“Henry loved his stay with Keisha! She was all and more than I could of expected I am absolutely pleased with Keasha and highly recommend her We will surely call on her again ??”
“Anely is such a great dogsitter!! She has consistently been available to watch our dog, Ollie, for both brief overnight stays and week-long trips. She is very responsive and has always made time for us, even on short notice. She clearly loves having dogs around and takes such good care of them. Ollie is always a bit anxious when we leave him, but with Anely, he immediately calms down and knows he is safe. He always has a great time staying with her, and it is so reassuring to know your pet is comfortable when you're away! Anely sends photos and updates every day, and is just generally so easy and awesome to work with. We appreciate her very much!”
“Matthew once again took very excellent care of Bailey while I was away for the weekend. He was good with giving medications and sent me frequent updates and pictures. Most importantly, he loves having Bailey over and Bailey loves spending time there! I wouldn’t leave him with anyone else.”
“Elba has been nothing but incredible. She has been great at communicating and making sure I know how my dogs are doing. One of my dogs requires a lot of patience after suffering from a traumatic brain injury, Elba has gone above and beyond to meet my dog where she’s at. I’m very grateful and content with the services Elba has provided.”
“Karen is an absolute angel! I am a first time pet owner and this was my first time sending my dog to a sitter. She made the whole process so smooth. From the meet and greet to the day of drop off, she kept in touch and was very responsive. I received updates with pictures and video while I was away on vacation and my shy dog adjusted very well in her environment. In addition, she is very knowledgeable and provided lots of helpful tips in caring for my dog at home!! I will definitely be booking Karen again with no hesitation!”
“Carolina is simply amazing. She is so accommodating and trustworthy. I had at least two updates, pictures, and videos of my little guy. Her family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I will be using her again on our next vacation.”
“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!”
“We are a repeat customer with Robert. Daily updates with pics and videos. Great communication and very flexable with pic ups and drop offs. He socialized our pet in walks and visits, which we love.”
“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 !”
“Zachary was great! He sent me photos every day showing what a great time Maggie was having. I will absolutely have him take care of my Maggie again in the future.”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic, communicative, flexible, and went above and beyond in her care and enrichment activities--she's clearly an expert in cat needs, body language, and how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We'll be booking her services again in the future without a moment's hesitation.”
“Connie was great with Eli and also very communicative with me, sending updates and photos of my big boy throughout the time that she was watching him. She also took the time to take him for a little walk as it was a beautiful day and overall, Eli seemed very content with spending his day with Connie and we’re looking forward to the next time!”
“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!”
“Had issues with one of my dog’s behavior but Lisa handled the situation perfectly and my parents took him. She was great with my other dog, lot of walks, homemade treats, and she even washed his blankets! Highly recommended!”
“Jessica was AMAZING with Rondo! She is super flexible with scheduling, pick up and drop off which we are so thankful for. It was our first time in a long time boarding our pup, but Jessica put us at ease when we met her and Abu at the meet and greet. They are both so sweet!! She provided us with updates and photos consistently and overall was an A+. Highly recommended her for all your boarding and pet sitting needs!!”
“Leaving our dog Winnie with Cierra was one of the easiest Rover experiences we have had! Winnie seemed right at home from our first meeting! Loved getting pictures of our dog while away travelling! Easy recommendation.”
“Boa was a wonderful sitter who watched over my baby Sunny like he was her own. Boa has a lovely home and is very kind and attentive. Her response time was also fast and communication clear. I highly recommend Boa to be the home away from home for your furry loved ones.”

