Pet Sitting Smithwick

“Chealsea did a great job walking our two dogs this weekend. One dog is high energy and the other is blind. Chealsea had no problem with them. In addition, she was flexible when we needed to add another check in last minute as well as make a time change for the walk. I would recommend her and plan on using her again.”

“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”

“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”

“After being gone for a long day, and you come home to happy pups. There is no greater feeling than knowing that they have been loved and cherished by someone else when you were unable to spend your entire day with them! Shima not only ran around and played with my fur babies, but gave them the extra special attention and love that they cherish. I highly recommend Shima and will definitely hire her again for any future pet sitting services I may need!”

“We've relied on Billy quite a bit, and the dogs are always happy to see him! We trust their care to him for drop-in visits while we're away -- he makes sure they get plenty of outside time and their meal (plus a "goodbye treat" we always give when heading out). For reference, the dogs are 55 and 80 lbs, a pit-lab mix (11 y.o) and a husky-lab mix (4 y.o). Izzy and Blue thank you, Billy!”

“Fiona (Ziyu) was wonderful with our three dogs! She visited prior to our booked service to meet them and engage with them, and showed up exactly as scheduled. She communicated readily and sent multiple photos. One of our dogs is very reserved and barks at new people, but she warmed up to Fiona immediately. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was secured when the door code would not engage the lock properly. She called and we walked through the issue on Facetime, and she took a back up key and even made an additional trip to return the key. We highly recommend Fiona, and look forward to booking her again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who need extra gentleness. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping feeding routines consistent, and reading pet body language. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and let them go at their own pace and make sure every pet feels happy, secure, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I love to do. I work remotely two days a week, and my schedule is very flexible and easily adjusted. I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, feeding, and playtime, and I’m happy to follow their routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I make safety and comfort my top priorities while caring for pets in their own home. I always supervise playtime and walks, keep everything clean and secure, and follow all your instructions for feeding, meds, and routines. I’ll also provide regular updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Deonna was a blessing to have sitting both of our cats! She was very thorough following my care instructions and bonded with one of my more shy and timid felines pet 🐈. I loved the daily reviews from the visits and pics as well kept me from any worries. I would definitely have her care for my cat's again!”

“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”

About: I've been a vet tech for many years and can offer a variety of care for your fur besties. I can offer walks, overnights, medicating, and some basic grooming needs. I can care for more than just cats and dogs. Please don't hesitate to reach out about other types of animals also! I currently work full time but I don't let that stop me from being there for your pets! I can do overnights so your pets have someone there in the mornings and the evenings. This does mean that I will not be there on weekdays during the workday. Please keep that in mind 🙂 I will try my best to provide the same care and attention that the pet is used to. I will make sure to get as much information from you about your daily routines to ensure that they feel like you are there with them!

“Tristan was awesome! We have a 16 year old large dog Gigi who can be skittish with new people and Tristan was patient and kind and won Gigi over. I highly recommend Tristan!”

Dayna M.

“Vanessa is so great with our kitties. I feel so much better being away, knowing she is looking after my babies. She sends pictures and gives me updates daily. She is so great with my cats, even when they have some “cattitude”.”

Laura S.

“We really loved Elizabeth! The dogs, as well! One of my dogs, who is not affectionate with his kisses gave her a few licks! I am pretty sure she is the first person to get licks on the first visit. I know my dogs are in good hands with her!”

Holly D.

“Nathan is amazing. He’s thorough and SO communicative. He sent pet pictures and videos the entire time, and even when Diesel was being a little hellion was so patient and even spent some extra time with him to calm him down. Please use him, you won’t regret it. He’s going to be my regular sitter moving forward!!”

Leah Ruth P.

“Courtney took my request last minute when our prior dog sitting plan fell through. She was extremely responsive and made me feel comfortable that my two dogs would be well taken care of. I loved getting the updates and photos from each visit and being able to communicate between visits. My dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and were able to play, cuddle, and be themselves while I was gone. It gave me great peace of mind of my travels to know they were so well cared for.”

About: I’m an experienced pet owner who has had both dogs and cats and I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Pluto who I adopted as a kitten. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs when they travel, so I’m comfy with the routines, personalities, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors!! I love going on walks and getting outside PLUS I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get some energy out. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and companionship rather than simply checking in on them and dipping. Because I’ve owned both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. Some want to play and explore, while others are happier relaxing and lounging (I have those days too, haha). I’m attentive to those differences and will follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible!(: My goal is to give every pet safe, attentive, and loving care! Whether that means an active play session, a walk, backyard time, cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their own home. I work a FT hybrid schedule, so I’m home every day except Wednesdays and Fridays as I’ll be in office until I get off at 5:30pm. On my remote work days, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including during my lunch break and after I finish work around 5:30 PM. I also naturally enjoy being active and usually take walks/runs early mornings and evenings daily. This makes it super easy to incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor time within my routine. For pets staying in my home, they’ll have plenty of companionship from me throughout the day, along with access to my fenced backyard for supervised play and outdoor time. On my office days, I’m available for pet care after I get home from work. For drop-in visits, I can visit during my lunch break and/or after work on remote days. On Wednesdays and Fridays I can stop by after work or before my shift. My weekends are generally relaxed and flexible, so I’m also available for visits and pet care then. I’m usually home a lot and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised play and outdoor time, and I’m more than happy to incorporate walks and playtime into their routine. My cat, Pluto is extremely sweet and comfortable around dogs, but I understand that not every pet feels the same way. I have a two-story home, which allows me to keep pets separated when needed and give everyone their own comfortable space. Safety and making sure each pet is comfortable will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feedings, meds, walks, potty breaks, crate routines, and anything else your pet is accustomed to. I like to keep pets’ normal routines as consistent as possible so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s established routine and provide whatever care they need; including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and of course love & attention. I’m also happy to send updates and fun photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.

About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home

“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”

About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.
