“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Nick and Veronica were wonderful with Finnegan. Very patient and gentle as Finnegan warmed up to them and kept us posted on his day with pictures and message updates. Finnegan enjoyed being with their two dogs as well and seemed to miss his pals when we got home. We felt very good about the kindness and care Finnegan received and we already have booked a second stay.”
“Devorat is an absolute dream. She is truly the pet-parent that you want if you have to be away from your own pet. My dog Mookie stayed with Devorat for 5 days and nights on very short notice. She messaged frequently in the first 24 hours to keep us updated on how Mookie was settling in, and sent plenty of photos during the entire stay. We could tell from the photos that he was clearly comfortable in his home-away-from-home. He and Toby were great playmates in the fenced-in backyard, and he Devorat were fast friends, with plenty of couch cuddle-time. Knowing Mookie was well cared for really helped us enjoy our family trip. In addition to her care and attention to Mookie, Devorat also offered accommodation and flexibility in the drop-off and pick-up scheduling to make things as easy as possible for us as we nailed down our travel plans at the last minute. I really appreciated her communication throughout the visit, and I could tell from her updates that she was really taking time to get to know our dog, and that he was in the best possible hands. We already plan to book with Devorat again soon!”
“Sarah was exceptional, and I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! From the moment we met, it was clear that she is experienced, professional, and genuinely cares. She was very responsive throughout Sia’s stay and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind.Rex was also such a sweet and welcoming companion, and Sia clearly enjoyed spending time there. I could tell right away that Sia was in great hands, and when I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Where do I even start. Honestly Ty is absolute amazing and great with my Toby. I was so nervous leaving him for over a week to go on vacation. But the amazing pictures that somehow look professionally taken that she would send me and the updates of how he was doing, made me feel he was in great hands. He always looked happy and content and that's all I can ask for. She was so sweet and I can tell from the first meet. She truly made Toby feel at home, even allowed him to sleep with her in bed. Toby also made to new BFF. He was so taken by her 2 kids and they were so sweet with him. Let just say Toby couldn't get enough of all the loving. When I picked him up he was still trying to play and give them kisses. Ty I can't thank you and your family enough. I'm grateful and I will definitely use your services again if available. I know Toby will be in good hands.”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“Karen made our dog feel right at home and has a perfect fenced in yard that is dedicated to the dogs. Her Lab made the perfect companion to keep our excited pup busy and entertained. Karen also sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with, definitely going to be returning next time we need a sitter!”
“Highly responsive (texts back within minutes) and very knowledgeable about dog breed specifics (ex. How to keep my brachiocephalic breed safe in warm weather). Brixton had a great time and we’d happily rebook with Anely!!”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“Matthew took such excellent care of my dog over the weekend, he was attentive and gentle and gave my dog his all the medications that he needed. His love for cavaliers is a plus and I felt at ease leaving my dog under his care. I would easily recommend him for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter.”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. She made him very comfortable. She was communicated throughout the whole stay. She was awesome in providing updates and pictures. I would definitely be using her service again!”
“Lisa is an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and I knew that my dog was in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to have her watch my dog again.”
“First time leaving Gus for a long time. Courtney kept me at ease with her great communication and sharing photos! Her dog Lucy and Gus hit it off right away. I’ve already rebooked for another upcoming trip! Recommend 100/10”
“Karen is exceptional! She took amazing care of our 13 year old Morkie cooking her salmon and ground beef when she was not eating the first few days. I highly recommend using Karen she is a kind caring considerate person.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Doris and the wonderful care she provided for our dog, Giorgie, while we were away for over a week. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by sharing frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really reassured us that Giorgie was happy and in good hands. Doris clearly loves and understands dogs, and we could tell she went above and beyond to make sure Giorgie felt at home. We returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“We had a wonderful stay with Keasha and her son, she kept us updated on how our pup was getting on and he seemed to settle in with them with ease. Would highly recommend!”
“Gilbert was absolutely amazing with Diesel! We got multiple videos daily of Diesel and Moon running around the yard, playing with each other. We got updates on how he did every day! Diesel was a very happy boy during his stay. We will definitely come back to Gilbert again when we need a sitter for Diesel. ☺️”
“Alyssa was the first time I ever hired a pet sitter 😊. I was super impressed!! Willow is a rescue we only had about a month, so we were concerned about having her get nervous and anxious in a new environment and away from us. Alyssa kept us updated on my Willow's stay - pictures and prose. We were so relieved to see Willow getting along so well with Alyssa. Willow came back content, and we were so happy to have found Alyssa!! Your pets will be so lucky to have Alyssa care for them; do not hesitate in the least. You will see for yourself what a loving and codependent care she gives them !”

