“Our 3 dogs used to dread when we would pull luggage out to go anywhere, because they knew they would be going to “doggy jail”. Now that we have used Destinee for the last year, they get excited! Our dogs are our life, and it speaks for itself that when we round the corner to her house they start squirming, ready to run inside to the toy bin or a puzzle. The photos we get have become one of our favorite things to anticipate when we are away and the communication is awesome. When I sprung on her we were at last minute adding a 4th to our pack, and was hoping to update our most recent booking she didn’t blink an eye and in fact checked in on us in the weeks prior, interested in knowing how he was integrating into our family. I cannot say enough good things about Destinee and her family, they hold a special place in my and my dogs hearts!”
“Kristen is a great dog sitter ! Her communication is amazing she made sure to send plenty of pictures and also text updates about my dog ! This was the first time my dog went and he had an amazing time 10/10 will definitely use her in the future ! Words can’t describe how great this went !”
“Sheila was very good with communication and helping accommodate my dog while I went on vacation. I was rushing leaving the house and forgot to grab my pups wet dog food to mix with his dry food because that’s the only way he’ll eat it. She personally went to the store and got him some. She sent pictures and updates everyday and made me feel like I wasn’t missing a second with him, which I appreciate.”
“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!”
“Stacy was so wonderful to our 2 yard old Golden Doodle! Her house is a friendly place and the whole family loves dogs. Stacy sent us plenty of updates throughout the days she cared for Kaia in her home of both dogs playing, sleeping, and eating. Let Stacy be your dog’s home away from home!”
“Amazing pet sitters. Thanks for taking care of Brennan for us and sending us a video and picture. We will definitely be booking again! He had a great time and seemed well taken care of.”
“Ash and her Husband, Mike, and their two beautiful children were a great match for our dog for the week we had to find boarding. They communicated very well. They were very sweet and truly loved our dog. It is always reassuring when the hosts love our dog just as much as we do! If I could give 10 stars I would. We are very grateful for them and will surely use their services 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.”
“Jacklyn was incredible. She was kind, patient, and loving to our sweet old boy, Poppy. We got lots of updates and pictures showing Poppy having the best time. 1000/10 would book with Jacklyn again. 😍”
“This was only our 2nd time leaving our pup since we adopted her. The first time (at a kennel) didn’t go well. A friend suggested Rover as an alternative. Lauren accommodated a last-minute booking, put our mind an ease, communicated promptly, and kept us updated while we were away. Thalia had a great time playing with her new friends and came home ready for a nap! Thanks, Lauren!”
“Our babies, Milo and Quinn, were so well taken care of while we were away!! Garrett and Maria are wonderful and we would highly recommend them! We could tell Milo and Quinnie had a great time - thank you so much!”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“Paco was tired after he came home from Tracy’s. He had a great time with his new friends. Tracy and her husband have a great way of helping the dogs acclimate to their new location. Thank you.”
“Christopher took great care of our cat. It was very easy to coordinate the schedule with him. He sent regular updates and shared photos with us. He also administered medicine to our cat in a timely manner. Overall, I felt very comfortable and at ease with my cat being in safe hands while I am away. Will definitely book with him again!”
“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!”
“David was awesome with Bubba! He sent constant videos so I always knew Bubba was happy and in good hands. He even managed to get him to take his medicine when it was being difficult, which I really appreciated. Very flexible with pick up and drop off times and super helpful whenever I needed anything. Would definitely recommend him and will be using him again!”
“Bayley was absolutely wonderful with our dog Koda! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us lots of updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is clearly experienced and comfortable with big dogs, and we really appreciated how compassionate, patient, and kind she was with our pup. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. We would absolutely recommend Bayley and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”

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.
