House Sitting in West Smithfield

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of my dog Moose while I was away. She stayed at my home for several days and followed every request to the tee, including walking him 6 times a day. She went above and beyond by playing with him regularly and even bringing along her sweet dog Fletcher who quickly became Moose’s new best friend. She was careful to monitor Moose’s breathing during walks and playtime to make sure he didn’t overexert himself, since he was still recovering from the final heartworm injections he received a month ago and required a gradual increase in exercise, per the vet’s instructions. The daily updates and photos were such a relief and showed how happy and well cared for Moose was. Emily was incredibly professional, friendly, and patient throughout it all. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend her!”

“Mary was absolutely wonderful!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. She has such a calm, reassuring presence that immediately put us and our dogs at ease. Even our shy pup, Kosita, warmed up to her fast. Our senior dog Natty has high needs (she is partially deaf, blind, diabetic, and requires insulin twice daily) and Mary handled everything with confidence and care. She kept us updated with photos and thoughtful check-ins, especially around Kosita’s eating. She was incredibly patient and even helped us discover a new trick to get her to eat. We came home to a clean house, a scooped yard, and happy pups. Most importantly, we were actually able to relax while away, which says everything. Trusting someone with our babies felt impossible at first, but we’re so grateful we found Mary. We’ve already asked her to pencil us in for our next trip and would highly recommend her… especially for pets that need extra care. Thank you !!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life. Neighbors and friend have relied on me for years to care for their pets. I worked for a vet while in college assisting in treatment of animals and assisting in surgeries. I also pet sit when clients need extra help. I live volunteering at animal shelters. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Animals of all kinds are absolutely wonderful. I work full time as a 5th grade teacher. I am about to be out for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your wonderful fur babies! In your home, I make sure to follow all your directions for care, feeding and giving meds. I always use a leash or go outside with the fur baby if there is a fenced in yard. I never leave them alone.

“John is great. He knows how difficult it is for me to leave my baby, and he takes wonderful care of him and our house. He takes Rufus on adventures and plays with him. I know Rufus appreciates the pup cup surprises. I trust John with Rufus and that makes leaving him easier.”

About: I’ve walked and cared for my families dogs and cats since i was young, i’ve always loved animals and having the chance to care for new pets is really fun. im currently working part time, mostly nights so i have a lot of free time during the day and afternoon. im also free every other weekend in my home, i feed my cats twice a day and make sure they are played with and loved on. And unfortunately right now, one of my cats is having tummy issues so i do know how to administer medications if needed.

“Skipper did an excellent job. I am so thankful he came and took such good care of my cats. The automatic feeder has a gel pack to keep out moisture broke and dispersed into the food. It was the perfect example of why even with an automatic feeder it is important to have someone check on the animals. Skipper provided excellent communication and updates.”

“Brandi was awesome again. She took great care of Sammy while we got out of town for a few days. Brandi sent pics and updates. He was happy when we got home and we could tell he was good while we were gone. We will definitely ask for Brandi again for next vacation.”

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: As a biology teacher, rescue worker, and pet lover I have experience caring for animals that some people have never heard of! We currently have a bearded dragon, a musk turtle, a Catahoula mix dog, and a number of fish. I love them all, and I’ll show your pets the same care and attention that I do mine. I am a full time school teacher and mother of three. If you’d like your dog socialized, I can provide socialization. If they need snuggles, snuggles abound here. If you have more than just dogs, we can talk about that, too! I know how hard it is to find people willing to care for critters that need live food, insects, a bit of hard work and more, so I'm willing to help where needed. As long as you can provide instructions, I'm willing to learn some new things too. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends during the school year and all day every day (as long as I’m not on vacation) during the summer. Just let me know what you need! I have a fenced in yard and a dog-friendly large dog. My children are well trained in how to approach and introduce themselves to new pets.

“Brooke is really great with dogs! Boone seems to really like her. She sent us pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when we had a question. She’s flexible with your schedule and needs and does a lot to accommodate your pups needs. She slept with our pup each night.”

About: I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn how to care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I have two dogs of my own a beagle and a GSP. Both full of curiosity and energy! I am currently working part time and available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dogs parks, anything you already do with them to make them feel the most comfortable!

“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”

“Charley was really good with Our dog Apollo while we were on vacation. She was good with updates and pictures! Would have her watch him again!”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats since I was a child. Until now, there was never a time when my family or neighbors didnt need me to care for one of their pets. I am very comfortable providing the best care possible. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I am only accepting requests for daily walks or in client home visits. Since I am living with my parents right now, I will only be accepting requests for daily walks or overnight stays in the clients home.

“Great communication, regular updates and came home to find the house clean and all kitties happy and well fed. Dawn even left us a welcome home plant! She will be our absolute top pick in the future!”
