House Sitting Sterling

“Wendy was a wonderful sitter for Ziggy, providing updates and terrific care! She went above and beyond to leave the house spotless for our return. Hope to use her again in the future!”

Abigail H.

“Emily is an absolute treasure!!! You are always a little nervous leaving your pet with someone and letting someone stay in your home. From our initial meet and greet, to our stop by to go over final instructions, to being away for a family wedding, Emily put us at ease. She was here the entire weekend with our girl, made sure she got lots of playtime outside, and sent us pictures several times a day. She even sent us updates in the temp of our 150 gallon fish tank and sent pictures of our fish. The house is extremely clean and you cannot tell anyone was even here this weekend. We will definitely be booking Emily again and again.”

Christine D.

“We were very happy with Palma and would not hesitate to use her services again. Our two German shepherds were calm and content after we returned a few nights later. She left the house atleast as clean as she found it (maybe cleaner).”

Peter S.

“We will absolutely use Rayna again! She was very responsive, accommodating, gave us frequent updates and pictures of our fur baby as we were away. She made us feel comfortable with leaving our pup with her and our pup loved having her as company!”

About: I have always loved dogs my entire life. My childhood dog I had at 4 years old I was never able to live with, he lived with my aunt. He passed in 2024 and I have been missing my dog time ever since. I do love cats as well (not as much as dogs obviously), but I live with two cats and they’ve been with me since I was 8! By the way the last 2 pictures are a Costa Rican cat and an Icelandic cat! I work full time with kids with autism, and that takes up every weekday 9am-6pm. I would be available on weeknights Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends as well! I am willing to do whatever is needed for the pet! I haven’t cared for a dog in a couple years, but I can learn what is needed as long as you tell me what to do!

“Natalie spoiled my spoiled brats the entire time she stayed with them. Super flexible, helpful and professional. My heathen hounds and I agree she is their girl!”

About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

“Morgan watched our older dog and cat for a week. We came home to very happy pets, a clean house, and she even picked veggies from our garden. We got many cute pics during the week and communications were great. She managed medications perfectly. She is awesome!”

Ann R.

“Dina was absolutely fantastic. She took such great care of our sweet boy. Photo updates throughout each day made us feel much more comfortable about being away. I will absolutely, 100% be asking her to sit for us again.”

About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for the past couple of years. I started with family and friends animals and have recently started watching other peoples animals and I really enjoy it. I’ve walked, bathed, feed and swam with pets. I work part time at a movie theater and have a flexible schedule and can request days off if need be or work in the morning rather than night and vise versa if you need morning care. I Can crate dogs if needed, I won’t feed your pet anything unless okayed by owner first. I live to take pictures of animals so I can provide updates if needed. I enjoy walking and running with animals so if they need a walk outside or a ball thrown around a fenced yard I would be happy to do so.

About: What sets me apart from other dog and cat sitters is my personalized approach and deep love for animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. With a strong background in pet care and a genuine passion for animals, I provide reliable, attentive service that keeps both pets and owners at ease. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in expert hands while you’re away. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize offering flexible care, especially on weekends and holidays when many other sitters are unavailable. I understand that pets need attention and consistency, even during off hours. By providing services during these times, I ensure your pet receives reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a weekend trip, you can trust that your pet will be in safe, loving hands without interruption. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with a fenced yard where pets can run, play, and explore freely. Your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, fun, and one on one attention in a secure setting. Whether it's playtime outdoors or cozy relaxation indoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”

About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was 10 years old, and let’s just say my life has been a little bit of a zoo — and I wouldn’t have it any other way\! Over the years, I’ve been a proud mom to dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, geckos, ducks, chickens, and even roosters\. Yes, roosters\! If you’ve ever dealt with one, you know they have BIG personalities and absolutely no respect for sleeping in\! I’m also a proud rescue animal mom\. I have a special place in my heart for animals who need a little extra love, patience, and understanding\. From cuddly couch potatoes to independent cats with CEO\-level attitudes, I’ve experienced all kinds of personalities\. I understand that every animal is different\. Some want endless affection, some need extra patience, and others would prefer you simply refill their food bowl and mind your business\! **What my years of experience have taught me:** - Patience, compassion, and respect for every animal’s personality\. - The importance of routines, feeding schedules, and a safe environment\. - How to recognize when an animal needs attention, comfort, or personal space\. - That rescue animals sometimes need a little extra time to build trust\. - That animals are family, not just pets\. I take pet care seriously, even if I occasionally have full conversations with animals who clearly aren’t listening\. **Bottom line:** I’ve loved animals most of my life, rescued them, raised them, cleaned up after them, and been completely outsmarted by a few of them\. Your pets will be treated like family — spoiled with love, respected for their quirks, and cared for like they’re my own\. **I’ve handled roosters with attitude\. Your cat doesn’t scare me\!** 😹 I currently work part time pet sitting. I’m flexible, friendly and have a soft spot for rescued animals. I squeeze them, and love them and call them George 😀 I offer love, intuition, intelligence, and will treat your pet like my own. Communication is very important to me, and Mutual Trust. Getting my steps in everyday with a pet friend by my side = a Beautiful day ☀️

“Sophia took great care of my 2 dogs. She walked them, played with them outside, and sent me photos. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I am a mature single woman. I had a purebred Pomeranian whom I’ve loved and cherished for the last 16 years. Mister Cooper passed away in December. I can’t bear to get another dog but miss his companionship terribly. Since I work remotely and only require a router and a modem, I thought I’d try loving other people’s pets while traveling at the same time. Cooper was diabetic, requiring insulin injections twice a day. He was also blind and deaf. Cooper and I took 3 nice long walks every single day, until the last couple of years. We would walk in blizzards, nothing stopped him, he LOVED it! I am prepared and comfortable caring for pets with any physical ailments. I will travel just about anywhere in the country or the world. I am a non-smoker. I would like to keep assignments between 1 week and 1 month so I can spend time with my family and friends in Massachusetts. Please allow me the opportunity to love and spoil your pet. Sincerely, Laurie

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I had two Pekingese dogs when I was younger, they lived until 16 yrs old. A few years ago my family adopted a Border collie/lab mix. Benson is so energetic and loves to go on mile long walks. My husband and I also have a Labrador retriever, he loves to go on walks but more so to the dog park so we do frequent there. This past Christmas we also added a new addition to the family, Mikey, our hyperactive and fun labradoodle. He’s still a puppy but he’s definitely good at keeping us on our toes especially his older brother Jordey! I also have my own personal experience with dogs, Ive been walking/caring for others’ pets since 2017. I love it so much, meeting new dogs, all breeds, sizes and ages. I would love nothing more than to make your pet feel loved, safe and nurtured whether you just may be at work or away on a trip! But I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me even if it’s outside these times and maybe I can squeeze your furbaby into my schedule! I always tell my clients to feel free to leave me a note or list of things they’d love for me to follow. Can be any special dietary needs or structure they need me to follow.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many different shapes and sizes since I was 9. I grew up with a white Maltese named Jolina whom I absolutely adored. My friends and family have always felt comfortable leaving me to care for their pets while away on trips. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them all the attention they need! I will follow all instructions and make use of all toys or treats given to ensure your pup has the best time while you’re away.

“Laura was AMAZING!! We were so blessed to have found her!! Many thanks for the great communication, pictures and fabulous gifts she left for Julian! So thoughtful and kind!! Just cannot say enough great things about this beautiful young lady!! Definitely a keeper!!!”
