“This is my 6th or 7th time using Krista for our cats. One who needs medicine injected orally twice a day. She is the only one we trust besides ourselves to get the job done and take care of our cats. We were just away for 17 days and we came back to happy and healthy cats. Don’t hesitate on booking her :)”


“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.”



“This is the second time this year we’ve hired Bri to take care of our high-maintenance cats for an extended period of time. She always sends great report cards with photos showing how well she is taking care of them with lots of snuggles and playtime. We are able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cats are in such caring and capable hands.”



“Renee is great! I requested her on Monday to come to my home Tuesday through Friday for puppy visits and she agreed and came by Monday night to meet me and my pup! She’s been awesome, and her updates are great. She tells me exactly what the pup does when she visits, walks, pees, poos, eats, plays, and tricks that I’ve been working on that she reinforces. Would highly recommend.”

“Davis took excellent care of my three pups while I was away for six days, would definitely book with her again! Had some difficult weather while I was away too and she was super proactive about making sure I know my pups would still be taken care of. Highly recommend 😊”


“I can tell Maryann went above and beyond for my two cats to earn their trust and provide them comfort. Very grateful, and planning future bookings, with assurance I will feel secure that they're well cared for when I'm away. Thank you, Maryann!”


“Fiona is incredible! My husband and I recently went away and had Fiona watch our two precious cats; it’s very hard for us to find a good fit for a sitter because one of our cats is diabetic and has been described as “fractious”. She’s very sweet…but only after she’s been sufficiently vicious. Fiona came by a couple of times before our trip to test the waters and try checking the cats blood sugar. She became the third person who is able to, which in itself is amazing. We knew that both our sweet girls were in good hands while we were away AND we received daily pictures and videos!! Some of the pictures were just amazing, and you can tell that Fiona truly enjoys spending time with the animals she cares for. Our fractious kitty even snuggled a bit and posed for some selfies; our other shy kitty came out to play. It was so clear that they both felt comfortable with her. I can’t imagine having anyone else pet sit in the future. Fiona is a gift and we’re so lucky to have found her. I can’t recommend her enough!!”


“Sam is a true animal lover and my dogs just loved the visit! They had a great time plying in the yard followed by dinner. Dogs are a great judge of character and my babies loved the time they had together. Sam also took great photos of my babies. ❤️”


About: I dog-sat and walked dogs all throughout highschool and have never met a dog i didn’t love that didn’t also love me! I am interested in making some college money while home from college! I will walk your dogs wherever you desire to get all of their energy out and play additional games with them if you’d like! I am a super sweet, energetic college student that has always loved dogs and will take the absolute best care of your dogs to ensure your trust and you will feel confident with me and your dogs. I am willing to meet before in a public setting to make sure I am the right fit for your needs and perfect for your pup or cat! I am not as well experienced with cats but did clean my neighbors litter box and feed their cat throughout highschool! I currently work full-time in Downtown Providence but would be able to either stay overnight or visit them once in the morning and spend extended time with them in the afternoon. I do have every other Friday off, if you’re looking for a long weekend sitter! My roommate has a cat but that is the only animal in my home. I have no preference on animals on the furniture so whichever you would prefer! I also love to go on long walks so they would get plenty of excercise!

“My initial Rover sitter bailed the night before my trip, and thank goodness I found Rebecca! Not only did she offer to have a late night video call so she could see the apartment and get the rundown on how to take care of my dog - but she was in communication with me every day following. I have a large breed dog that can be a bit intimidating to some given his size and energy level, but she bonded with him so well and I could tell in all the pictures she sent he was loving his time with her. Hands down will be booking with Rebecca from now on!”

“I was anxious about getting a cat sitter while I was out of town and absolutely blessed to have Maya watch my kitty. She sent updates at breakfast and dinner, and plenty of photos. I could tell in the updates and photos that my kitty was very happy and well cared for. And upon my return, found a peaceful and happy cat indeed. Would recommend Maya to anyone, she is a joy to work with. More importantly, you can tell she really loves animals and will take good care of our little fur babies.”
