Pet Sitting in Smithland

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“Alison has been so wonderful and the cats could not be happier! She provides amazing updates and photos to let you know how your fur babies are doing! 1,000% recommend her and will be reaching out to Alison going forward for all future cat sitting opportunities!”

“Another great experience with Samantha! She was very attentive to both kitties, noticed right away that Griffy was feeling a bit off, and even cleaned up his puke-mess on the carpet! Highly recommend her!”

About: Hello, I’m Kylee! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have over 12 years of experience caring for not only my own family pets but the pets of family, friends, and even folks from other internet platforms like this one! My family currently has 1 dog and 8 cats living with us, all pets that came to us because they had no safe place to call home. I believe in doing everything I can to give all the little creatures out there a chance, and feel blessed to have been able to help so many over the years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rodents, squirrels, chickens, horses, and even a couple of lost goats! I’d love to meet you and your pets, and spread some of my love to them too. SERVICES: -House sitting: I love spending quality time with a pet in their comfort zone of your home, whether we’re snuggled up on the couch together or playing with their favorite toy! My method of house sitting involves more than just a morning hello and evening goodnight. I want to spend as much time as I can with your pets to make sure they still feel loved and taken care of while you’re away. This includes several hours in the morning, several hours in the evening, and all night spent with them in your home. This also of course includes all feedings, playtimes, walks, litter box cleanings, etc. I feel that house sitting allows me to provide the highest quality of care for your pets for the lowest cost to you. *Constant care, which means 24/7 care where I do not leave your pet alone or your home at all, is a different service which will need to be discussed further. It is quite expensive, considering the level of care provided. If you’d like more details, please contact me!* -Drop in visit: I’d love to do a drop in visit for you to make sure your pet is kept safe, healthy, and happy! You can expect more than just an average half hour or hour long visit to your pet when you book with me. It is my personal goal to provide your pet with extra special attention, and make sure all their needs are met fully. -Dog walking: I believe a little fresh air, sunshine, and exercise is good for everyone, dogs included! I’d love to meet your pup and take them on an adventure through your neighborhood! I would love to chat more with you and see if I could be the perfect fit for your needs! I can offer the loving care your pets deserve, to give you the peace of mind you deserve. Please contact me with any questions or concerns! Pet care is part of my everyday life. Right now my schedule is quite flexible. I’m open to whatever you need, I’m here to help you! We can book services in advance, last minute, or even set up a regular care schedule! I’ve loved animals all my life, and I’ve got over a decade of experience of caring for pets. I’m capable and confident in my abilities to take excellent care of your pets. With me, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. Thank you for considering allowing me this opportunity.

About: There have been a couple puppies that I have house broken as well as more dogs that I have taught other tricks such as sit and shake. I have also taught dogs to not pull on their leashes while on walks I currently have a very loose part-time schedule and can very easily be flexible. Mostly Mondays and Fridays are the only days that I will not be available I have two cats as well as one dog that is fully crate trained. We have a fenced in back yard and the cats are fully indoor cats

About: I've taken care of many dogs since I was around 13. I am the designated pet sitter when my family goes on vacations. I tend to whatever they will need. I'm still in school, and I am also a parttime firefighter. I only work a couple days a week and have most afternoons, nights, and weekends free. I can handle dogs bigger than me. I tend to let them do what they need to do outside (if they dont need a leash) while getting their food ready. Lastly I always remember to use a leash (if needed) when taking/ letting them outside.

About: I’m a registered veterinary technician (animal nurse) and I have about 10 years of experience. I’ve been an RVT for about 4 years now so I know what it takes to make sure your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I’ve pet sat for friends and family before; working with dogs, cats, to even reptiles and other small mammals. I look forward to working with you! I care for my own pets and I work full time at a vet clinic. I’m off every other weekend and thursdays. More often than not am I working with animals! Typically, when I’ve pet sat, I’ve stayed in people’s houses and work with what is available in the home. I’m flexible when it comes to environment and work place.

“Everything is fine. Jaclyn left me a text photo of Hank being out in the yard. I know he likes her because her wont do that for everyone. We will be making an appt for a week in Sept. I have already discussed this with Jaclyn. Please put an $8.00 tip on my account number that was provided. I appreciate the fact that her family lives several blocks from my home.”

About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! Animals have been the heart of my world for as long as I can remember. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including 3 years working in a shelter and 10 years in veterinary clinics as a receptionist, kennel worker, and manager—you can trust that your pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I share my life with a lovable pitbull who is my whole heart, so I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. Whether it's drop-in visits, older pup care, or just good old-fashioned playtime shenanigans, I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do use a mobility aid for walking, but it doesn’t slow me down one bit when it comes to cuddles, belly rubs, or tail-wagging adventures. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your four-legged best friend! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available for a variety of activities such as mid-morning, afternoon and mid-day drop-ins, potty breaks, play time and socialization. I’m my own home, I take my own dog for multiple walks throughout one neighborhood throughout the day. Due to being unable to board or do overnights in clients homes, depending on your environment, I would love to spend time outdoors with the animals, whether a it’s for playing fetch in the yard, walks in the neighborhood, relaxing in the sun with our feline friends, or just dropping in for some one-on-one time.

About: I have been around animals all my life. I am a registered veterinary technician who has worked with all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. I work in a school district and am currently on summer vacation, so I have tons of availability to visit your pets and/or walk them during the day. My only unavailable time is Tuesdays after 5:30. I will always ensure the animal feels safe and loved. I will follow the same guidelines that their owners have set to ensure minimal confusion and anxiety.

“Kendra took great care of Rocky, he ate all of his food for her, and that never happens when I'm gone!”

About: I have one dog who is a year old and loves making new friends. I also have two cats, one super friendly and one not so friendly, but rest assured that I have everything I need to care for your pet. I'm very attentive and love animals so your pet will be very well taken care of. My availability is pretty open and I'm very flexible with pet needs but I do work so pick up/drop off times will vary depending on the day. I'll give medication orally and topically, giving shots just depends. I can guarantee the best pet care I am physically able to provide for your pet. Other than working every morning I'm usually home all day so your fur baby won't get lonely with both me and my dog to keep them company! I have a fenced in yarn with a privacy fence so no one can squeeze their way out. I give fresh water daily and when it's nice out we can go for walks.

About: I have 30+ years of pet care experience from caring for family companions as a child to running a farmed animal sanctuary (currently) and everything in between. I have worked with nearly every domestic specie and some wild too. I recently "retired" after being a nanny for a family for eight years and have transitioned to working from home so I can spend more time at the sanctuary. I would love to fill in some of my spare time caring for other's companions as it's my true passion. I'm currently working from home as a bookkeeper where I create my own schedule. I also don't have human children so other than vet appointments for our sanctuary animals, I'm very flexible. I cannot offer care in my home but I would love to help provide a calm and safe environment for your companion in your home while you're away. I'm available to feed, water, walk, play, socialize, give meds, cuddle or provide animal cleanup services.