“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”
“Maya did an excellent job taking care of my cat, communicated extremely well, and sent lots of cute photos. Very trustworthy and kind. I think I've found a go-to sitter! Thanks again.”
About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)
About: I first got cats when I was 12. I currently have 3; Pepper, Ash, and Nimbus. This has given me hands-on experience with daily feeding, fresh water, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in their environment, so I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable experience. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet independence, I will respect their personality and provide the attention they need. Experience Includes: Caring for multiple cats at once Feeding and fresh water Litter box cleaning and maintenance Playtime and enrichment Monitoring behavior and well-being Following specific care instructions and routines Providing updates to pet owners
“Would definitely recommend Jayla! They were responsive and helpful in setting up a meet and greet, and were thorough in all of the questions they asked and what they needed for a good stay. They kept great communication, and gave us regular updates and photos to assure us our cat was doing well while we were out of town. In addition, I noticed that when we came home they had gone above and beyond and emptied the litter trash can, stripped the sheets, etc. which I thought was above and beyond. We would absolutely book Jayla for another stay and recommend them to anyone else looking for a sitter locally!”
“Luke was awesome with our cat. He sent us photos and an update showing that his care was thorough and thoughtful. He figured out exactly how our kitty loves to play and we felt totally reassured that she was had good play and social time while we were away. Totally recommend Luke.”
“This is the second time we’ve had Kathy take care of our kitties and we will definitely have her again! She is caring, thorough, communicative and always sends detailed check-ins with a bunch of photos! We came back to happy cats and everything as we left it!”
“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 🐾”
About: Growing up with cats has taught me that they are soulful companions who thrive on a balance of respect and affection. I understand that every cat is a unique individual, and I pride myself on navigating their specific quirks with patience and a calm, empathetic energy. My Feline Experience A Lifetime of Care: I’ve lived with cats since I was a child and currently share my home with a very affectionate, snuggly cat named Blue. I’m well-versed in the needs of cats who crave constant attention and reassurance. Respecting Boundaries: I know how to read body language and give cats their space when they need it. Whether your cat is a "velcro" snuggler or a shy observer, I adapt my energy to make them feel safe and heard. Routine & Reliability: I understand the importance of keeping schedules consistent. From precise feeding times to maintaining a pristine litter box, I ensure your cat’s environment remains stable and stress-free. Play & Companionship: Whether it’s an interactive play session to burn off energy or a quiet afternoon of lap-time, I prioritize making your pet feel incredibly special while you’re away. I’ve become the trusted "on-call" sitter for my entire network because they know I truly bond with their pets. I look forward to providing your feline friends with the high-quality care and genuine love they deserve.
“Sam did a beautiful job taking care of my cat Gracie! She was friendly, communicative, and conscientious - and very flexible about administering medication short notice. I came home to a clean house and a happy cat. Would happily work with Sam again!”
“Latifa was a wonderful sitter with a cozy home. She helped me keep Sunny peaceful during a move and travel commitments. She was flexible when I needed to extend. I highly recommend Latifa for any of your pet's need for a home away from home.”

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.
“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!!”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own dogs daily, so I’m used to feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping things clean and safe. I pay attention to each pet’s routine and make sure they stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I have open availability because I work from home during the week. My partner is also home, so your pet won’t be left alone and will always have attention and care. I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of space for them to run and play. I also have two friendly dogs who love to play, so your pet will have company and a safe, comfortable space while they’re here.
“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!”
“Keasha was great! She watched my 4 month old puppy for the day and he had a great time. He is a little shy and she really helped him gain more confidence. He came home exhausted after a fun day of walks, playing outside, and cuddles.”
About: Hello my name is Mary-Ann, I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in yard in Cherry Hill Estates in Johnston, RI. I don't leave dogs outside unattended. I’ve been blessed to have dogs for my whole life. I would love to open our home and couch to your fur baby in need of a safe, loving and caring environment. I currently have a fur baby named Buddy who is a Senior Bichon Shih Tzu mix who absolutely loves other dogs. He is very friendly and up to date on all his shots. My husband works from home full-time and I work from home 3 days a week. So, your fur baby won’t be alone. I know Buddy doesn’t like to be alone. I live in a quiet walkable neighborhood which allows us to take leisurely walks and a big fully fenced in back yard. I also have a dog door that leads out into a fully enclosed Dog Pen to access anytime for the potty. Pets are part of our families, and I know it’s important to make them feel comfortable and keep them safe at all times which will give you peace of mind while you are away.

