Dog Walking in Smithfield

“Marie and her husband were wonderful! Great communication throughout. My dog is 84 pounds and young so he does pull on walks at the beginning. They handled him amazingly. Got him some exercise when I cant right now. Even recharged his night light. I would absolutely book Marie again”

About: I have been volunteering with animal rescues since I was in high school along with dogwalking in my hometown. I have spent the past three years in college volunteering with the local animal shelter walking their dogs to relieve them of time in the shelter. On these walks I take the time to work on basic skills and socialization. I am completing my MBA this summer, and would love to help you out with any of your pet care needs! I am finishing up my MBA at Bryant University leaving me with an open availability days outside of my classes which are Mondays and Wednesdays. I have previously handled multiple different dogs in different situations. I always aim to make the animal feel the most comfortable in every situation. I plan to care for your pets on your own terms whether that be in your own backyard or on walks near your house.

“Jackie is so good to our pup! She’s a very caring person and responds very quickly to our messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet… Jackie is the person to go to! Our pup loves his walks with Jackie :)”

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a while and also have taken care of my neighbors pets for long periods of time! From walks, baths, feeding and playtime, I’m experienced in taking care and having fun with dogs of all ages. My dog in particular was a senior and she dealt with arthritis and liver disease, which would limit her ability to do certain things like long walks and going upstairs, or even eating. I do have the experience of taking care of senior dogs that may need this special treatment. I also walked King (pictured) as a volunteer for PAWS NY. This organization has volunteers who walk and/or take care of pets for those who are unable to do so themselves. My job is remote, so I can work from anywhere. My hours are also very flexible, so I am able to work around your schedule! I am also available anytime on the weekends! My area is safe and very pet friendly. The neighborhood is very residential, and there are a few parks nearby. There is also plenty of accessibility and perfect for pets!

About: I’m a former CNA who was known for being caring, attentive, and dependable. Helping others has always been a part of who I am, and now I’m bringing that same energy to something I’ve loved my whole life—working with animals. This isn’t just a side job for me—it’s the beginning of my own pet care business and a step toward my dream of becoming a veterinarian. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment where dogs feel at home. Every pup I care for is treated like family, because this work truly matters to me. I also have two dogs of my own who prefer their own space, so they’re kept in a completely separate area of the home during guest stays. Visiting dogs have their own comfortable space to relax, play, and get plenty of one-on-one attention—without ever interacting with my personal dogs. Safety, comfort, and peace of mind are always my top priorities. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. I’m home full-time, so my days revolve around the dogs in my care—making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. From morning potty breaks and playtime to cozy evenings and routine check-ins, I structure my day around their needs. This isn’t just part of my week—it is my week, and I love every minute of it. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, or cuddle time. I keep things low-stress and personal, always making sure they feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Each fur baby will be leashed for walks, potty breaks, and can be crated if the owner is okay with that and only if necessary. I prefer the dogs in my care to have space to roam.

“Nicole is great! When my dog is stubborn and doesn’t want to walk, she hangs out with him and plays with him so he’s still burning off some energy.”

“Alex is a courteous, friendly, and reliable dog walker. He was very good with our terrier, who has a few (!) behavioral problems.”

About: Since 2016, I’d eagerly come home each day looking forward to taking my dog, Teddy, on long walks outside. That passion led me to create my own dog treat business, driven by my desire to share that love and care with other dogs. It is so rewarding knowing I can contribute to the happiness and health of dogs one walk at a time. I am currently very free during the hot summer months while taking care of my dog, Teddy. I have a lot of extra free time for any last minute walks! My home is a very calm environment with no kids and one other dog. There is a lot of space outside and many friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I am very attentive to whatever it is the dog may need, (walks, play-time, or love!) as well as being educated on dog behavior.

About: I’ve always had a place in my heart for animals! I have been volunteering at shelters for over 3 years, as well as recent experience as a vet assistant! I’m not just here to feed and walk, I build trust with your pet! I take the time to approach each animal with patience, and adapt to their comfort and energy level. Whether it’s a high energy puppy or a timid cat, I tune in and make sure their needs are met! I am currently working as a vet assistant so my hours can be a bit limited! From M-Th I work 7:30-6 pm but am available for check ins after work! Trust is everything! To build a trusting relationship I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stay, I am always tidy, respectful, and focused on creating a calm, happy environment for your pet!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages- from birth to little old pups and I am here to help where I can. I am a huge pet lover and have always helped family and friends take care of their pets when needed. Extra Note: I have taken care of and owned many types of pets- cats, goats, chickens, reptiles, ferrets and more! I am a college student with weird hours and time to spare! In the summer I am available most of the time with really no time constraints. The school year is trickier but I am still able to help when needed and ready to! However you care for your furbabies I will do the same! Just tell me what they love and don't love and we will work together. I want your pet to be comfortable with me as much as you are with me caring for them!

