Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kingston
“I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Willow had a great stay with Dana! We came back to pick something up that I left and Willow couldn’t contain her excitement. Dana is very prompt to respond and was able to accommodate a last minute request for us. Willow came back exhausted after her 3 night stay! This is a good fit for dogs that love other dogs (there were at least 6 other dogs while Willow was there). Lots of room to run and play so it’s like non stop daycare.”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! Our little furrie friend had a wonderful time and loved his daily walks. Lots of correspondence and pics from Christina to keep us in the know. Could not ask for more ...”
“Karissa is very caring and will love your dogs like her own for the time she has them. She sends pictures at least once a day so you know they’re doing well. My dog had a great weekend while I was away. Would book again if I need it! Thank you so much!”
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would! This was the longest time apart from my pup and was very nervous, Erica and family made me feel at ease with her communication and pictures of my pup. I feel at ease to have a sitter that is close and cares for a GSD who is anxious at baseline. Thanks you!”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Yunshu is always great with Lucy. She is our go to for having a great place to bring our dog. She is a great communicator and I always know that our dog is in loving, caring hands with Yunshu and her lovely family.”
“Thomas was wonderful with our senior dog, Nikko! They went on lots of walks and adventures in the woods and to the beach! He sent us lots of pictures while we were away and we’ll definitely be using him in the future!”
“Natalia and her husband provided excellent care for Gigi! They were so kind, and provided lots of updates and pictures, which we loved! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Gigi stay with them again (and Archie, of course!!). Thank you so much!! Look forward to seeing you again 🙂”
“This was Peach‘s second overnight stay with Chris and Whitney. Once again, our expectations were exceeded. Peach was in great spirits and was well taken care of!”
“I brought my beloved Pomeranian Samara to Zoe this week. She spent two nights and when I picked her up she was happy and very tired from all her playing with another little dog. Zoe has a fenced back yard and Samara was free to run unleashed and enjoying zoomies. Zoe kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I felt so grateful for Zoe's outstanding and kind care. I will definitely trust her again.”
“Kimberly was amazing! She sent us plenty of photos and updates while we were away. That really put our minds at ease! Our guy Bosun came home tired and happy!”
“My dogs were taken care of like they were a part of the family! This was their first time being away and I was super nervous but after receiving pictures of them enjoying their time, I had no fear. I would let Brian watch my dogs again, with no hesitation.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and 3 dogs of my own as an adult. I currently have a 4 year old sheepdog mix, she is the light of my life. I am fully retired and looking to keep busy and earn a little money, taking care of your pet(s) as though they were my own. I am retired and enjoy spending my days with a fitness class and being outdoors as much as possible. I’m readily available to provide undivided attention to your furry family member(s). Play dates with my pup are an option as well as boarding in my home. I always use a leash. My home has a fenced yard. I will pick up after the pet, feed, medicate, etc. I will treat your pet and your home as I would my own.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of all different breads and sizes. I can handle large/strong dogs as well as puppies that need extra attention. We have kids and our own dog (Beira, the Scottish Terrier) so I know how important good, easy care is. As well as patience and attention. I am available during most days for quick care and walks built around school and kid activities. I have my own car and can make the trips or even transport if needed. Overnight care can be discussed as I'm open to it under a week long. I am flexible enough to meet your pet care needs. Basic walks and play, feeding, medicine distribution, and anything else you need. I myself am active so playing isn't an issue or even giving baths.

