“She is amazing. Cummunicates well, follows up, does what she says she'll do and what I ask, shows up, and does a great job. Jurnee is very friendly and trustworthy. Maverick loves her!!!”
“Look no further, these are your people! No, seriously. Ann is great with animals and Im so thankful to have found them for my boy. I have been recovering from 19 surgeries within the past 2 and half months so I have not been very active and can't really take my pup on walks atm. My poor dog who's a GSD and full of energy was beginning to go stir crazy and desperately needed a good walk. Im in a leg cast and don't have a lot of help so I turned to ROVER for the first time. I was incredibly nervous about having a stranger walk my dog. I read through profiles and reviews and decided to reach out to Ann. They have experience with big strong dogs and My dog is a leash puller. Ann and her family responded quickly and she came over soon after to take my boy on his first ROVER walk and first walk by a stranger. She reassured me they'd be alright and really put my mind at ease. They both did great. I was so nervous she wouldnt want to walk him because of his bad habit but thankfully she took him for a nice, long, much needed walk. My pup came back tired out and much happier. I instantly knew I made a great choice with Ann. She is very understanding, kind and great with animals. Highly recommend them and will continue to book her whenever Koa boy needs a good walk.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with both dogs and horses helped build a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and daily care. Today, I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time outdoors with them, especially hiking and staying active. Pet sitting for friends has also provided opportunities to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits every day except Saturday. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or times that best fit your pet’s routine. Whether your fur baby needs a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets are secure, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I can take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and even watering plants or collecting mail. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. Even though visits take place in your home, I treat each environment with respect and make sure your pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their own space.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort Smith. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fort Smith.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
