About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 13 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

About: I have owned pets since I was small and have been pet sitting professionally for 5 years. I am completely trustworthy in your home and with your pets. I will do all tasks to your specifications and understand that each pet owner has their unique way of doing things and will keep it the same. I will keep your house very clean while you are away. I wash pet dishes each day, change all water dishes each day. I am up for walks and playing with toys and will give as much petting as your pet prefers. I will keep you in close contact with daily updates and photos. I am fine with senior dogs and giving medication as well. I am a mom with grown children out of the house and will be solid for you. I have a flexible schedule and will work with your preferred times for me to come. I don't do overnight stays (but can recommend someone who does) but can come several times a day if that works for you and your pet. In your home I will always check that all doors are securely locked when I leave and always do a quick sweep of the home to make sure nothing is amiss and that the pets have not gotten into any trouble. I am completely trustworthy and would never take anything from your home or even look in your cabinets. I will keep your house clean, pet dishes cleaned each day, litter boxes cleaned twice a day, and anything else you specify for your pet. Pets will get my undivided attention while I am with them and utmost care.

About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional settings: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was very young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I will follow your instructions carefully, keep your home respectful, and provide regular updates and photos while you are away. I am currently enrolled in classes at IU, so Mondays and Wednesdays are my busiest days, although I am still available during those evenings. I have flexible daytime and nighttime availability the rest of the week, including weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I live in a comfortable apartment with convenient access to dog parks and several local parks for walks, exercise, and playtime. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and safety instructions while keeping pets comfortable and supervised. I will also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy.

About: I've had dogs and cats in my home since the day I was born. I've grown up taking care of our pets, as well as pets of family and friends. I will always give your pets tons of attention and love! I'm a college student with a very flexible schedule. I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

About: I love getting to know animals and learning about their sweet idiosyncrasies to create a harmonious environment where we can all be our best selves together. I have a Weimaraner-mix dog and 2 cats who I love dearly and spend all my free time with. I’m a responsible dog-owner and have experience with obedience training. I grew up with animals, so caring for pets is second-nature to me. I’m in between semesters right now and work from home so I have full-time availability to show your dog the attention and affection they deserve. I take my own pup to the dog park every morning for about an hour, and throughout the day we go for long walks around Bryan Park and spend time in my fenced-in yard. In addition to having a fenced in yard for your dog to play in, and I live in a safe, residential area where we can go for long walks. My dog, Nisa, LOVES other dogs and will undoubtedly show your dog friendly playfulness and generosity. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and the dogs are allowed to chill on the furniture. When I leave the house for short errands I don’t crate Nisa, however I have a large dog crate for your pup if that is your preference. I’m happy to maintain your dog’s feeding schedule and can administer any medications they might need.

About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Smithville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 344 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Smithville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Smithville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Smithville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Smithville. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