Cat caregivers near you - Kingston
About: I've taken care of my neighbors cats for about 3 years give or take. I got my own cat about 2 years ago and he is one of my bestest animal friends. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, cases of emergency, and one time I was sitting a cat the owner had me take it on walks! I have never had to administer medicine on a cat before, but I have for dogs so it is definitely something I could figure out or learn.
“Madalyn has been absolutely amazing, she has been very responsive and helpful with my dog's needs. She's also been very flexible with any changes. She's been very responsible and we're happy to continue using her services anytime we travel”
“Hayley looked after our dog for a long weekend while we were away. She was fantastic! She did a great job writing updates and sharing photos, and also did a lovely job engaging with our neighbors! Thanks Hayley!”
About: I’m a lifelong cat owner who has shared my home with cats at every stage of life — from bottle-fed kittens to beloved seniors. I’ve cared for multiple cats at once and know that every cat has its own personality, quirks, and comfort level with strangers. I specialize in drop-in visits in your home, because I genuinely believe cats are happiest in their own space. Whether your cat greets me at the door or takes three days to come out from under the bed, I’m patient, calm, and happy to work on their timeline. I have experience with shy and anxious cats, and I’m comfortable with special feeding routines and dietary needs. South Kingstown locals — I know how hard it is to find reliable cat care in South County. I keep my service area small intentionally, so I can give your cats the consistent, unhurried attention they deserve while you’re away
“I needed a sitter last minute, came across Jordan's profile, and was so pleased with the care she gave to my cat Glinda!!!! She was communicative, reliable and flexible!! I will without a doubt use Jordan in the future and would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’ve had my cat since I was 15 years old, and now at 24, I’ve been her primary caregiver for nearly a decade. From the very beginning, I’ve been fully responsible for her daily care — feeding, litter maintenance, grooming, playtime, vet visits, and making sure she feels safe and loved every single day. Because I’ve exclusively cared for her myself, I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to cats. I’m very in tune with feline behavior and body language, whether that means giving them space, engaging them in interactive play, or offering plenty of affection when they want it. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m careful with doors, mindful of routines, and respectful of each cat’s unique personality. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your cat will receive gentle, attentive, and loving care with me — always. 🐾
“Tallon did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away! I will call her again when we need a sitter! She sent pics and let me know each time she visited. Thank you Tallyn!”
About: I’ve taken care of many cats, and co owned a kitten with a past roomate and helped train her. I make a point to feed on time and clean litter boxes daily. I love nothing more than playing with playful cats, or simply coexisting with cats who prefer their space.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive, patient, and adaptable to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy and comfortable. My patience and calm approach are especially helpful when caring for puppies who are still learning routines and senior dogs who may need extra support, gentleness, and attention. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to offer pet care services after 5 PM Monday through Thursday, along with open availability on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and happy to accommodate special requests, including extended stays and flexible care arrangements whenever possible. I always prioritize safety and comfort while caring for animals. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I supervise pets during walks, playtime, meals, and outdoor time. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Keira was one of the best pet sitters I ever have, communicates, trustworthy, and sent lots of photos. I was very relieved and grateful for having Keira, will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve loved cats since I was a little girl! I even saved a stray mama and took care of her until she had her babies (very cool experience for an 8 year old!) then I helped find homes for them. Of course, I had to keep one! I named her Kit. I've had cats since I was a young - Tabby cats, Tuxedo cats- I love them all. I now have a barn cat who I've had for 8 years! She waits for me every night to come and feed her in the barn. She keeps her distance, but she knows I am there to help her. She definitely knows my voice and footsteps. Sometimes she will leave me an occasional mouse! I also had an old cat who needed fluid and I used to give her subcutaneous fluids with a syringe, so I have some experience with old and sick cats.
About: I grew up around 5 cats (some indoor and others outdoor) and gained a lot of experience handling them and dealing with differences in temperament. I’m a very gentle and calm person and cats tend to gravitate towards me. Currently I live with two cats and would love to take care of more!
“Shannon took care of our cat, Penelope for a week while we were away. She was super responsive, spent time playing with her, and even helped us out with our mail. It’s comforting to know when she’s there!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kingston
“Maple had been with us for only 3 weeks and it was the first time leaving her for an afternoon. We now believe that she'd like to know when we're planning to go away again (so she can go back to Sharon's house). It worked out very very well. Sharon is calm and more than competent.”
About: I am sure to take great care of your pet. I will keep them playing, walking cuddling, napping, and making new friends.

“Dana was awesome and Cali loved playing with her pups! She was able to watch Cali with such short notice and took great care of her! She sent me photos and videos throughout the day and kept me updated with how she was adjusting!”
About: I am an animal lover. I have watched other’s pets for long and short periods of time (6 months). From puppy to elder dog. To healthy to needing medications. Your dog, when with me, is the most important person in the world to me. I don’t text or talk on the phone when with your pet. All my attention is focused on your loved ones safety I work part time from home. Very flexible hours You name the time of day or night and I can be there. I am looking for 3-4 regular clients. I cannot have a pet overnight. It’s not allowed where I live. I can watch your pet at your pets home, which I think makes them feel more comfortable. I normally just sleep on the couch with the dogs. When they are with me, they are as loved as they are my own. It’s very hard for me to say goodbye so it’s often when I am with a doggy for 45 min and I am only booked for 30 min. I am just switching to Rover from Wag I had over 300 dogs and 50 preferred clients. If you were to go to their site, you will see, I am by the numbers, their highest rated walker. I am switching to River because I feel Rover provides more support for the walker and the pet owner
About: I am very sensitive about dogs feeling and mood. And I have many experiences that they can read my thoughts. So always try to do my best to treat them sincerely. I am stay at home mom and have a dog called Rhody. The most important thing for me when it comes to caring for a dog is to be trusted by the dog, and to make it feel secure where it stays. I always try to communicate through the eye contact with them or their gestures. And I make a schedule so that I can take a walk in the sun for about an hour a day in addition to their bathroom time. Because regular exercise and sunbathing help dogs feel bright and their mind and body function smoothly. Clients can customize schedules for their dogs to me, and I won't deviate from his routine as much as possible. I always fill your dog with leashes and go for a walk, but if they meet me several times and have a solid relationship, I also take them to the dog park. If they need to release their energy. A scaredy or old dog can make my family have a blast at home.
“Jen is the best and is super flexible with our crazy schedules. She takes care of our little girl with the utmost care and love. Daisy is sad to go on vacation and miss Jen’s place!💕”

