Dog Walking Shannock

“Deanna was an absolute gem as my dog sitter. My dog, Koji, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is a truly kind and wonderful person who provided thoughtful, gentle, and loving care to my senior dog. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Koji was in such capable and compassionate hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Deanna’s services.”

About: I have had dogs since I was a child. I adopted a Golden Retriever from the South before I married and then adopted another dog (Springer/Brittany mix) from the shelter once I was married. He was the best $25 I ever spent!! He was like my best friend! Then we rescued a German Short Haired Pointer- what a love ! Those boys were very active and required daily runs! I took care of them both until they passed away. When they left us, we rescued two English Setters from Turkey. They are hands down my absolute sweethearts. They are 10 and 12 now. We aren’t running the beach anymore, but we are very happy with long walks in the woods. They are so spoiled - sleep by the fire, sleep in bed with us, sleep in my car- it’s like their crate and they absolutely love to be in it. I also had a cat that I rescued who lived 8 years with us until he passed away and now I have a barn cat. I feed her nightly, but I’m positive I’ve been feeding an opossum for some time! We have met a couple of times- from a distance! I feed her, talk to her nicely and let her be. I have also taken care of my neighbor’s Irish Wolf Hound when my neighbor had long days of doctor appointments in Boston. I am excited to start taking care of cats and dogs for more people. I know what it’s like to need someone you can trust. My pets are like my children! I am obsessed with their well being. I want them to be happy, safe, well fed, exercised and loved all the time!!! I promise to take the best care of your pet and give them all the love they need when you can’t be home. I am very dependable, patient and trustworthy. I was a preschool special education teacher in Providence for 16 years before I became a stay at home mom. My kids are teens now, so have some time to devote to pet care. I'm currently a stay at home mom and I help my parents out as well. I have plenty of time to pop in for walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing and giving lots of LOVE to your pet! I will follow your directions "down to a T." I will give your pets lots of love and keep them safe while you are away! I am super trustworthy, dependable, kind and patient.

About: Experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, energy levels, and play styles, from active working and sporting breeds to relaxed companion dogs. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 5 year old Blue Heeler mix and no children, so I have lots of free time for pet care I want to keep your pet’s day as routine as possible, whether that requires set walking, enrichment, or nap times. I will ensure my time with them is comforting and fun.

“Jessica truly went above and beyond with our rescue pup. She was patient, communicative and clearly cared about our dog! I would highly recommend her!”

“Susan has been taking such care with my English Bulldog, George, when she takes him on walks. It has been a huge relief to have a responsible, caring person walking my dog while I am away from home for extended time.”

About: Hi, I'm Greta, and I'm happy to offer my petsitting services! As a lifelong animal lover, I've always felt a special connection with our furry friends. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to horses. This early exposure taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and responsible care. I'm experienced in feeding, walking, administering medication, and, most importantly, showering pets with love and affection. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can stay connected and while you're away. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and create a positive and memorable experience for everyone! I am also able to provide full time care upon request. My schedule tends to stay pretty open. I have another job, but my shifts are usually just 4-6 hours a couple days a week, so I can provide full care outside of that time. I care for pets according to whatever their needs are. I will happily follow any instructions given to me, whether the pet needs special medication or specific care, I am open to most.

About: I've had at least one dog in my house since I was in first grade. My first dog is no longer with us however, I currently have a 9-year-old black lab and a 7-month-old silver lab. My dogs love to go on hiking trails, and with your permission, I can also take your dog to new locations. I unfortunately don't have experience with other people's dogs except for friends and family. I'm currently working part-time, so I'm very flexible with times. I will put my dogs' needs first, however, making sure I have time to give them the exercise and attention they deserve. My dogs are my best friends. I always show love and respect towards them. I also understand how a dog's life can be boring sometimes. Giving them a new environment to sniff out creates a happy and exhausted pup. I try to take my older dog on a new walk/hike every week to give them an adventure and something to look forward to. I'm hoping to provide the same for your dogs. I am also a runner, so I wouldn't mind running alongside your dog. Walking/hiking/running, whatever you prefer.

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up with a family dog & cat taught me how to care for pups/kitties of all personalities, and now I have fur babies of my own who are my whole world. I'm experienced with walking routines, feeding schedules, and have dog/cat sat many times for friends and family and am comfortable doing both. I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your dog, so I'm here to give your pup or feline the same love and attention I give mine. There's nothing I enjoy more than helping fellow animal parents and making sure their fur babies are happy, safe, and spoiled while they're away! I currently work in the Hospitality Industry for a local hotel group, but am completely free evenings and all day on Sunday's & Mondays. I am very flexible though and willing to accommodate! I know pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I'll maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I'm very flexible and will follow your instructions exactly how you'd like – from feeding schedules to how much affection to give (or respectful space if they're shy). I'll keep their area clean and send you updates so you have peace of mind. I love and care for every pet like they're my own, so you can trust they're in good hands. I can also water plants, bring in mail, or help with any other small tasks to keep your home running smoothly while you're away.

“I appreciate Rachel’s prompt walking of my dog!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have raised puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my elder dog, so I’m happy to spend time with yours. Looking forward to spending time, walking and playing with your dog, cat, kitten or puppy. I work part time so I’m very flexible and active! I am available to stay with your pet, and give them exercise and lots of attention needed to keep them happy! I am familiar with picky eaters and administering medication if needed.

