“We have a cat who really doesn’t like anyone but us. And she actively shows that dislike to people who come in the house! But Mackenzie was patient and caring and spent quality time with our girl, on her terms. Mackenzie even got her to eat treats from her hand!! I’ve never seen her do that before. Great work Mackenzie!!”


“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”


“Would give more than 5 stars if I could! Amy kept our cat Kiki company, took excellent care of her, played with her, and sent the best photos in the rover cards. Kiki is not always the most friendly cat, so the fact that Kiki was so affectionate towards Amy says a lot. We will 100% be contacting her again whenever we need drop-ins!”


“Anders went above and beyond caring for Pippa during the power outage! I really appreciated the extra care for Pippa, going so far as to make an extra stop one day to see if the power had come back on, and hunting down my recycling bin which had blown into a neighbor's yard. I would definitely have Anders watch Pippa again!”



“This is not the first time that Susan take care of my dog. This time I hired another sitter through Rover (Susan was not available) and on day one the other sitter informed me he couldn't take care of my dog without any notice. I was overseas. Susan stepped in immediately despite being unavailable. She adjusted her schedule for drop-in visits. She literally saved my vacation. Thank you, Susan!”



“Bri was GREAT! She took such good care of our two kitties and sent us lots of pics and full reviews of each visit. She was an absolute pleasure and we look forward to booking her again!”


“Davis took excellent care of my three pups while I was away for six days, would definitely book with her again! Had some difficult weather while I was away too and she was super proactive about making sure I know my pups would still be taken care of. Highly recommend 😊”


“Natasha is great! She fed my pup who has several medications with his dinner and walked him after for a drop in visit. She even kindly washed his dish. Sounds like he gets excited to see her and I trust she will always come on time and take good care for my boy.”


“Fiona was an absolute gem! Super professional and friendly with excellent communication. She sent the cutest photos, and my dog was clearly in love with her. 10/10 would recommend and will hire her again. Thank you!”


About: Hi, everyone! I grew up in a lively home always filled with at least four dogs, so caring for, training, and understanding dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I haven’t owned a dog of my own yet, I’ve been missing that daily dog companionship, which is what inspired me to start walking and caring for dogs professionally. My experience is strongest with medium and large breeds — especially energetic pointers, thanks to my dad raising them — so I know how to handle dogs with a lot of athleticism and enthusiasm. At the same time, I’m patient and mindful, able to slow down and match the pace of gentle giants like Bernese Mountain Dogs. I’m very active and love the Providence area, so walking dogs here is a perfect way for me to get outside, stay energized, and give your furry friend the exercise and attention they deserve. I’m committed to providing safe, joyful walks where your dog can explore, play, and feel loved. Open to drop-in visits as well! Hoping to meet some new furry friends soon 🤍 I work in medicine, which gives me a unique schedule with many weekdays off—and I often have weekends free, too. My schedule changes week to week, so I’m happy to work closely with pet parents to find times that fit perfectly into your furry friend’s routine, providing them with companionship and exercise when they may otherwise be alone. Additionally, I am an early riser so happy to try and fit in walks prior to or after work if needed. I believe every dog should be treated as if it were my own. On every walk, I will focus on your dog’s needs and your preferences. Whether they enjoy an energetic romp or a slow, gentle stroll, I’ll adjust my pace to keep them comfortable and happy. I will stay attentive to their energy, mood, and any special instructions you provide, making sure they feel safe and cared for throughout. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to giving them the personalized attention they deserve during our time together.

About: Although I don’t currently own a pet, I grew up with a dog and am a loving dog uncle. I also love cats and always seek compassion and care for wildlife! My current schedule is very free, as I was recently discharged from the military and will be starting grad school in September. Until then, I am just looking for new things to do! I’m willing to do whatever is needed, within reason of course! With my military background, my attention to detail is one of my strongest traits, and I’ll ensure I provide only the best care for your beloved pet.

About: Hello, Nadine here. Looking forward to helping you and your pets needs. I am comfortable with all size dogs and look forward to meeting you soon. I am a dog mom, a full-time banker, and in my free time I enjoy long walks and everything and anything to do in nature. I am a proud owner of a miniature schnauzer, who is 15 years old. I am open to long walks, short walks. I understand work, life balance, and the stress of not getting home to our fur babies.

About: An avid animal lover, I have extensive experience with farm animals to my favorite furry friends- dogs! I currently spends my days hiking, camping, and running errands with my black lab mix, Mayfield, and foster puppy, Happy! I believe having a dog by your side is the best part of life, and fulfilling their needs is my top priority. I bring fun, safety, and compassion to pet care. I have experience with positive reinforcement training. I worked hard with Mayfield to help her be the best girl ever! I also have experience with reactive dogs, like my late family border collie, Rudy. I have cared for dogs throughout their lifespan, helping them blossom from puppy-hood to winding down in their senior years. I do not bring dogs to dog parks or do on-leash greetings with dogs. Safety and fun is my priority. I work part-time and attend school part-time. I am very flexible and available for a variety of scheduling needs! Whether you need a drop-in or want your dog to go for a walk-I’ve got you covered! Safety, respect, and fun are the most important things in my home with my dogs. I only use positive reinforcement, and believe dogs should be respected and valued as individuals. My dogs receive daily walks, mental enrichment, off-leash time, and weekly adventures.

“Tayla did a great job watching my pups during a quick overnight trip. She followed my instructions well, kept me updated and the pups seemed very comfortable having her here.”


“Erin has been taking care of my cat Charlie when I travel for work. I have no worries knowing Charlie is in good hands with Erin. I appreciate the daily photos she sends.”


“Kim has been so wonderful for little Scout. Kim is very gentle, kind and patient. She took the time to visit scout ahead a time as Scout is timid when meeting new people. Thank you Kim”


“Lora was great. We left for a few days and she came and fed/cared for our cats. I think they were disappointed when we came home, to tell the truth! Very dependable, personable, quick to answer messages, and we will use her again.”

Fallon G.
“I’ve known Fallon G. for years, and she has always been surrounded by happy, well-loved animals—usually 4 dogs and a cat at any given time! She’s the first to step in and help care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, treating them like her own. Her dedication is unmatched; she’s even helped deliver puppies and once saved a newborn that wasn’t breathing. Fallon’s compassion, experience, and calm presence make her exactly the kind of person you’d want caring for your pets. I can’t recommend her enough!”


Anthony L.
“Anthony is the IDEAL pet caregiver!! Having tried several sitters who just did not work out, I came across Anthony and entrusted him with the care of my French Bulldog (King). As many of us understand how delicate our funny-breathing friends can be, especially at a young age, to my pleasant surprise and enjoyment, each time Anthony cared for him he provided EXTRAORDINARY service that was unmatched based on my previous experiences! Honestly, at a point, I thought my little man loved him more than he loved me, ha! My pup is now 4 years old and Anthony continues to provide the same care that is just as attentive and considerate as the care he provided when King was just 5 months old. Anthony is certainly the best of the best and I'm so grateful to have him caring for my little guy!”
