Pet Sitting in Smithfield

“Gabriella was very invested in our cat’s wellbeing while we were gone and went above and beyond. She made sure he had company and got everything he needed. I really appreciated her time investment and transparent, picture-laden updates at every check-in. Definitely recommended to book her!”

“Maria is wonderful!! So communicative and loving with our fur babies!!”

Michelle R.

“We are so happy to have found Jenna on Rover. She is wonderful with our two dogs. She is reliable and very detail oriented. We felt very confident and comfortable going out of town. We looked forward to getting her reports and lots of pictures while we were away. Thank you Jenna!”

Kara K.

“Jim was so easy to work with when we needed someone to come let Hershey out late at night with little notice. He arrived on time, sent us pictures, and was so sweet to our baby! I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely use him in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats all my life. Big or small, young or old each of our pets get the love and attention they deserve. Our pets have always been treated like family and rest assured knowing your special guy or gal will be part of our family for as long as they are with us. We currently have 4 cats all under the age of 3, and 125lb Great Dane/Lab mix, and a 5lb Shih-poo. I currently work full time from home and set my own schedule. I try to take my pups out every 2-4 hours. If I go out on the weekends for sports or activities, I try our best to keep it under a few hours. I have crates available if needed. I have a large backyard for your furry friends to explore. I do not mind walking your pets on the leash. I have 2 floors in our house with no room or furniture restrictions for our dogs or cats.

About: I have experience working with all kinds of dogs: big dogs, small dogs, old dogs, young dogs, sick dogs, and dogs with behavioral issues. I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, and fish. I’m detail oriented, patient, and am always aware of my surroundings to ensure both my and your pets safety. I have experience with dogs that need special attention or extra care including those with behavioral issues like anxiety, fear, or reactivity. I have 3 Australian shepherds that keep me on my toes and 3 cats! I routinely take the dogs for a walk or hike while the cats nap around the house. Right now, I am available most days and times to check in on a pet or take them for a walk. Almost anyone with an Australian shepherd will tell you that they can be quite particular and high energy—I know that mine are! I’ve taken several classes to learn about safety during walks, how to recognize cues before a reactive incident, and how to control a dog if they get out of control. I will always check in with you before taking your pet somewhere and be sure to follow any directions you give me.

“Allie does an amazing job with Charlie, she leaves my house how she found it and I would hire her to care for my little guy anytime”

“Lindsey did a great job of taking care of our kitties. Would recommend her and I would use her again.”

About: I've been an animal lover and owner all my life (dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, horses, goats, pot-belly pigs, etc.) until a few years ago when I lost my last dog. I decided then that I wasn't going to get a new dog or cat, at least for now, and only love on others' pets. I've been pet and housesitting for the last five+ years, am extremely responsible, and have excellent local references. I'm a freelance book editor and formatter working from home (I also build websites), have a flexible schedule, and am able to work from anywhere with good wifi signal that I can have access to. I also work a part-time job in Oldham County that I go to several times a week so pets must be able to stay alone at least 7 hours at a time. Because I primarily work from wherever I'm staying, I cannot stay with high-maintenance pets who require a high amount of attention. I am living in the east end of Louisville (Prospect) area and would love to help you with your pet needs! Non-smoking homes only please! Rates for house and pet sitting are for a 24 hour period, so anything beyond that will be an additional $15.00/hour (or a full-day rate, whichever is less - NOT the extended care rates just added by Rover that they will not let me remove). Please let me know if you have any questions! Since I work a part-time job, the pets must be able to stay at home for at least 7 hours at a time. Other days I work from wherever I'm staying. Each pet and family have various needs so I will discuss particulars with you before the stay to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.

About: I have five years of animal care under my belt. I have worked in dog daycare and boarding which I have always enjoyed! I’ve worked with shelter pets in the past and have handled all ages and sizes of dogs. I am available all week from morning to evening all week, my goal is to make taking care of your furry friends a full time gig and become your favorite most trusted pet sitter! When caring for your pet I will make sure they always have access to clean fresh water, make sure they relieve themselves whether it be letting them out into the yard or going for a trot around the neighborhood, I'd also make sure they would get the attention and love they need while you are running errands, at work or planning a vacation!

