“Robin is amazing! She has been our doggie sitter for several times now and we are very happy with her. She washes the containers of the dog food and brings in our mail. She is the best!”

About: Hey, I’m Aubree! I am a life long animal lover with lots of experience caring for all different types of animals. These pets have ranged from dogs and cats to even goats, horses and other farm animals. I am a stay at home mom and like to pet sit in my free time. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 goats, and a horse of my own so I definitely understand the care and love it takes to make them happy. My favorite thing about animals is how individual they are and how much personality each pet has. I would love the opportunity to be able to care for your pet. Please message with any questions or if you are interested in having me care for your pet. I am currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible! It allows me to be available for pet care all throughout the day. During meet and greets, I always like to discuss the best ways to interact with your pets! Each animal is so individual so it allows me to care for them in the best way possible.

About: I have had dogs for 10 years and know what it takes to take care of them the best way possible. I enjoy their presence and am able to share the love. I currently work part time at the university of South Carolina, so I have plenty of time to help out and take care of pets I make sure to monitor my dogs when it is time to take them outside. I make sure to keep them on a schedule and reward them after

About: When your pet is with me, they immediately become apart of our family. Playtime is out of this world, Routines are followed and cuddles are a priority until you’re reunited with your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs, my entire life so loving on them is second nature. **UNAVAILABLE 9/5-9/9** I work from home until 10 PM but work can follow me. Your pet’s care will include frequent visits up to 4 times a day including walks, playtime and feedings I have a fenced in back patio for your pup to soak up the sun. I also live in the first floor and have no other dogs or kiddos so hopefully your pup likes solitude as much as I do.

About: I am currently a boarder/ kennal tech at a vets office where I care for pets when their owners go out of town. I take care of puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats of all sizes and breeds. I feed the animals as well as give them their medicine, and also feed them when its time. I also run and play with them for exercise. I love throwing a ball around with them or even a frisbee. I have a 3 year old blue pit whom is my big baby. I feel all animals have their own personality and have the capability in learning they are like are little children and I will treat and take care of your animal as if it were mine .

“She took wonderful care of my Mochi during four days of drop-in visits! She was punctual and sent pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. She went above and beyond to keep her bathroom areas clean. When she got into the drawers, she even took extra steps to prevent her from getting into them again. Would happily book her again!”

About: I have always had a certain connection to animals which is why people always run to me when they have to leave for a trip. I don’t really do much besides be home and workout so taking care of animals fits right in and i love getting to know them. I make sure they are well fed, walked, and played with to obtain that happiness and playfulness , we love to see in every dog.

“Amazing, nothing else to say. I had a birthday vacation planned for a couple of weeks and realized that I had no one to watch my cat. Moe showed up at the correct time. Every single day sent me pictures and updates every single time she visited and when I got home today I could tell that my cat was well taken care of! I’ll use no one except Moe from now on, 12/10 would recommend!!!”

“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life—from growing up with my sweet chocolate lab, Jessie, to now being a proud cat mom to Sir Purr and Smore. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior cats and dogs, and I’ve learned so much from the pets of family members and neighbors along the way. For the past few years, I’ve been pet sitting for close family friends, and it’s something I truly love. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle cuddles, or just a reliable routine, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your furry friends will be treated like family—because to me, they are! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I’m available for evenings and overnights on weekdays and available all weekends ! I offer reliable in-home pet care services including drop-ins, overnight stays, playtime, walks, and grooming. While I don’t have a yard, I have my own transportation and am more than happy to come to you. I follow your pet’s routine, provide personalized attention, and ensure a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember because I love it! I’ve grown up around animals and know how important they are to people. I look at my pets as family, and love them deeply. I own one dog and fight the urge to get more everyday!! I love excersive and since my dog, Oaklee, is a bird dog and a brittany, he needs a lot of it. With my personal experience I can handle the laziest kitty cat to the craziest, most high energy, dog. You name it, I can love it.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Smallwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Smallwood is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $19 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,035 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Smallwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smallwood. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
