Doggy Day Care in Smithfield

“This was an add on daycare since we could not pick our dog up in the morning as scheduled Bonnie was very flexible and helpful to allow us to pick him up that evening.”

Wayne D.

“Very good experience. My pup enjoyed his day, he played, rested, and had fun. I got plenty of updates and pictures of him throughout the day. He had a bad experience at a big dog daycare so this was very helpful to me. He loved being around the other dogs and was worn out when we got home so I didn’t need to walk him. A lot of energy saved for me on a busy day. I would 100% recommend.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am comfortable with all breeds.I work from home full time and have the flexibility for frequent bathroom breaks as needed. I have a small fenced area for ouside time and enjoy walks through the neighborhood when the weather allows. I work from home so I am able to provide care throughout the day without the worry of your pet being left alone for an extended period. On the occasions where I have to leave, pets are free to roam the house or can be crated at the owners request based off the pets comfort level and behavior when left alone. My work schedule allows for flexible breaks for pet care. I have a large back yard and live on a quiet street perfect for walks. I am also able to provide drop in visits throughout the day if caring for the animals in your home.

“Thanks Ramely! I can tell Leela enjoyed you and your family during her two days there!”

About: **For first time Rover users please use the link to save $10 on your first booking--https://www.rover.com/sit/jamiec4867 or promo code jamiec4867 I absolutely love animals. I have been in love with animals since I was a child. I love coming home to my fur baby every day. That is the true picture of unconditional love and the welcoming love is amazing. Lexi and I would like to invite your fur babies to come stay with us. Lexi will keep your fur baby occupied. I will also monitor them closely and make sure the fur babies get alone. Lexi is a boxer/pit mix that loves to play and hasn't met a dog she did not like yet. She will be an awesome companion for your fur baby while you are away. We will go on walks around my subdivision, play games of tug of war, fetch, and burn those calories. Your dog won't have to dwell on you being away with me and Lexi around. They will be happy and well engaged. I am currently working from home so I will be with your pet all day. They will get a fenced in backyard to run around and play as often as they would like. I will be home with your pet except for short outings to the grocery store or such. I will have a watchful eye. I have plenty of dog toys to keep your pup entertained as well as a fenced in backyard for them to explore and roam freely. I will also make sure your pet feels loved while you are away.

About: With over 30 years of experience in dog ownership and care, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and well-being. Throughout the years, I've cared for various breeds, each with unique personalities and requirements, which has equipped me with the skills to handle different temperaments and situations. My commitment to providing loving and attentive care ensures that each dog feels safe and valued in my environment. In addition to basic care like feeding, grooming, and exercise, I've also been actively involved in training and socializing dogs, helping them develop good manners and confidence. This hands-on experience has not only enriched my life but has also fostered a genuine passion for helping dogs thrive. I live alone and work from home with my best friend Ollie, a 3 1/2 year old terrier/lab mix. Ollie loves other dogs and is a great companion for any dog that likes to play. chase, and sniff the world! I'm new in the Rover scene, but trust me, your dog will be well cared for and have a wonderful time! I work from home full-time so I am always here. Dogs are allowed to relax wherever they prefer in my home and my goal is for them to be as comfortable in my home, as they are in theirs. I have an enormous fenced in yard great for sniffing, exploring, and zooming! My buddy Ollie will be happy to show you around the yard and chase your pup whenever he or she wants!

Whether your dog needs structured care, room to run, or a calm, loving environment, we’re here to offer all of that, and more! 🐶 What Makes Us Different: Home-based, never facility-like. Your dog stays in our peaceful home or in a private, spacious, air-conditioned indoor kennel- you choose what’s best for them.

Doggie door access- easy in/out access between their kennel and the yard for outdoor time whenever they want it. Inside time with our pack– guest pups are welcome in the house to relax and socialize with our four sweet rescue dogs. Always supervised– Brandon works from home full-time and Stacy only works part-time, so your dog will never be left alone for long. Years of experience- we’ve fostered dozens of puppies and dogs for two local rescue organizations, we have been dogsitting for years, and have experience with puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs. This isn’t just a side gig for us, it’s something we’ve built with purpose. We recently moved into this home specifically to improve Safe Haven Puppy Inn, choosing a property with a huge, beautiful fenced yard and enough space to give dogs the calm, enriching environment they truly deserve. Every part of this space, including the private air conditioned garage, was chosen with your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness in mind. ✨ Add-On Services (with Overnight Stay or Doggie Daycare) Bathing – $15 Nail Trim – $15 Bath + Nail Trim – $25 🚗 Pick-Up & Drop-Off Need help with transport?

“Anna was amazing! Took really good care of our boy and he cannot wait to have another play date ?”

“Sarai is AMAZING! My frenchie and I absolutely adore her. She was responsive from the start and has been flexible with our schedule. Above all, she truly cares and goes the extra mile to make sure my Bogey is safe and has fun. We have been trying out various day cares since we moved to the area a while back. We left behind a sitter / day care that set a very high bar and feared we wouldn’t find anything like that again. Sarai welcomed us with open arms and Bogey is finally excited about day care again! She sends updates and pictures throughout the day- playtime, nap time, snuggles, all of it (her IG posts @pawsofclayton make my day!). At no point am I concerned he’s left alone, not getting attention, etc when I drop him off at Sarai’s in the morning. So grateful for everything she does for Bogey!”

About: I grew up around horses, dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs. I love animals and getting an opportunity to spend time with them and take care of them. Growing up, I also got to watch my sister who was in law enforcement do some K-9 training and help with her breeding business. I recently moved back home to NC post military- I started working Rover Jan. 23’ during unemployment and I loved it and want to continue as a side job! I am offering to pet sit over night if needed, provide potty breaks and walks for clients, and feeding services, etc. as requested by the client. Any additional information please do not hesitate to ask :)

“Kaitlyn was fantastic to my two dogs Captain and Holly. Her dog Cooper was a phenomenal friend to them. Kaitlyn was quick to respond and very flexible, and always kept me in the loop during the stay. Would 10/10 recommend your pets to stay with Kaitlyn.”

“Hannah & Patrick were great with our pups. We did a meet & greet the week before so our dogs could meet on a nice walk. They have a nice sized yard for the dogs to play outside & took them on lots of walks! They only spent the day with them but they got lots of love, exercise & I got a lot of pics! Can’t wait for Lily& Ellie to visit again”