“Belle is a thoughtful and confidence-inspiring gal. She is warm, punctual, a good communicator and, clearly, loves caring for critters. Our pup took to her right away and was thrilled to see her when she returned for a subsequent visit. On thier last outing our pet tracker logged some 14,000 steps prior to Belle returning a sleepy and contented pooch. I'm sure that Remy is looking forward to her next visit.”

About: I'm pretty new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors, and have experience administering oral medications, handling emergencies, and providing daily exercise and enrichment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services to learn your pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, my goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every home with respect—often leaving it a little cleaner than I found it. I am working a part time job during the weekdays, usually the shifts are 11am-4 or 5pm, and on the weekends I work longer shifts which vary in time. However... I have many weeks off here and there so I am free a lot of the time. My job is pretty flexible most of the time so I can leave work to walk your pups and make sure they are okay and then go back to work. My yard has an Invisible Fence for my dogs which works out quite nicely and whenever I have other people's dogs over I make sure to keep them on a leash so no accidents happen. That being said, I live with my parents so I would be more geared towards servicing in home visits and stays with your pets at your home.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. I had a dog growing up and have a cat from childhood into my twenties, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. From walks, playtime, and training reinforcement to litter care, feeding schedules, and lots of cuddles — I’m comfortable and confident with both dogs and cats. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently applying to graduate school for my Master’s in Nursing and working part-time, which has helped me become very organized, responsible, and mindful with my schedule. I plan my days carefully and make sure I have dedicated time set aside for pet visits, walks, feeding, and quality attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is actually a great balance to my academic and work responsibilities. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening care, I make sure each visit is unhurried, attentive, and focused on your pet’s safety and comfort. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m very affectionate and love giving pets the attention they deserve, but I also prioritize safety above everything. I’m attentive to routines, careful with doors and leashes, mindful on walks, and respectful of any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they feel safe.
“Hayley is the absolute best. Our pets love her, and we’ve been using her for some time now. She always goes above and beyond, and leave great notes about each check in.”

Feed him. And obviously making sure he is the happiest puppy in town.
“I couldn't be happier with Heather taking care of my energetic Jack Russell Phineas yesterday. She was kind to listen to and quell my nervous dog mom concerns and communicated with me promptly every time. She took him for an extended walk/run which he clearly loved and did great. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Ever since a young age, I have been taking care of animals. For 14 years, I had a white German Shepherd, and she was truly part of the family. Starting in high school I would volunteer to pet sit for anyone who needed my services! No matter big or small, I love them all. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pets of my own currently, so I have to get my puppy loving from other peoples pets! I’d love to get the chance to help you out! Right now I’m currently available after 4:30 PM during the weekdays. If given enough notice, I’m available, full weekends as well. I know most people love planning ahead and so do I! Considering your pet will be in their own home, I will do my best to stick to their usual routine. Whether it’s letting them out on a leash or in your fenced in backyard. If your pet uses a cage, I will follow whatever protocol you choose!
“Shannon took great care of our two rowdy boys! Our dogs are big and she handled them great. She made sure they had water food and treats before she left too. Highly recommend and will be contacting her again!”
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.

“Tallyn helped me out with my dog Cooper when I unexpectedly had to work evenings with very short notice. It was too hot to walk that week so she spent time with Cooper in my backyard giving him some nice shaded exercise. Excellent communication and great pictures of my dog during her visits. I would be very happy to use her again.”