“great communication, reliable, and super sweet! great with my dog- i highly recommend!!”

About: Hi! My name is Julia and I’m a nursing student at URI who absolutely loves dogs. I have my own dog and have years of experience dog sitting and dog walking for my neighbors, friends, and family. I’m very responsible, patient, and caring, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and can help with walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and giving your pets lots of love and attention while you’re away. Being in nursing school has also made me very dependable, attentive, and calm in all situations. I’d love to help care for your furry family members! As a nursing student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets lots of attention. I’m dependable, active, and happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve sat for multiple families and pets and have owned many animals so comfortable with all. Even other pets like birds, turtles, lizards basically any. Treat animals like my own and frankly treat them more like kids considering single and child free lol. Past clients say the animals miss me now look around for me and look when they say my name I still stay in touch and visit sometimes. I work at a doggy daycare/dog and cat boarding facility Monday through Friday and every other Saturday 7-2. Always around with the animals afternoon and evening time for walk and feeding routine and in am before work. In your home I’ll spend time playing with the pets inside and outside and clean up after them. Willing to help around the house if needed also

“Maureen is great with the dog! She is sweet, patient and is willing to help out. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by them, as many of my family members have dogs as well. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. I have looked after multiple family members’ pets, watched my neighbors’ dogs, and provided dog-sitting care before. I am very comfortable with feeding, walking, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout my day. I also really miss my dog at home, so spending time with dogs here would be something I genuinely enjoy. I already go on daily walks, and caring for pets would fit naturally into my routine. Even with my classes, I would have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness would always be my top priorities. I am responsible, attentive, and caring, and I would work hard to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and well cared for. I will always treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love I would want for my own pet.

“I highly recommend Steph, she has been wonderful with my two pups - one is a grumpy bulldog and the other is a crazy black lab, so I know she can handle double dogs of different speeds which is great! She’s also really sweet with the dogs, super friendly and easy to talk to, and very flexible with bookings.”

About: I grew up with a sweet Golden Retriever, Jake, who taught me a lot about pet care. I walked, fed, and got to know his unique personality. As he got older and developed mobility issues and glaucoma, I made sure he stayed comfortable, loved, and happy. Later, we added a sassy Poochan puppy, Blake, to the family (I picked him up from out of town!), and I helped raise him, taught him tricks, and helped him bond with our senior dog. I've also noticed when dogs weren’t feeling right, once I suggested allergies, and I was right, and we got him treatment! I've pet sat and walked dogs for others too. I love all kinds of animals and pride myself on being patient, observant, and understanding of every pet’s individual needs. Pet care for me is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I find joy in spending time with animals, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Each day starts with caring for the pets I'm responsible for: morning walks, fresh food and water, and a little play or cuddle time. Throughout the day, I build my schedule around each pet’s routine, whether that’s a midday walk, medication, or just some one-on-one attention to keep them happy and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I like to check in on things like cleanliness, grooming, and overall health, making sure litter boxes or food bowls are fresh, fur is brushed if needed, and every pet is thriving. I take my time to really get to know each animal’s personality, quirks, and comfort zones so they feel understood and cared for while their family is away. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust for all animals. I understand how important it is to keep their environment calm, secure, and familiar. In your home, I follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free for you and your pet. I pay close attention to any instructions regarding food, exercise, medications, and behavior quirks. I also make sure your home is respected and cared for while you're away. If I’m welcoming pets into my own home, I create a clean, cozy, and pet-friendly space. I remove anything that could be unsafe or tempting to chew, and I make sure pets have their own space to relax, eat, and play. I supervise all interactions and tailor the environment based on the pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. Trust is everything in this job. I communicate openly and often with updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident and reassured while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and wellbeing are always my top priorities.

“Jasminette was a godsend. She left Frankie in better shape than when she first met her. She communicates well I would definitely use her again”
