Dog Sitting Smithfield

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up with my first dog, a Pit Bull and Chocolate Lab mix, who was with me from birth until I was 16. I helped care for her throughout her life and developed a really special bond with her. I also have a new dog who is mostly Pit Bull, and I take care of him regularly. I’ve also cared for friends dogs and currently walk a Golden Retriever multiple times a week throughout the summer. I’m comfortable with different personalities and love building a genuine connection with every dog I meet. I’m currently a student but have a pretty flexible schedule where I have much free time during the week and full availability on the weekends. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’m very attentive and make sure pets get the care, attention and love they need. I also treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want for my own.

“Brittany took wonderful care of our big Choco lab, Hopey! She can be barky on walks (gentle giant), but Brittany always takes great care of her. Lots of play and cuddles too! Thanks, Brittany!”

“Grace is amazing. She has gotten along great with out reactive cattle dog mix. She has been able to accommodate our ever changing schedule almost 100%. Extremely personal and would recommend to anyone.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Shannon was wonderful with my dogs and treated them with so much care, patience, and love. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. Communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be using them again!”

“It was the first time we called on Stuart to walk Clare, not just once, but twice in a day, and we’re glad we did. Stuart was conscientious from the start, offering to stop by the day before we needed him to meet us and Clare. We highly recommend him!”

About: Hi! I'm Rachel. I have been obsessed with dogs since I can remember! My first word was "doggy-oggy-oggy!" I have been dog walking and dog sitting for over 10 years and absolutely love helping other pet owners when they need it! I have worked with dogs of every age range, including senior to puppy. Right now I am looking to primarily dog walk to get more steps in and spend more time with pups! I can also do drop ins for those that need it. Thank you! I have a dog myself (he is more of a miniature horse) at 96 pounds! He is my best friend! I walk him twice a day, and would love to help out as many other dog parents who need walks for their dogs as well! I have a fenced in yard, if there is ever a need to bring your pet to my house and I have 2 crates as well. Ensuring a safe environment for your pup is my top priority.

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life, I've raised puppies and kittens and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty! I also work for All Tails R Wagging in Foxboro MA, and Furry Fellas here in Providence doing dog walking and petsitting! I am quite experienced in pet care for many different animals including reptiles, birds, and rodents. I also have pet CPR/First Aid training and can handle senior care, med management, and more. I have my regular dog walking job throughout the week in bursts, but other than that you can find my schedule extremely flexible for weekends, holidays, and more. I am not a good fit for 24/7 constant care as I leave and drop in several times a day. I can provide up to 4 drop ins daily plus overnights. I am very sensitive to each individual pet's needs including medical conditions requiring medication, and other conditions like separation anxiety. If you have a highly energetic one, I will be out in the yard playing often, or walking them for a long time. For cats, they can get the space they sometimes want, or they can cuddle up on me for hours. I have cleaned up a myriad of messes quite successfully as well, haha.

“Olivia has been great with our 3 GSDs! One of the dogs isn’t the friendliest at first but quickly warmed up. Glad we found someone like her!”

About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and have been around many other breeds over the years. I also participated in 4-H for a couple of years, where I helped train our second family dog. I genuinely love spending time with animals and would be happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’m available mostly on weekdays, with some weekend availability depending on the amount of notice I receive. I’ve had cats in my own home for the past four years and also have experience caring for family members’ cats. I have reliable transportation, so you can count on me to get to and from your home safely and on time. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am Available Monday-Friday as of now as I am currently job hunting for a new job. Please reach out with at least 5 day notice for house sitting I would love to help keep your furry friend company either just by going for a quick walk or having a play session or even just giving them some pats and cuddles

“Gena is amazing. She has been extremely reliable both times I was in need of drop-ins for my two cats. The most recent being extremely short notice, I was able to count on her and she was flexible. As I plan future trips, she will always be my first contact because I know Larry & Louis are cared for well. For anyone looking to book requests, scroll no longer. Gena has set the bar pretty high. Thankful to have found her on here!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from about 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, family; I’ve been trusted to care for their furry family members for a while. Having my own dog and being surrounded by many furry friends, I have much experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule that varies throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate owners’ needs whenever possible. I prioritize communication and reliability, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I will follow all instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a calm, positive, and trustworthy experience for both pets and their owners. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals! These animals include dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, rodents, etc. I strive to make your animal as comfortable, happy, and content as possible while you're away! Animals welfare is my #1 When i'm not working at my part time job, i'm always caring for an animal in some way. Whether it be taking care of my own horse, caring for my guinea pigs, playing with my cats, or caring for the other horses at my barn. Animals have tremendously helped my mental health, and I strive to give pets and their parents the best experience with no stress. For caring for these pets, I pay attention to what the pet wants and needs. I work around my care routine to fit what the pet prefers, and make everything as comfortable as possible for them.

“Shawn was great, making drop in visits for our two cats over several days. We came home to everything spotlessly clean, feeding dishes washed and litter boxes scooped. She communicated well and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet. I highly recommend Shawn!”

Nancy M.

“Very communicative I feel like Rosie was well taken care of 🩷 Will continue to have Julia watch our pup”

Alexandra R.

“Maricela was great with Hootie! She communicated with me when she was coming and going and in the end I came back to a happy, healthy dog. Will definitely book her again if I need help watching him.”

About: I have spent my life with dogs and cats, caring for and raising them, and loved every minute. I would love to run with your dog or lounge with your cat! I will be working 8-5 every week day, but would happily walk or play with your pets any time around that. I am also available weekends. I will not be able to have pets in my home, but I will happily visit yours! I will keep them in your yard if you wish, and always use a lease. Whatever is best!
