About: Recently relocated to Las Vegas and working to become a Vet Tech! Experienced with Pit Bulls, American Staffordshire Terriers, German Shepherds, American Bullies, and other high-energy breeds. Passionate about structured walks, canine behavior, safety, consistency, and dependable dog care. I work from home full-time, providing consistent, structured daily care. Back home, I was hands-on managing a household of five dogs, giving me extensive experience with pack dynamics, bully breeds, and individualized routines. Now in Las Vegas, my schedule is completely open to focus 100% on your dog’s specific training, behavior, health, and safety needs with patience. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their normal routine, including feeding, walks, and training, while providing structure, safety, and attentive, respectful care.
“DeHaven and Ashlee are Wonderful!!🤩 This was the first time I have left my kiddos with someone other than family. Naturally, I was a little anxious at the thought of arranging it, but that quickly changed once I met them. They took the time to do a meet and greet, and I was instantly confident in my choice and felt totally at peace. They are great with communicating, wonderful with animals (to include the outdoor feathered ones), went above and beyond and even sent pics to us while we were gone!! I just can’t say enough great things about them and the whole experience!! Will definitely use them again!! Thank you Ashlee!!😊”


About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life! I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I am patient and flexible! I am happy to walk pets as well as drop in to play with, feed, and entertain your dog! I am a teacher on summer break, so aside from my preplanned trips, I have very open availability for walks and drop-in visits! Feel free to message me about specifics. I will respect your home and your pup’s routine. Just let me know the basics and specifics of what your pup expects day-to-day, and I am happy to fill in!
“Avery is great!! She had excellent communication and follow-through the entire week of drop-in visits at my house. I loved the personalized notes/report cards she left after each visit. Avery is very trustworthy in your home. Her warm and calm demeanor is perfect for the care of your animals. I knew that my pet was in good hands from the moment I met her… This peace-of-mind allowed me to enjoy my vacation and time with my family even more - knowing my cat’s personal care was being handled with the upmost professionalism back home… I can always tell the level of care a pet sitter gives while I am gone, based on my cat’s behavior and stress level when I return, and my cat couldn’t have been more relaxed - like I never left! I would highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Smithfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Smithfield 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 sitter.
