There are plenty of dog owners in my area so you don’t have to worry about anything, we’re a big community!
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!
About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry friends for over 10 years. I even take care of cats and dogs professionally as a kennel assistant at an animal hospital! I'm a college student who works short hours part-time (at an animal hospital!), so I can always check in with your pet(s) between classes and before and after work! I can leash walk multiple dogs if needed, crate cats and dogs, and of course play with them for as long as they will have me!
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a young girls. I’ve been a reliable pet sitter for family and friends for many years. I have two pets of my own, so I will make it my priority to treat your pet like family. I am a full time student with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of free time both on weekdays and weekends to be able to care for your pets! I prioritize being able to let your pet stay where they feel comfortable. That is why I think it’s best for me to travel to your home. I want to try and keep your pet on their normal schedule.
About: My name is Tyra . I love pets. My family and I have always had animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, a bird, and even a squirrel. I absolutely adore animals and I’d love to be able to play with and spoil everyone else’s pets as well. I love playing with both cats and dogs. And I love petting them and keeping them busy. I would take them outside when ever they need it and feed them. And I’d be happy to go by any special rules or guidelines you needed me to, whether they were for the pets diet or exercise or anything else you needed. I’m currently a stay at home wife so I’m always available to play with and take care of your precious fluffy and furry little babies. I have an unfenced yard so I have to use leashes. I’m perfectly fine with pets being on the furniture and on the bed. They’re a part of the family.
About: Since I could walk, I’ve had animals in my life. I’ve helped care for animals of all kinds ranging from fish, cats and dogs to chickens and horses! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am currently off work and have open availability to take care of your furry friend(s)! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I will get back to you ASAP! Currently, I have 3 cats, a Chihuahua and a 30 gallon fish tank. As far as my cats go, I feed them canned food and have dry food out regularly. They have yearly vet visits and I keep them up-to-date on boosters. My cats are enriched with cuddles, playtime and scratchers in multiple places throughout my place. They love to be brushed often as well. My dog, Butterball, has his nails filed as often as needed and he loves cuddles under the blanket while watching tv. He goes outside on a lead multiple times a day. My fish tank is cleaned and maintained biweekly. I also always have spring water on hand to keep water levels appropriate.
About: I've had pets my entire life- my family wouldn't be complete without my fur babies! Growing up we've had labs, a very large hound mix, and a golden retriever. I got my own dog, a black lab mix, when I graduated college and had her for 14 years until she passed 1.5 years ago. I adopted a stray American bulldog when my lab was around 3, and had her for about 8 years, until she passed. Don't currently have any pups, but I love them to death. I'm able to feed, water, brush, walk, play with, and even bathe them if needed! Hoping to add more puppy kisses to my life! I'm currently between jobs and looking to do something I enjoy on the side, so taking care of your cute critters is ideal! My daughter is at school all day and I have my own vehicle, so I'm happy to drop by your place and help out while you're away. I'm more than willing to accommodate any needs you may have when it comes to your pets. Please let me know how I can make you more at ease! Whether it's a certain thing you need me to do, sharing your cat or dog's likes or dislikes, or just wanting a check-in with a quick photo of Fluffy, I'll do whatever I can to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!
“Noah was amazing. He accepted the booking last minute very graciously as we had an emergency out of state that left us in a position to leave our sweet pup alone for two days. He took the time to allow Chai to get comfortable with him and took him for a walk each day so Chai wouldn’t feel so isolated. Noah allowed us to handle a family emergency without having the additional worry of our pup.”
About: I have always love all kinds of animals since I was little. Im hoping to get my some soon when I get my own place. A lot of people always told me that I'm an animal whisper because a lot of animals really trust me more than others. Owners have told me how amazing it is to see their fur babies trust me and let them pet them when they normally don't let anyone pet them. I am currently looking for a part time job right now. As I am a Caregiver working through the weekdays. I am sure we can talk more about the days and times that work for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your amazing animal! I have a fenced yard, and two cats that will make sure your animals have companionship! In this house we spoil our animals and your animals equally with lots of treats, cuddles, and playtime!
About: I have gained the reputation in my neighborhood to be the one to call for any pet needs. I’ve taken care dogs, cats, even chickens and I love every second of it. I am currently a college student and I am taking classes over the summer. I am basically free all the time and I am able to schedule my week around pet care. I have pets at home so I will not be able to bring animals into it. I will care for animals at the clients home, allowing the animal to be comfortable in its own environment.
About: I have grown up with a love for animals and am currently in college to become a Veterinarian. I have grown up around all sorts of pets which includes cats and dogs. I have been dog sitting/ house sitting for around 5 years now and currently work at a boarding kennel. I take care of all different types of dogs throughout the day which involves playtime, going outside, bathing them, along with feeding them and giving out medication. I just really love animals! I’m currently going to college so I’m available outside of my class time. My class times do vary throughout the week but I have a large range of availability. I am super flexible and have a lot of free time! In a clients home I usually am provided with the information on a pets feeding schedule and the do’s and don’ts. I will provide your pet with a lot of love and care and make sure they are taken care of. I make sure they aren’t alone and get lots of time to run or just take a nap!
About: I have adopted several dogs from shelters over the years; all being larger breeds like German shepherds / shepherd mix as well as being both elderly and special needs dogs. This means I have experience in giving dogs medication, and giving them extra attention for any needs they may need. While they have been elderly that didn’t impair them for going out on long walks, or being large strong dogs; making me confident in my ability to safely walk almost any dog outdoors. While I've done a lot of stuff with older dogs that doesn't stop me from being able to keep up with a young energetic pup either! I have also helped out several friends with pet sitting their dogs many times. This has also given me experience in dealing with nervous / anxious dogs and their needs. I work a job that allows me to work from my (or your) home on most days and have no other set obligations. I do not have a job that comes with surprise emergencies, so once I agree to a time, I will be able to make it. You know how to take care of your pet, it's my job to imitate that while you are gone so they can feel safe or less anxious while you are away. With my experience with shelter adoptions, I understand that some pets may need special care and feel up to most such challenges. Honesty is my policy. While I don’t expect it, if there is something I am uncomfortable with, a task or sadly your pet and I aren’t compatible, I'd clearly say so at our first meeting allowing you the time to search for other options.
About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

I’d prefer if you was in or close to Muncie as I’m still slightly new to driving! Either leave a note with the instructions or in a text is fine! I will always provide my phone number for any and all visits!
About: I have owned dogs of various breeds for 30 years. I have assisted a breeder in birthing litters. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs. I'm retired so my schedule is extremely flexible. I'm willing to walk or play with your special pet during mornings, afternoons or evenings. This is indulging something I love. I have lived in a variety of situations. I have owned a dog with a fenced back yard. I have owned a dog in a neighborhood where we had to walk the dog and cleanup after the dog while walking. I now own an indoor cat, so I know about cleaning litter boxes, having fresh water, and feeding.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Smithfield on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Smithfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Smithfield.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
