Alix was really great with the cats and even got our shy babies to come out and say hi everyday! She left lots of pictures and also tended to the house by bringing in mail and packages etc. I would definitely book with Alix again!

Heather helped out on short notice for a drop-in visit to let my puppy out and give her a walk. I have used Heather multiple times and she is always dependable. I trust her with the care of my puppy and my cat who needs insulin shots and some snuggles. The house always looks great after she house sits which is fantastic to find after a long trip.

5/5 Stars “Stephanie S. was an absolute lifesaver while I was away! She came every day right on time as scheduled, no exceptions. She always sent the required pictures, which gave me such peace of mind seeing my dogs happy and well cared for. She played with them, gave them plenty of love and attention, and most importantly, she handled Jerry’s insulin injections perfectly. As a diabetic dog owner, finding someone reliable and skilled with daily injections is crucial, and Stephanie was spot-on following instructions to the letter with no issues at all. Stephanie is incredibly versatile, knowledgeable about dog care, and extremely dependable. She truly treats your pets like her own. I will definitely be hiring her again (and more frequently) as my work travel picks up. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, skilled pet watcher especially for dogs with medical needs Stephanie is the one! Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up I do not remember a moment that my family did not have an animal in our household. I used to always want to spend my time with animals and always had that option. My mom was just as obsessed with animals as I was. There was a point in time that we had two cats and five dogs in the household. I love the connection that people can build with animals and the care that there is for each other. With all of these animals in our house, I got pretty accustomed to washing, feeding, walking, playing, etc with them. My stepdad bought a Rottweiler puppy when I was a teenager, so I was able to watch how he trained the dog and the phases they go through as puppies. Although, I do not own an animal of my own at the moment, I always enjoyed the times when my life had an animal in it. I would greatly enjoy to help others contribute to taking care of their animals with the extra time I have. I currently work part-time as a server with a flexible, open schedule. I would love to spend my free time giving love to all animals. I have a schedule that would allow me to be available to give care to your animals with walks, attention, feeding, and much more! Currently, I live in an apartment complex that does allow pets, but do not have any of my own at the moment. I have dog sat my family's animals for over the past few years, dealing with multiple dogs at once, cats, senior dogs. I would love to expand beyond my family's animals.

About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I have just recently moved back to Missouri from Bozeman, Montana and am always looking to stay busy with side jobs on my time off. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.

Robin is so sweet and our Bear just does so well with her. He is usually very shy, but seems to have warmed up to her quite easily. We can't thank Robin enough for the time she spends with him nd the care she gives.

About: I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs! As long as I can remember I have always had a dog in my life- whether it be a family pet, a farm watchdog, or a herding dog for our cattle! I love all breeds and will do my very best to provide trustworthy care for your loving pet! I will treat and love your dog just as if it were my own! I have a toy Australian Shepherd named, Wren who is 8 years old and since I didn’t think 1 dog was enough, I got another Australian Shepherd who’s name is Piper and she is 6. Piper warms up to any dog and loves to make new friends! They both would give me 5 stars⭐️ Can’t wait to watch your pets! I currently work from home 2-3 days a week. When I’m on the road or in office for work, I typically get back home around 6:00 pm but have a very flexible schedule and can be home earlier. I have a fenced in yard and my dog Piper gets along with any dog! They will have a blast playing with each other! I will love and care for your pets just as they are my own.

Stephanie was an absolute ROCKSTAR! She provided an extremely high level of care to our two cats, who are suspicious of people. By the end, they were cuddling in her lap. The cats were provided with daily clean food, water, litter, treats and play time/snuggles. I’m pretty sure they were more disappointed to see her go vs us be home again. :) Thank you again Stephanie for the daily updates and photo slideshows to brighten our day. You eased my nerves, I had never left on vacation yet with our kitties, and it was the best time for kitties and myself!

About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Smithville on Rover is $16.65 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,044 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smithville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 cat, 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
