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”

About: As a child I grew up with two dogs and a cat. I am a true people person as well as an animal lover! I have taken care of family, friends, and neighbors pets while they are away. I have fostered dogs in the past and currently have two cats at home! I am currently working as a registered nurse so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week and weekends. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week. I'm willing to help out when I can and work around my schedule. I assist with feeding and companionship with both animals in my home and the services I offer. I often do care in the clients home while away on vacation but would also be willing to come over for just a walk or a little play time.

“This was our second time having Gary help us out, and he even accommodated a same-day request! He’s reliable and communicates well. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in good hands. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend him!”

About: Hi, my name is Neriah! I’m a second-year college student at CCRI and a pet sitter and dog walker. I’ve had dogs since I was six, and I currently have one dog, Apollo, and three cats of my own. Through pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My experience includes caring for multiple pets at once, senior pets, and pets who need medication. From energetic dogs who love walks and playtime to shy cats who need a little patience, I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable with me. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, exercise, and companionship. I follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. Whether they need an active playmate, a quiet companion, or extra attention, I’ll care for them with the same patience and affection I give my own. I’m currently working full-time as a pet sitter and pet care provider, which gives me much more flexibility and availability to care for your pets! My schedule is generally very open, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of dates and times depending on my existing bookings. I am available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. 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.

“Despite Skye's timidness, Caprice was exceptionally patient and eventually had a successful walk. I appreciated her willingness to wait for Skye to become comfortable.”

“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.”

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

“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.

About: I have grown up around dogs and have personally trained each dog that has been in my family. I currently have a mini Aussie named Oakley! I am pretty strong and can deal with a dog that pulls on walks. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. Rain or shine I am willing to care for your dog. I am a very responsible person. I look forward to the opportunity to spend most of my time being around the animals I love! I will care and love every dog I take care of like it’s my own. I have a car so I can travel to different locations! I truly love all dogs and look forward to caring for yours! I have a pretty open schedule and I am sure we can find something that works for both parties. I am flexible with most days or times! I live in a very safe area away from any main streets, I have dog park not too far from me. I have a dog friendly house!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover originally from Brazil, where my love for animals started at a young age. I've always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has always been something very special to me. I'm a proud dog mom to Kacey, my sweet and energetic 6-year-old black Labrador. She's very friendly with other dogs and absolutely loves playing, exploring, going on walks, and joining me on little adventures. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to loving and caring for dogs! I'm excited to open my home and share that love with other families. Whether it's walks, playtime, boarding, or outdoor adventures, my goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I also love taking pictures and videos, so I'd be more than happy to send you updates throughout your dog's stay or visit. I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your furry family member! One of my biggest dreams is to someday have a farm where I can rescue dogs and other animals and give them the happy, loving life they deserve. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I enjoy spending my time with dogs and love making them part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and making sure each dog gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places, and going on adventures with Kacey. I'm happy to make time for your dog's individual needs and routine, and I will always do my best to provide attentive and loving care. My goal is to make sure your dog never feels overlooked and always has plenty of attention, affection, and fun! Your dog's safety and happiness are always my priorities. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable and confident knowing their furry family member is being cared for with love and attention. At home, Kacey is part of our family. She's a sweet, friendly, and playful 6-year-old Labrador who enjoys having company. Because Kacey lives in our home, dogs coming for boarding must be comfortable and friendly around other dogs. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and care according to their own personality and needs. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special preferences. I also love keeping pet parents updated with pictures and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing, having fun, and settling in. Communication is important to me, and I want you to feel at ease while your best friend is with us!

“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!”
