“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Lindsay took great care of my dog while we were on vacation. Her communication was excellent throughout the process. My dog was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would absolutely book again.”
“Isha and Great took great care of our little dog recently. She came back happy and tired, which means they gave her a lot of love and attention. They also provided updates daily with photos. Highly recommend!”
“Mackenzie is a lifesaver. I had to book with her last minute as a new client due to a cancellation of another sitter. She watched two of my dogs over a weekend in her home and she was so easy to work with. She responded to my texts very quickly and sent pics of my dogs. She even sent a video of one of my dogs in the backyard playing with her dogs. She was having a blast playing with the others. And my other older dog enjoyed himself inside as well where he is happiest. I will definitely be booking with Mackenzie again.”
“Laura was awesome. Our dogs were so spoiled and loved going on walks and snuggling with her. Super close to the airport to droop off and pick up were super easy. We will use her again !!! She even sent them home with their own little blankets.”
“Catherine was great! She is super friendly and loving! My doggie had a blast hanging out with her. She keeps you at ease by providing cute picture updates and funtivities that your furry friend is doing. I definitely recommend her she’s great, I’ll definitely be going to her again!”
“Eric and Kristy took great care of Koka. We appreciated the personal care she recieved. The photos and updates were great. She seemed comfortable. They even helped her through her first night when she was feeling some anxiety sleeping at a new house.”
“Gizmo is so at home with Rebecca. He feels just like one of the family with her. We are so grateful to have a sitter who takes such great care of him! Rebecca is excellent!”
“Angelica was great to work with. We had a pre-meeting at her home to introduce my dog to her pets. She made sure her pets were secure when we arrived for drop off and gave my dog time to settle in. She sent regular updates and pics. She even sent us home with a clean dog pen. Will definitely use Angelica again and recommend her highly!”
“Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and had a great experience with Sharon and Glen. They took good care of Razzy, provided regular photos and updates and responded quickly to all of my questions. Will book with them again in the future.”
“Nathen cared for my dog Yuki for a full week of overnight stays. Yuki came home happy, relaxed, and adjusted well, which is always my biggest priority. Communication was fairly minimal—just a few brief updates and a short video—so I would have loved a bit more detail during the stay. Nathen mentioned Yuki can be a bit jumpy/excited (which tracks—he’s a friendly, energetic dog), but overall Yuki seemed to have a positive experience. Thank you for taking care of him!”
“Laurie has been doing drop-in visits for us for a while but recently took my dog for several nights of boarding. JoJo is a senior dog with some anxiety that can require extra attention (and a healthy dose of patience). Laurie communicated with me throughout the stay about how things were going, and even threw in some additional remedies of her own to help JoJo get settled in. You can tell she is invested in your pet's well being and provides quality care.”
“Lona and Alan are very professional, great communicating throughout Dexter’s stay and welcome him into their home❤️ Thanks for taking such great care of him while we are gone!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Smithville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Smithville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smithville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Smithville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Smithville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
