“Michelle took care of my very shy and anxious cat while I was away on a long international vacation. She sent me videos and tons of pictures every day and copied everything into WhatsApp to make sure I could access it. She even forwarded the updates to my partner, too. My cat warmed up to her almost immediately (and he’s VERY picky)! She took such excellent care of him and I felt so much more at ease with her updates. I would recommend Michelle to anyone with a pet.”

“So happy Emily was able to take care of our cat. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and we got timely responses when we had follow up questions/ needs. Lots of great pictures which put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond. We'd highly recommend her!”

“Paul was amazing. My cat had some last minute health issues come up requiring multiple medicines and many more visits than initially expected. Paul rolled with it and upon return, my cat was the happiest she's ever been following my being gone for an extended period of time. Would definitely recommend and will be looking to hire Paul again whenever I leave town. Thanks again from Nellie and I!”

“Isabelle was super communicative and took care of our cat exactly as we needed! The photos and updates from her visits were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Looking forward to rebooking for future travel!”


“Bri is such a great pet sitter that I almost don't want to share! But really, she is excellent. Trustworthy, communicative, through and very professional. She always adheres to our (very exacting) instructions and is gentle and kind with our cats. Our go-to for sitting, we appreciate all that she does to keep our minds at ease when we travel, and Bri understands how important this is to us.”


“Kim did a great job watching the boys and tending to their mischievous adventures climbing into the rafters.?? She stayed at the house and showed great respect for my space. I will definitely book her again.”


“Jules was absolutely amazing! We have 2 shy cats and she was able to get them to cuddle and play with her! She took a ton of photos and spent the time to give us updates every day and even brought in our mail! Our cats seemed so comfortable around her! Will definitely book again!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! Maryann was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Maryann kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat was relaxed and well-fed. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy and kind looking after your fur baby. I will definitely be booking again!”


About: I have always lived with and taken care of cats, from kitten to old age. I’ve been trusted by many friends and community members with their pets and as a new member of the Providence area I am excited to continue this legacy. I am patient and caring and know how to build trust with cats to allow them to feel safe with me.
“Katarina took great care of our kitties while we went away for the weekend. From our first phone conversation, it was very clear how much she loves animals and it left us feeling reassured that our babies were in capable & loving hands. She sent us pivs of our babies and gave daily updates. Great work by an excellent pet sitter. We would not hesitate to use Katarina again!”


About: I've been a cat owner for many years and have cared for multiple cats with different personalities and needs. Having owned two cats and currently caring for one, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, respecting boundaries, and providing a calm, comfortable environment. I'm experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing when a cat needs space or extra attention. I treat every cat as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away!
“Katie did a phenomenal job with my cat Gracie! She was communicative, kind, and attentive to detail - and I had a lot of confidence leaving my cat in her care. I came home to a happy cat and a house just like I left it (emptied trash, fresh sheets, clean dishes) - would happily use her services again!”


“Noah has catsit for us a few times now and he’s so attentive to Mac and communicative about how he’s doing. We will hire Noah again and highly recommend him to watch your pet!”

“Stephanie was extremely accommodating for my pets needs over the holidays! I was out of the country but she communicated with me amazingly and went above and beyond to help me and my cat! Truly amazing!!”


“Sam took fantastic care of our 3 cats while we were away! She did a great job making sure the cats ate their food and administering medication. We appreciated Sam’s updates and communication. We will rebook with Sam the next time we travel, and would recommend her to others!”


“Meira was an incredible sitter for my two cats when I was away on vacation. She was always on time, consistent with updates, and more than willing to provide extra love and attention. I would definitely use her as a sitter again!”


“Susan was amazing with our cat Molly! She followed all the notes/and rules we left for the apartment and for Molly. Susan was respectful of the apartment and honestly left it cleaner than we left it for her! We got updates every night and photos of Molly. Susan was amazing, reliable, transparent, and very diligent with being clean during these COVID times! We're looking forward to having Susan again when we travel!”

“From the moment I met Dorota, I knew that I could trust her with my pup's life! Dorota is so friendly, warm and caring! She updated me with pictures while she watched my dog and my dog had a blast! We will be booking with her in the future.”


About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Another great few days with Ty! She communicates clearly, follows through on all logistics and timelines, and most importantly, cares for Dexter with kindness and diligence. He loves spending time with her!”

“Anely has watched our dog twice now and he has always come back happy! She takes a lot of pictures so we know he is safe and having fun. Definitely recommend Anely!”

“Sonia is absolutely fantastic! My dog Isla had an amazing time and was so happy and tired when we picked her up. We'll definitely keep rebooking going forward! Having just adopted my dog ~6 months ago, this is the first time we've left her with anyone other than family and I have to say I was SO comfortable and happy knowing that she was in great care. Sonia sent pictures almost immediately to let us know Isla was settling in and more to follow up during the day. Highly, highly recommend Sonia-- wonderful experience knowing that my dog was in the best possible hands!”

“Zachary was great and took Oakley in last-minute after my other sitter cancelled. He was very understanding of Oakley's needs and they seemed to have a great time!”

“Isabel took wonderful care of Dexter this week! We so enjoyed her thoughtful and informative daily updates. She made sure he was comfortable, following his usual daily schedule and fostering positive and playful interactions with her dog Griggs. We are grateful for her proactive and in-depth communication and her timely pickups and dropoffs. She is a dog sitting gem!”

“Lisa was so good with our dog, very attentive, and very clearly a pet lover! We also received many cute pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Our dog had a great time with her. Highly recommend!”

