“Kathy was wonderful with my cat Murphy! Sometimes he will not finish his food while I’m away, but he was very comfortable and happy with Kathy (& ate his food) . The daily updates/ rover cards were detailed and made feel very good about the care he was getting. I could tell that he enjoyed all the attention and playtime from the pictures! I plan on booking with Kathy in the future!”


“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”


“Thank you so much for taking care of the kitties!!! You kept me in the loop and up to date on their status and behaviors. With both kitties having medical issues and needing special care, I appreciate the attention to detail and additional time you took to make sure everything was just right. Thank you so much!!!”


“Alex was a great help! She was accommodating to meet us ahead of our reservation for a meet and greet. She took pictures during her visits with our cat, and updated us as necessary. So appreciative!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Grace! She took wonderful care of our dog Tilly while we were away for our engagement party. From the start, Grace was incredibly responsive and made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Tilly’s care. She checked in on her three times throughout the day and kept us updated with messages and adorable photos during each visit, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that Tilly was comfortable and happy in her care. We’re so grateful for Grace’s reliability and attentiveness—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter!”


“Justina was nothing short of exceptional with our babies! As a girl in her late 20s with older parents who were a bit on the fence using Rover, Justina came into the house with care and compassion and gave that same attitude with my girlies. She kept me in the loop with everything going on and made sure they were 100% taken care of while we were all out of town. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: I bring 9 years of experience as a trusted pet sitter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, and attention to detail, I love walking dogs and spending time with animals I work full time as a certified dental assistant. My availability are Wednesdays (my day off from work, but I tend to work half a day) after 5pm on weekdays, and full availability on weekends When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize creating a calm, comfortable, and stress free environment. I stick to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I ensure their water bowls are always full, provide plenty of love and attention, and clean up after them. I’m also happy to send regular updates with photos to keep you reassured while you’re away

“Diane is the best! Very personable and flexible - she helped us with a last minute medicine issue with our cats and she went the extra mile with keeping things cleaned and the fur babies happy!”


“Amazing! Jacqueline sent me pics and updates and my cats were really comfortable with her, I thought one of my cats was going to stay hiding but she came out and ate! Highly recommend, will be booking with Jacquline again.”


About: I have been taking care of pets for family, neighbors and friends my whole life. I enjoy spending time with and getting to know the personalities of each cat that I meet! I work from home, allowing me to have a lot of flexibility throughout the day to meet a variety of scheduling needs without much hassle I have two cats of my own. My house is just as much their house, and I take great care to maintain their personal boundaries and try to give them as comfortable of a life as possible

“Chelsea was a wonderful pet sitter! Misty was very well taken care of, and we got plenty of photos and updates which made us so happy to see. Thank you so much Chelsea!”



“Maureen visited with Chloe 3 times last week. She was very calm and confident from the beginning. We knew they would become friends quickly. One thing that Maureen did that was impressive was kneeling down to Chloe’s level when they first met. Chloe was barking as usual, but then stopped, sniffed , and turned around as if to say “you’re a friend”. We have made plans to have Maureen return on our next vacation.”


About: I’ve had and have been around many different kinds of animals since a child. I have trained and cared for animals of all breeds. I have also completed 30+ hours of community service at the Hotel for Homeless Dogs Animal Shelter. I love being active with pets, making sure they feel loved, cared for, and appreciated. I love all animals of all breeds and I always make sure they have the best time when i’m with them! I am a college student so in the Rhode Island area I am only available during the summer and during school breaks. During the school year I spend time doing dog walking and drop in visits. I have a big open yard for animals and a lot of space inside my house. I always make sure the pets are comfortable with me and their environment. I make sure to follow all rules giving by the owners while making sure the pet is in a happy condition.

Zane R.
“Zane (and his partner Leah) have watched both of our dogs multiple times. It first started with our first puppy, Miko. Our little guy loved Zane. We would use Zane everytime we went away because Miko seemed really comfortable with him. When we got our second dog, Zane did not mind at all. He was so good with both of them. Zane and Leah walk both of our dogs/watch them when we go away - EVERYTIME. There is no one else I would trust...but be prepared for your dogs to notice them in public and want to run over to them. Great pet caregivers 10/10”
