Pet Boarding North Smithfield

“Leaving our dog with Liliya was easy and comfortable. She communicated well and sent us photos throughout each day. Most importantly our dog seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up! We will definitely be back next time we need a dog sitter in her area!”

About: Hi, I’m Marilyn! I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, starting with my neighbors' cats and expanding to dogs as I gained experience. Medication & Special Care Experience With years of pet ownership, I am very comfortable managing special health needs. I am experienced in administering: Oral Medications (I’m a pro at using pill pockets, cheese, or whatever trick your pet prefers!) Topical Treatments Ear Drops Meet My Pack: We are a pet-loving household! When you book with me, your pet will be sharing space with my sweet fur-family. My French Bulldog: He is an 8-year-old Frenchie who is incredibly laid-back and absolutely wonderful with kids and other animals. My Cat- Nemo is well-adjusted to a busy, animal-friendly home. Home Environment & Boarding Accommodations I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as they do in their own home. My house is fully equipped for secure, happy stays: Fenced-In Yard: Perfect for safe, supervised playtime and quick potty breaks. Finished Basement with Baby Gates: I have a spacious, finished basement that is perfect for giving pets their own dedicated zone. If your pet isn't fully comfortable around cats, I can easily keep them separated using baby gates. Crate-Friendly: If your dog prefers to sleep in a crate or is crated for safety when unsupervised, I am happy to utilize a crate according to your exact preferences. Whether your pet needs active playtime in the yard, quiet companionship or precise medication schedules, I am here to treat them like a member of my own family. I can't wait to meet your pup or kitty! As a stay-at-home mom and part-time kstudent, nurturing and safety are second nature to me. My classes only take up 2 days of my week, leaving me with wide-open availability to care for your pet the rest of the time. Because I am home so much, I can cater to all of their needs—from high-energy play sessions to specialized care routines. You can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in attentive, loving hands! My goal is to provide a "home away from home" that mirrors the safety and structure they have at your house. Home & Environment: Secure Yard: Large, fenced-in area for supervised outdoor time. Hydration: Constant access to filtered, fresh water. Socialization: My two young sons, our friendly 8-year-old Frenchie, our 1 year old rescue pup and cat make for a social environment, but we can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space. Crate Ready: I can utilize your pup’s crate for sleeping or breaks to maintain their existing training and comfort. My Promise: I am highly detail-oriented and will follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and behavior to the letter. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my primary concerns.

“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”

“Trish was great! Beautiful home and very active with our dog. She was always giving us updates throughout the day.”

“Lisa was great. Our sweet but nervous pup settled in quickly and seemed to feel comfortable and happy. Lisa was very accommodating to our schedule and attentive to my dogs needs pertaining to her anxiety. We received frequent updates and photos. Her home provided plenty of soft comfy landing spots for your pup and a beautiful fenced yard that my dog loved. She was great with communication and we will definitely use Lisa again”

About: I have rescued 2 senior dogs in the past and understand their unique needs. One of my senior dogs and others I have cared for struggled with anxiety and required a quiet calm environment. I do work full time but am able to work from home at times or can check in through the day and adjust my schedule as needed. If I was caring for your pet in your home I would strive to maintain the schedule and routines that is most familiar to them. If your pet is in my home, it is a quiet calm environment with a fenced in yard that allows freedom to run and explore. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks.

“I had a wonderful experience boarding my goldendoodle with Shawn! From the very beginning, she was incredibly cooperative and informative, which made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She took the time to answer all my questions and provided updates while I was away, which I really appreciated. Her huge fenced yard is perfect for dogs to run around and play safely, and I could tell my dog absolutely loved the space. Shawn clearly cares deeply for the pets she looks after, and it shows in the way she manages everything so thoughtfully. I highly recommend Shawn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Monica was great with my 2 dogs. I received lots of pictures and updates while I was away. My dogs were happy and tired upon pick up. I recommend Monica and will use her again. Also, I want to note that communication with her prior to there stay was excellent and we even had a quick meet and greet.”

“Erin was an amazing sitter for our dog when we went away. She communicated great throughout the stay and we felt great going away knowing Hildie was in such great and loving hands!”

Mae B.

“Lyndsey and Evan were amazing caretakers for our dog. They took him on multiple walks each day on the trails, which he absolutely loved. They were also very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

Wendy V.

“I selected Leo to watch my dog Atlas overnight, since I was attending a wedding closeby. Leo was always very responsive and flexible. I love that he sent updates and pictures throughout the evening and the next morning. Atlas had no problem staying with Leo and I would definitely book him again!”

Anny C.

“Stephen and Cece were phenomenal! With an anxious dog, it can sometimes be difficult when leaving your fur baby behind. There were numerous updates throughout the day, with pictures and I felt that Lady was left in great hands! Stephen even suggested a trial run, prior to our expected drop off day, which was a phenomenal idea. They cared for Lady as if she were their own and I couldn't recommend them more!”

Sheena P.

“Armitage took great care of my 2 dogs for a week. We got photos everyday and plenty of updates that they were doing well. Armitage also washed our dog’s beds before we picked them up, which was not expected! I felt very confident they were in good hands while we were away!”

Emily R.

“Eliza did a great job of catsitting my two kittens; she provided regular photo and video updates and was available to answer questions. My kittens had a lovely time with her!”

Esha S.

“Wanda was great! Our back-to-town flightly was delayed quite a lot. She was very thoughtful and flexitble with time. Our dog seems very happy!”

Miles Z.

“Tomoe and her entire family were amazing, and my dog quickly adopted them as his second family! Tomoe loves dogs and totally understands how important a caring dog sitter needs to be. She kept me aprised of my dog Muskies daily routine, with daily written descriptions and photos and videos. She cared for my dog for 10 days and treated him as her own, following all my instructions to the letter. I have used two other sitters(not from Rover but though recommendations) and neither even came close to the care and bond that my dog received with Tomoe. She played with him, took him for walks and to the dog park where my dog could meet and play with other dogs . In addition to her care, the rest of her family were also fantastic and played with my dog until he was played out! She is highly educated in the ways of dogdom, and truly has a passion for her work as a dog sitter. If I could give her 10 stars I would....I only hope she has availability the next time I need her services since once you have experienced the best there is no going anywhere else!”

“Lora was so great with taking care of our two boxer fur kids while we were away for several days. The pups were immediately welcomed in and felt right at home as soon as they entered her home. The boxers are high energy and she knew exactly how to care for them as a prior boxer owner. She treated them just like they were her own and were part of her family during their stay. They enjoyed being able to go in her fenced in yard for plenty of outside time and were spoiled with love and attention during their visit. Lora also stayed in touch by providing pictures and updates on how their visit was going. They can't wait to return back!”

Christina D.

“Sarah & Luis were wonderful hosts for our 12 year old dog Bailey. They sent daily pictures & provided daily updates. Look forward to booking with them again.”

“Eddie was kind and gentle with Abby, and even sent along terrific photos of Abby’s adventures playing with the family and with their beautiful malamute in their fenced in yard and spacious, immaculate home. Abby came back wagging her tail and clearly well-taken care of. Thank you, Eddie! We will definitely book you again.”