“Joseph was exceptional. I needed to find a caring, reliable day care situation for my dog overnight as my work schedule had shifted drastically. Within less than an hour of contacting him, Joseph and I were on the phone figuring out if Stevie would be a good fit. He was understanding and reassuring, and I felt great about taking her to his home the next day. His family was so kind to her, and she clearly had a blast as she was out like a light as soon as we were in the car. Joseph is a ridiculously lucky find, let alone in stressful last minute circumstances. Will definitely be booking with him again!”

About: Hi! I’m Georga, a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of experience. I’m also a full time graduate student who mostly works from home, so I have lots of time and attention to give to your pets. I have a Boston terrier named Harley, a goofy and friendly 4 year old who loves making new friends (human and furry alike!) so I know important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and loved while you’re away and that’s exactly is exactly the kind of care I provide. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan walks, drop in visits, and playtime throughout the day, and I enjoy breaking up my work with some pet cuddles. I will follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible and send lots of update pics along the way! Overall, I will spend quality time giving attention, play, and enrichment so your pet can feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I grew up with animals throughout my life. I started dog walking other families dogs or pet sitting at about 13. I have two cats, and currently walk two dogs a few times a week. I am a nurse and currently in school for my masters. I work nights so I am home daily and love to take care of pets in between class. Trust is a big part of pet care. As someone who has pets trusting someone to walk or pet sit is a big deal. Since I am home all the time your pet will never be alone and always comfortable.
“From the moment I pulled up, I had a great feeling about leaving Caroline with Matthew. He was outside playing with his pup and the strong bond they have was obvious. While watching Caroline, Matthew sent great photos and was very communicative. Would 100% recommend for doggy daycare!”

“Gilbert is the best Rover host I’ve had the pleasure of using to watch Leo. I was provided videos throughout the day and Leo played hard with Gilbert’s dog Moon all day. I couldn’t be happier and I’m going back tomorrow for one more day. Gilbert was also very flexible with my schedule as I hit a snag during my business in Providence.”

“Marcy loves staying with Michelle! She always eagerly runs to the door at dropoff. Michelle is great about sending updates throughout the day as well.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.

“Beyond excellent! Paul took great care of our elderly dog while we were away. We so appreciate the extra attention to her. We would hire Paul again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”


“Susan goes about and beyond! I don’t know what I would do w/o her and my Bentley loves her. She cares for him as if Her as if he were her own dog. I’m so glad we found her.:).”

“I would highly recommend Emily!!! She has been great so far with everything, from giving updates after each walk to communicating for each week’s schedule. I now have peace of mind that when I am at work my dog is in great hands!”


About: Hi! I'm Victor, an East Side Providence local with a pretty simple philosophy: dogs deserve a walk that's actually enjoyable, not just a quick loop around the block. I spend a lot of time outdoors, paddleboarding on the Providence River, walking Blackstone Boulevard, exploring the neighborhood, so your dog will be in good hands with someone who genuinely likes being outside. I've walked friends' dogs regularly and know how to read a dog's pace and energy. When I'm not outside I teach piano lessons for families on the East Side. Calm, attentive, and always on time. Available mornings, afternoons, and weekends. East Side only. I know every good route. I'm an early riser and work flexible hours, so mornings and afternoons are wide open most days. Dog walks fit naturally into my routine since I'm already outside exploring the East Side regularly. Weekends work well too. I offer walks only, so I'll be caring for your dog out in the neighborhood rather than at home. I keep dogs leashed at all times, stay attentive to their energy and pace, and always have water available on longer walks. I treat every dog like they belong to someone who trusts me completely, because they do.
“Ellie has been great taking care of my dogs! She always updates me on what time she is coming and takes lots of pictures. I trust her to give my dogs the attention they need while I am gone :)”

“Katie walked our two dogs three times a day for a week and was fantastic. She was always on time and sent photo updates. We would love to have Katie walk our dogs again - would absolutely recommend her!”

“Maryann, watched our small dog Milo. She took good care of him and even walked him. Milo can be difficult at times and we told her this and she still agreed to watch him. I would recommend her to watch your dogs.”

“Michelle is amazing!! Our rescue has some issues and warmed up to Michelle very quickly. Michelle takes such good care of Wynona, is an excellent communicator, and sends the sweetest photos from each visit. We're so grateful to have found Michelle and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

About: I've personally owned a dog for 17 years & have cared for other people's pets (including dogs) in their homes for many years, so I'm familiar & skilled in pet care & love providing this service . One of my life routines includes walking for exercise and I would enjoy walking your dog/s with me. I'm currently unemployed and available for this service. I am not available to keep your dog in the place I reside because I am a renter & that service is not permitted on the grounds

About: I am an emergency room nurse and animal caregiver! I have been a nurse for three years and a life long animal lover as well. I have experience raising rats, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I’d love to take care of your fur-babies when you need help while busy at work or trying to fit in a last minute vacation! I work three days a week and overall have pretty open availability to be able to provide high quality pet care while also cleaning up and leaving your place the way you found it before you left! I am available for dog walking, litter boxes, meal times, quality time, light house-cleaning, and any other pet need related to cats, dogs, or any other kind of furry friends you may need help with while you are away!
“We loved having Emanuela walk our dog. She was always timely and sent plenty of photos and updates about the walk each day. She walked our dog with hers, which our dog loved but she also made it clear that wasn’t necessary if that arrangement doesn’t work for your dog. Our pup loves other dogs so the option worked out extremely well for us. We’ll be booking her again.”
About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mid x rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies m kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!