About: I truly treat pets like family, maybe even more. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve personally trained and cared for them throughout the years. I currently have two cats as well, so I’m very comfortable managing different types of pets and personalities. I volunteer in a shelter twice a month to help with walks and play time. I walk my dog once or twice a day and maintain a consistent routine, which helps pets feel safe, active, and happy. I also have experience around farm animals, since my mom has a farm in Brazil, where I’ve spent time helping care for a variety of animals. This has given me a broader understanding of animal behavior and needs. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and genuine love for animals. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day, including weekends. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following your instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, medications, or special care for puppies or senior pets. Communication is very important to me. I’ll make sure to keep you updated and ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. Your pet will be welcomed into a calm, caring environment, just like part of the family. I work from home, so I’m usually around and available throughout the day. I walk my dog in the morning, around lunchtime, and again in the evening, which helps keep a consistent routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision. If I step away, it’s usually just for a short call or meeting, so your pet will never be left alone for long. I’ll care for your pet just like I do my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m also always available to answer any questions and keep you updated during the day. Pets in my home are treated like family and are free to move around and feel comfortable. I live in a two-level raised ranch with plenty of space, and my pets are friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog and cats get along well, so visiting pets can feel relaxed and part of the environment. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy some outdoor time. That said, I always follow each owner’s preferences, if your dog needs to be crated, kept on a specific routine, or has any special instructions, I’m happy to accommodate. My neighborhood is quiet and safe, with many dog owners nearby, which makes it a great environment for walks and daily activity. And I also work as a volunteer in a shelter and I’m very used to different types of dogs. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure your pet feels secure and at home.
About: Hello there! I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets. I’ve had pets around me all of my life. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and keeping pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Since I attend school virtually, I am home all day and pet care is my primary focus! Your pets will have constant company and plenty of attention. I am fully available for boarding both weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to help with walks, feeding, and playtime anytime after 8/9 AM. Safety is my top priority. I am always here to supervise play and potty breaks in our fully fenced yard. I have a friendly Goldendoodle who loves making new friends! I closely follow your specific care instructions, including feeding schedules and crate routines. You'll receive regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe and having fun!
“Valerie was a very caring and attentive to my Simba's needs. My family has taken him to her 3 times and she sends me photos of him throughout the day. She takes him on his walks and makes sure that he is comfortable and clean throughout the day. He is a very active puppy but Valerie is able to keep him disciplined. Would definitely recommend bringing your dog and leaving them in Valerie's care!”
“Michelle was very attentive with my dog, Zury, who can be timid in new places. She made sure she went on plenty of walks and sent me great updates throughout the day!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, so taking care of your pets feels pretty natural to me. Whether it's walks with dogs or playtime with cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them — and I'll make sure to follow whatever routines and instructions you've set up. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and can give your pets plenty of attention without it feeling like a juggling act. Expect regular photo updates, because I know how much it helps to see your furry friend doing well while you're away. Basically — your pet will be in good hands, and you can actually relax knowing that. Working from home and setting my own schedule means your pet isn't an afterthought squeezed between meetings — they're just part of the day, naturally. I love active, social dogs who are up for a good walk or some backyard play — that's my sweet spot. Cats are a different kind of company, and honestly I'm here for it, especially the playful ones who actually want to interact but also those that play hard to get too.
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.
About: I LOVE animals! I recently lost my 13 year old soul dog who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. I have experience with senior and hospice dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your “kids” with someone new, but I promise to keep them safe, happy and loved. I currently do work but have flexible hours and am able to work from home if needed. I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to a sweet senior terrier I adopted six years ago. Caring for him through his golden years—with all the quirks and health needs that come with age—has given me deep experience and compassion for senior dogs. I understand the extra attention, patience, and love they deserve, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit. My partner and I work from home and share the responsibility of caring for each pup. Whether it’s medication time, a midday cuddle, or just keeping a watchful eye, your pet will never feel alone or overlooked. We’re a team when it comes to creating a calm, loving environment for animals. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, we’re here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I currently work from home on Monday and Friday! My boyfriend who lives with me works from home everyday so we always have someone at home! I do not mind coming to the clients home to take care of your pet! I have a dog of my own as well. I live in a condo that has a backyard.
“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!”

