House Sitting in Smithville

“Arianna it is absolutely amazing. Our two girls loved her so much. She did a great job and was very responsive and responsible. We look forward to having her stay with our pups again anytime she is available. I highly recommend her.”

“Katelyn kept us informed about Bella throughout our vacation. She sent lots of pictures too. We will definitely be using her for all of our long-term dog sitting needs.”

Susanne S.

“I was a bit worried as I have had a previous bad expirence with a sitter ,who a friend said was good When Willow and I met Tamara we both like her instantly. After talking a bit about Willows care she brought in her "in Training" Service Dog Smokey. I never worried while I was gone. When I got home I could tell that Willow had a great weekend. I will definitely use her again. She is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to pass on her information.”

About: We’re Layla and Gracie, a sister team who work together to care for your pets like they’re our own. With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, we’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, small pets, chickens, goats, and even donkeys. We take the time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine, which allows us to offer flexible and consistent care. I am a full-time online veterinary technician student, and my sister Gracie is volunteering regularly at a local animal shelter with the goal of becoming a veterinary assistant. Because of our availability, you’ll be able to depend on us for walks, check-ins, and overnight care every day of the week. Your pets will always have priority in our schedules and routines! When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we do our best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. We follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions (medications, diets, etc.) to make sure your pet feels comfortable and stress-free when they’re without you. We spend quality time with each pet based on their needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. We’re happy to provide updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“I have 2 dogs. One girl who is skittish of everyone and another dog who's an escape artist. Recently I had to leave town at the last minute and Brittan stepped up, even after I warned her it wouldn't be easy. Wow, it was such a comfort knowing my 2 dogs were safe and taken care of. My skittish baby learned to eat and drink with Brittan and my escape artist didn't escape! TY Brittan!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was little. Having pets in the home growing up shaped who I am today, and I am able to grow bonds quickly with practically every animal. No animal is too big or too small, they all deserve the best love and care we can offer! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! From early morning feedings or late night potty trips, with enough notice I can help whenever! I have two large dogs who I take care of every day. We have a fenced in yard but I’m always keeping an eye on them when they are outside. My older dog has medical needs so I am experienced with medication schedules and keeping an eye out for side effects.

“Garrett is amazing! He took great care of our dogs for over two weeks. He left the house spotless. Our vacation was so happy because we didn’t have to worry about our pets. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: I've had a lot of pets in my life. I currently have 6 dogs and 3 cats. I have experience with reactive dogs and dog selective dogs. I deal mostly with large and extra large dogs but have owned medium and small dogs. I've worked for a boarding kennel before so I have some professional experience with that. I am also a current foster to shelter dogs so I see different breeds and personalities all the time. I work a full time job. I work nights so I'm usually available during the day early mornings and evenings on the days I work. I can always find a way to make it work. I have dogs that do not get along with other dogs or people. I am very used to a crate and rotate schedule and I'm very conscious of my dogs mood and behavior. I also have foster dogs, so I have new dogs in and out and ensuring safety is my top priority.

“My pets really loved Cheyenne!! They were happy & healthy upon our return. Will definitely rebook with her in the future 🙂”

Vita W.

“Susan was wonderful! Very communicative, and sent pictures of our babies the whole time we were away :)”

Sarah A.

“Diego was the best dog sitter we could have asked for. He sent us pictures throughout the weekend, and it was clear he genuinely loves our dogs, which made us feel so happy and comfortable. He went above and beyond by taking them on multiple walks each day and staying with them the entire weekend. He even bought them new balls out of the kindness of his heart. Such a great guy and an even better dog sitter!”

Autumn & Joshua N.

“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I will be starting a part-time job on June 7th, but for now since I’m currently not working, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting—perfect for pets who do best staying in their own home and routine. I have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and daily care needs. I’m the kind of person who talks to dogs like they fully understand me (because… they do, right?), and I never say no to a good game of fetch or a cuddle session. Whether your pup is high-energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed and always follow care instructions closely—details matter! I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos (probably too many, but no one’s ever complained) and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. While I am watching your fur family my babies will still be getting their needed attention from my boyfriend. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—and yes, I will absolutely learn all their nicknames. I have tree big dogs myself, of various ages. My Boo Boo is getting old and I have Jerry who still is full of energy. While Stella has spurts of energy some days and other days she'd rather just snuggle. I am very cognoscente of what's around me when walking dogs. I am comfortable crating your baby and sleeping with them if needed & medicine.

About: I I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. My background includes daily feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash walks, playtime, and providing lots of affection and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort levels. I work a remote full time job. If I’m needed more frequently, all I’d ask is to be allowed to work from your location. Otherwise, I’m on a 9-5 work schedule and can be available for one hour, typically between 11am and 1pm, and every evening. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I am available after 3:30 pm daily, which allows me to reliably focus on feeding times, walks, okay sessions, and quality one-on-one care in the afternoons and evenings.

“Steven did a great job checking in our pup while we were out of town. He shared updates twice a day and made sure she was well-cared for. We would book with him again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very young my mom loved rescuing pets she would find on the streets so we always had a house full of dogs. I work from home fridays and on the weekends im home in my apartment all day so I have time to take care of the dogs. I take care of the dogs by letting them roam free in my apartment I also enjoy taking then out for a nice walk around the complex.

“Kiara was awesome at communicating with us and sent us photos of our babies every day. We were so worried about putting our pets in a boarding house because one of our pets would have just not been able to handle the change well. Rover.com was a lifesaver and Kiara was amazing with our pets. She even came over before we left on vacation to meet our pets. Overall we are extremely happy with the service we received.”

About: I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals. I love animals and love learning about them. I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays
