Dog Sitting Smithfield

About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.

About: Hi my name is Neriah and I'm a second year college student at CCRI. I've had dogs ever since I was 6. I currently have one dog named Apollo. I also have 3 cats. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for a family friend who has three dogs. During that time, I was responsible for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure they felt comfortable and safe while their owner was away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make it a priority to follow owners' instructions carefully. I am dependable, patient, and committed to providing pets with the attention, care, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys active playtime or simply needs companionship, I will treat them as if they were my own. Experience Includes: Daily feeding and fresh water Walks and exercise Potty breaks Playtime and companionship Caring for multiple pets at once Following specific schedules and routines Monitoring pets for safety and well-being Providing updates to owners I currently work part-time Friday through Monday, which gives me plenty of availability during the week to care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day on weekdays. On workdays, I can stop by before my shift in the morning and again after work in the evening to make sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable. I am committed to following your pet's routine and providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the care instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special requirements. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and appropriate exercise and playtime. I also keep doors and gates secure and monitor pets closely during walks and outdoor time. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup who loves long walks and playtime, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or making sure independent cats feel comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so your pets feel happy and at home while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly work in the afternoon and evenings so my mornings are mostly free. I am happy to pop by after work to check in and take care of your animals I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide consistent, personalized care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and bedtime while making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I always make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, enrichment through play and mental stimulation, and a cozy place to relax. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and treated like part of the family.

“Nicole was great! She took good care of my senior cat. She showed up when she said she would and I didn't have to worry about anything. I'd definitely book with her again!”

“I highly recommend Heath! They have checked in on my cat, Sheldon, a few times now and they are always reliable and take good care of him while I am away.”

“This review is long overdue! I have been using Marissa for about a year now give or take for twice weekly drop ins. I have a senior diabetic pomeranian and a 3 year old highly energetic Border Collie and both of my dogs seem to love Marissa! We always get pictures of our smiling pups and it is clear they have a good time during the visit. Marissa is not only great with our dogs, but she is reliable, trustworthy, and will go the extra mile to accommodate bookings. We never come home to any accidents, and she is always kind enough to bring our packages in front the porch. This holiday season she surprised us with a goodie bag with some things for our dogs AND us! It just goes to show how thoughtful and caring she is. I would absolutely recommend booking with Marissa!”

“Ellie was phenomenal with my cat Nami, taking time to play with her and pet her when she dropped in to care for her. It was my first time leaving Nami for a long trip but having Ellie send daily pictures really alleviated my anxiety. I definitely plan on hiring her again.”

About: Growing up, my family owned an amazing, but traumatized dog that tended to be aggressive towards strangers. Now, I help care for two very timid, anxious dogs so I understand and can manage dogs of all sorts of temperaments. Old dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I am currently working around 15 hours a week serving, so my schedule is very open! I have no trouble traveling daily and I love to be actve regardless of rain, sleet, snow, or heat! First of all, I prioritize giving all dogs and cats the attention they need, nothing breaks my heart like a lonely pet. Depending on the household, I will manage toy organization and uphold routines in place while you are on vacation or at worn. From medication to routine freeding and walking, I am an experienced pooper scooper willing to get the job done!

About: I’m an experienced rescue pet owner who’s fostered both cats and dogs, including my own behaviorally challenged dog. I grew up caring for a senior dog with medical needs, so I understand the importance of patience, attention to detail, and compassion. Through my rescue work, I’ve provided both cat and dog sitting and am excited to offer that same loving care to more pets and families! Pet care best fits into my daily schedule during lunch breaks and anytime after 4 PM! I can be flexible as well depending on the time slots needed and my class schedule. Safety is always my main priority. Through my experience working with flight-risk fosters and animals with a variety of behavioral and medical needs, I’ve learned how to create secure environments for every pet in my care. I’m attentive to details, careful with routines, and always mindful of each animal’s comfort and safety

“Miranda has been wonderful with drop in visits for my dog. She is easy to work with, great communication, reliable, and clearly enjoys her work and spending time with animals.”

I will always make sure to watch your dog to the best of my ability ensuring they are both physically and mentally in the best hands

About: I've taken care of my dog for 10 years with the rest of my family. As well as taking dog sitting for other pets, have done overnight and just check ups. Very flexible, can walk or look after your pet almost every day of the week this summer. Can also do almost any hour of the day. I can't keep pets at my current apartment. But if I did I would make sure they have enough bathroom breaks throughout the day and are well fed and hydrated! I would make sure your dog is always accounted for and I am ready for anything!

About: I've taken care of my own family's dogs since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their pets.

I am unavailable Mondays and Thursdays. As a walker I am comfortable applying harnesses/collars and leashes. I can walk as little or as long as you and your dog would like!

“Amy and Scott provided outstanding care for my feline friend! Their dedication to ensuring my cat's well-being was evident during every visit. They spent quality time engaging in play and provided much-needed companionship. Their reliability and attention to detail gave me peace of mind while away. The daily updates and adorable photos they sent me were an added bonus – reinforcing their genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Amy and Scott as trustworthy and caring cat/pet sitters. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine passion for animals make them the perfect choice for any pet parent.”

About: Hi, I'm Nikki! I'm new to Rover but I've helped care for animals for many years. I've worked for a dog walking company and it was one of the best jobs I've had in my life. Being out, exploring, and getting exercise was fun for both me and the dogs on my route. I'd give reports and take photos of all our outings. From there, I worked at an animal hospital assisting vet techs and doctors by walking, feeding and holding the animals for their treatments. I learned so much, especially about having patience and compassion for animals that are sick and scared. I gained a lot of knowledge about safe animal handling and body language. I've also completed Fear Free training! I have adopted a pretty quirky Beagle/Boston terrier mix about 10 yrs ago and he's kept me busy ever since. He's very smart and active. A lot of understanding and keeping him busy have helped him come such a long way. It's been so rewarding to see! Are you looking to get your pets out and about while you're at work? I'm available weekdays from the morning until early evening. I'm available for a Saturday morning stroll as well! I would care for your pet as you request. Whether it be a neighborhood walk, a fenced in yard, or a path nearby, I look forward to doing what your pet enjoys! I always have safety in mind, so your pet would always be under supervision and leashed in my care.

“Jess is literally the best sitter ever! We have went through countless people and she’s the only one who I have truly felt has cared about my pup as much as I do! She’s amazing with Winnie ( my pup)! She’s flexible, accountable, and always messages updates and timely notice when she cannot come so I can figure out other plans. My dog is probably more excited to see her than me some days, would highly recommend her if she has opening!”
