“We are so grateful to have found Destinee! She took amazing care of our dog, Ru, and went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home. From the moment we dropped Ru off, it was clear that Destinee is not only incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, but truly loves them too. She had everything set up—her doggy pool, extra toys, cozy sleeping spots—and kept us updated with pictures throughout Ru’s stay. They even took her on walks! Knowing Ru was in such loving and capable hands made it easy to relax while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with Destinee again!”
“Our first visit of what we hope will be many! Our dogs enjoyed their visit. We can tell when we get home how our dogs behave and they are very happy and their normal loving selves. We are very happy to have found Sheila. She keeps a warm loving home, very clean and fresh, even with several doggies. Sheila and her husband give the visiting doggies love and attention. Can’t say enough about this wonderful woman.”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Gianna is the best!! Our pup stayed with her for 10 days and had a great time, like she was on vacation too! Gianna sends pictures daily without me even having to ask and it’s clear our pup is enjoying her stay in each pic 🥰. We will most definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Absolutely the BEST! Our dog was treated like family and loved. Amazing communication, received pictures and updates while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.”
“Marilyn is very kind and easy to work with. She gave frequent updates. When our pup hurt himself she took such great care of him, and even took him to our vet herself. We were so grateful for her wonderful care.”
“Garrett and his girlfriend were such lifesavers for watching harvey while I was gone. It was the longest I've left him before but I felt so comfortable the whole time knowing he was happy and safe. They kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time!”
“Nellie had another great stay with Paola! She is definitely our favorite dog sitter when we leave town, and we are so grateful for her care and great communication! My dog loves her and loves being there!”
“Thank you Sarah! She was great with King and up to the task of dealing with my grumpy old man. She kept me informed and I felt he was in great hands while I was out of town. He eventually started warming up so that’s let me know he felt comfortable.”
“This was Tanner and Max’s first stay with Tonya. When we picked them up they seemed happy and well cared for. There was lots of space at Tonya’s and other dogs to socialize with. Tonya seems like she really likes animals.”
“Melissa was great! She gave frequent updates on our dogs while boarding with her. She is very fast to respond to questions. Would definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”
“Breanna was great! It was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone who was not family, and she made us feel comfortable and ensured that our dog would be taken care of. She also sent plenty of picture updates which was a huge plus!”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
“Jameelah was an absolute delight to work with. She very clearly loved caring for our dog, Freddie. She sent lots of adorable pictures, took him on walks, and kept in close contact. We will absolutely use her again and appreciate everything she did to watch our little guy while we were gone.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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 .
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.