“I want Sharon to be my pups forever auntie. I have never boarded any of my dogs. I lost my boxer at the end of December 2002. I’ve always had dogs but as time passed I felt this sense of freedom that I’d never experienced before. I booked a 7 day trip to Nashville. I had no responsibilities so why not right? 3 months before the trip (November 4th 2023) I went to an adoption event and came home with a very scared Texas pup. Sharon took him several times before our trip so that he could get to know her. He is not easy to say the least. She was great with him. While we were away she sent me daily messages and pictures. She kept reassuring me that he was doing great and telling me to enjoy myself when I would tell her I couldn’t wait to get home to him. When we returned to get him he wanted to stay with her. When we got outside to leave he ran back inside with her. Sharon had big smile she again reassured me that it happens sometimes. I am so lucky to have found Sharon and will 100% recommend her to everyone.”
“Willow had a great stay with Dana! We came back to pick something up that I left and Willow couldn’t contain her excitement. Dana is very prompt to respond and was able to accommodate a last minute request for us. Willow came back exhausted after her 3 night stay! This is a good fit for dogs that love other dogs (there were at least 6 other dogs while Willow was there). Lots of room to run and play so it’s like non stop daycare.”
“Karen, Chris, and their family were truly the best of the best when it came to caring for our Sunny while we were away on vacation for a week. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave him—he absolutely adored them and their dog! He even whined on the car ride home because he didn’t want to leave, which says everything. Karen provided multiple daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see how comfortable, happy, and well cared for Sunny was throughout the week. We truly can’t recommend them enough and feel so lucky to have found such incredible sitters. Thank you again, Karen, Chris, Abby, Joe, and Charm —Sunny already misses you all so much!”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! Our little furrie friend had a wonderful time and loved his daily walks. Lots of correspondence and pics from Christina to keep us in the know. Could not ask for more ...”
“Kelly was very responsive and accommodating to us when we needed to book a last minute stay for our pup Holly! Holly was taken care of very well and had a great time! We will definitely use again in the future!”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would! This was the longest time apart from my pup and was very nervous, Erica and family made me feel at ease with her communication and pictures of my pup. I feel at ease to have a sitter that is close and cares for a GSD who is anxious at baseline. Thanks you!”
“Thomas was wonderful with our senior dog, Nikko! They went on lots of walks and adventures in the woods and to the beach! He sent us lots of pictures while we were away and we’ll definitely be using him in the future!”
“Natalia and her husband provided excellent care for Gigi! They were so kind, and provided lots of updates and pictures, which we loved! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Gigi stay with them again (and Archie, of course!!). Thank you so much!! Look forward to seeing you again 🙂”
“This was Peach‘s second overnight stay with Chris and Whitney. Once again, our expectations were exceeded. Peach was in great spirits and was well taken care of!”
“I brought my beloved Pomeranian Samara to Zoe this week. She spent two nights and when I picked her up she was happy and very tired from all her playing with another little dog. Zoe has a fenced back yard and Samara was free to run unleashed and enjoying zoomies. Zoe kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. I felt so grateful for Zoe's outstanding and kind care. I will definitely trust her again.”
“Kimberly was amazing! She sent us plenty of photos and updates while we were away. That really put our minds at ease! Our guy Bosun came home tired and happy!”
“My dogs were taken care of like they were a part of the family! This was their first time being away and I was super nervous but after receiving pictures of them enjoying their time, I had no fear. I would let Brian watch my dogs again, with no hesitation.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and 3 dogs of my own as an adult. I currently have a 4 year old sheepdog mix, she is the light of my life. I am fully retired and looking to keep busy and earn a little money, taking care of your pet(s) as though they were my own. I am retired and enjoy spending my days with a fitness class and being outdoors as much as possible. I’m readily available to provide undivided attention to your furry family member(s). Play dates with my pup are an option as well as boarding in my home. I always use a leash. My home has a fenced yard. I will pick up after the pet, feed, medicate, etc. I will treat your pet and your home as I would my own.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of all different breads and sizes. I can handle large/strong dogs as well as puppies that need extra attention. We have kids and our own dog (Beira, the Scottish Terrier) so I know how important good, easy care is. As well as patience and attention. I am available during most days for quick care and walks built around school and kid activities. I have my own car and can make the trips or even transport if needed. Overnight care can be discussed as I'm open to it under a week long. I am flexible enough to meet your pet care needs. Basic walks and play, feeding, medicine distribution, and anything else you need. I myself am active so playing isn't an issue or even giving baths.
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Eugene was amazing with Penny. He took her on walks to the park and to the beach. He has a fenced in back yard where she ran around chasing toys. He even gave her a chamomile bath! He sent plenty of photos of the fun.”
““Absolutely stellar experience. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs shone through. The booking process was seamless, and I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their care. The updates and photos they provided throughout my dog’s stay were not only reassuring but truly heartwarming. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to ensure every pup feels safe, loved, and entertained. I returned to a happy, well-exercised dog who clearly had a blast during their stay. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pet. They’ve earned a loyal customer for life!””
