Welcome to Yolanda’s Pet Sitting & Errand Service, LLC. Yolanda’s Pet Sitting & Errand Service, LLC is owned and operated by Yolanda Doyon-Lariviere.   In addition to holding a B.S. in Management and an A.S. in Computer Systems Management, we are bonded and insured for your protection, and certified members of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters, Pet Sitters International, Professional United Pet Sitters Association and SNEPPS (Southern New England Professional Pet Sitters).   Yolanda has six pets of her own:  two dogs (Caymen & Moe), a cockatoo (Chloe) and three cats (Elexe, Velvet, and Sam), all of whom are rescues, as well as a 150 gallon fish tank with cichlids and iridescent sharks.   Please visit the photo gallery to see all of my pets.

I have volunteered for organizations, such as International Society for Animal Rights, and served on the Factory Farm Animal Conference in conjunction with the RI Animal Rights Coalition and Volunteer Services for Animals.  My mission is to rescue and ameliorate the lives of all animals!   Pet sitting falls into the category of improving the lives of our beloved pets by giving them that mid-day break and offering an alternative to kenneling!  I’ve been around animals all of my life and I love them all - big & small. I currently act as a facilitator in adopting animals in need through a vast network of animal rescue leagues.

Why Choose a Pet Sitter?

Pet sitting is a personalized, professional service dedicated to providing loving, experienced care for your pet in the comfort and security of your home for pets that become stressed in other situations or in my home for social animals, such as dogs.

Caring pet owners know that their birds, cats, timid dogs and other small animals adjust better to their leaving & have less stress when they remain at home. They also know that their sociable dogs will do better in an environment where there is plenty of love, people, dogs, and stimulation and fun all day vs. being left home alone all day.
