House Sitting in Westerly

About: I’ve taken care of friends and family’s furry friends for the last 15 years. They have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets often. Until recently, I had my own senior dog and had taken care of puppies, adults, seniors, and even dogs with disabilities. I currently work part time and am able to fit in walks or drop in visits around my regular daily schedule. I usually only know my schedule two weeks in advance. I am not able to take care of your pets in my home but am happy and able to keep them comfortable in their own space!

About: I’ve grown up with a dog and cat my entire life. I have experience with training. I grew up walking my neighbors dogs. When my friend goes out of town I walk and feed her dog as well as her cat. I learn very easily so if there is specific needs for your pet, I will always follow those instructions. I have just started using the rover app and have had wonderful experiences with pets and families. I work some days during the week, but otherwise I am fully flexible. I’m open to discussing any needs and finding the best schedule for the pets! If there is anything I can do to ensure you feel comfortable, I am more than happy to work it out. Making sure your pet is cared for is my top priority.

“Natalie spoiled my spoiled brats the entire time she stayed with them. Super flexible, helpful and professional. My heathen hounds and I agree she is their girl!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 2 years now. I have 3 dogs myself, 2 being puppies. So pets are always in my life. I’ve been walking and dog sitting for around 2 years for friends and family’s. I’m currently in college so Christmas break and summer I’m only part-time so I have a lot of extra time to get some walking in! I have a fenced in yard and a puppy to get some play time in with. I live in a neighbors so a lot of safe roads to walk through!

“Great person to be with our Thor! Definitely will hire her again”

“Jennifer consistently takes such thoughtful, attentive care of my sweet Cambria. She keeps me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she truly cares and goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely wonderful pet sitter.”

“Kiera took great care of our golden retriever! She was reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive. It was so nice to get regular updates and photos. My dog warmed up instantly to Kiera and was relaxed and happy when I returned. The house was also left spotless and well cared for.”

Cate S.

“Jessica is the best sitter you could have, she stayed overnight with my dog and took incredible care of him. I now have a sitter for my Tucker when I need to go away.”

Renee F.

“Angela did a great job watching our pets. It’s reassuring to know they are safe and cared for when you are away. She’s calm, responsive and flexible. One pet needed some extra assistance and Angela helped her out. Thank you Angela!”

Cathy S.

“Anna is a reliable pet sitter. All three of our furry family members are relaxed and happy when we return, especially our golden retriever who enjoys her walks and outings with Anna.”

About: I’ve grown up caring for both a dog and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with pets of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In addition to my own pets, I regularly dog sat a corgi named Allen for two years, giving me hands-on experience with consistent routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and care. What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with animals! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also great with maintaining structure, whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules or making sure energetic dogs get the exercise they need. I currently work part-time, but I have flexible availability during the week and weekends. I am unavailable on Friday nights, but I’m happy to help with mornings, afternoons, and other evenings. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet’s care fits reliably into my schedule. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I’m always attentive to their needs. I make sure doors and leashes are secure, provide plenty of care and supervision, and communicate with you so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Aside from having a dog of my own, I've spent my whole life around dogs of all sizes through family and friends. I often dog sit friends and coworkers and have hands-on experience caring for different breeds and temperaments. I'm also a Husky Handler for Jonathan the Husky at the University of Connecticut, where I help care for and handle him at events. I have a huge soft spot for animals and am committed to making every pet feel loved and happy in my care. When not in school, my schedule can be very flexible and I can often accommodate short-notice requests. During the semester, I'm generally more open on the weekends than weekdays; however, depending on the time and location, I'm happy to find a schedule that will work. I prioritise keeping pets comfortable and safe, while maintaining their normal routines, whether they have specific exercise schedules, medications to take, etc. I carefully follow any and all instructions provided, and I also make sure all pets receive plenty of attention and companionship so they feel secure while their owner is away. I respect each client's home by keeping everything clean and organised, and am happy to provide regular updates on pets for owners' peace of mind.

“Rachel was fantastic! Polly and Amber were obviously well looked after and exercised. Will definitely use her again.”

“Emily did a great job taking care of our 5 pets! They require some specialized care and she had no trouble doing everything we asked of her! She was also just super nice, left the house clean, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”

Marlee F.

“Susan was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and treated him like her own. I honestly think he was disappointed when we came home and his daily excursions to downtown Annapolis, trips to get pup cups, and walkabouts were coming to a close! She helped keep our extremely social boy busy and distracted while our family was away and left our house immaculate. We got daily reports with pictures, which was fantastic! Would not hesitate to use Susan again and recommend her to everyone!”

Kinley B.

“My stubborn old rescue chow liked her. What more could you want.”

Spencer M.

“Sue took great care of my senior dog (April) and senior cat (Cleo). She gave April a special treat by giving her a ride in her convertible (yes, she confirmed that a ride was ok), and then let her run around her fenced yard. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive while I was away. I know that April & Cleo look forward to Sue’s next visit. ?”

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets my entire life, with dedication, experience and loyalty. I would treat your dog as a part of my own family. As an active and athletic retiree, pet sitting seamlessly weaves into my daily life with abundant time to shower pets with attention, play time (someone say jogging?!) and care. In the literal lap of luxury, Toby and Pippin are in a world of pampering with plush beds to gourmet treats. In the 14 1/2 years we had our beloved Golden Retirever … Bozzie… he was our world and gave us the same endless affection we gave him.

“Amy is amazing! She gave our pets the best care, loving them and giving the dogs a nice long walk every visit. She sent updates and fun pics every day. Right when you meet Amy you can see how attentive and sweet she will be with your pets. We truly enjoyed our vacation because of Amy’s love and care for our babies at home!!”
