House Sitting in Smithfield

“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

“Jillian was amazing with my pups!! She communicated through out the stay and sent pics! She left my house neat and clean. Highly recommend her!!”

About: I have been cat/dog sitting for 3 years now. I have experience taking care of cats. Ive also watched many different types of dogs including large ones. Ive always been a huge animal lover and growing up around dogs always walking and taking care of them, making sure they get the love they deserve. I love doing anything that I can for the animal community Im currently working on online college so im looking to get any side jobs i can in the meantime to try and make some money right now In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and routines to maintain consistency for the pet, and I always respect their space and privacy. I give regular updates to the owner, and I’m prepared to handle emergencies responsibly. I keep their living areas clean, make sure they are fed and have fresh water daily and pay close attention to their health, including administering medication if required. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with patience, affection, and attentive care

“Abby was lovely and took amazing care of our pets. She had great communication and was incredibly easy to work with. We will be using her again.”

“Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.

“Communicative and caring. We have elderly and special needs pets, Janice kept us up to date while staying over and we came home to happy pets ??”

“Ben was great! Showed up on time and my normally skittish to strangers dog felt comfortable within a few minutes. He even sent me photos of them playing frisbee. Would def book again.”

“We reached out to Angie to house sit our two older pups while we were away for a week on a family trip. The dogs have never stayed with anyone outside of family and friends, so we were a little nervous, especially with one of our dogs having some anxiety. Because of this, we were trying to avoid any kennels. Angie was quick to respond to messages leading up to our departure and even offered to come meet the pups twice before our trip. She did not need to do this, but it meant a lot to us that she did. The dogs warmed up to her immediately. Angie is friendly, responsive, and caring. Our house was just as we had left it. She even cared for our small flock of chickens while we were away. We will be reaching out to Angie again and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for help with their pets.”

“Hannah is awesome. Our dogs are a bit high maintenance (dachshunds IYKYK) and she handled them beautifully. One of our dogs is scared of anyone who isn’t me or my wife and by the end of Hannah’s first visit they were buds.”

“Melissa is fantastic!! She took such great care of our two big dogs. The dogs loved her too :) she was very attentive to the needs of the dogs and handled their medication perfectly. She stayed at our place over the holidays and took great care of our home too. If I ever had any questions or was missing the dogs, she made she to respond quickly and would provide more cute pictures of the pups. We would highly recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be rebooking with her again soon!”

About: We have always had multiple dogs in our home, ranging from puppy to senior. We have also adopted a rescue, and so because of that we learned what comes with animals who have had a not so happy past. I work part time as a nurse and so I’m often home with my two littles. I have a fenced in front and back yard. We want your pups to feel comfortable! They are allowed in all areas of our home. If your dog has accidents we understand, but if there are repeated accidents on carpeting there will be a cleaning fee of $150.00 *Meet and Greet Policy* If I travel to you for a meet & greet and you want to book I ask for one night as a deposit (non-refundable). This will go toward your balance or if for any reason you need to cancel, it will go toward a future stay. I am very accommodating and am happy to offer pick up and drop off as well. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.

About: Every dog deserves a safe, loving home while you're away, and I'm here to help! I've been a dog lover my entire life and currently care for two of my own: Bear, my sweet and cuddly 10-year-old black Pomeranian, and Maggie, my energetic and affectionate English Springer Spaniel. I split my time between the Upper East Side and a beautiful 17-acre farm in Upstate New York—truly a dog’s paradise. Whether your pup enjoys romping around our vast yard or relaxing in the peaceful countryside, it's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. I love dogs of all breeds and ages and can't wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. As a dedicated pet owner and caregiver, I prioritize giving each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for my own dogs or a client’s pet, I make sure to schedule regular walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle sessions to keep them happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and trust above all when caring for pets, whether at my home or in my client’s home. In my home, pets have a secure, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to roam, both indoors and outdoors on our 17-acre farm. I closely monitor pets at all times to ensure their safety and well-being, offering regular playtime, walks, and attention to their specific needs. For in-home visits, I take care to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, maintaining consistency with feeding, exercise routines, and any medications. I always ensure that the home is secure during my visits and that pets feel comfortable and relaxed in their own familiar surroundings. Communication with the owner is key, and I provide regular updates to ensure peace of mind.
