Dog Sitting in Smithville

About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family members when I was 10. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of labs, pitbulls, doodles, yorkies, and other small rescue breeds all ages from puppies to elderly. I’m looking for a job not only for some college money but also for some pet therapy. I can’t go home to see my own dog so it would bring me so much joy to take care of someone else’s. I am a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible. My schedule is very day to day Monday through Sunday but I have more than enough time to take care of animals for hours at a time if needed. I will follow any instructions given to me. I have no problem cleaning up after a dog if it makes a mess, and I have definitely gotten some dogs in crates with some tricks. I will always make sure the house looks exactly how it did when I got there, and make sure the pup has a clean and comfy place to stay!

“Jazmin did a great job! She seemed to genuinely care for our cat, Cleo, even though it was her first time watching her. She did Cleo’s routine, played with her, and gave her attention. Cleo can be a picky and talkative senior cat, and Jazmin was dedicated to providing good care.”

“Jamie was fantastic and great at communicating. She took really good care of our dogs and rabbit. After the nightmare we had with another sitter on Rover, Jamie was a great relief. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.

About: I’m dependable, patient, and truly love animals. I understand that every pet is different, so I adapt my care to fit their needs — whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or maintaining a training routine. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets that need a little extra reassurance. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, which means I’m best available in the evenings throughout the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins or walks during those times and always make sure pets get attentive, unrushed care. I communicate clearly about availability and scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and household guidelines. I’m respectful of your space, make sure doors and windows are secure, and always double-check that everything is safe before I leave. I keep a clean environment, refresh food and water bowls, maintain litter boxes, and monitor behavior for any changes. I also provide updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.

“If we could give Naomi 10 stars we would!!! Naomi is such a caring, thoughtful, and dependable person. Our experience was great, Naomi took such care of our two kitties and went above and beyond providing constant updates and pictures putting us totally at ease while we were away. We HIGHLY recommend Naomi!”

“Samantha was very good with our lab Jake! She showed up to each visit in a timely manner. Pictures of Jake and good communication was appreciated. I would not hesitate to use Samantha again; the weekend went great!”

About: I've had pets for the last 15 years. I'm an active dad who loves walks around town with my own dogs, I am more than happy to walk yours also. Our pets are up to date with vaccines and I keep clean water bowls daily. Feel free to reach out to me with your questions, I'll be happy to help. I am a stay home dad and I take pride in running my house accordingly. I'm an active runner and walk ours dogs often so they don't get anxious and i play fetch with them daily x3 at least. I have space for crates while I'm outside walking whichever dog's turn it is in order to guarantee their safety. I have a schedule for feeding times to maintain appropriate weight goals for our pets. I have a fence backyard with space to play fetch so we don't have to find random parks on days that are too hot or too cold. However walks are a must for the dogs social development. Walk time vary depending on age, size and capability of the dog. When I walk a dog, I prefer to put the other ones in crate with a water bowl to guarantee their safety. I keep the AC or heat on according to the season.

“Breanna is so sweet! Scotty loves her and I feel so much better knowing he’s taken care of. The fun photos if their playtime together were the icing on the cake.”

“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”

My goal is to treat every pet like family and maintain their well-being while respecting the home they live in.

About: I’ve taken care of pets from pit bulls who need more socialization to cats who are shy and have special needs. I’ve learned to have more patience so I can really get to know how each pet behaves. I’m always available to drop in during weekdays from early morning to afternoon while I’m still working out a more consistent schedule with my part-time job, but I will always make time for a furry friend in need! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. Dropping in to your house will be no issue, I’ll make sure everything stays as it was, if not better!
