About: This is my job. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies when you go outta town and I want to be able to provide comfort and care for your animals while you are gone. I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matters. I make sure they get plenty of pets and attention. I don’t let their water run out and refill as much as possible especially during summer. I am understanding and patient with animals especially if they have high energy and need to be outside a bit more than others to get some exercise/ energy out. I care about animals period. I have a pretty big range of experience with different dogs. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time different sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat (my baby she lived a very long life 19 years) I have taken care of a diabetic dog also. I got a puppy 8-weeks who is now 5 years old which he is a husky so very energetic and talkative. Taken care of giving elderly dogs medicine. I communicate pretty well. I also make taking care of your fur babies a priority. Thank you for choosing me! I can house sit and stay overnights if needed. I will make taking care of your fur babies a priority and treat them as if their were mine. (I have a husky) If you do a drop in visit I will be there longer than just 30 minutes. I don’t like to leave my baby for more than 4-5 hours max. That’s why I offer going to drop in 3 times. I don’t mind traveling to make sure your fur baby is taken care of throughout the day. I can take your fur baby walking giving them water and some love. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go and watch them outside you never know what could happen. I will update you as much as you would like.

About: I’ve been loving and caring for dogs since I was young, and am currently raising my own three: Jax, Chihiro, & Delta. I’m also experienced with cats through informal care of outdoor/community cats. I’m known to be attentive & reliable, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I’m currently working full-time, (9-4:30 Mon-Fri), but I have availability from 6-8:30am & 5-11:30pm Mon-Fri, and 5am-11:30pm on the weekends. I listen to every pet parent, noting down important information that’ll help me provide the best care to their pets. I ensure that the environment is clean and safe to roam, food is provided correctly, and that the pet is given enough love and attention.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 16 years old. I have experience caring for many of my mom’s friends’ pets, including staying in their homes and making sure their pets are well taken care of. I usually stay anywhere from 3 to 14 days, depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I currently work part-time at a barber shop while attending college. Even with my busy schedule, I will always make time for your babies and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pets like they are my own! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I also give pets plenty of attention and make sure they get the care they need throughout the day.

About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.

About: Homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and love for animals! I treat every pet like part of the family—with patience, love, and gentle care. I’ve been around animals all my life. My husband is an experienced dog trainer. We would love to love on your babies while you enjoy your time away. Pet sitting fits beautifully into our daily rhythm, and your pets will be loved like part of our family. Being home most of the day lets us give extra attention to your babies! I’d be happy to help with pick-up and drop-off if needed. I’m flexible and can work around your schedule to make things easy for you and your pup! Just let me know the times that work best. We have a fenced-in yard, two sweet, friendly girl dogs, and one gentle elderly male dog. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will have lots of love and attention. Having a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play will give your babies the care and attention they deserve! Your dog will be in my home, where they’ll be spoiled, loved on, and treated like family. After some fun playtime outside, the cuddles happen inside—your pup will have a cozy space to relax and feel right at home.

About: I have taken care of animals since the age of 12. I have experience with a wide range of pets including ,but not limited to cats, horses, small dogs ranging from chihuahua, Yorkie, and pomeranian. To larger dogs like German shepherds, Rottweiler, pitbulls, and great Pyrenees hurding dogs. I also have a history of equestrian work with horses so it's made it easier to handle larger dogs. All pets deserve to be pampered and treated like family. Every time no excuse. I am a stay at home mom so I have no schedule to work around. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How each pet is treated will heavily depend on the owners wants and the pets needs. I will do my absolute best to keep any discussed expectations met. And I will always make sure I do what I can to help the pet have fun and be safe and comfortable. And for house sitting my goals are to meet all expectations discussed before hand and make someone's life just a bit easier .

About: I've frequently house- and pet-sat for family friends and their three dogs. I love taking care of your animals as if they were my own! Also, I love taking and sending photos, so you will feel confident that your furry friend is happy and healthy! I have experience fostering dogs and cats of all ages and administering medication when needed. I am a teacher, so I currently have all weekdays free this summer. I'm a new teacher, so I currently have free time on weekdays and weekends. I'm in school for teaching, so if I'm house-sitting, I may need to step out for about 2 hours for school, but otherwise I'll be with your pet. I dedicate as much time as possible to your pet to ensure they are comfortable and well cared for. I am flexible and will adjust to meet your needs! During the school year, I can come in the afternoons, holidays, and weekends. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I will follow your rules or steps so you can feel confident that they are getting what they need. I’ll send many pictures so you can see your fur baby!

About: I have loved dogs all of my life and have always had one. I connect with any and every dog that I come across. When you are away I want you to have the peace of mind that someone that cares is taking care of your dog. Your dog is apart of your family, and I will treat it like that! I am able to walk all sizes of dogs, and have experience with many large breed dogs. I prefer to take care of bigger dogs, because that is what I love to do. I have experience with labs all the way up to Great Danes (my favorite)!! I currently own a Great Dane who gets along with any dog. I work full time during the week, but am home most weekends. When I am home, 100% of my times will be devoted to your pets. I have a fenced in yard that is .5 acre. Dogs will have plenty of room to run out energy. Dogs are allowed on furniture.

About: Hi! My name is Madeja, and I honestly can’t imagine a full, happy life without pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked in education and the nonprofit sector since 2015, so patience, responsibility, structure, and clear communication are a big part of who I am. I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I’ve had pets my entire life, starting with my first dog, Gin Gin, a Shih Tzu, and my second dog, Biggie Smalls, a toy poodle. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for many animals, including Chance, my Shih Tzu of 13 years; Malibu, my pit bull of 13 years; Newman, my cockapoo of 12 years; and Nacho, my cat of 4 years. I currently have a Frenchie puppy and a 5-year-old Frenchie/Pug mix. I also have experience with a variety of breeds, including Dachshunds, Rottweilers, Collies, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and more. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I have house-trained my own pets and taught basic commands, including some sign language cues. My approach is patient, positive, and loving. I believe pets thrive with consistency, kindness, and someone who truly pays attention to them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, structure, or just a calm and caring presence, I will treat them like they are my own. I also run a babysitting business where families can book me online, so I understand how important trust, reliability, and communication are when caring for someone you love. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and hope to hear from you soon! Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have two dogs of my own. My day naturally includes feeding, walks/potty breaks, playtime, cleaning, cuddle time, and keeping pets on a consistent routine. I’m comfortable adjusting to each pet’s schedule, whether they need structure, extra attention, medication reminders, puppy care, senior care, or just companionship while their family is away. I’m flexible, communicative, and will make sure your pet gets the care, patience, and love they deserve. Your pet will be treated like family in my 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a backyard, living room, kitchen, and dining room. I provide a calm, loving, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision, plenty of attention, and space for pets to feel comfortable. Depending on their needs, pets will have independence in a pet-friendly home, while still being safely monitored and cared for. I have two friendly dogs, but I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, so I can separate pets, use crates, provide quiet space, and follow your preferred routine as needed. I keep water available, monitor behavior closely, and pay attention to eating, potty habits, energy levels, and mood changes. My background in education and caregiving has taught me the importance of patience, safety, consistency, and clear communication. Your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Smiths Station on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 627 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Smiths Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Smiths Station 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 Smiths Station 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 .

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.

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.

To find sitters in Smiths Station with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smiths Station. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 sitter.
