House Sitting in Smithfield

“Amber does a fantastic job watching Archie. She is punctual, communicates well, and has very good intuition about what is best for him. The weather has been very hot and she has appropriately gotten him time outside when able, then made him come inside before he gets too warm. I highly recommend booking her!”

About: Hi! I’m a 30-year-old nurse and proud beagle mom to my sweet 5-year-old girl. As someone who works long shifts in healthcare, I truly understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets when life gets busy. That’s why I’m offering drop-in visits for pets in the nearby area, helping give fellow pet parents peace of mind. My schedule can vary, so I kindly ask for 1–2 weeks’ notice to coordinate visits around my work shifts. I’m also open to overnight house sitting depending on availability—we can chat to see what works best! On my days off, I love getting outside and would be happy to take your pup for a walk on a nearby trail—possibly even alongside my own friendly beagle, if you’re comfortable with that. She’s great with other dogs and would love the company! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help care for them like one of my own. my schedule changes weekly, so my availability is variable. I’m primarily available for drop-in visits close to home on my days off, and I kindly ask for 1 to 2 weeks’ advance notice whenever possible to help me plan ahead. I’m open to overnight stays after building trust and familiarity with clients, but those will depend on my work schedule. I also occasionally travel, so consistent communication is appreciated for long term planning. I do not provide in-home boarding or care at my own home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s needs.

“Abby was amazing and I will definitely ask her again in the future. I received regular photos and updates and came home to a spotless house. Seeing my normally skeptical cat getting more and more comfortable and relaxed in the photos I could see he was having a great time with Abby.”

About: From Rottweiler to Boston Terriers, I grew up and have experience with dogs both large and small. I absolutely LOVE being outside (maybe as much as your doggy!) and would enjoy going on a hike together! Nurture in nature. Get out and play, and enjoy the day! I know lots of trails and spots your companion would love! Or we can chill at my house, I've got a fenced in yard and a super comfy couch (come on, let's watch a movie together)! Or maybe your pooch is a homebody? We can hang out on your couch too! Upfront and honest, I have very little experience with cats. I can give food and water. As for creepy crawly reptiles and amphibians, sorry.. I'm not the right fit for ya! I've got years of canine experience and basic common sense. I strive provide to worry-free care. Your best friend deserves a great day to relax and enjoy. My goal is to create a trust and bond between myself, pet, and owner. Over time, being a reliable friend to call in a time of need. I bake doggie treats, and I like to share. Each new client will receive a FREE bag of homemade treats! I am pretty flexible. I am a stay at home mom/freelance writer/independent delivery driver. My son may have to accompany on some trips, but for the most part, I'm available 24/7. I've got a medium sized fenced in yard. Two sweet little boston terriers who love to play BALL! I live on a quiet dead end street, very safe for dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since we got her 8 years ago. I’ve pet sat for many friends with dogs as small as miniature poodles to as big as labs. I can currently dog walk or pet sit anytime during week days. I am available during weekends for walking or pet sitting but overnight sitting needs to be scheduled in advance. :) I can do anything a client needs me to do in their home. This includes letting the pets outside, feeding them, playing with them, cleaning, etc. I do not offer to care for pets in my own home.

“Ashley was awesome! She did a meet and greet and took plenty of notes. She was very communicative during our trip and sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets! We will definitely rebook her!”

“Synene was wonderful with my pup. She sent plenty of photos every day and let me know how things were going. It made me feel very comfortable that he was in good hands. She even went above and beyond by giving him a bath!! I will definitely ask for her again in the future.”

Julie L.

“Awesome even went on an extended walk, and when I got stuck for longer than expected she had no problem staying longer. Thanks so much.”

Nolan H.

“Alyssa is an exceptional dog sitter and exceeded my expectations. My German Shepherd, Ava, is highly independent and energetic with borderline diva tendencies. Alyssa had my girl for a week while I was hiking in the Black Hills. From her pics and communication, I could see that Ava was in good hands. Alyssa treated my Ava and my home as if it was her own—I’m so glad I found her! I will continue to use Alyssa and recommend her highly.”

“Adeline was absolutely amazing with my two pups! Had a very last minute booking and she not only was willing to accommodate my needs but went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for, comfortable, and happy. She also gave great updates throughout the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough for any pet needs. Thank you again!!!”

“Nicolas is very nice. He did a good job with my dogs, even though one gave him some trouble. He hung in there and the dogs look good. The house looks good and I am well pleased with him.”

About: I have always loved interacting with animals, they are a joy to be around. Pet sitting has always been a fun opportunity for me to earn income since middle school, and now that I am embarking on my law school journey, I hope to continue that trend. I am comfortable assisting dogs and cats of any age. I’m dedicated to your pets comfort & happiness, and will treat your pet how I would hope you would treat mine, like family! I have been employed as a full-time nanny in the cheat lake area for the past three years. I will be starting law school at wvu this August! During the week, I will not be confined to a classroom all day, and will be sure to communicate my availability when you reach out with your pets needs. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard. Your pet will also have free range of our finished basement. Pictures of the space available upon request! While your animal will not be confined to a crate in our home, we do prefer that they are house and crate trained.

“I knew from the moment I met Kim that my Chewy was going to be in good hands and well taken care of. She is so sweet and patient when he was getting to know her. She sent pictures and sent daily updates while I was away! Chewy was happy when I returned. I will definitely rebook with Kim for future trips!”

Pamela R.

“Sydney did a great job taking care of our pets and house. We came home to a clean, neat house and happy pets. I would definitely have her again!”

Sandy G.

“Abby was amazing! She spent 4 days/nights with my pup in our home and I had zero concerns. Would definitely have her back!!”

Meredith H.

“THE BEST! She took such good care of my 2 cats. She sent a lot of pictures and even checked in the day after to make sure I got home safe from my trip. I will 100% ask her to watch my cats whenever I go out of town :)”

Peyton B.

“Very communicative and did everything perfectly!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have watched over more dogs than can count. I also have three dogs of my own at home and one dog I take care of full time I am a full time college student and can be gone for a few hours for classes during the day, but I am home often other than school and the gym, so I am able to provide adequate attention for your fur baby! I currently don’t have a roommate, so it is just my fur baby Oreo, a 6 year old Boston Terrier, and myself! Occasionally we have guests stay over.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience volunteering at dog shelters and walking dogs! I am a big animal lover but can’t have animals at my apartment! I’m currently not working so I am available 24/7. I am available weekdays/weekends as well as morning and evenings. I am very flexible to any schedule!:) I don’t have a fence! I am not looking to pet sit because I am not allowed to have animals at my apartment! So I would love to walk your animals :)

About: I have experience in working with animals in boarding and work as a veterinary assistant. I am trained in animal restraint, administering medications, and reading body language.