“Michelle is wonderful with our cat! It's clear she's an animal lover and our slightly shy kitty is comfortable with her. She is great with communication and is punctual and responsible. It's a treat and reassuring seeing her photos and Rover cards every day. She even watered our garden for us while we were out of town! Highly recommended.”
“Bri went above and beyond caring for our cat while we were out of town. This was our first experience using Rover and she made it seemless - from our meet and greet to the Rover report cards, Bri was very professional and kind. I really enjoyed her sense of humor when our mischievous cat got into some groceries and made a bit of a mess. We will definitely use Bri 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.
“Emily was great with my two kitties, they have some special needs and she followed all instructions. She was very communicative and everything was in great shape when we got back!”
“Isabelle is a lifesaver. So glad to have met her, and I know Mishka is too. I’m new to the app, and we had booked another petsitter who had to cancel at the last minute. I was leaving for two weeks, so it was a little stressful to find someone who could properly care for my precious little kitty while I was gone. Isabelle sent me check-in cards with adorable photos of them cuddling every day. She made sure to feed Mishka treats, and even watered my plants. Definitely would love to work with Isabelle again. She knows exactly what cats and their humans need to feel safe ?”
“Heath was so incredibly sweet and professional, I felt like I could trust them right away. They even made sure to come by to do a quick meet and greet with Melvin. I was always informed about each visit with a little note and lots of photos. They even took the time to refill the treats in the Furbo when it ran out. I highly recommend Heath as a sitter and look forward to using them again. Thank you again!!!”
“Olivia took such great care of Phoebe while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and did everything she could to make Phoebe comfortable even though she isn’t always the best with strangers. Would highly recommend Olivia!”
About: I have had a dog in the house since I was young. Most recently helped train my family German Shepherd puppy from 10 weeks! I also have experience caring for my dog when she went through a major hip replacement surgery, which required much more intensive care over the course of a few months. Do not currently have any pets (my pup is back home), but have helped take care of both dogs and cats. I am staying in the Brown University area over the summer and will be conducting research as a Master's student. My schedule is very flexible as I mostly work on a laptop. However, there will be days I have to work around experiments, so feel free to inquire! I won't be able to host your pet (sadly), but I am more than willing to visit or walk as needed! I always starts with asking: 1. Any essential things about the pet I need to know (medication, allergies, etc.) 2. Any essential things about the house? (places to keep them out of, toys, beds, where they like to hang out) 3. Food, drink, and potty schedule + locations for each. 4. Anything else you want me to be aware of? (No shoes in the house, stay out of certain rooms, don't let mud get tracked around, etc.) 5. In case there's a mess, how should I clean up? (paper towels, pads, trash bags, etc.) I always want to respect both your house and your little friend so please give me as much detail as possible!
“Maryann has cared for our cats again and again, and every time she gives us peace of mind while we’re away! Her notes are thorough and read almost like short stories - such a joy to receive. She is attentive and goes the extra mile (like looking over every inch of each cat for injuries when she found tufts of fur around). Our cats clearly love her, too, running up to greet her when they’re usually iffy with people besides us. Book with Maryann!”
“Aidan was very kind and did a good job with my cat who can be on the shy side with new people! They were also very easy to communicate with and fairly quick to answer any messages. I do wish I had received a few more photos during the span of visits, but I also recognize it can be quite the task with crafty, hiding cats sometimes!”
“My old, reserved cat warmed up to Noah surprisingly fast-though I think this has something to do with his diligence at trying to get her to play with him!! Would book again”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“Words can’t express how wonderful Liana was while watching my cat, Finnian, while we were away! Each update (and pictures) she provided truly showed how comfortable, safe, and happy my cat was with her. Liana is so kind and easy to communicate with, paid so much attention to what my cat liked (treats, toys, pets, etc). I felt totally at ease while away knowing he was SO well taken care of. I would love to utilize Liana again the next time we go away—she is wonderful!”
“Mae went above and beyond for drop-in visits for our two cats while we were away. Her attention to detail and updates left us feeling reassured and confident that they were in good hands.”
“I recently had Kaitlyn take care of my cat, Tekkila, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Tekkila was clearly well looked after—happy and relaxed. Communication was great throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! Purr-fect! Pet approved 🐾”
“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!”
“A big thanks to Sam for all the extra care for my kitty. I recently moved and Thea is still adjusting. Sam quickly gained her trust and she spent most of her visit time giving pets. Sam also kept my cat's bowl super clean, Thea is a messy eater and it looked spotless every day. Above and beyond. Thea will definitely want Sam back again, and I agree.”
