“Wendy was great with my puppy! I contacted her very short notice and she pulled through, saving me. She was great with communicating, took pictures during my puppies outing, and kept me updated.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens while traveling throughout the South East. I graduated from Auburn in August of 2021 and since then I have been driving everywhere I can to take care of animals in new places. I have loved sitting in the Columbus/Phenix City/Smiths Station area and look forward to taking care of more fur-babies in my area! I would be happy to sit in Auburn or Fort Mitchell as well, anywhere within an hour and I’m sure we can work it out! I have provided care for all kinds of critters, big, little, elderly, sick, grumpy, and silly, (most of them are silly). I strive to be the best provider for your pet-loved ones! Whatever your animal needs, we can figure it out together! My weekly routine will be all over the place this summer, but I look forward to figuring out what will work best for you! Just let me know what you need and we can figure it out together. Sadly, I will be unable to allow pets into my home, but will be happy to commute and care for your pets in their comfort zone!
“Ansley, is such a caring and attentive person. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is genuinely concerned about your dog's well being. I especially appreciate Ansley taking time to play with my little "Diva" fur baby after their walks.”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
“Oh my goodness, my sweet babies were so happy with Rebekah. They looked so happy and ready to go for their walk. She kept me posted about the progress for eating and drinking as well as pee & poo. She also sent pictures.....so relieved that they like her!!”
About: Please make sure to read all of this!!! I DO NOT stay overnight for house sitting. I WON'T work with an aggressive dog. I do not go by she/her, I go by he/him. So please respect that. - We focus on the safety of your pets, I will do whatever is safest when taking care of your pet(s), even if that means having to cut a walk short. They're safety is my #1 priority.

“Heather was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She took great care of them, sent pictures, and was so easy to communicate with! I would absolutely recommend using her to watch your dogs!”
About: Im doing this full time. Im also doing this because I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matter. But since I’m doing this full time the only reason I wouldn’t be able to do anything would be if I’m already booked for that. I will also be available for Christmas and thanksgiving unless I end up getting booked. But letting everyone know in case they want to plan ahead! I always end up treating an animal like my own. 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 4 times. I can always adjust the price accordingly. 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 taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, but i also have experience with birds, snakes, rats, and rabbits. I’m also known as a cat whisperer and I use to walk dogs for a boarding facility. I also have fostered neonate kittens and waking up at odd hours to take care of a pet isn’t new to me. Pet care takes up most of my time in my home considering we have so many. It’s a lot of work but I don’t mind doing it I take care of my own animals every morning and night constantly. In the morning I’m use to feeding and snuggling my birds and letting them have free time in their own room. Of course take my dog on a walk and potty. I have an automatic litter robot for my cats but have years of litter scooping under my belt.
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’m training dogs under my licensed trainer for about 3 years now. I’ve also been a dog foster for about 8 years. Experienced with neonatal puppies All I do is take care of animals, there safety and well-being is very important to me. If I notice something unusual you will be notified!! I have a fenced in yard, two friendly poodles of my own. They can play inside or outside at my home. I will follow any instruction that the client wants for their animal.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up and I now have two dogs of my own. I have a german shepherd/husky and an Aussiedor. I’ve cared for other pets like birds, lizards, chinchillas, etc. I am currently not working so I have plenty of pet time. My dogs are taken out very often, and we go on long walk/runs at least once a day. We play a lot of fetch and tug-o-war! I have two friendly dogs that love to make new friends and my 5-year-old son is obsessed with loving on all animals so there is plenty of fun and love to go around for your fur babies in this home.
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, my family always had pets in the house like dogs, cats, fish, and even my sweet guinea pig cupcake. Because of that, I’m very comfortable around animals and extremely patient and attentive when it comes to all different kinds of pets. All pets are different with unique personalities and should be cared to just like us. I’m currently a full time student but I am incredibly flexible and available to care for your snuggly furry (or bald) babies! I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the clients home and follow the normal routine set in the household. I can guarantee feeding schedules, portion sizes, exercise routines, everything will be followed.
About: I have grooming experience, have large breed experience, and am willing to work with dogs who may be aggressive. Also willing to train for certain behaviors based on my own experience and your input. I will work with any schedule, 3rd shift workers or odd requests. I walk my dog 3 times a day, I use ‘sniff’ walks to keep him happy and calm throughout the day. I will ask many questions about how you train and keep your pets, as well as matching that style. I feel pets are a member of a family and I adore them as such, even if they aren’t mine.
“Madison is always prompt, even with last-minute bookings! She confirms quickly and follows instructions to the tee. I never have to worry when she’s with my pup. 10/10 – highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. I have volunteered at shelters for the last few years. I am comfortable with any animal if they are comfortable with me. I work full-time remote but I can easily work around my schedule. I am great for early mornings, lunch breaks(12-1pm), and anytime after 5pm. I have my own transportation so I can easily get to you. Care in your home is preferred, as my pup is still learning to be nice to other animals. This also makes it easier for your pets as they are already comfortable in that environment. I can feed, walk, and play as needed. I am also comfortable bathing your animals.
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.

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 Smiths Station. 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 Smiths Station.

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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smiths Station. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers 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.
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.
