About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.
“I waited until the very last minute to book sitter for my 3 dogs and two cats. Ansley was able to squeeze me in and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She routinely checked in and sent me pictures of how the fur babies were doing each time. I will definitely use her again!”
“Our fur babies were exceptionally taken care of. We got videos and picture updates which offers a peace of mind when we’re gone. So thankful there are good people out there like Kierra.”
“Ashly was great with out 3 dogs! She checked on our boys frequently during the day and then stayed in my guest bedroom overnight. We requested that they sleep in the bed with her and she didn’t mind at all. She was even prepared to take them to the tornado shelter one night. I would recommend Ashly and I will be using her again (:”
About: I have had had dogs my whole life, but I have solely cared for a dog for the past 5 years, who is no longer with me. I have watched and walked dogs for friends and neighbors for years. I am experienced to care for dogs of all sizes and ages! I am currently in medical school. I have some mandatory morning classes, but most of my schedule consists of at-home classes and self study at my own pace. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly neighborhood that is great for walks. I have room in my house for a crate, or for them to roam and sleep wherever they would like!
“Tasia was FANTASTIC. Our dog got sick while we were gone (we think separation anxiety), and she was so sweet and took great care of her. She went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and kept us very well updated. When she came to meet our dog, she was immediately comfortable with Tasia. I would definately recommend her to anyone!”
“Taylor was great! We were worried about leaving our cats for so long, but she kept us in the loop the entire time. One of our cats needs to be medicated twice a day and it seems like she was well taken care of. Very glad to have found Taylor.”
“Emily is a treasure. She's such a natural. She took care of my 2 large dogs for over a week- they immediately adored her. My vacation was so much better not worrying about my floofs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smith Village
Seras watched our two shepherds and our home while we were away and she did an awesome job. She stayed with them whole time and gave updates throughout our trip and she even cleaned up a bit which was so appreciated not coming home to mountains of dog hair. We will definitely be booking with Seras in the future and would recommend her if you’re looking.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Smith Village walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Smith Village maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Smith Village choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
