Pet Sitting Smithburg

“Jess was terrific! This was a last minute booking and the first time that we used Rover. It was a great experience all around and I know our puppies were happy to have a visitor drop in while we were out.”

Shari B.

“We’ve rebookedJules several times on Rover. It can be difficult on here to find people who appreciate and love cats as much as dogs, and Jules does fantastic! We trust her to take care of our kitty during our absence. Thank you!”

Rachel K.

“Kelly was wonderful with my puppy! She was very caring, attentive and communicated the whole time. She went above and beyond and made sure she was safe and comfortable! Highly recommend!!”

Aileen E.

“Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!”

Tami S.

“Rosalyn was excellent with Cha Cha without ever meeting her! She took plenty of photos, was prompt and is very courteous and responsive to any last minute details or changes. I have already booked her for another week before this week’s drop-in visits are complete! Highly recommend!”

About: I had dogs all my life. I'm compassionate, energetic and patient. I am organized & committed to provide the best care possible. I'm confident that my qualifications & experience make me an excellent choice for the role of Dog Walker. I have many references. I work three days a week from 9-1:00 and I come straight home. I'm free on the weekends and also some holidays as well. I would walk your dog morning, after work and before bed time for (boarding). My home is very calming and lots of natural light. I only board one dog at time. As far as going to your home to walk your dog or feed the cats, I would be able to go in the afternoon and the evening. I'm very responsible to show up on time in the rain, snow and sleet . Please let me know if there are any behaviors I should be aware of. I would need to know if your pet has any special needs with medication. I would also like for you to write down everything I need to know regarding their daily rountine. I want the both of us to be able to trust each other and feel comfortable. I want to provide the best care for your dog. When boarding, I only board one at a time. Walks would be 3x a day. I do have a fenced in patio for your dog to relax.

“Laura was amazing. She was very caring with my 13 year old dog. She even carried her down the stairs because she had a hard time with her back legs. Laura carried her outside also so my dog didn’t have to maneuver more stairs. She kept us updated and send video and pictures. I would totally recommend Laura. She is professional, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. She hand fed my dog to make sure she ate. She was on time with her visits. Again, I would highly recommend Laura.”

“Sara was absolutely amazing with our Rocky! She is very good with both mom and dog. Communication was amazing and I felt better being away knowing our dog was taken care of. She’s amazing!”

Jodie B.

“Everyone in our house loves Sharyn. Sometimes I think Boba likes Sharyn more than he likes me. That’s how much animals like her. No need to have any concerns about her coming into your home. She’s trustworthy and does really love animals. And we love her!”

“John was amazing with Oreo. He was very professional and followed the instructions to care for Oreo during the check-in. Highly recommend him.”

About: Hello. I have been working professionally with animals for the last 5 years. I spent three years working at a pet store working/caring for pets in the store that included dogs, cats, and exotics. And now for almost 3 years I have been working as a veterinary assistant/technician at an emergency and speciality hospital. That means I have experience to help with your pup/cat with special needs and helping administering medications! I grew up with animals all my life. I currently have a dog (Onyx) that I have personally trained myself and a cat (Masha) that I have also trained to do a trick or two for a treat. I have a huge love for animals and just like I do for my patients I work with, I will treat your baby with love and care as if it were my own. I currently work full-time at the veterinary hospital so I’m only available Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. That includes mornings, afternoons, and most nights. Unfortunately I cannot watch/bring your pets to my home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, elderly, or has medical needs, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Experienced with senior pets, diabetic pets, seizure patients, post-operative care, medication administration, mobility assistance, and other special-needs animals.

“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been a pet owner for over 15 years and have been surrounded by animals throughout my life. I currently have a five-year-old rescue dog at my family home, and my previous dog experienced behavioral challenges that taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding—especially when caring for animals that need extra time and support. I have also volunteered at animal shelters both in my hometown and in Hawaii. In these roles, I cared for and spent time with dogs who had been abandoned, surrendered, abused, or found roaming the streets. These experiences strengthened my ability to approach every animal with empathy and adapt to their individual needs. I am responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I would be thrilled to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while you are away. I am around all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available after 5 Monday-Friday. I work full time Monday-Friday so I do not have flexibility on those days. I will carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and take the time to earn their trust. I will keep their environment clean and secure, provide fresh food and water, and closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety. I am also comfortable following specific care instructions for pets with behavioral or medical needs.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I'm retired and the best way to spend my time is with dogs. I also have experience grooming dogs: wired-haired breeds are my specialty - I do stripping). I'm pretty much available any day / time. Afternoons and nights are best, but don't worry, I have your dog covered based on your needs. My current dog is an English Bull Terrier (Spuds MacKenzie or the Target dog). I have a fenced yard and but also take her (Daisy) on short/long walks daily. I can likewise walk / play with you dog as you wish. I have also taken/passed the NJ Animal Control Officer course/exam.

“Ethan did a great job caring for Spitfire! Everything was clean and tidy, Spitfire was happy and content. I'd be happy to hire Ethan again!”

About: I've had dogs since I was 14 and have taken care of them for family and friends over the years. That includes small and big dogs, young and old. Dogs in general seem to be drawn to me. I'm currently working part-time so that gives me more time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. The best thing I can do is make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you're away. I do that by keeping them in their same routine everyday and giving them a lot of attention.

About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.

About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!
