Personalized care for your dog or cat - Smithland

“It’s so nice to know that Erin will take good care of our Zoey while we are away. I could never put her in a kennel. She needs to be in a home and a part of a family. Erin makes sure she feels at home and well loved. The pictures she sends me are and added comfort”

“Ashlee and her family are fantastic! Wonderful people that we are so glad we now know! Such a wholesome and the best people who felt like friends. They took such great care of our pitsky and basset beagle hound. Mochi and Babbs just loved everyone! We loved the daily updates and pictures. They have a beautiful home and plenty of walking area. I got notifications on our Fi collar app that Mochi matched her step goal everyday with them, which we don't always hit at our house. Lol We are definitely going to have Ashlee and her family care for our furbabies again.”

“Jean was amazing! I have a high-energy Goldendoodle, and she was great with her. She kept me updated with photos where my pup was either playing with other dogs or happily doing her own thing. I felt totally at ease the whole time knowing she was in such good hands. Great communication, super thoughtful care!”

About: Over 17 plus years of dedicated, successful experience in loving, caring for, and nurturing animals, ensuring their safety, health, happiness, trust, and overall well-being daily. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life—I’ve had pets all my life, continue to lovingly care for my own, and bring that same devotion to every animal I meet. My home is a warm, pet-friendly environment where animals are treated like family; even my 5 and 9-year-old sons have been raised to treat pets with respect, kindness, and gentle care.

About: I have had animals my entire life ranging in breeds and sizes! I love all animals (always have since I was a little girl) no matter what kind or size! I can play with your annimal and get their energy out or just simply check up on them for you! I am very flexible with my schedule and willing to comb/brush or any other reasonable requests that you may have! I will treat your dog like it is my own! I work through the week with breaks during the day, but I am usually free throughout the weekend! Early mornings are also free for me! I have two dogs of my own a Goldendoodle and a Poodle, and have dog sit for large and small dogs ranging from dogs who are crate trained and others who have not been

“She was absolutely phenomenal with my kitties. I was so grateful for her help and flexibility!”

About: I have always had pets growing up, and have taken care of countless pets of all species, breeds, ages, and sizes for friends/family since high school. I love the challenge of winning over an animal that is hesitant around new people. The more stubborn they are to warm up to new people, the harder I try to win them over. But it is always at their pace and on their terms so that they are completely comfortable with me. Your pets will be loved and spoiled like they are my own. I am available during the nights for in-home pet sitting, with the option to pop in during the day to let your pet out and for feedings. When I care for pets in their own home I make sure that the pet owners show me where everything is located within the home for the animals, and leave emergency numbers such as vets in an accessible place in the case of emergency. I will take as much time with your pets as they need in order to be comfortable and well provided for.

About: I've brought home every stray cat I could find for the last 40 years. We have cat towers and teepees and tons of cat nip for your little kitty!

“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter with great updates when visiting my dog. Very thankful for her to be able to take such amazing care of my dog and following my instructions well”

About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.

“Such a wonderful person. Took great care of my Golden Retriever Tucker. Sent photos of his day and he loved all the attention from her and her daughter.”

“Great experience highly recommended.”

About: Experienced in 25 years with all domesticated animals from bottle feeding to senior care. I have raised and rehabilitated lots of animals. I have a lot of experience at rehabilitating wildlife as well. I stay in contact with local shelters, vets, and sanctuaries. I currently work from home and I make my own schedule so that allows me to know in advance what days I can book your furry (or non furry) pal! Being home also allows me to spend much needed time with your pet, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will take multiple pets from the same owner. I want your pal(s) to have the best experience at our home. I stay at home the majority of the time. One of my three dogs are crate trained. I have experience with crate training if your dog is used to a crate upon leaving or at night. I have a separate 3rd bathroom that I have always used for my own dogs in case they need to be put up a while upon leaving briefly. If your little guy or gal is shy, no worries I have all the patience needed for that. If he/she wants to stay away from the others, I have a separate large room (with TV for noise) and extra bathroom. My dogs love watching dog TV, and maybe yours will too. If your pal follows a strict schedule, it would not be a problem to accommodate!

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and horses my entire life, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior and needs. I completed dog training classes with my dog Izzy and have personally trained my other dog, Tilly, reinforcing obedience and good habits. I’m especially passionate about working with dogs and have experience managing multiple pets at once, having cared for up to five dogs at a time. My hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals help me provide attentive, reliable care that stands out from other sitters. I am currently a student at Purdue University, but I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to take your pups for a walk! I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 7am-12pm and weekends from 10am-5pm. Since I live in an apartment, I currently offer dog walking services rather than in-home boarding. I have a reliable car and am able to travel to your home to pick up your dog. From there, I can either walk them around your neighborhood or safely transport them to a nearby park for exercise and enrichment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure all dogs are securely leashed during walks, closely supervised at all times, and kept away from unsafe situations or unfamiliar animals when necessary. I also pay close attention to each dog’s energy level, behavior, and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to provide a trustworthy, consistent, and positive experience every time we’re together.

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).

About: I've had pets since I was very young. I started taking care of friends pets and my own since I was 15. I currently have 5 dogs, 8 cats, multiple rats, and 2 ball pythons. I currently work full time but am able to care for your pets in the afternoon and on Fridays and Saturdays. I can also take time off to care for your fur babies if given ample time to ask off or find coverage for my job. I currently cannot do anything in the home I live in as it's not mine and there are too many animals living here, however I am able to care for your pets in your home as I would my own. I respect boundaries from pet parents and will always do things within the rules and boundaries told to me when caring for your fur babies.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I absolutely love my babies. I really love getting to spend time with animals, and even getting to take care of them! I work part time at a cleaning company so I have plenty of time to look after your babies! The only times I ever need is Sundays for church! I go by all of the house rules and feeding plans, and if it is needed, all of the cleaning needed while I am there!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals, grew up on a farm, and currently live on one. I currently work with horses. I quit nursing to do something I love and work with animals. If I cannot give your animal the care I would expect mine to get for some reason, I won't take the job. I currently work with horses every day. I live on a farm where we have goats 🐐, horses 🐎, chickens 🐔, a pig 🐖, cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, a rabbit 🐇, and a guinea pig so I'm no stranger to animals. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own. If my scheduling conflicts with their care, I will simply turn the job down because it's just not fair to them. I'm not really about leaving them locked up. I enjoy playing with them, walking them, and getting to know their personalities.
