“As always, Christa did a great job caring for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. We have been working with Christa over the past 2 years and there is no one else we would trust to do such an awesome job. Plus, we get tons of pictures! Can't recommend Christa enough.”
“Nicole was so good to our cats while we were away! She sent adorable photos of them and went above and beyond to make sure their litter boxes were clean and tidy”
About: I am well researched and every attentive to body language matching the needs of every animal I interact with. I have experience with automatic litter boxes and manual litter boxes, I am good at administering medications to animals and am pretty good at clipping nails.
“Bri was excellent. We’ve never hired a house sitter before, but our senior cat wasn’t able to leave the house. Bri was extremely communicative and I felt extremely comfortable with her there. Our cat was very lucky to have Bri watch her for three days :)”
“Fiona is THE BEST cat sitter I have ever booked. She is so friendly and has a great attitude, loving and caring to my cat and is the most professional. My kitty is shy and she warmed right up to Fiona and they became best buds right away! I am confident I will never have to worry or dread trips way from home now that we have Fiona to watch over my cat Nori. She sent so many updates/photos and videos. I can’t recommend her enough!! Book her now, she’s a catch!”
“Maya is fantastic! She spent time and care to get the know our cats and what they liked. She sent detailed notes each day and lots of pictures - we felt so happy that our cats were being looked after by someone who clearly likes cats as much as Maya! We highly recommend her as your cat sitter :-)”
“Chawney was a wonderful catsitter! She always checked in and left photos, giving us peace of mind while traveling that Odetta was in caring hands (and she even watered our plants for us). We hope to work with Chawney again any time we travel!”
“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!”
“Maryann did a great job taking care of our animals on short notice when our regular pet sitter couldn’t, over a holiday weekend too. She took great care of the creature and sent us plenty of pictures to keep our minds at ease. I would absolutely have her pet sit again.”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
“Eden sent pictures every day, and was very attentive! She noticed some lumps on our cat's side (which we knew about) right away and called to inform us. We would definitely use her again!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Washington Park
“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!”
“Briana was awesome. Adora’s first time for doggy daycare and through all of the photos that were sent it seemed like she had an amazing time and that’s all we can ask for! Will be booking again!”
“Buddy had a blast. I enjoyed pictures from Dorota all day while I was gone. He came home healthy and happy. Definitely will be back for more play time!”
“I’m very grateful to Hanna & Roy.✨ Besides being such lovely people, I truly appreciate them for taking care of my puppy🐶 From the very first moment, they showed so much love and dedication. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Haru’s well-being: they gave him affection, were attentive to him at all times, and played with him a lot. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Very is amazing! Bodhi loved his two days with her while mom & dad did NPT Folk Fest! They went on walks, to the park, and even got some good cuddles in. Thank you so so much!!”
“Without a doubt 5 stars! ✨ We were in the area for the weekend and one of the days we had an activity that our dog was not able to come with. Our dog can be strong willed and will take advantage of his size if he thinks he can get away with it. I initially chose Rich/aka Kemba on Rover because his profile pic was with an Akita! Regardless of that, Kemba was the perfect match for Rocky! He sent us some photos of their adventures out and about, and a sweet video walking (with a loose leash, no one was being pulled like a kite!) with a friend's dog. Our drop off and pickup was super smooth. Kemba made a suggestion for our meeting location that made it easy and he delivered Rocky to us at our Airbnb at the end of the afternoon. I felt complete confidence in Kemba's judgement and care with our boy.”
About: Please be advised I am no longer accepting Pet Drop In or Walking visits M-F. But please message me anyway. About me: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty with just me and my elderly mother. I still love to have my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet in my home or your home. I also work from home M-F, so your pet will have me with them for a majority of the time I’m caring for them. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home or in your home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
“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!”
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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job of entertaining my pup for the day while we couldn’t! She made sure he got fed properly, had plenty of time to play outside/walk with her dogs, and gave all the affection he needed. She even taught him how to do paw! We will definitely be reaching out again if we need help. Highly recommend!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Washington Park
“Having Rania be apart of our dog care team has been amazing! We hired Rania after I suffered a serious injury that required surgery and months of recovery. I was hesitant at first to hire someone to walk our boy as he can be difficult and picky, but my Riley took a liking to Rania right away and she has been key every since. She is super responsible and always communicates in a timely fashion if she is running late. I highly recommend Rania if you are in need for a caring, responsible walker.”
“Christa is AWESOME. Would highly recommend working with her! She’s very professional, quick to respond, and excellent about communicating when it comes to your pets. She even worked well with my large dog who can occasionally be leash reactive. We had to move for work and with she could come with!”
“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!”
“Fiona and Baxter hit it off right away, and Fiona was great at understanding and working with Baxter's behavioral issues. We're looking forward to having Fiona walk Baxter some more!”

“What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.”
“Natasha has been nothing but lovely since she met Louie. She insisted on coming to meet him and learn more about him before our first walk, and took really great care of him while on the walks because of that. I would highly recommend Natasha - even for last minute walks! She always makes it work and communicates so well!”
“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.:).”
About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my house, Growing up with large dogs; I'm comfortable with them and capable of handling them, though I love the little guys too! As your dog's caretaker, I'll be sure to get your best friend the exercise and care that they need and deserve, and am excited and willing to go the extra mile if it means I get to spend a little extra time with them. I offer low rates, but that doesn't mean that, I look forward to meeting, playing with, walking, and otherwise looking after your four-legged friend soon, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. I am a stay at home dad with my 5 children, whom also love dogs. They as well have been blessed to be raised with big and small dogs. I offer all type of services, overnight, walks, check-ins. I am available all day. I have a large fenced in yard where they can run, play and burn out energy. I have a open availability and home with my pups at all time. I do not like to cage my pup so they mainly free roam the home and I set them up a place to sleep. I follow all instructions left for me if care is to be done in my pups home. When pups are in my home for the most part they free roam my home and I like to take them out for walks and runs.
