderly dog. She was very attentive to his needs and made sure that he was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Elizabeth’s communication was great and she kept up well informed during our trip. We would absolutely ask Elizabeth to care for our dog and home in the future.
Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!