“Jules was wonderful! I felt really comfortable leaving Courgette with them and felt very at peace. Jules was also great at communicating, would certainly choose them again.”
“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!”

“Dorota and Wayne are the BEST hosts ever!! Ricky loves going to stay with them! They have a HUGE yard where Ricky loves to play. They have wonderful dogs of their own who Ricky loves to play with. They're usually hosting a bunch of other great dogs, so it's always a big doggie party at their place!! They treat Ricky like one of their own, he has the run of their yard, their house, and their bedroom...he feels right at home!! The best part is Dorota sends LOADS of pictures everyday so we can see first hand what a great time Ricky is having when he stays with them!!! They even Facetimed with us!! We highly recommend Dorota!!”
“Anely was lovely to work with. She was very careful and considerate with my timid pup, and helped her break out of her shell. I would absolutely recommend her services to others.”
“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!”
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.
“Baron had a great day with Isabel and her fiancée! Despite him being a slightly anxious pup at times, he seemed to be at ease, relaxed, and enjoying his time. Isabel was very responsive and took very good care of Baron. I will definitely be booking with Isabel again!”
“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!”
“eliza is the best! She is so attentive, caring and professional. She also sent back photos and I can tell my dog enjoyed every second with her! I had a last minute book for puppy day care and she replied very quickly. I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“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!”
“Gunther loved hanging out at Courtney’s house with his new friend Lucy! They are great hosts. He came back exhausted and happy- we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and friendly home-away-from-home for their canine companion.”
“Jack is an exceptional dog care sitter who truly goes above and beyond. His accommodating nature -- of me, the dog mom with a hectic unpredictable schedule -- and my puppy has been a lifesaver and breath of fresh air. It shows he has a genuine love for dogs and it shines through in every interaction as he's taken him for many jogs and made food for him when I forgot to bring. He is natural expert and skilled at making both pets and owners feel at ease. With Jack, you can trust that your pup will receive top-notch care and plenty of affection!”
“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 reliable pet sitter based in Providence, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up always being around dogs and cats—walking them, feeding them, and helping take care of their daily routines. Being with animals has always felt natural to me, not just something I do, but something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had different kinds of hands-on experiences that taught me a lot about animal care. I’ve cared for a cat that had a litter of kittens, helped raise and look after them, and learned what it takes to keep both mom and babies safe and comfortable. I’ve also been an animal foster caregiver, which gave me experience adjusting quickly to different personalities, routines, and needs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets—whether they’re shy, playful, older, or need a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to be patient, consistent, and to follow instructions closely so pets feel secure in their environment. My goal is always to show up calm, caring, and dependable, and to make sure every pet I look after feels safe and every owner feels at ease while they’re away. Caring for pets fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy building time into my schedule to walk, check on, and spend time with animals, and I’m flexible enough to adjust around each pet’s needs. I like being consistent, so pet care becomes a steady part of my week that I can commit to fully and responsibly. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions exactly as given so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable with feeding, water, litter or walks, and giving them attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also make sure to respect the home and leave everything clean and organized. If pets are in my care at my home, I make sure they are in a calm, safe environment where they can relax, stay on their usual schedule, and feel comfortable and secure.
“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”
“Lydia is the absolute best! From the second I met her, I knew that my sweet cavapoo, Sunny, was going to be loved on and well taken care of - and that was exactly the case! Lydia provided consistent communication and Sunny had the best time. So thankful I found someone so wonderful and reliable to watch my girl when needed❤️”
“Elba is a great dog sitter. I came to Rhode Island for the weekend and contacted Elba same day and she responded very fast. She took great care of my puppy. Elba went beyond her duty and send me pictures and kept me posted. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!”
“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!”

“Emily is amazing! This was our first time using Rover, so of course we were hoping we’d find someone who was a good fit and that we felt comfortable having in our home. She was so sweet and our two dogs were so happy to meet her - in fact, I think her calming demeanor put them at ease! She was thorough, prompt, and sent adorable photos so we knew the dogs were in good hands. It was great to not have to worry about how they were doing or if they were being taken good care of. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat and plan to for the next time we need some extra help! Thanks so much Emily!”
About: I am a responsible and organized college student and Division I athlete. I have always had three dogs of my own and regularly dog-sit for many people throughout the school year and summer. I am dependable, active, and will treat every pet like my own. I am currently working remotely for a company in Boston so I will be in Providence all day and can work my schedule around owners preferences. I have a fenced-in yard, access to open fields for dogs to run and play, and plenty of safe, walkable areas nearby. There are also dog parks close by, and I have a car for reliable transportation.
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.