“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”

About: i’ve had dogs my entire life boxer, beagles, labs, poodles, i've walked, fed, and bathed them for as long as i can remember, taking care of dogs brings me joy, and i would treat your dog as my own i currently work night shift at ups, so i can’t stay the night or board the dogs but i can come over in the morning and walk or take care of them i also go to the gym everyday and physically fit to take care of them i am very respectful of other peoples houses, and of their pets, i would create a loving and safe environment and i can tend to anything needed

About: I’ve cared for my bulldog at home for many years now and make frequent visits to my grandmothers house to help her take care of her beagles. I have always had a passion to make animals specifically dogs time on earth the best it can be. I know they are incredibly misunderstood and no matter the animal, I have always found a way to get along with the fur baby. On days I don’t work, it would be amazing to get the opportunity to do this as to me it’s not considered a job Make them feel comfortable and let them know that you are there for them. Have patience as each animal is different and requires a unique but understanding approach.

About: Never had my childhood home had less than 5 animals. I've grown up taking care of dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rats, mice, gerbils, bunnies, and turtles-most of those under solely my care. I've always loved caring for my animals and watching them grow. I'm currently not working outside of the home. I am a stay at home mom so I will be available for your animals full time! We have a 3200 sq ft 2 level home with a large unfenced yard. I have one friendly 8 year old female labradoodle, one very sweet, friendly, and energetic 1 year old newfoundland mix, and another very nonchalant 5 year old male cat. I also have a 8 year old son and a 2 year old son who both love and respect animals. Our home is a very comfortable space for any kid friendly animal to enjoy. We feed 2x a day, let them out to potty at least 4x a day-I will leash if necessary.

“Stephanie is amazing. We are so happy we found her to look after our creatures. She did everything we asked and then some. The dogs were so happy in all of the pictures. Seeing them smiling made us feel good about our decision. Can’t say enough good things other than we will definitely contact her again if we need help.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered with local shelters for many years. I am always thrilled when friends and family ask me to help out with their pets because dogs are the real happiness in the world. I have a very flexible schedule so I can offer my services at pretty much any point during the day. I have open availability throughout the week. I have a black lab/Great Pyrenees mix so I definitely love big dogs. My girl loves other dogs and we typically do walks around town at least 3 times per day. I try to keep both myself and my dog in decent shape so we can do as long a walk as she wants to do.

About: Hi! My name is Allie! My life revolves around my two border collies. We are constantly off finding adventures...hiking down new trails, swimming in lakes, herding sheep! Of course, we love an inside, sit on the couch type of day, as well. Whichever kind of day your pet needs, I would love the opportunity to care for them. I attended three years of veterinary technician school and have worked in several hospitals and shelter settings. From all those experiences, I learned how to interact with different personalities and treat medical emergencies. I am now in a different field that allows me to work from home the majority of the time. Therefore, I will be available to spend all day with your pets! I have also had horses my whole life and grew up working on ranches. If you have a hobby farm or other animals that need to be cared for, I am happy to do that as well! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I can't wait to meet you and your furry ones! I work from home most days. If I am called away, then it is for a couple hours at a time. My goal is to never leave your pup alone for more than a couple of hours. In that time, they can either be crated or have full access to our guest room for all their napping needs. :) I have a very large, fully fenced in backyard to play in. I have two border collies that have never met a stranger. Depending on your dogs needs, we will take the proper steps to ensure every one is safe and happy for the entirety of their stay.

“Abbey was so accommodating to watch our cats last minute. And she was great with notes and photos every day. We will want her to come again next time we travel!”

About: I have taken care and had animals in my home for around 19 years now. I absolutely love animals, I love taking care of them and playing with them on a daily basis. I am willing to take care of your pet in every single way possible.:) I work at target part time, so my schedule ranges from 7:30 AM in the morning to around three or four in the afternoon. I’m a big morning person, so I am able to get up earlier than my scheduled shift time and take care of animals. As well, I am able to take care of them after my shifts and even dedicate more of my time to them on my off days. unfortunately, my yard does not have a fence, however, we do have a pretty spacious backyard and I am able to keep an eye on them and play with them all throughout their outside experience.

About: My family loves dogs, and we will take care of your fur babies as they are part of our family. We always go on walks and take our dogs on vacations with us. Dogs are part of the family and should be treated as such. 😊 I work during weekdays, but I'm available to boarding on weekends and weekdays after 4:00 PM. I'm also available to walk your dog in the afternoons. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep company to your fur baby until you get back from your vacation to pick him up.
