Dog Walking Valley

“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!”

“Despite Skye's timidness, Caprice was exceptionally patient and eventually had a successful walk. I appreciated her willingness to wait for Skye to become comfortable.”

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.

“Maryann was amazing with Cooper. She was very attentive to his and our needs, and was excited to walk with him each day. It was great to get the feedback from each walk including pictures of Cooper being so happy on his walks!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and for the past several years I’ve specialized in seniors and small, medium breeds, including my own 11-year-old Yorkie with heart and airway conditions. I’m confident with medications, gentle routines, and multi-day stays, and I currently sit regularly for repeat clients in Providence. I run my own practice from home, so my schedule is flexible and pets are rarely alone. My days are built around routine, morning walks, midday breaks, and calm evenings. Guest dogs join my daily rhythm naturally, with consistent feeding times, multiple walks, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day In my home, I host one guest at a time in a calm, quiet space with supervised indoor time and secure, leashed walks. In your home, I follow your routines, feeding times, medications, and house rules. I always start with a meet and greet, keep dogs leashed or secured at all times, and send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.

About: Does your special family member need extra attention? Do they need a little bit extra help during the day? Perhaps other animals make your little one a bit nervous? Then we have just the vacay spot! We have no resident animals of our own and both of us stay at/work from home. If your furry pal needs 24/7 attention and love we're more than able to do so! Our apartment allows for a smaller and/or older dog to walk and run around safely without much to accidentally run into. For pups that need a bit to run around we're located near a wonderful dog park. If your pup is not interested in running and playing with other dogs there are plenty of sidewalks to run and explore as well as a large open field nearby. (The dog in the picture(s) is not a resident dog.) Currently I do not work outside of the home. While caring for an animal I'll also be here learning various subjects on the computer. Daily walks will be given for each day of their stay. The two doors to our apartment are always closed and the doors in the stairwells are also always closed and locked after everyone in the building enters and leaves. While clients are always welcomed to bring a crate if it helps the dog feel more at home, the crate will always be left open so the dog can come and go as they please. Dogs are kept off of our bed due to it's height and how it may be tough for older or smaller dogs to get down safely. If a dog does like being nearby during the night, however, I'm happy to place their bed right next to my side so they can see I'm right there for them.

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!

“Maya is the best! She is heaven sent for me and my little pup…I work crazy clinical hours at the hospital and have to make changes last minute and Maya is so caring and considerate taking the time to take care of my dog when needed - even last minute! I feel lucky to have her help 😁”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from about 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, family; I’ve been trusted to care for their furry family members for a while. Having my own dog and being surrounded by many furry friends, I have much experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule that varies throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate owners’ needs whenever possible. I prioritize communication and reliability, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I will follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

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.

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.

About: I previously worked for Wag! Dog Walking and Sitting, and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have performed many dog walks and cared for dogs in my home as well as in the owners' home. I love giving them lots of love and attention. I have taken care of a variety of animals, from small dog breeds, large dog breeds, lizards, bunnies, and cats. I am organized, prompt, and professional. I have my own transportation, and am very reliable. I grew up with two Scottish Terriers and a Bearded Dragon, and have loved animals all of my life. I’m currently a part time substitute teacher, so I am available on weekends and some days during the week. I am also available most evenings! I have my own transportation, and I am prompt and reliable. Keeping your pet safe and happy is my number one goal! I look forward to helping care for your pets.

About: I have been a life-long animal lover. I met a newborn calf on a farm when I was about 8 years old & I was a vegan for almost 10 years. I have had many rescue animals of my own over the the past 15 years but I'm recently divorced so no pets of my own currently. Now I have a lot more flexibility & freedom in my schedule to do house pet sitting & dog walking. I have a level 2 certificate in Animal Reiki healing & will be getting basic first aid and CPR training for animals this summer. I have a very flexible schedule, am mostly free during the early afternoon & mid-day so I like to get plenty of peak sun time outdoors. I do part time work in finance & also work as a freelance digital artist which is fully remote so I can keep pets company during the work day or take them out as needed. I do not have pets of my own or children so I can usually fit last minute requests in for repeat customers. In my past life before becoming an artist, I was an accountant for over a decade & my fingerprints have been registered with the financial securities broker systems. I have a very positive reputation professionally & personally in my community. My freelance business which is contingent on having great reference allows me the lifestyle to be a pet sitter.

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 was raised in a household of dog lovers, so it's no surprise that the same goes for me. I grew up raising multiple pitbulls, Yorkies and cats, so I have experience with many different sized animals. I treat all animals that I encounter as if they are my own because, as a pet owner, I know that these furry friends are a big part of the family. They deserve the same amount of love and care as any human, and I'm willing to give your pet all of this and more. I want to use my love for animals to help finance my study in the computer science field and help out my family at home, including buying the necessities for my pets at home. I work a typical 9-5 Monday to Friday. I'm usually up by 7am for morning walks. My lunch breaks are usually spent going home to spend time with my own little ones. Then the evenings are free for all shenanigans with the fur babies! Weekends are very free! I always make sure all dogs are leashed or at a safe distance before opening any doors. When house sitting, I always stick to common rooms and leave other rooms closed to avoid any messes that may occur from a fur baby getting a little too curious. I stray away from giving my own treats to avoid any allergies that any little ones may have.

“Stuart is great to work with, I’d highly recommend him for any of your dog walking or other care needs. He is a clear communicator, proactive with updates, and flexible with scheduling…plus our dog loves him!”
