“Victoria was fabulous! She showed up on time for our early morning "Meet & Greet", and understood all the instructions for Newton. Based on the Rover tracker and timely updates she took him for nice long and productive walks. This was a hot day and Victoria made sure Newton had fresh water and his after walk biscuit.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life. I've cat-sat and dog-walked for friends and family. I love caring for animals and this is a great substitution for right now while I can't have my own dog. I’m very active and I enjoy being outside so walking a dog combines two things that I love: dogs and exercise! At the end of the workday I don’t always want to do a full workout but having a pet to care for is a great excuse. I will follow the owners' guidelines. I've cared for older dogs and I understand how important their schedule is. If I have questions I will not hesitate to reach out rather than assume.

I love to break up the day at lunch and walk as well! Plus it is lonely working all alone! I need the company. I am a forever dog owner who misses having a dog of my own! My last dog nickname was princess and the pea because she refused to sit on hard surfaces :) I'm happy to treat you fur babies with the same amount of love and follow all their house rules!
About: I’m an owner of an overly friendly lab mix rescue. I’ve currently relocated to Newport for my husband’s military career and would love to take care of your pet or go for walks. I’m currently awaiting licensure for my healthcare field in RI and so have plenty of time for playing, walking and taking care of your pet as I cannot start working until I am licensed. I like to go for walks and/or play in the home or backyard if fenced in. I am open to taking the dog in my car to the dog park for more socialization.

“Tallyn was able to accommodate my last minute request. She was very responsive and took great care of my dog. It is apparent from the pictures she sent that Daisy made a new friend. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I worked at a pet boarding facility all through high school and college. At this job I cared for both cats and dogs as well as some more exotic pets. I was a primary carer, walker, feeder, and administered medications. Along with this experience I grew up with large dogs and now have a 3 year-old cat of my own. I am currently pursuing a masters degree at the University of Rhode Island and am looking to make some extra money while being able to spend time around animals. I'd love to care for yours when you can't be there. Because I'm in classes throughout the week my schedule is pretty odd. I am free every evening and have breaks throughout the day for walks and drop-ins. I will try to make any time work! I primarily visit clients homes and take pets for walks or playtimes in the yard depending on the family's preferences. I'm a big player and happy to spend lots of time outside!
