About: I love pets with all my heart. I have two mini golden doodles right now but I want to grow my pet family later. I enjoy spending quality time with my pets, playing with them, watching movies with them, they are basically by my side all the time and your pets will never be out of my sight and will for sure have an amazing time and be safe with me! I am pretty open with my schedule at the moment and I am free whenever you may need me to watch your dog. I’m currently in online school to become a CMA so it works well with me dog sitting. It all depends on what my client would want for the pet. In my opinion every pet needs a different type of care of other pets. My doodles are very outgoing they love to play until they get tired but they always need to be by someone because they have desperation anxiety. So it’s a matter of listening to the owner and getting a understanding of what there pet is like and needs

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.

Casey was very sweet with my dogs. I really appreciate her patience with Lola especially because Lola is not easy when it comes to the leash.

Jasper is kind, reliable, and respectful of personal property. I was very nervous leaving our dogs in someone else's care, but Jasper took time for a meet and greet beforehand which really helped alleviate anxiety for myself and my dogs. It was also nice getting lots of picture updates plus potty and feeding updates as well. I would love to work with this sitter again in the future!

About: My name is Grace and I am a 19 year old pre med student. I am hoping to earn a little extra to help pay for classes! I have grown up with pets my whole life and have always loved having them around. However after my past dog Beau past away I felt no desire to have another but missed the affection so I would love to provide temporary care and love for your fur babies! I am currently a part time student and worker so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I am available anytime, any day for some extra care! I have a fenced in yard with a ton of room for running and playing. Along with a home they can roam about as they please! I can crate your babies if need be but it is absolutely your choice!

About: Hello, my name is Olivia! I've got a lifetime of experience with dog of all sizes and breeds; I've taken countless training classes with a variety of dogs and puppies which has developed my dog skills greatly. I currently own a 7 year old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix that is managing hip arthritis so I've become comfortable giving IM injections as well as oral medication. I also have a 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) that I have raised since she was only a few weeks old, so I'm very familiar with highly intelligent, high energy working breeds. I'm self-employed and work from home which gives me the flexibility to structure my own daily schedule. I do have kids, so I have to be home at minimum for a few hours in the evenings for dinner and bedtimes. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate your dog as needed if the kids or other animals in the house are too stimulating.

We had to use Jasmin last minute while wee were out of town . Choosing jasmin was the best last minute decision I ever made. She loved on our babies as if they were her own. Kept us updated with pictures and was very attentive to our fur babies needs. If I ever need another rover sitter in our area I would definitely chose Jasmin whenever she is available ☺️

About: Mom of 3 humans, 4 horses, 2 Large dogs, 1 rescue hen, 1 bunny, 1 turtle, 5 fish…. I’m sure it will continue to grow! 😂 To say I am a animal lover is a understatement. I have plenty of experience small and large animals. On top of walking/sitting I am open to help in any other way needed. I have previous vet tech experience, work part time at a farm and have volunteered with many different organizations in the past. Medications, special needs and bathing are all things im willing to add on and handle if needed. I am a mom so I’m almost always accompanied by at least one of my children who are all very experienced and helpful with sitting but will be supervised at all times. Please feel free to reach out to discuss specific rates. The rates listed are just a general idea but I base my services off of each booking’s requirements and location. I’m currently working part time at the farm but am able to work around almost any schedule! Feel free to message with any questions or concerns. I’m currently not set up to board in my own home but I guarantee to treat your home and animals as my own. I have a long list of references if needed.

About: After 19 years of living with large dogs, i've grown accustomed to their behaviors, living with German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Huskys, Great Pyrenees, and many others. I'm used to breeds that many people consider aggressive, though I'm also good with small dogs. Since I started pet sitting for neighbors I've been around chihuahuas, terriers, poodles, corgis and many more. I'd love the chance to meet your dogs regardless of how big or small they are! I work full time at a doctors office but I have a two hour break every day, from 12-2 so I've got time during work to hang out with you puppies! I get off at 12 of Fridays and don't work at all on the weekends, I would be available for your pets almost all day, available to stop by during breaks and spending evenings and early mornings with them! Due to my availability with work I am able to spend a lot of time at the house with the pets I'm watching. I spend several hours a day and home with the pets, spending time with them, playing outside and just hanging out together!

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 taken care of dogs since I was little. I recently lost my dog who was almost 16 years old. So I am used to caring for elderly dogs as well and the challenges that come with it like medications, helping them with stairs, etc. I really enjoy spending quality time with the dogs and keeping them company. It’s currently off season for my job so my days are pretty free. I am really flexible from May to Sept. I will do my best to be able to accommodate with your needs. I live in a home with a big fenced in back yard. I do not have any other pets at home so there’s no need to worry your pet does not get along with others.

About: I’ve had experience taking care of animals since I was a young child. Dogs of all sizes and energies and ages; cats, fish, rabbits (and other small animals). I have a lot of patience and love meeting dogs and learning of their personalities. I am absolutely thrilled to meet and take care of your pet! Hi my name is Dudley, I usually have an open schedule. I am flexible with hours and would love to help you with your schedule. So I understand a new environment for your pet might be a little overwhelming. I like to keep the initial introduction calming and bring your pets toys or dog bed into the new environment to let him/her feel safe. I do have other dogs but I have the ability to keep them separate if your pet doesn’t like other animals. My dogs have been vaccinated. I have a large back yard where your pet can let a lot of energy out and have a ton of fun! If I would house sit I would love an introduction. Usually a treat or two helps them feel calm around me. If you just wanted a walking service for your pet I would find a route near your neighborhood or apartment complex. I make sure to stay off the asphalt as much as possible. And in the summer I bring an extra water bottle with me in case they get tired.

Just let me know what you need!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Smiths Station on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 619 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:

  • 95% 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.