“Caprice was very responsive and handled the pups very well. The pups took a shine to her right away and she was very thorough with the instructions that I gave her! Definitely going to have her walk the pups again!”
About: Hi my name is Neriah and I'm a second year college student at CCRI. I've had dogs every since I was 6. I currently have one dog named Apollo. I also have 3 cats.

I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make it a priority to follow owners' instructions carefully. I am dependable, patient, and committed to providing pets with the attention, care, and affection they deserve.

I always follow the care instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special requirements. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and appropriate exercise and playtime. I also keep doors and gates secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I love pets. In my experience, pets our part of family and I will treat them as such. I have care for pets for over 30 years and am able to handle 5-8 dogs. I do pet care full-time. I am always home watching the dogs and cats, making sure they are safe. Pets will never be home alone and we follow strict food or medicine schedules if necessary. Pets are always being watched. They will never be left home alone when boarding. We have a fully gated yard that is impossible for dogs to escape.
“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”
“Jayla was fantastic with Rusty and went above and beyond, from accepting a last minute booking when our usual sitter fell through to taking extra precautions when someone noticed where we told her to hide the key! Will absolutely be requesting to book again!”
“Eden has been walking my Finn now for two weeks (as I’m recovering from surgery). She has been wonderful - reliable, upbeat, and obviously great with dogs. I highly recommend Eden and look forward to being a “repeat customer”. Thank you Eden!”
“Maya was an absolute rockstar today with our new doggy Scout. She provided lots of cute pictures and details about how Scout did. She was really responsive from the very beginning about instructions and directions - she even helped reunite a lost neighborhood doggy with their owner! I could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover and especially with Maya!”

About: I love snuggling and playing with dogs of all sizes! I used to be a dog groomer before I moved to Rhode Island in 2023. My family relied on me to watch their pups whenever they went away, which led to me watching their friends pups! I would usually trim or file the nails, as well as trim the paw pad hairs, if they wanted me to do that! I’m currently a full time Pre-K teacher in East Greenwich, which also goes through the summer! I would be able to do midday, evening, and nighttime walks if you just need a drop-in walk or all of that and an early morning walk for housesitting! I love having as much information as possible for pet(s) I watch, so I can help make them as comfortable as possible with a new person the first time, and to not throw them off of a schedule that they’re used to! I also love to take pictures of pets to send to you if you want them!

