About: I have taken care have so many dogs and ages since I was 10. My parents have always had 2 or 3 dogs and neighbors and other family members as well. I would love to just walk them around for hours on end and play with them. I have a lot of flexibility in my day. I’m a part-time job That’s also very flexible towards the end of the week and weekends works best because it gives me even more time to play with your fur babies. I have a backyard and lots of different walking areas to take your fur babies. I also have one dog as well that loves others . But she isn’t home all the time some weekends she’s gone.

About: I have had two jobs in different dog daycare/boarding places. I also have a degree in vet assistant. I have volunteered at the local shelter and love it. I am currently working part time and have usually plenty of time in the early morning or late afternoon. My schedule does change weekly so there may be days I’m more flexible than others. I have one sweet little pup who is in training currently. My favorite thing is just being able to cuddle with her and spend time with her.

“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”

About: I have always had pets in the household and have been responsible for my own. I have pet sit for others, love all animals, and will make sure your pets safety is my top priority. I'm currently a student but only have classes three days a week during part of the day. My schedule is very open and allows for a lot of time to look after pets! I live in an apartment and make sure all my pets stay indoors and would do the same while pet sitting. If I were to have a dog I would take them out frequently and give them the outside time they need!

About: Professional Care with a Nutritionist’s Touch Your Pet’s Wellness is My Business While many people on Rover are looking for a side gig, my entire professional life is built around the health and happiness of animals. As the owner and operator of Pet Wants Glasgow, I spend my days focusing on what makes pets thrive—from high-quality, slow-cooked nutrition to the importance of structured exercise. When I’m looking after your best friend, I’m bringing that same professional standard and specialized knowledge to your front door. Why I’m Different: Nutrition Expertise: I specialize in nutrient-dense diets and have a keen eye for dietary needs, allergies, and picky eater behaviors. Community Trusted: You may have seen me at Dennison’s Roadside Market or the Ace Hardware adoption events in Hart County, or at fundraisers in Bowling Green and Barren River State Park. I am a deeply rooted member of the community who believes in doing things right. Professional Reliability: Running a C-Corp means I value punctuality and communication. You’ll get consistent updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hands-On Experience: I've been a dedicated pet parent to six dogs over my life and have worked with a variety of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds to Toy Poodles. The "Premium" Visit Experience: Tailored Approach: I adapt my pace to your pet’s specific energy level, whether they are a high-energy athlete or a senior who just wants a slow sniff around the yard. Wellness Focus: Every visit includes a quick check on behavior, energy, and coat health. A Special Perk: With your permission, I’m happy to include a sample of our premium, slow-cooked treats from Pet Wants for your pet to try! "I treat every visitor with the same focus on longevity and vitality that I give to my own. Your pet's health is my business—literally." Hello! I’m David. Friends and family know me as Dwain, and my life is dedicated to the health and happiness of animals. As the owner of Pet Wants Glasgow, I don't just "watch" pets—I advocate for their total wellness. Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or a quiet cat check-in, I bring a level of professional oversight and nutritional expertise that most sitters can't offer. Professional Standards for Every Pet As the owner of a pet nutrition franchise and a C-Corporation, my approach to safety is built on professional accountability. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat my responsibility to them with the same level of care and organization I bring to my business operations. My Safety Protocols: Secure Transport: I use a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which is well-equipped for safe pet transport in various weather conditions and terrain. Structured Interaction: I focus on "calm energy" and structured routines to ensure pets feel secure and unstressed, whether we are on a walk or a drop-in visit. Knowledgeable Oversight: My background in researching animal behavior, nutrition, and husbandry allows me to spot potential health or behavioral issues before they become problems. Community Accountability: Being a local business owner in Munfordville and Hart County means my reputation is my most valuable asset; you can trust that I will be there exactly when I say I will.

About: My whole life I’ve always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped my family with our dogs from the time they were puppies. I’ve also had my own dog that had puppies and helped to raise them until they were able to leave! I currently work full time. I have 1 hour during the day and I’m done by 5 everyday! I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets after work, or when I’m off on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard at my apartment with plenty of room for dogs to run around! I do not have my own pets here with me currently so no worries if your dogs don’t like to be around other dogs! I enjoy taking dogs for walk and cuddles on the couch!

About: I grew up with animals and wanted to be a vet or caregiver. I have done Therapy Dog programs with Hospice and inbound elderly to bring the love of animals to brighten their day. I have adopted several adult rescue dogs, including Whippet and Greyhound breeds. As a child, I always had cats, including DSH and later Siamese breed. I support Adoption rescue and spay/neuter. I grew up on a small farm with cows, rabbits, and many visitors! I work remote from home weekdays and have a flexible schedule with more open availability on weekends. Conveniently located near Basil Griffin Park and Three Springs Roads. I have a 8 foot fenced yard, and have 2 fur babies (Shih-Tzu) that are very friendly. I live in a small residential community with various cul-de-sac streets safe for walking. I enjoy exercise and walking so incorporating dogs into that routine is fun and relaxing!

About: My name is Hana and I live in the Roundhill area, about a half-hour drive from Bowling Green, Morgantown, and Leitchfield. I have worked with animals my whole life and have been a Rover Sitter since 2022. I’ve worked with animals my whole life including working as a dog trainer, dog boarder and groomer. Animals, especially dogs and cats, have always been a part of my life and family. Every pet is an individual with different personalities, temperaments, and experiences. Working with me I use this understanding to care for each animal as the little person they are and specialize my care with compassion as a first priority for each animal I work with. I look forward to meeting your fur family! I am currently going to an online school so your pets and your needs are my 100% focus. I start each day by caring for my own animals and doing work on my computer and the rest of my time would be focused to Rover! Arriving at your home I will follow your instructions first and foremost. You know your pet better than anyone else and have tailored months and years of your life to their care. I will follow your instructions and offer the same love and care I do to my own animals to yours.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Smiths Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 93 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Smiths Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Smiths Grove 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 Smiths Grove 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Smiths Grove 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.

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.
