Dog Sitting in North Smithfield

About: I have been volunteering with animal rescues since I was in high school along with dogwalking in my hometown. I have spent the past three years in college volunteering with the local animal shelter walking their dogs to relieve them of time in the shelter. On these walks I take the time to work on basic skills and socialization. I am completing my MBA this summer, and would love to help you out with any of your pet care needs! I am finishing up my MBA at Bryant University leaving me with an open availability days outside of my classes which are Mondays and Wednesdays. I have previously handled multiple different dogs in different situations. I always aim to make the animal feel the most comfortable in every situation. I plan to care for your pets on your own terms whether that be in your own backyard or on walks near your house.

“Laura was able to watch my dogs with pretty short notice. She was great! She set up a meet and greet promptly. While we were away and she made the visit, she sent us 35 pictures which was awesome! I highly recommend Laura.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Recently during my work in healthcare, I took on cat and dog sitting on weekends. It has been great to spend time with animals as school and work doesn’t currently allow time for one of my own. I love getting outside for walks and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I would love to help care for your pets! I am currently in graduate school and am usually in class from 9am - 4pm Monday through Friday, but have mornings, evenings and lunchtime off during the week and I have weekends free. Some weeks are more flexible than others so please reach out! I live in an apartment but thoroughly enjoy walks outside and trips to nearby parks. I will keep you updated by sending plenty of pictures and notes. Let me know what works best for your furry friend and I will do my absolute best to make them as comfy as possible!

“Tony took great care of our three doggies! He was so flexible for our meet & greet, so attentive to the doggies, and communication was so easy. Will definitely request Tony again.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and share a very close, loving bond with them. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, and it would be a pleasure to do this professionally while bringing peace of mind to pet parents. Pets have always been part of my daily life. I already walk and take care of pets in my neighborhood, and it’s something I truly enjoy doing My care always follows the owner’s wishes and each pet’s unique personality. I do my best to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy at all times.

About: I’m an experienced rescue pet owner who’s fostered both cats and dogs, including my own behaviorally challenged dog. I grew up caring for a senior dog with medical needs, so I understand the importance of patience, attention to detail, and compassion. Through my rescue work, I’ve provided both cat and dog sitting and am excited to offer that same loving care to more pets and families! Pet care best fits into my daily schedule during lunch breaks and anytime after 4 PM! I can be flexible as well depending on the time slots needed and my class schedule. Safety is always my main priority. Through my experience working with flight-risk fosters and animals with a variety of behavioral and medical needs, I’ve learned how to create secure environments for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to details, careful with routines, and always mindful of each animal’s comfort and safety

“We used Molly again for some drop in visits and she did not disappoint! Absolutely recommend her and trust her with our 3 ladies. She's extremely punctual, leaves thoughtful remarks on how the pups did, and takes lots of pictures. Even our most shy girl offered some belly rubs to Molly today! Hope to keep using her - she's wonderful!”

“Julie is phenomenal! Can’t recommend her enough. She consistently goes above and beyond and treats our home and foster pup with so much love and respect. She is so kind and loving and will truly care for your pet! Thank you, Julie!”

“We needed someone last minute for a drop in visit for our Dewey and Rachel did an excellent job. She notified us when she arrived, provided two photos during her visit , and performed all the instructions we left for her. Would definitely use her service again in the future.”

“Angelisa is so good to our 4 year old Maltipoo. She is so patient, gentle and calming. She knows his routines and our instructions. She is very professional and always on time and stays the whole time scheduled. My family and I are so happy we have her to be there for our little guy when we can’t be.”

About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals! These animals include dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, rodents, etc. I strive to make your animal as comfortable, happy, and content as possible while you're away! Animals welfare is my #1 When i'm not working at my part time job, i'm always caring for an animal in some way. Whether it be taking care of my own horse, caring for my guinea pigs, playing with my cats, or caring for the other horses at my barn. Animals have tremendously helped my mental health, and I strive to give pets and their parents the best experience with no stress. For caring for these pets, I pay attention to what the pet wants and needs. I work around my care routine to fit what the pet prefers, and make everything as comfortable as possible for them.

About: Hi! I'm Rachel. I have been obsessed with dogs since I can remember! My first word was "doggy-oggy-oggy!" I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years and absolutely love helping other pet owners when they need it! I have worked with dogs of every age range, including senior to puppy. Right now I am looking to primarily dog walk to get more steps in and spend more time with pups! I can also do drop ins for those that need it. Thank you! I have a dog myself (he is more of a miniature horse) at 96 pounds! He is my best friend! I walk him twice a day, and would love to help out as many other dog parents who need walks for their dogs as well! I have a fenced in yard, if there is ever a need to bring your pet to my house and I have 2 crates as well. Ensuring a safe environment for your pup is my top priority.

About: I am a certified veterinary technician with a specialty in pet behavior. I have been a veterinary technician for 30 years. I am qualified as a pet trainer and I am certified as a pet behavior consultant. I am also a certified pet massage therapist and Reiki practitioner. I am capable of giving medications and any extra TLC that is needed. I love all aged pups from house training puppies to golden aged seniors and anything inbetween. I have trained and raised all typed of pets from cats and dogs to rabbits, ferrets, birds, and rats. Pets have always been and will always be welcome in my home. Animals are my life love. Having extra furry friends around me during the day is always a pleasure. I work from home and can take a break when I wish therefore my ability to do drop ins can be arranged around owners schedule Safety is a priority. All escape routes must be identified to me before the visit Cats are not small dogs, trust with them is an ongoing thing, and I take my time go slow around cats, and let them investigate me

About: I've taken care of my dog for 10 years with the rest of my family. As well as taking dog sitting for other pets, have done overnight and just check ups. Very flexible, can walk or look after your pet almost every day of the week this summer. Can also do almost any hour of the day. I can't keep pets at my current apartment. But if I did I would make sure they have enough bathroom breaks throughout the day and are well fed and hydrated! I would make sure your dog is always accounted for and I am ready for anything!

“I hired Renee to care for my kitties while I have been away. She stayed just as long as I asked her to and sent me plenty of videos while playing with my cats and kitten. They were definitely happy to see her and I will be booking her again! She has a genuine passion for animals :)”

“Sarah was great with communication and sending pictures! My cats are shy so she didn’t get a chance to play with them but I was happy knowing I could trust Sarah to take care of their basic needs while I was away!”

About: Hi, I'm Nikki! I'm new to Rover but I've helped care for animals for many years. I've worked for a dog walking company and it was one of the best jobs I've had in my life. Being out, exploring, and getting exercise was fun for both me and the dogs on my route. I'd give reports and take photos of all our outings. From there, I worked at an animal hospital assisting vet techs and doctors by walking, feeding and holding the animals for their treatments. I learned so much, especially about having patience and compassion for animals that are sick and scared. I gained a lot of knowledge about safe animal handling and body language. I've also completed Fear Free training! I have adopted a pretty quirky Beagle/Boston terrier mix about 10 yrs ago and he's kept me busy ever since. He's very smart and active. A lot of understanding and keeping him busy have helped him come such a long way. It's been so rewarding to see! Are you looking to get your pets out and about while you're at work? I'm available weekdays from the morning until early evening. I'm available for a Saturday morning stroll as well! I would care for your pet as you request. Whether it be a neighborhood walk, a fenced in yard, or a path nearby, I look forward to doing what your pet enjoys! I always have safety in mind, so your pet would always be under supervision and leashed in my care.

“Our pups absolutely love her! Marissa bonded right away and spent a lot of time with them. She was also very flexible when our schedule kept changing! We highly recommend her services!”