Since I attend school virtually, I am home all day and pet care is my primary focus! Your pets will have constant company and plenty of attention. I am fully available for boarding both weekdays and weekends, and I'm happy to help with walks, feeding, and playtime anytime after 8/9 AM. Safety is my top priority. I am always here to supervise play and potty breaks in our fully fenced yard. I have a friendly Goldendoodle who loves making new friends! I closely follow your specific care instructions, including feeding schedules and crate routines. You'll receive regular photo updates so you know your pet is safe and having fun!
“Heath was great with Jasper! Jasper warmed up very quickly and clearly enjoyed his walk. I received lots of pictures and a detailed description of the walk. We will definitely use Heath in the future!”
About: Raised in a household where every animal was treated like family, I offer patient and attentive care for a wide range of companions. From high-energy dogs and affectionate cats to smaller specialized pets, I pride myself on understanding their unique instincts and personalities. Experienced Care for All Companions Dogs & Cats: I am comfortable with all temperaments—from senior dogs and shy rescues to "velcro" cats like my own who crave constant affection. Small & Unique Pets: My experience extends to birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I understand that smaller animals require a gentle touch and strict adherence to their specific feeding and habitat routines. Intuitive & Patient: I prioritize reading body language and providing space or snuggles as needed. My goal is to maintain a calm, empathetic environment where every pet feels safe and heard. Trusted Professional: As the go-to "on-call" sitter for my friends and family, I am known for maintaining consistent schedules and providing genuine companionship while owners are away. Whether your pet needs a vigorous walk, a pristine habitat, or a quiet afternoon of company, I am dedicated to keeping their routine on track and making them feel special. I work from home in Providence, which allows me to offer a high level of flexibility and reliability for your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily integrate midday walks, feedings, or play sessions into my workday without rush. Daily Flexibility: Available for walks and check-ins anytime during the workday, as well as evenings and weekends. Regular or "On-Call" Care: Whether you need a consistent weekly sitter to keep a routine or a one-off "pinch hitter" when you're headed out of town, I can accommodate your schedule. Attentive Supervision: Working from home means I am a constant presence; if I am sitting in your home, your pet will rarely be alone and will receive the frequent attention they deserve. Prompt Communication: I pride myself on being reachable and providing quick updates so you never have to wonder how your companion is doing. I am happy to work around your pet's specific timing for meals and exercise to ensure their day feels as normal as possible while you're away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining a secure, clean, and private environment. I understand that you aren't just trusting me with your animals, but with your personal space as well. Respect for Your Home: I treat your property with the utmost care. I am naturally tidy and will ensure that food bowls, litter areas, and play spaces remain clean and organized. I leave your home exactly as I found it—if not better. Safety & Security: I am diligent about home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked, alarms are set, and your pet is safely settled before I leave. I am also mindful of household hazards, ensuring that "counter-surfers" or curious chewers stay out of trouble. Privacy & Professionalism: Your privacy is a top priority. I am there strictly to care for your pets and will never overstep boundaries or access areas of your home that aren't necessary for their care. Consistent Communication: I am highly reachable and believe in proactive updates. You’ll receive check-ins and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and your home is in good hands. I focus exclusively on in-home visits and walks, ensuring your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment while you have the confidence that your home is being treated with professional respect.
“Stephanie always takes really good care of our dog, Zoe. At the end of every walk Zoe is completely tired out (which is great since she has enough energy to power up a small village), and Zoe has become really attached to Stephanie since they have started their walks together. I certainly recommend her to anyone!”

“Anely is such a great dogsitter!! She has consistently been available to watch our dog, Ollie, for both brief overnight stays and week-long trips. She is very responsive and has always made time for us, even on short notice. She clearly loves having dogs around and takes such good care of them. Ollie is always a bit anxious when we leave him, but with Anely, he immediately calms down and knows he is safe. He always has a great time staying with her, and it is so reassuring to know your pet is comfortable when you're away! Anely sends photos and updates every day, and is just generally so easy and awesome to work with. We appreciate her very much!”
“Elba has been nothing but incredible. She has been great at communicating and making sure I know how my dogs are doing. One of my dogs requires a lot of patience after suffering from a traumatic brain injury, Elba has gone above and beyond to meet my dog where she’s at. I’m very grateful and content with the services Elba has provided.”
“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!”
“We are a repeat customer with Robert. Daily updates with pics and videos. Great communication and very flexable with pic ups and drop offs. He socialized our pet in walks and visits, which we love.”
“Zachary was great! He sent me photos every day showing what a great time Maggie was having. I will absolutely have him take care of my Maggie again in the future.”
“Connie was great with Eli and also very communicative with me, sending updates and photos of my big boy throughout the time that she was watching him. She also took the time to take him for a little walk as it was a beautiful day and overall, Eli seemed very content with spending his day with Connie and we’re looking forward to the next time!”
“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!”
“Had issues with one of my dog’s behavior but Lisa handled the situation perfectly and my parents took him. She was great with my other dog, lot of walks, homemade treats, and she even washed his blankets! Highly recommended!”
