“We are so happy with Fionnuala. She was so patient and sweet with my boy. He is a little nervous with new people and he warmed up to her fast. She had very good communication with us and was understanding to all of our dog’s needs. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Alyssa walked our dog for us while we were on vacation. Before our trip, she came to the house to meet our dog. She made sure to clarify any instructions and behavioral quirks to make sure that she could keep our dog safe and give her a good time. Alyssa sent us pictures and updates after each walk. She helped our dog play safely with other dogs that she encountered. We’re lucky to have found her!”
“Carly responded quickly to my request to walk my puppy and offered to do a meet and greet prior. She listened to instructions and my puppy seemed to love the time they spent together. Carly definitely has experience with puppies which was a plus for me. I would hire Carly again for walks or house sitting and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: Since the age of 7 years old I have always had a dog around my families home. Along with my family pet, I have experience taking care of dogs that range in age and size. I have experience with 6 month old puppies that need a lot of attention through 14 year old dogs that need medication given to them. Over the years, I have taken care of pets for my friends and family ranging from a day, a weekend, to a whole week. Having a dog of my own, I understand the difficulties of finding the right sitter as well as the importance of finding the right one. I am currently a Graduate student at the University of Rhode Island. For the summer, I am taking online asynchronous classes. Since my classes are asynchronous I am able to work my school schedule around my pet sitting schedule. With that being said, I still need a couple hours each day to devote to my school work. When it comes to someone else's home, I follow all the directions that are given to me. I am very versatile depending on the needs of the pet and owner. When it comes to walks, I always walk dogs with their leash and preferably a harness for long walks (but if they don't have one that is okay as well). If I bring the dog to my own home, I have a deck with a gate and a big backyard for playing.
“I’m so happy that I found Christy to take care of my dog. She’s so reliable and communicates so well and of course she’s great with my pup She really makes me feel at ease knowing she’s coming by”
“Siobhan is an excellent doggie walker. She takes pride in her relationship and responsibilities. I’m not sure how long I’ll need her to help me. But, I would definitely call her again if I do.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since the womb! I also currently work as a vet assistant at Spring Valley Animal Hospital. I can also honestly say I love animals more than humans :) My schedule at my current job varies. I get my new schedule for the next week every Thursday. I’m 100% sure that I could be available for your pet if planned accordingly. I am a cat mom of 1 red tabby boy & a few stray cats that I still feed at my old house. I understand the concern people have for their fur babies. I’m here to give your pets the best & loving experience possible!
About: Love both dogs and cats. I do not have “professional” experience, but have owned dogs my entire life. My last dog passed away 2 years ago from cancer and I miss having a furry friend, so would enjoy taking care of yours. My entire family loves animals, so your pet will be well loved and cared for. I do have children, so the dogs or cats I would be able to board will have to be child friendly pets. I have experience with large dogs, pit bulls, mastiffs and small dogs, Pomeranians. I also understand the anxiety pets go through when separated from their owners, so I will make sure to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Basically care for your dog as I would want my dog cared for.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, my own and others, for over 10 years. My neighbors and friends can always count on me to make sure their animals are well taken care of when they're away. I'll have plenty of time to come and care for your animals, I can stay for as long or as short as you'd like me to. I have enough free time to play fetch or go on long walks, whatever your animal needs! I can follow your routine to a T so your babies have their regular schedule, even when you're gone. I have experience crating dogs as well as potty training puppies.
About: I absolutely love dogs and believe they deserve patience, care, and plenty of playtime. While I search for a full-time job, I have extra time to give dogs the attention and exercise they need. I never blame a dog for bad behavior—it’s all about how they’re trained and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just good company, I’ll make sure your dog is happy and well cared for! Since I am currently looking for a full-time job, caring for a dog can fit naturally into my routine by giving structure to my day while keeping me active. I can schedule walks and playtime around job searching and interviews. Plus, spending time with dogs can be a great way to reduce stress and stay motivated. I can offer a safe, loving, and fun environment for dogs. I have a big fenced-in yard gives them plenty of space to run and play, and I have two friendly dogs that can provide great companionship. Plus, i truly understand dogs—I’m patient, and my two kids love dogs too and my husband won’t admit it but he loves caring for dogs too, he has never missed an episode of Cesar Milan.
About: Dogs love me! And I love them. I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. And I will treat your fur baby as if he/she were my own. Taking care of pets is natural way of life for me. I am mostly free on the weekends for pet walking and pet drop ins. Currently not caring for dogs in my home. This may be a future service that I offer once I can set this up with my own pets.

“Antonia is absolutely fantastic!! Our pup is always super excited to see her. She goes above and beyond, taking him to dog parks and on long walks. We are lucky we found her to take such good care of our pup when we’re away.”

Yhakerra M.
“Yhakerra is a wonderful pet nannie! I work for as an executive for a global company with a moderate travel schedule and have hired Yhakerra to look after my dog on several occasions. She is responsible, reliable and flexible. I am very particular about who I choose to take care of my dog in my absence. On our first engagement Yhakerra was patient, understanding and accommodating to my requests. And most importantly my dog loves her. She left her sweater on my couch after one of her shifts, my dog slept with her sweater for 2 days. It broke my heart when I had to take it from him to give it a proper wash before returning it to her. That was all I needed to know to confirm that she is my dog-nannie of choice. Before making my plans and booking trips, I check to see if she is available first.”

She has plenty of yard space for dogs to run and play, and she gives them so much love and attention. It’s clear that she truly cares for the dogs she watches, and I always feel at ease knowing my pup is safe and happy with her. Highly recommend Shirley for anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
