Personalized care for your dog or cat - Smoot

“Amber was very flexible and quite kind. The pictures she sent during my dog's stay show how much he enjoyed his overnight. I have already booked a longer stay in September.”

Anne M.

“Jaret watched my pittie mix for 11 days, and we could relax knowing that he was in great hands. He sent beautiful photos of our Louie on walks, which made us feel much better about being away for so long. Louie came home relaxed and I think he really enjoyed his time there. Would 10/10 recommend and rebook.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats & kittens and dogs with their puppies for family, friends and workmates. They’ve snuggled on my lap and slept in my bed and their comfort and routine are my priority. I’m currently working from home so I would be with your pet continuously. Boarding could be any day of the week including weekends….and holidays too. I have a fenced yard and large porch where your pet will be comfortable…although your pet would never be outside alone. I start my day when they do and I’m near a state park where walks are wonderful.

About: I love animals. All animals. I’ve had pets since I was a baby. I have 3 dogs and a Persian cat. I’ve always wanted to work with pets and this seems great. I will love and care for your pet like they were my own and you will never have to worry about them. I know your pets are your family and I will care for and love them. They will be at home in my home. You can work and enjoy your day or vacation without having to worry about your pets. I can watch your pets almost any time. I’m home almost all the time. If there is an appointment or anything that has to be done I will let you know ahead of time. I live in a rural area. Surrounded by the woods and not near a road. Only have 1 neighbor that is close and it’s family. Plenty of room to run and play.

“Lauren is so nice! I can’t even explain how much it meant when she sent pics to me of my Sassy while I was at work. At the time, Sassy was a brand new rescue to me, so being in a strange environment worried me. Lauren has a calming demeanor and Sassy was totally at peace while in her care. I would highly suggest Lauren anytime!!!”

“Lovely experience with Emily. You could tell she has experience with animals. Very communicative and enjoyed receiving pics while away from my kitty. I am confident to leave my furry friend with her again as she was very attentive and sweet with my kitty.”

About: I’m a long time cat sitter! I love cats and unfortunately am unable to give one a home due to a family member’s allergies, so I love spending time with other’s! I’m very comfortable with all kinds of cats and have confidence delivering meds when necessary

“Eliza was the absolute best! She was very detailed in her Rover cards. I could tell she was a true animal lover and my senior absolutely loved her! It was such a nice treat to know my boy was safe while I was at work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Danielle B.

“Dependable, great communication and a good dog vibe. She followed instructions and the dogs were well cared for. We would love to use her services again in the future!”

“Jaret was great with Marti and my mom's dog Maggie. We wound up having to change our drop off and pick up times slightly but Jaret was completely flexible. He took great care of them and made sure they were comfortable.”

Robert & Brittany M.

“Lauren came to the rescue to watch our dog Reekie while we did touristy things in Fayetteville. She was on time, respectful, great communication, and took good care of Reekie.”

Ronalyn W.

“Lucy was tuckered out at the end of the day! Full day of running around and socializing with other dogs. She is one happy pup!”

Samantha S.

“Christa was incredibly friendly, patient, and accommodating. Our pup is very shy around new people and she took the time to let him get used to her and the environment. She communicated frequently and promptly through the app. We had some unexpected schedule changes and she was very flexible in allowing us to adjust our drop off and pick up times.”

Spring T.

“Jodi was great - timely in meeting at our predetermined location, flexible with times, friendly/personable, and forgiving of my dog’s elderly foibles (like sometimes peeing inside). I would certainly have her sit again in the future.”

About: I am the proud owner of Siberian Huskies. We spend lots of time outdoors hiking and playing in creeks/rivers. My furkids love play dates and we schedule as many as possible. I love to be outdoors enjoying the beauty of the area in which I reside. I have a fully enclosed chain-link fenced in yard at my home, but we still walk 3-6 miles every day. I will enjoy walking with your pets as well and will strive to make sure that the time you are away will be as enjoyable as possible.

“Great communication and no issues. Emily took care of our dog for the day while we rafted in the area. d communicator and highly recommend if you are in the area.”

About: I am very comfortable dealing with many types of animals. I regularly care for a medically demanding cat and administer advanced meds. I love getting a break from studying to get outside and give some extra love and attention to a furry friend! I have experience caring for very young puppies, all the way to older pups and love every age in between! I’m currently in school and in class until about noon, so I can absolutely stop by for a walk, for dinner time, or just some general company! I am more than comfortable feeding, crating, and walking all types and sizes of dogs. I would like to spend time with each animal beyond just a walk or feeding to get them comfortable with me.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and enjoy walking them and getting to hangout with them, though my dogs normally weigh over sixty pounds, I also like walking small dogs. I’m pit bull friendly and I don't mind crazy, jumping, pulling, hyper pups. I can start at 6 am but would like to be home by 9 pm. Hours are, of course, subject to change depending on the amount of clients booked. I provide 15 minute to 1 hour walks, as well as, approved trips to parks. I can also check in on pups for feeding and any clean ups throughout the day.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have been dog sitting for friends and family for most of it. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality (and all their weird little quirks!). I also have quite a bit of hands-on experience beyond my own pets. From 2013–2015, I worked at the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), where I helped provide formal dog training classes and gained experience with dog behavior and positive training techniques. Over the past five years, I’ve also fostered dogs through New River Animal Rescue — everything from puppies to sweet seniors and dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently have a 6-year-old rescue mutt of my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, reinforcing training and routines, or giving a more timid pup some extra patience. Mostly, I just want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and at home while their person is away. ❤️ I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks and company throughout the day. I work from home, which means dogs in my care get plenty of supervision, attention and outdoor breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow whatever routines, feeding schedules, crate routines or house rules your dog is used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
