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.

“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!”

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 come from a family of pet lovers (dog lovers to be specific, but I don't discriminate). Dogs have been members of my family since I was a wee lass. As of now, I take care of my tiny 4-pound chihuahua who loves to sit in the sunny spots outside or bark at intruders from the safety of the couch. I like to volunteer at the local Hotel for Homeless Dogs but at the end of the day a girl's gotta eat, so here I am! I am willing to care for your pet at any time, any day of the week. I have complete availability to hang out with your pet and tend to their needs.🐾 My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood in suburban Lincoln. The house is pet-friendly, complete with a large fenced backyard with lots of space to run in the grass! I live right on the Blackstone River Bikeway which provides easy access to scenic walks along the canal if you allow me to care for your pet at my address. If you provide me the opportunity to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home, I will request a complete rundown of all their needs including the spaces they are allowed to roam and places that are off limits. I'll also provide constant text and photo updates to ease your mind while you're away.

“Holly was wonderful with Tank! We had absolutely no concerns while we were away and loved the updates and pictures! We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Samantha sis an amazing job taking care of our two cats and our 9 year old retriever! She was so attentive and professional. She sent photos daily and it was clear that all 3 pets were having a blast with her during her visits! I highly recommend her and hope that she will be available to come back and pet sit for us again!”

“Tatiana was great with our German shepherd and my family’s border collie. She sent pictures every day during our 9 day vacation. Not only that, but she took our dogs last minute when another sitter fell through. She arrived in less than 12 hours for a meet & greet. She also stayed an extra few hours when our flight got delayed the last day. Thanks again! We will be recommending her to everyone!”

About: Growing up I always had a dog or two. I had worked at a dog daycare facility professionally for 8 years. During my time there, I've taken care of various puppies to their adulthood and senior dogs. Since the facility is cage-free, I dedicate myself to ensuring the dogs have fun, are safe, and love in our care. Currently, I have two medium and large dogs who constantly love to play, whether it is water play in the backyard, going on walks, frisbee or just relaxing in our backyard! I'm currently a nursing student on and a part time barista. I only work part-time for a few hours a day, usually morning until noon time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout their stay. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My two dogs are very friendly and social with other dogs. I have a two-level yard, a six-foot fence all around the yard, and a door your pups can easily access to potty or play. I can also provide in-house food unless your pups have allergies and need to improvise. My house is cage free but if you’d like your pet to be crate I can improvise that.

About: I have over 4 years of experience caring for dogs all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked in a dog daycare environment, including experience as a supervisor, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and handling different needs and temperaments. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I treat every pet like family and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working as a nanny and will also be returning to college, but I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: * 🐾 Tuesdays after 9:30 AM * 🐾 Wednesdays — All day * 🐾 Other availability may be available depending on my schedule Pet Sitting: * 🏡 Available Monday–Sunday I’m happy to work with your schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! 🐶🐱 During the visit For dogs: * Feed and refresh water. * Take them outside for potty breaks/walks. * Give them playtime and attention. * Clean up any accidents. * Make sure they are safely inside before leaving.

About: What really sets me apart is that I'm outgoing and know how to deal with dogs. I absolutely love dogs and I treat them with care. I have a puppy of my own that I love and go for walks, play, and take care of. I've helped out neighbors' dog while they were away. I've interacted with their 7 year old Yorkie dog, went out for walks and fed her. I'm currently a Bachelor's Degree graduate working full time remotely and I'm looking to help out on weekends and sometimes during the week to sit with your loving pet. I'd love to help for a few hours! I currently have puppy poodle at home. At home, I let my puppy out on the backyard with closed driveway gate, we like to play ball and run around. Then I let her play on her own, she loves sticks. When we come home, I give Lexi water and then let her relax. I make sure the house is clean so she doesn't pick anything up. In the evening, she has dinner and I cuddle with her.

About: I've had a dog in my life for the major majority of it. I've had 2 Shitzus, a German Shephard and an Akita. Quite the range. I traveled across the country with an Akita and that was such a great experience. I am very patient by nature and will care for you furry friend and give them all my attention and love. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. There are 3, sometimes 4 days a week where I’d be away for 6-7 hours. I like to be as transparent on everything. I’m not concerned about the dog having an accident in the house, it’s more of making sure they won’t be overly stressed out or anxious at that amount of time. I have a very secure fenced in yard that your pet will enjoy. There is a park directly across the street as well and I will also walk your dog around the Elmhurst neighborhood. I have a modest sized home with hardwood floors. Your pup is allowed on the furniture if its ok with you. A tired dog is a happy dog and I plan to play with your dog inside and outside the home. Your dog(s) or cat(s) will be my top priority. Other than work a few days a week which is stated above I’d be spending plenty of time playing and relaxing with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and live in a safe neighborhood. I have outdoor camera security system as well. I will take great care of your pet.

About: I've cared for animals my whole life, including those with medical needs or on specialized diets. I'm used to the dirty work and want your pet to feel extra cared of! I'm used to friendly pets or those who need more space. I can handle it all and will communicate all updates to you quickly. I have early and evening availability until mid-August and then open availability. I'm happy to do early early mornings or later nights, and have a vehicle so can get wherever you need. I've been a house-sitter for years and respect your space immensely! I'm a trusted caregiver in my day-job (all my jobs have required background and CORI checks) and I communicate any and all changes, so you never feel left out of the loop.

“We are so happy to have found great local assistance for our cats while away on vacation! It was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Carley was super communicative from the start, and proactive in arranging our meet and greet well ahead of our booking. After meeting her and seeing how easily the cats took to her, we felt confident in entrusting her with daily feedings, litter box cleanings, and general visit & play time. She has a lovely vibe and our cats were right at home with her. She’s very organized and accessible, takes notes and keeps specific details and needs of her bookings via spreadsheet. She’s consistent and thorough with the timing of her visits and reports. She gave them plenty of attention, treats, catnip, and provided the daily dose of socialization that I’m certain the cats appreciated very much! They were their typical friendly and contented selves when we got back, and I’m sure they look forward to seeing Carley again before too long. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and treasure the sweet card she left us upon our return. Carley went above and beyond! The hardest part of travel is being away from our cats and the peace of mind of knowing they are well looked after by someone nearby, trustworthy and reliable is priceless to us. We look forward to booking Carley again for our upcoming trips! Carley—Thank you so much for taking such great care of Nino and Teddy, and all the other pets you take time for! :)”
