Dog Sitting Smithfield

About: I Have lots of animal experience including caring for horses, chickens, goats, dogs and cats. I have work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and had to care for 40+ dogs I’ve had to prepare meals and medication I’ve also worked on several horse farms and care for several large animals. I do currently work a full-time job 8 to 5 but I do have animals of my own so I do know how to work around my schedule I’m able to housesit any day of the week as long as you’re okay with me having to work during the day and during the weekends I am completely free. I would care for your pet in the way you like if you have a high energy dog with care go for run or hikes etc. but if you dog just needs a friend to keep them company or go for walks I can do that too. I can also bathe and groom your dog as well but no hair cut.

About: I’ve personally had several types of dogs in the past including labs, pit bulls, and a cocker spaniel. No pet is too big or too small for me! I have a very open schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time for walks, games, feeding, and belly rubs. I can stay for long home visits as well as do quick drop bys. I have plenty of experience with crating dogs at night, and being punctual at breakfast time to let animals outside for potty breaks. If any pet is on a strict feeding or medicine schedule, I can absolutely adhere to needs.

About: I have had dog pets most of my life. My fur baby recently passed and I would rather love others than get another. Pets are the treasures of the planet! I'm currently working full-time and looking for something to fill my spare time. No better way then to spend it with pets. I am available all days with flexible times. My home is on a large piece of property and has fences from bordering properties, but is not fully enclosed. However, no pets will be outside unsupervised. In order to keep your pets safe I would leash walk them.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. First time Rover user and Nicole made it so easy. I am so thankful you were able to come to my home and take care of my furr baby. You made such a stressful time so easy for me. I appreciate the fast responses and updates. ?”

“Kendric and Jana were awesome. They were very flexible and worked with me on my last-minute changes to the schedule. They were kind and compassionate with my 15 year-old cat just recently diagnosed with an overactive thyroid which required medication. I had tremble administering the pills, and was frustrated by the process and so was Lucy, but Kendric calmly mixed the pills into her food and down they went. What a relief to me. They definitely have my recommendation.”

About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter with over five years of experience. My experience includes working with puppies, kittens, and senior fur babies. I am a retired nurse and have experience giving dogs their medicine. Moreover, I have experience with dealing with seizures, congestive heart failure and joint pain in fur babies which helps ensure safe care. Providing a safe, calm and loving environment is a priority while caring for your furbaby. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have time to provide one on one personal care for your fur baby. Would love the opportunity to do a meet and greet to review further availability. I have a fenced in yard for zoomies, fetch and reliving themselves. Our community has sidewalks for safe walking exercise too. I have two small dogs ( one senior & one puppy) and two senior cats to keep your Furbaby company. I have a crate if needed or gates if a need arises to ensure safety. However, your Furbaby will have free roam of the house if no safety concerns.

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that pets are part of the family. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them for walks, playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication reminders, and plenty of love and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so both you and your pet can feel comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I’m available for pet care on Saturdays and Sundays, when I have the most flexibility to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m unavailable Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM due to my regular work schedule. Weekends allow me to provide dependable and attentive care while keeping your pet’s routine comfortable and consistent. I have a spacious, unfenced backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and plenty of room to stretch and play. For safety, I always supervise pets outdoors and use a leash or other appropriate restraint when needed. Inside my home, I provide a comfortable, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles.

About: I’ve worked with animals ever since I was 15. I would take care of my neighbors, friends, and clients dogs or cats. Use to work at an animal hospital and also a boarding/daycare facility. I learned from working there how to administer medications. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule therefore providing lots of options for you and your furry family members! I have always had a deep passion for animals! I have a dog and a cat at home that I adore. Both my babies are rescue pets. I enjoy working with both my dog and my cat on training them to do new things.

About: Have had pets since I was a child. Always dogs, sometimes cats, reptiles, rodents, or fish... often combinations of more than one of the above I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to give your pets as much attention as they want. Can also take entire days of from work to focus on pets as needed. Our yard in a quiet neighborhood is not fenced, but we can & will take as many leashed walks as needed. In the house, we have a laid-back pug and an aloof cat who likes to hide in the bedroom (she has a lock that lets her in while keeping dogs out) when strangers are about.

“Followed directions for the pets and communicated through the app for our crew for a couple of drop-in visits. Received a photo and a short message at each visit. We'll call on her again when needed!”

About: I previously provided pet care on Rover and took some time away. I’m now back and excited to welcome new clients! I’m committed to reliable, attentive care and keeping you updated every step of the way. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m often the “aunt” to my friends’ dogs, and I treat every pup with that same level of affection, patience, and attention. My priority is making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and needs—whether they’re an energetic puppy or a more relaxed senior. While I don’t offer formal training, I’m patient and consistent with reinforcing positive behavior and providing gentle, attentive care. My goal is always to create a calm, loving environment you can feel confident leaving your dog in. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening visits. I work a 9-5, but I'm available before and after work, as well as full availability on my days off. I'm committed to making time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and rest time. Safety and trust are my top priorities—I monitor pets closely, ensure secure surroundings, and treat every pet like family.

“Phyllis was phenomenal with our anxious little guy. He doesn't warm up to just anybody and she got him to start showing his loving self even in the meet and greet. While we were out for the weekend she stopped by as scheduled - except for one day when she decided to come a little early because it was going to thunderstorm and she wanted to make sure he had solid outside time. So thoughtful and professional! She gave us great pics of our pup having a great time and thoughtful notes on each interaction, including any changes to the plan like with the thunderstorm. It's such a relief to know Barbecue is in good hands while we are gone and Phyllis helped us feel that way from the first drop-in until the last. We definitely hope to work with her again and would highly recommend her for others!”

About: Animals have been a passion of mine since I was a young child. I enjoy when I can interact with cats, dogs, and when a pet's natural personality comes out. Because I currently do not own any pets personally, I am honored to be able to watch your fur babies. I am trustworthy, dedicated, and happy to take your requests. I have references from members in the local community that can assure you of my genuine nature and ability to meet household and pet requests professionally. Despite being new to Rover, I am not new to pet sitting or housesitting. In my spare time, you can find me volunteering in the community projects that impact important causes, such as youth development and coordinating help for the homeless. Because I currently do freelancing, my schedule can be more open. I can usually accommodate routines similar to homeowners. I'm happy to have a conversation to make sure it is a mutual fit. I would only pet sit in a client's home because I live in an apartment that does not allow pets. I am seeking requests that desire a house sitter, walker, and drop-in requests.

About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.

“Kristina was excellent with our pups!! She communicated very well with us throughout the entire 5 day drop-ins and she sent plenty of pictures! She was very patient with our dogs and followed all of our instructions. She went above and beyond at some points to make sure our pups were comfortable. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her services to anyone who needs her to take care of their fur babies!!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Stephanie is STELLAR! She’s was kind and loving to both of my animals, punctual, consistent, and she provided a huge amount of stress relief for me because I knew the person who was entering my home and taking care of my animals was trustworthy, safe, and had their best interests at heart. 10/10!”