“Maryanne is always a pleasure to work with. She's professional and always on top of communication. Our animals also adore her, which is the highest mark we can give her”
About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
“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!”
“Kenny took such good care of Barley. He even cleaned up when Barley got a little too excited and peed on the floor. We'd be glad to have Kenny back next time!”
About: Overview: I have always grown up with animals of all sorts, mainly small dogs, and now live with a cat and tortoise. I have experience with feeding, potty training, sleep training, trick training, caging, walking, bathing and grooming, cleaning up, playing, exercising, and loving each of my beloved pets. Each task is beyond worth it. If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to ask! My Fun Pet facts: - I have had a 14 year old Russian tortoise rescue, named crash, for 5 years now! It is named after the fact that he lives in a glass tank and sometimes forgets the glass is a wall. Also I set him free often to wander, and he's an adrenaline junky that loves to try to climb, drop, and crash into various objects and walls! - I raised salt water fish in my childhood home from lion fish to banana eels to pufferfish and idols and tangs! - My biggest dream is to have dog, cats, bunnies, ducks, and horses on my own homestead! pigs, goats, and any other animal would be fun too :) Experience (Personal, Pets, and Personality): Since moving to the city part time, my dogs and I have become very used to handling the hustle and bustle of the streets, especially Central Park. I volunteer at the Broome Animal Shelter to walk their dogs occasionally with friends. As a disabled person myself with pets who have had various issues throughout their and my life with some experience in basic healthcare, and lots of experience in first aid and crisis- any medical procedure needed to be done at home from syringes to needles to gauzes to bandaids, or even just hiding a pill in cheese- I am your guy! As a Filipino, I grew up with a very large family which includes having lots of animals around. But even in my own home, I grew up with a golden retriever, a havanese, and a poodle. Then two Havanese, and their cousin the Italian greyhound and.. another Havanese and... another poodle. I was the kid who memorized every dog breed, and wanted to visit the kennel and beg my parents for another dog. Our house was known as the place to house sit if a loved one was to go on vacation or anything. As an adult, I have lived with a cat each year that I could. Though these pets were pretty small in breed, it's actually my dream to get a dane or a similar sized and mannered big friendly giant. I spent a lot of my time at shelters, in nature camp, and at the nature center when I was a kid keeping all the animals safe. I have been that friend who pets immediately bond with when visiting someone's place for the first time. I was even such a frequent guest at the nature center, I even named one of the corn snakes "Bracelet" since she would hang around my wrist as I went to walk around the Greenberg Nature Center to greet, feed, clean, and care for the other reptiles. I have been an honorary member of the staff since I was 5 years old! I am a full time graduate student now working in Providence for 2 months. Since my work can be flexible and I'm located in the heart of the city, I can be available anytime! I have 5 repeat dog clients right now, and live with a cat and tortoise right now so I'm always surrounded by pets and happy to meet more. I will return to Binghamton August 2, and will be open again for house sitting then. When I am home in New York, I am available full weekends and holidays. I will be curious and courteous about whatever tailored needs your pet has so I can best respect and take care of your pet. For dogs- On walks, I don't just walk alongside a dog but I pay attention to their body, queues, and interests. During house visits, I'd love to keep them engaged by playing with them, keeping them active, and of course letting them rest. I am extremely well organized and I would ensure they get fed and taken out at requested times. For cats- I would make sure that they get what they need and want. From alone time to pets to cuddles to carrying. I would be on time with food, medicine, or any other duties. I would keep a good eye on your cat and ensure they get into minimal trouble, while also letting them roam and explore. For any other animals- I would just be honored to hangout with your pet, as an exotic pet owner myself. I would ensure I am well educated in the handling and care of your animal!

I like being consistent, so pet care becomes a steady part of my week that I can commit to fully and responsibly. In a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow all instructions exactly as given so pets stay on their normal routine. I focus on keeping them comfortable with feeding, water, litter or walks, and giving them attention so they feel safe while their owner is away. I also make sure to respect the home and leave everything clean and organized. If pets are in my care at my home, I make sure they are in a calm, safe environment where they can relax, stay on their usual schedule, and feel comfortable and secure.