About: Hi! 👋 I’m Jay and im excited to get to know you and your pup! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved them- I’ve thrown dog parties and have always been the friend to call when dog sitting! I have lots of free time and I love taking walks so I’m sure your dog will love to hang with me! I’ve also been employed as a veterinarian technician and am always make sure your dog is safe and sound. Let me know if you’d like to hire me!

“Hannah was AMAZING! We were in town for a wedding with our 9 mo old Vizsla and she came to walk him twice and feed him dinner. Sent so many pictures and super thorough updates. Felt totally at ease knowing he was with her. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: What really sets me apart is my extensive expertise at both ends of the pet spectrum. I expertly train and socialize energetic young puppies – housebreaking, basic commands, leash manners, and building confidence without stress. For senior pets I deliver compassionate, specialized care that keeps them comfortable and thriving, with gentle routines for arthritis, medication reminders (oral or as prescribed), soft exercise, and calm, loving environments that reduce anxiety for our golden oldies. I treat every animal exactly like my own – tailoring walks, play, meals, and snuggles to their unique needs. You’ll receive daily photo/video updates and detailed reports so you never worry. Pet parents in Warwick and Providence consistently tell me my patience, reliability, and extra touches (like extra play sessions or favorite toys) make all the difference. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, dog walk, or longer sit, your furry family gets personalized, experienced care from a true partner who loves what they do. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the perfect flexibility to fit pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take extra walks, provide enrichment, and give each pet the one-on-one attention they deserve without ever feeling rushed. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, plus drop-ins or walks during those hours so your pets stay happy and on schedule every single day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment whether caring in my home or yours. For boarding in my home I provide a safe, secure space with supervised play and rest areas. I can crate if needed, supervise free time in secure spaces, and follow your exact feeding/walking routines. For walks or drop-ins in your home, I use your supplies, stick strictly to your schedule, keep everything clean and locked, and treat your space with total respect. I’m background-checked, Rover-insured, and always send real-time photo/video updates so you never worry.

About: Pets don't need much to be happy. Most are content with some peanut butter for dogs, or maybe a treat for the kittens! We all know that a little patients goes a long way, and we don't always have to understand to be able to help, and give good happy lives :) I'm here to help! Right now I'm fully available. Please consider me a full time pet manager, and I mean I'll walk! I'll talk! And I'll adapt to whatever it is you need done! I care for pets with the focus on maintaining consistency for the pets. So whatever the owner wants. It's important to lay it all out, and allow for small errors on all sides, and later we will build everything we need to succeed and give vitality to the pets!

About: I have years of experience taking care of pets, both professionally and at home. I am a former dog groomer, so I understand dog and cat behavior and know how to keep them feeling safe and comfortable! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your furry family members. I currently have open availability to take care of your pets in the comfort of your home. I would love to go on walks with your dogs, and even offer in home bathing and grooming services for an additional charge. I will be sure to keep your pets safe and happy during our visits, playtime, and walks. I would love to send you updates throughout our times together if you'd prefer!

About: I have experience professionally dog walking, pet sitting, and experience taking care of cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, exotic birds, and chickens. Pets are our family and I am prepared to treat them as such! I will make sure that your furry (or feathery) friends are well taken care of, loved, and safe while with me, whether it be a housesit, drop in visit, or walk. No requests are too much! I know we all want the best service for our pets and I am prepared to give that :) since I am now on summer break, I am fully flexible. Since I am new to this app I have lots of room for new clients, but availability will narrow with time! I am experienced in larger dogs along with many cats, and therefore I am able to provide adequate playtime, attention, food, and positive interactions with both species.

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or sticking to a routine, I make sure every furry friend in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. What makes me different is the balance of professional reliability and genuine care. I provide consistent communication with pet parents, lots of photo updates, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies/senior dogs/cat, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home/have a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day, making sure pets never feel lonely. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely to make sure everything feels familiar and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions, while also giving lots of playtime and affection. I always keep the home tidy and send updates with photos so owners feel reassured. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and part of my daily routine. That means regular walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and a cozy space to relax. I keep their routines consistent so they feel right at home.

About: Woof! Meow! Don’t be off put by my headline - I am a big fan of both dogs and cats. I love walking dogs and am also available to housesit. I am a full-time writer and I do a lot of my work from home so I am pretty flexible during the week and on weekends! I am available for dog walking, drop ins, and house sitting. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am more than happy to stay at your home when needed while providing your pets with all the love and care they need! I have experience with all kinds of dogs and of all ages.

About: I absolutely love going for walks and runs with dogs! Please see updated photos for some of my previous pet clients. Recently took care of a few hairless cats as well as a big dog! I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so messes do not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! Known for my positive and caring energy as a music therapist (who works alongside a pet therapist!) and music teacher, and with a mom with a college degree in animal science, I have a passion for animals in general. She is now dating a farmer and we now have a baby cow named clover who I help take care of occasionally on Sundays. Generally I am available in the middle of the day most days of the week for one-off visits. My boyfriend is a biologist and also has a small dog who I walk frequently in the mornings and at midnight (she’s a night owl like us!) Available to do drop-ins at your home within 45 mins of Montville - please message me at least one week before your trip to solidify the booking! Please be kind, respectful, and professional in your requests - I do not take last minute visits but would love to help you out with your furry friend. Not a veterinarian, just an animal lover with a lot of compassion!! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!
