Dog Walking 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”

“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 meditate regularly so I have a calm, grounded presence, especially around animals. I grew up around cat and dogs my whole life so I know them well and how to care for them. Also I all kinds of animals including octopus, fish, snakes, scorpions, frogs, spiders, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. Happy to care for any and all pets in your family. I run my own design/tech/apparel company (goodfornothing.lol) so I can work from anywhere on my laptop and my schedule is my own. Taking care of animals is a joy for me and gets me out of the house and out for walks =) I can be available for weekdays or most weekends with enough prior notice. I especially enjoy dropping in on pets during the day when their people are at work and give them some time/food/walks/playtime/attention. I can't offer pet boarding in my home currently, but I'm happy to house and pet sit for you while your family is away. I prefer sleeping in my own travel camper that I can park easily by your home when I come to visit. Happy to arrange anything from as short as a weekend to a few weeks if you'll be away for a while.

About: I have both the education and the experience to take excellent care of your pet! I have a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, but more importantly I have the lifelong love and experience for pet care. I have taken care of a wide variety of animals, including but not limited to dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish. I have had a dog at home for my entire life, and I have personally kept reptiles and fish as pets. I am able to administer medication as needed or other medical tasks like cleaning ears or wounds. I would love to meet your pet and give them the best experience while you’re away. My schedule is currently open to whatever your needs are! I would love to take on some drop-ins or get outside with your pup and stretch our legs! I have a secured runner in my backyard, and I can confidently restrain and crate pets as needed in the home or on walks. I want to make sure that I keep your critter safe and healthy while they’re in my care.

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.

“Lesley is amazing! We contacted her on short notice when my fiance was suddenly returning back to work. We loved that she had the experience to provide training walks for our little guy who is still learning his leash manners. She was flexible with our schedules, and keeps in contact with updates/videos throughout. She has provided us great advice on how to be better dog parents while on our walks. In just a few visits our baby is already behaving so much better on his walks! Do yourself a favor and hire Lesley!”

“Abby is great! She’s helped me out a lot on short notice when I needed it and was also available for a longer daycare stay! She always makes sure Sadie has lots of fun and is well taken care of! Will definitely use her services again.”

Rachel L.

“Stuart is great to work with, I’d highly recommend him for any of your dog walking or other care needs. He is a clear communicator, proactive with updates, and flexible with scheduling…plus our dog loves him!”

Charlie T.

“Marissa is fantastic! Our fur baby instantly loved her. I would recommend her for dog walking.”

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

About: Ive been taking care of my own pets as long as Ive been able, and began pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for others in high school during 2022. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying ages (puppies/kittens-elderly pets) and needs (illnesses and disabilities), as well as more exotic pets like lizards, birds, rodents, and aquatic animals like fish, turtles, and axolotls. I’ve administered medications for dogs, but do not have experience with needles. I’ve spent up to a week taking care of several animals at a time, as well as short periods like nights and checking in daily. I will do all I can to provide your pet and home with the care they need! I’m currently in college, but primarily online, so my school schedule is flexible with your needs! I am not working outside of pet care so I am not tied down to other responsibilities and provide the time needed to care for your pets. I’ve lived with pets my whole life, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable paying attention to a pet’s behavior and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and secure. I’ll also treat your home with respect, double-check doors and gates, and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for while you’re away.

“Kimberly was awesome. She showed up in time (Even 5 minutes earlier) and she made sure to do everything that she could for my dog. Will definitely contact her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with a special place in my heart (and home) for furry friends. I’ve raised and trained dogs, including German Shepherds, and since moving from Boston to RI two years ago, I’ve loved turning my cozy, dog-friendly home into a little retreat for pups. We’ve got an acre of land to explore, and every day starts with a peaceful walk through our sunny neighborhood. Whether your pup is here for the day or staying overnight, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and love—just like they would at home. I offer: • Boarding in my home • Doggy daycare • Dog walking • Drop-in visits I’m reliable, warm, and totally dog-obsessed—every dog I meet becomes part of the pack. I’d love to care for yours next! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾💛 I work remotely 4 days a week week. I often adventure locally with my husband in tow on the weekends hiking, doing outdoor activities, very dog friendly :) I live on a quiet road across from an apple orchard, not close to any type of traffic. I have about a half acre green backyard for dogs to run in with my supervision

About: I am a dog owner with extensive sitting experience for all breeds and sizes. Prior to COVID, I was a volunteer dog walker and helper. I am willing to watch dogs for overnight stay, day care or other options as requested. I can also pick up and drop off or perform drop in visit within a 20 minute radius of Pawtucket RI. All my meet and greets are held outdoors and masks are no longer required also I’m fully vaccinated. This is my job and I treat it with the upmost respect and professionalism. I treat them as my own, whether they are here for days or hours. I currently work with Amazon at the comfort of my home. My schedule is pretty flexible! Working from home allows me to work for Rover as part time and helps me pay for college tuition. I live in a big apartment with a spacious living room. There is plenty of space for your fur baby to run and play outside. Also I live near many beautiful parks where I can take your pup to play.

“Little miss Kimba was a happy little pup after her walk with Tatiana. Tatiana was communicative, timely, and even showed up early for the first meeting! Highly recommend.”

“Olivia is a genuine animal lover. Her passion and love for animals is evident the moment you meet her. Our Archie loved her too! She is incredibly responsive and responsible. We would definitely book her services again.”

About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.

“Samantha was punctual and thorough at our meet and greet and was able to work with my very excitable but friendly dog. She provided updates as the walks were taking place and sent videos of my pup. Will definitely be calling on her again!”

“We were in a bind and Shawn helped us out last minute, we would definitely book again. Thanks again!!”

“Bittersweet - Emma was super sweet and we wish her the best building her business. It wasn't a good fit for our family - she minimized feedback offered about dog care-related decision making (based in valid and evidence based concerns about safety). Immediately after the first walk and subsequent discussion, she declined to work with us further. We are bummed, because our pup connected with her quickly.”