About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. My first job was working as a cat sitter for my neighbor’s young cat, Monkey. I’ve stayed at neighbors houses to watch their dogs since high school, providing regular walks, enrichment, and love. I’ve worked with puppies as young as 10 weeks and dogs as old as 12 years. I’ve worked with pets with special needs and medication needs. Most importantly, I truly love animals. As my sister’s weenie dog puppy can attest, nothing makes me happier than having an animal curled up on my lap. Even if it means dealing with some scratches or disciplining, being around pets is always worth it! As a student, my schedule is super flexible. I’m happy to take care of pets whenever I can. I love early morning walks, so I’m available as early as 7:30 am. My house requires getting up a few flights of stairs, so large senior pups may struggle. Otherwise, any animals are welcome. I’m happy to stay at other folks’ homes as I know this often makes animals more comfortable. I’m flexible to whatever your house rules are!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was around 12, as well as grew up around dogs. I’ve mostly done drop-ins which I’ll stay anywhere from 10-60 minutes depending on needs. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats throughout that time and many different sizes, breeds, and ages. I am currently between jobs, as I have just moved to Providence from Texas. So I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets and would love to work with you on the perfect schedule. I'm only available for drop-ins and walks currently, which I have much experience in. Safety is of the utmost importance and I will work with you to keep you, your pets, and me feeling safe and happy.

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.

“Robert is wonderful—such a kind person. We left our dog with him for three days and could not have been happier. Every morning, he sent us a message about how Cookie was doing, along with a video. He took great care of her. Thank you so much, Robert! I trust him completely and will absolutely leave Cookie with him again whenever we need to travel.”
“Devorat is an absolute dream. She is truly the pet-parent that you want if you have to be away from your own pet. My dog Mookie stayed with Devorat for 5 days and nights on very short notice. She messaged frequently in the first 24 hours to keep us updated on how Mookie was settling in, and sent plenty of photos during the entire stay. We could tell from the photos that he was clearly comfortable in his home-away-from-home. He and Toby were great playmates in the fenced-in backyard, and he Devorat were fast friends, with plenty of couch cuddle-time. Knowing Mookie was well cared for really helped us enjoy our family trip. In addition to her care and attention to Mookie, Devorat also offered accommodation and flexibility in the drop-off and pick-up scheduling to make things as easy as possible for us as we nailed down our travel plans at the last minute. I really appreciated her communication throughout the visit, and I could tell from her updates that she was really taking time to get to know our dog, and that he was in the best possible hands. We already plan to book with Devorat again soon!”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“Karen made our dog feel right at home and has a perfect fenced in yard that is dedicated to the dogs. Her Lab made the perfect companion to keep our excited pup busy and entertained. Karen also sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with, definitely going to be returning next time we need a sitter!”
“Highly responsive (texts back within minutes) and very knowledgeable about dog breed specifics (ex. How to keep my brachiocephalic breed safe in warm weather). Brixton had a great time and we’d happily rebook with Anely!!”
“Sierra is great! She was so communicative while we were out of town. She made sure our pup was well taken care of and was gentle in letting him acclimate to her house and other dogs. We’re so happy to have found her!”
“Lisa is an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and I knew that my dog was in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to have her watch my dog again.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Doris and the wonderful care she provided for our dog, Giorgie, while we were away for over a week. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by sharing frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really reassured us that Giorgie was happy and in good hands. Doris clearly loves and understands dogs, and we could tell she went above and beyond to make sure Giorgie felt at home. We returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”
“Gilbert was absolutely amazing with Diesel! We got multiple videos daily of Diesel and Moon running around the yard, playing with each other. We got updates on how he did every day! Diesel was a very happy boy during his stay. We will definitely come back to Gilbert again when we need a sitter for Diesel. ☺️”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
“This was our first time boarding and we could not have picked a better couple to trust with our dog, Wesley! We got daily pictures/updates of him having a great time playing with the other pups, and snuggling in bed. We will 100% be using Chris & Whitney for any future trips!!”
“Rebecca was a great sitter for our two dogs and cat. Usually they are anxious with new people but from the start, both our dogs were happy to be with her and warmed up to her immediately. Our cat even came out of hiding with her. Rebecca was super responsive, sent photos so we knew all animals were well, and we 100% recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Qulynda was great! She took such great care of our dog while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend using Qulynda if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry one!”
“Elba takes great care of my dog. I feel comfortable leaving her there while I’m at work and/or overnight. Would recommend her to anyone needing help with their dog!”
“Rafael was incredible with our 14 year old beagle. We are very particular on who we leave our dog with and we felt great about leaving her with Rafael. His home is clean and safe. Such a nice and caring guy. He made the cutest report card for our dog. Sammy will definitely be visiting again when we go away.”
“Jay and Faith made Sweet Pea’s first hang out so smooth! I’m an anxious human but they made me feel at ease, and I can tell Pea felt very comfortable as well as she spent her time lounging around and relaxing. Definitely a trusted pair dogs, including the special ones that require a little more structure. A++”
“Perfect! Thank you so much for taking care of Hartwell. I loved seeing pics and videos of him while I was away and never had to worry because he always looked happy! Will be leaving him with you again. 10/10”
