“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start! I have owned animals all my life; birds, cats, dogs, horses, etc. I currently have a blue heeler/border collie mix but he’ll stay home during my walks with your pup! I’m available during the week, during normal school hours. I have a daughter in school so I need to be home in the evenings to help with homework, etc. I have one friendly dog that loves to have animal friends come play. I also have crates that can house small to medium sized dogs.

“Stella had an amazing time with Ashlie and Phillip! They are very comfortable with large dogs and made me feel so at ease leaving my pet in their care. Their home is perfect with a fenced in backyard and the entire family is used to having dogs around. I received picture/updates and had a wonderful experience! I will definitely be using Ashlie and Phillip in the future!”

“Anthony took great care of our girl for a long weekend. He accommodated a late booking request and meet and greet when our other sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. During the stay, he communicated updates and pictures to us daily. Our pup was spoiled with multiple walks per day and given lots of attention. We will be booking stays with Anthony again!”

“We previously depended on family, neighbors and occasionally a kennel for our dog when we were out of town or had long work days. We checked out Rover.com and pretty quickly found Jennifer just 5 days before a week long trip. She was very friendly and responsive and we had a good meet-and-greet at her house soon after. Our dog immediately liked Jenn and her dogs and her large fenced yard where he had a blast running off leash. During our trip Jenn took our dog on several outings to local parks and sent pictures and texts daily to let us know how well he was doing which was much appreciated. Our plans changed and we had to extend our visit by a couple days. Jenn was very flexible with the schedule change and with drop-off and pick-up times. When we picked him up, we could tell that our dog had been well cared for and that he liked it much better than staying at a kennel! Jenn was great and we will definitely contact her again!”

“Jessica has been the absolute best thing to happen to our family since relocating to St. Louis. We toured every boarding facility in the area, and I left each one feeling heartbroken. The tiny cages, constant noise, and extremely high prices were overwhelming, and there was no way I could leave our dogs there. Jessica cared for our two Australian Shepherds for nearly two weeks, and it was such a relief knowing they were safe, loved, and treated like family in her home. They also adored playing with her sweet puppy, Cooper, and all got along wonderfully. We are so grateful to have found her and could not recommend her more highly!”

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Smithton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 773 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithton. About 91% of Smithton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
