“Cora and Jim had a blast at Destinee’s! They played and played and what was especially awesome is Cora can be aggressive with other dogs but she wasn’t at their house at all and got to enjoy herself! I’m so grateful! We didn’t worry about them at all and received regular pictures and feedback about how they were doing! Thank you!!”
“Rubal took great care of our elderly dog! She treated him the way he needed to be treated: extra gentle care and attended to all of his needs including giving him extra attention. She was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures each day. She is easy going and creates a calm, relaxing environment. It is obvious she loves animals and is flexible to their needs. We will definitely will use Rubal services again and I highly recommend her!”
“Kamela and her family took great care of our German Shepherd, Lucy. They were exceptional in their communication and care for our dog. We will definitely will be re-booking with Kamela!”
“Stacy was wonderful with our dog Cali and we could tell when we picked her up, she had had a great time! Stacy was very communicative and sent us daily pictures, which made our time away from Cali a little easier. We are so thankful to Stacy and we would highly recommend her for your fur baby :)”
“my dog was well taken care of at Yvette’s house and came back happy and sleepy! She was there for me last minute when our air-conditioning went out for my dog to stay somewhere nice and cool on a hot day. Very communicative and sent great pictures for updates!”
“Once again Sara did an AMAZING job watching my little old baby Bones. Not only did she take him on super short notice, but she had him all during the holiday season with a pick up on Christmas Eve. My dog is old and anxious but Sara worked her magic (as always) and he was happy and content during his stay. She sent me regular messages and photos and I never worried even for a second knowing she had it handled. Her background as a Vet Tech really comes in handy with my babies as they have either been old or sick and she just takes the very best care of them. I swear that I would not go on vacation if Sara wasn't available to babysit for me. She is the absolute best and I would recommend her 100%!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life — my family has always had both dogs and cats of all sizes, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I had 3 cats at once growing up in my moms house as well! I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, training basics, grooming, and giving lots of love and attention. I have an equal amount of love when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes — from small cats and puppies to large, energetic dogs. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or a long walk for exercise, I enjoy adapting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine since I will be available three days a week. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings on those days, and I can adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I do live in an apartment, but I also have a safe balcony that your pets can get fresh air and relax on if they like being outside often! I always treat pets with the same love and attention as if they were my own. I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable in their home environment. Whether that means following their feeding routine, giving them bathroom breaks, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling, I make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Beans! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Beans was happy and comfortable. We loved getting updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Beans was well cared for and received plenty of attention and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book Natasha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Natasha, for taking such amazing care of Beans! 🐾💕”
“Gianna and her family were wonderful! I was anxious about leaving my 4 3/4 month old, and not completely potty trained, puppy, Bronte, after only having her for a month after adopting, but I had an out of town emergency. She assured me she wouldn’t be upset about accidents , “That’s what carpet cleaners are for!” Well, the first night was really rough with Bronte absolutely refusing the crate and multiple accidents. Gianna sent me a sweet picture of Bronte and one of her dogs sleeping with her son in the couch. Things improved after that, and Bronte settled in, feeing at home. She got lots of love from the whole family. She still had some accidents (yes, I tipped her!), but she was obviously happy in the photos I got. I can’t thank Gianna enough. My first time using Rover and I hit the jackpot!”
“Tracy was amazing with our senior dog, Fezzick! He wasn’t used to being away from us so I was hesitant to leave him with anyone. Tracy updated us regularly and provided lots of pics which helped ease our anxiousness. She helped Fezzick during his time away from us and helped ease his anxiety too. I won’t hesitate to book Tracy for Fezzick’s next stay. Plus, she and her husband were super friendly!”
“Emily is the best. She is calm and confident and will diminish any anxiety about leaving your pet with her. My two very energetic boys have a blast at her home. We love her (and Josh 😊). ❤️”
“I can’t recommend Meagan enough! She took such great care of Ralph and was so caring and attentive to all his needs. She was super responsive and sent me daily updates, which I really appreciated. She even took Ralph to the park where he got to run around, play, and enjoy the outdoors. He came home completely exhausted from having so much fun! It was clear he had a great time with her, and I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’ll definitely use Meagan again!”
“I am so happy that I found Deborah & Jeffrey to board our pups for 10 days. We had a last minute issue with our parents watching them so Deborah & Jeffrey had no issue with taking them in & giving them a very well loved experience. My pups felt very comfortable with them and their pets, also I received updates on their stay with pics which was very comforting to me. I will definitely use them again for future stays 😊”
“I think if given the choice Phoenix would live with Sarah and Justin, she loves them to death and we do too! She had the best (almost) two week vacation of her life at their house!”
“Dita has an excellent setup with a large fenced back yard and often has multiple dogs which our cockapoo enjoys. She keeps us up to date, including photos. Would recommend her to anyone.”
About: With over 10 years of experience in the veterinary field, rest assure that your pet is getting the best care. I worked in a general practice hospital for 5 years then transitioned to an Internal Medicine department where I worked for 5 years. With a special interest in senior dogs. I am able to administer medications for advanced disease processes. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I am home most of the time. I will be able to provide one-on-one attention, play time, and multiple bathroom breaks throughout the day. I have a very large fenced in back yard that is safe for your dog to run around in. I have a senior dog who spends most of her day napping. We also have a pet bunny who is kept separate from our visiting dogs. There are two children aged 6 and 8 that live in the home as well.
“David was very professional. Kept us updated on our potties activities. Ample space that allowed for my dog to roam freely and was socialized with other dogs as well. Great job! Thank you again, David.”
“Great sitter, Xena was in great shape and happy upon pickup. Communicated well without being overbearing. Respected my concerns and addressed them. Would recommend and use again.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Smith Valley can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smith Valley home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Smith Valley.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.

You and your Smith Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
