House Sitting in Smithfield

“I know my pets are in great hands with Samantha. She provided excellent care for them and went lots of pictures. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Julia stayed overnight with my fur babies and was able to impress us in 4 ways: 1- She was able to cuddle up with one of my noncuddly kitties - a lovie kitty but we can't get her to cuddle but Julia did! We got video proof. 2- Julia also provided insulin shots to our diabetic cat morning & night. 3- She came the day before to meet the pets and get instructions. There were a lot of instructions and she absorbed them all with a great attitude and told us that the details show that we really care about our pets. 4- The most important thing that Julia did for us was to let our Cavalier King Charles sleep with her no matter how much he snored! We will definitely have her watch our house and fur babies again!”

“Makayla was wonderful! She gave daily updates and took such great care of my kitties, it helped ease my separation anxiety so much!! 10/10 would recommend her!”

“Oceana is AMAZING. We recently moved to the area and had to jet off quickly for a family emergency. Not knowing anyone yet, we crossed our fingers that someone on Rover would work out. We feel SO lucky to have found Oceana! She sent tons of updates and most importantly, our pup ADORES her. We can’t say enough good things about her!”

“Avery is the best! She has taken great care of our dogs and is super quick with communication. She also sends pictures on every check in which I love 🫶🏻”

About: I am super flexible and able to cater to any of your dogs needs! I have experience in watching and walking dogs. I am quick to learn and good at following directions. I currently work part time as a waitress, so I am able to fit your pets around my schedule! I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time. I can give frequent potty breaks and crate the pet if needed.

About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all. I have an associate degree in animal science so I am comfortable with any medical care that might be required for their care as well. I have worked with obedience training and service dogs, though I never received credentials. I am a mom of 2 with a few part time jobs so my schedule is busy but flexible. Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.

“Sierra was great with our dogs, and they were very calm and content when we arrived back from our trip. She also helped out with a couple household things, that was greatly appreciated! She sent an update everyday as well.”

Samantha J.

“Sam was great to get along with and work with. There was a slight miscommunication on how long the stay was, but once I explained it. She got back on top off the stay! Would work with her again.”

About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. When I was very young we had a Yorkie named Rex. And for the last 11 years we have had an energetic yellow lab named penny. We trained her ourselves and now she is very well behaved. I love dogs and am great with them. I love to play them just as much as they do! I currently work part time most days of the week but have a fairly free schedule since my shifts aren’t that long. I go to sleep late and wake up early so my days are open! I live in a house with a fenced yard big enough for a dog to play fetch in. My roommates love animals too so all pets will be welcomed. I am willing to stay at anyone’s home and will be respectful of any house rules that are set.

“Laura was able to take this assignment at the last minute after a family friend had a change of plans and wasn’t able to stay with my dogs. She was very accommodating and did everything I asked!”

Tracey M.

“Carmina was wonderful! Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned.”

Iree W.

“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”

Kelsey B.

“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”

Alex A.

“Becky was amazing! We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She showered our dog with attention and love while providing regular updates and photos. She also stayed in our home and left it absolutely spotless. We highly recommend her!”

About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, 3 cats, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.

About: I have had my dog for 4.5 years and really enjoyed raising and training her. Outside my home, I have helped friends and family with house-sitting, dog walking, and check-ins/potty breaks. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite open! I am available for services any time on weekends and on weekdays after 2 pm. I have a fenced back yard, and a gate at the front of my house, so your pet will be entirely secure! There is a patio and grass in the back, leaving space for zoomies. Inside is an open floor plan with space to play while being supervised and safe!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work

“Kati did a great job with our little princess Lulu. She met all our expectations, and would use her again and again!”

About: I grew up around both dogs and cats, and I plan to grow old with them. Right now I have three cats, 17 year old litter mates Trixie and Jynx, and a one year old Goose. My old ladies both take medicine every day and all three cats have different diets, so I am used to very involved care. I pet sit regularly for family and friends, sending frequent updates through pictures, videos, and texts. I'll keep you as involved as you'd like. Helping people has always come naturally to me. I spent a year working as a caregiver for the elderly in their homes, and I had a housecleaning business for 3 years. I am very respectful of people's homes and their privacy. My schedule is very flexible. My work is grocery delivery, light housecleaning, babysitting, and pet sitting. The only time I'm unavailable is Tuesdays 7a-2p. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will introduce myself slowly if they're scared, or match their energy if they're excited. I'll gladly help with medication or complex food preparation, and I understand the importance of clean litter boxes. When I take your dog outside it's not only potty time, it's exercise, exploration, and playtime. If your cat is high energy, I'm happy to spend time with a laser pointer or cat wand.
