Personalized care for your dog or cat - Smithburg

“You are amazing! She truly loved and careful for Nellie like we do. I was able to relax and enjoy being away and knowing she was well taken care of. Highly recommend”

Jenny W.

“Kara and Zechariah were wonderful hosts and great at communication. They were super accommodating for a last minute trip.”

Whitney Z.

“Otis and Molly were well treated. Came back happy and tired from playing all week. Updates provided during the week was reassuring. Would recommend. Will rebook if the need arises again.”

Scott T.

“Shannon was the absolute best. My old buddy copper is 14 almost 15 and doesn't do well when we're away. He'll stop eating and just generally fail a bit. Not with Shannon! He fell in love with her dog and they became best friends. I could tell he loved Shsnnon because when I picked him up and she was petting him, he had a big sloppy smile on his face! It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would recommend Shannon over and over, and I will definitely use her again soon.”

About: I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs, along with senior pets. I have owned and carried for multiple dog, cats, and exotic animals. I have trained 2 service dogs and a therapy dog as well as scent work foundations. Animals are my biggest passion, my goal is to help and love your animals as my own in order to help you achieve all goals you may have in mind. even if its as simple as a good walk. I spend my time taking care of my own dogs, walking, training and grooming. I still have time in the day to help others and this is my best idea to achieve that. I have 2 friendly dogs, Tyson who is around 8 he is extremely neutral and coda was is a bit older then a year old who has tones of energy for play. I have harness and long lines to make sure your dog has the ability to run and play safely even though I don't have a fenced in yard. My dogs will only interact with yours if you ask for it, as I know some dog just prefer to be on their own. I have toys of all sizes and types. All dog will be leashed before any door is opened to ensure no dog will be getting loose. I know how to administer medications if needed along with how to give the dog the Heimlich. Your pets safety is my number one priority.

About: I have less experience with dogs. Only ones I’ve had as pets. I would be great for walks. I am reliable and timely with requests. I have a full time job, but looking for evening walks or weekend care. I am familiar with medications, shots, and feeding tubes. I enjoy walking and would gladly take your dog to the park for a stroll. At home, we have few rules for my cats. We have pet friendly furniture and toys. Dogs that get along with cats would be fine!

“Nikki was great! She sent us pics several times a day and our dog seemed to be having a great time which allowed us to relax and enjoy our family get-together. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely use her again.”

“Mekayla and her husband were so great with the dogs! Free range of the house and yard and made them feel at home! Can’t thank them enough and would have them take my dogs again!”

About: Over the last 20 years, I've encountered numerous family, friends and neighbor's dogs to feed, walk and *if they allowed* pet and snuggle. I personally have loved 5 dogs in that time. Many of the dogs I have cared for range from age 12 weeks as small as dachshunds up to 16 years and as large as irish setters. I also have speciality in assisting dogs with health complications, such as cancer and addison's disease so I'm very familiar with medication schedules. I enjoy adapting to each dog's personality and preferences as they are just like people. I have always loved dogs! I work Monday thru Thursday most weeks so I am available on most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to walk, pet, feed and play with your dog. I have a fenced in backyard that has previously held six other dogs in my care. I also have almost anything needed for a dog like leashes, bowls, toys, bedding, and a if needed a clean, small crate and "accident" spray. Food, treats and any meds would need to be provided by the owner, but I'm more than comfortable with following schedules.

“Lexi took great care of my 8 month old Great Dane! We were going to Florida for a week, & didn’t want to put her in a kennel so took a chance with rover. She allowed us to come and meet her first, see where Piper will be staying & make sure she would be safe. Lexi sent pictures and videos & always responded quickly to my texts. I was worried at first because Piper is a handful, to say the least lol If she can handle a week with my GIANT “hyper Piper” ….she can honestly handle anything!!!! Thank you so much for taking great care of her, I will most definitely contact you again when we need another vacation ❤️”

About: I have been caring for dogs for over 16 years, and I truly love it. I currently have four friendly dogs, and I would be delighted to provide care for your pet as well. Why choose a kennel when you can leave your pet in a loving home? Your furry friend will enjoy walks, playtime, and lots of fun, so you won’t have to worry while you’re away. I live in a great neighborhood for walking, and I am available to care for your pet any day of the week. Your pet will have little time without human companionship. All of my dogs are friendly and welcome interactions with others. I encourage a meet-and-greet so you and your pet can feel comfortable before making a decision. I will ensure your pet stays on a schedule. I work less than 10 minutes away and can check in for lunch if needed; however, there will usually be someone home with your pet. We typically go for walks at least three times a day. In my household, your pet will become part of the family. I look forward to hearing from you! While I maintain a full-time job, my significant other works opposite hours, allowing them to provide care for your pet during the day while I’m at work. Together, we are committed to ensuring a consistent and nurturing daily routine for your furry friend. I have three friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pets. When your furry friend stays with us, they will be treated like family and showered with love and attention. If needed, I can easily create a peaceful environment by separating pets in different rooms or kennels. My dogs are accustomed to welcoming visitors, and they happily share the spotlight, allowing me to focus on giving your pet the care and affection they deserve. Your pet will feel right at home!