“Chantelle is wonderful with Bodhi. She's very attentive and playful, shows up on time, and even took a last minute appointment. We will continue with her services, as we feel comfortable with the way she nurtures our puppy!:)”
About: I have over 15 years of experience in pet care with dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I currently have a dog and cats of my own to help keep your pet company during their stay (for this reason, pets looking to stay with me must be non-aggressive towards cats and other dogs). I offer drop-ins, walks, and boarding services. During their stay, your pup will get daily exercise and activity (depending on their individual needs) through walks, off-leash play in a secure yard, and mentally stimulating games/puzzles. I can take your pet out for the bathroom as often as every three hours, which can be an ideal situation for senior pups or those with medical conditions! If your pet must be left alone during any period of time (such as during feedings), it will be done so in an appropriately-sized crate, and so it is ideal for your pet to be crate-trained. When they aren't playing, your pet will likely be hanging out indoors with me, either lounging around or people-watching out the windows or in a sun-patch on the porch while getting lots and lots of pets. For cats, I offer a deluxe kitty room with a play tunnel, cat tree, high shelves for jumping/climbing, many soft blankets, a variety of toys, a running fountain water bowl, and an abundance of dark hiding places to help them feel comfortable. I am available all day to ensure your pet's needs are met. Dogs can be let out as often as every three hours and cats can be checked on and played with as often as their individual personalities require. I have a fenced-in yard for your pup to play in, as well as cats and a dog of my own to keep them company. Indoors they have plenty of space as well to play, people-watch out the window, and snooze.
“Rich was incredible. Definitely helped me in a pinch with my dog Goomba! He was very responsive and loved all the pictures of my pup with him on their walk. Would certainly use him again in the future and highly recommend. For all kinds of dogs, sometimes can be tough finding your pet as much as you do but Rich certainly has a big affinity for dogs which makes you rest easy while he’s with your pup.”
“I love that JetaBea now looks forward to Hannah’s. Arrival on each walk day. I am so grateful for her kindness with this older clunky dog. I love to see her head come up when I mention her name. She does that only when you mention someone she really likes!”
About: I grew up with many dogs and cats, and am the go-to petsitter for my friends and family while they are away. I have experiencing petsitting homes with multiple pets with different routines/schedules (and four litter boxes!), as well as administering medication and caring for and walking elderly pets. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and week and am more than happy to workaround your pet care needs! I take your pet’s wellbeing, safety, and comfort very seriously and will care for them as if they were my own. I aim to provide your pet with a sense of routine and familiarity, as well as stimulation and play, while his or her parent is away. I do this by sticking as closely as possible to the rules/guidelines set by you and being attentive to each pet’s unique needs.
About: I love animals of all kinds and have 6 years of experience walking and dog sitting. I also own a cat and feel comfortable with more shy cats that need a little love to come out of their shells. Can provide references upon request. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and would love to set up a regular times for walking and visits. Available both weekdays and weekends. I have a dog friendly neighborhood away from heavy traffic. Starting May 2025 I will be living right near Roger Williams Park and would be happy to take your pet on a walk there as well.

“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Two friends of mine had recommended Briana’s services and I’m so glad they did! We have a one and a half year old lab mix and were boarding her for the first time. Naturally, we were nervous about this and didn’t want to leave her just anywhere. We wanted to ensure that Sage was going to be in a safe, loving, and fun environment. After our experience, I can confidently say that Briana delivered just that! Briana has a turf yard for the dogs to run around in and space for them inside if the weather isn’t permitting. It’s safe to say that our dog had a blast making new friends all week long! Briana is very knowledgeable about dogs and sent daily photographs/updates of Sage, which really helped us adjust with being away from her. When we picked Sage up she was happy, healthy, and tired (the good kind!) from playing all week long. We felt very comfortable leaving Sage in Briana’s care and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would definitely book her again!”
“Karen is very sweet and caring. She loves pups and treats them as their own. Our dog stayed with her while we were on vacation for a week and we were not worried at all. Her dog is gentile and very playful which our dog loved. They played together a lot and it was sad to take her away from him when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Cherylee and Steven are really amazing! They took great care of my pet, Benben. Every day, they sent me pictures of Benben, so I knew he was happy and safe. Benben felt very comfortable with them, like he was at home. I am very thankful for their help. I will book with them again next time for sure!”
“Anita is fantastic. She's easy to communicate with, warm with my dogs, and understanding of my 13-month-old's more energetic tendencies. I think it's abundantly clear that she loves animals, and I felt very secure in leaving my dogs with her.”
“I am very happy to have met Doris and very pleased with the care OREO received at her home. She is very nice and she genuinely cares for her four legged friends. I am sure Oreo enjoyed her company! He seemed happy and calm.☺️”
“Elba is always so good with Riot, I trust he’s in good hands any time he’s at her home. She also sends plenty of videos, pictures, and updates and treats Riot as if he was her own family member.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Paige is friendly, professional and her lovely home is set up perfectly for pet sitting. She sent me daily updates including pictures of her kids loving up my precious pup. And while he didn't leave the house for walks, she has an adequate fenced in yard and he was able to come in and out of the house freely. I felt completely at ease knowing that he was well taken care of since she has 4 children who were all respectful and great kids!”
“Natalia was great with our boxer. She had so much fun playing with her Corgi and came home happy and tired (always a good sign!). Natalia sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear our girl was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book again.”
“I was so happy with Julia taking care of Riley. I knew he was in good hands, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about him. She kept me informed, great pictures and she was kind, patient with him, and really cared about him. We will use her again. Thank you!!”
