“We had a wonderful experience with Ashley. She took care of Prue, our 1.5 month old baby while we travel outside of the Country. She kept us informed the whole time, sending us picture, texts and videos of how well Prue was doing. Ashley is amazing!! She care and loved Prue as if she was her own and she is also very friendly and profesional. We could tell Prue had a fun time with Deiga, Ashley’s dog and now Prue’s BFF. My husband and I feel very lucky to have found Ashley. We highly recommend Ashley and will definitely use her service again if need it.”
“Patty did a fabulous job of watching our dog, Tucker. We appreciated that she was willing to meet us prior to our stay. She did a great job of providing lots of pictures throughout our trip. Patty made Tucker right at home and he looked so comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely recommend using her and plan to use her for future trips!”
“Lindsay And Christian were just great with Khaleesi! I was so nervous, leaving her because she’s never been boarded before, but once I met Lindsay and spoke with her, I felt confident that she was in good hands. It is so nice to know that I have somewhere that I can take her if we have to be out of town.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“10/10 would recommend Rebecca! Our dog Ace had such a great time at her house. I know he was in such good hands and we will definitely be using her again the next time we go out of town!”
“Catherine took great care of our puppy and her pups are the sweetest! She made sure our pup got to meet her and her dogs in advance and our pup was excited to go stay which is great since she’s a little shy. We’ll definitely have Mabel go stay again!”
“Taylor took great care of Gizmo! Taylor sent regular updates keeping us posted on how well he was doing. Gizmo really enjoyed his time there and felt like a part of the family. We highly recommend Taylor!”
“Samantha is an excellent dog sitter! She invited Honey and Walter over for a meet and greet a few weeks before the boarding date for everyone to get acquainted. The pups settled right in and enjoyed their time. Samantha checked in regularly and sent pictures to show what they were up to. We will definitely board our dogs with her again!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She was super communicative about Ruger and sent amazing pictures and videos along with the updates. He was so happy and came home zonked! She made the overnight process much easier and brought me ease while I had a long shift. I will be booking again!”
“Jack loves Laura and her house. She is friendly and warm and Jack runs into her house to see his friends. I have appreciated using Laura’s services because she is kind and caring to my dog.. I continue to use her above others bc I always feel Jack is safe, loved and cared for!”
“Angelica was super responsive and sweet! She made sure Coop was comfortable with his first night away from home. He was worn out from all the playing when we picked him up! Definitely recommend for your pups!”
“Huge thank you to Sharon and Glen for welcoming Kyla into their home! They took great care of her, sent pictures daily, and they were excellent communicators! Our 16 year old girl will be staying with them again!”
“Ellie was BEYOND AMAZING. I've never left my dog (baby) with ANYONE other than close friends or family, and i'm very anxiously attached to her. I was very very nervous leading up to my trip, but the second my boyfriend and I met Ellie, we felt 10000 times better. She sent me so many photos, and kept me up to date on everything. The photos really made me feel more comfortable during the trip, I could tell she was very happy and comfortable. Also, anytime we leave Baby she almost always skips her lunch. Baby was eating both meals every single day which was a huge sign to me that Ellie made her comfortable and at home. I would recommend Ellie to everyone!! If you have any hesitations, set up a meet and greet and you will feel at ease the second you meet her. I can't thank Ellie enough, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to enjoy my vacation due to my worries but I wasn't worried for one second while I was away. 1,000/10, will be using Ellie in the future <3”
“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Jenneth and her family watched my two dogs for a week and they were awesome! I received regular updates and photos. My dogs loved playing with her dog. I was especially thankful for her fenced-in yard and allowing my dogs to be on her furniture. I received photos of my dogs snuggled-up to her kids which brought me joy. I would use Jenneth again.”

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.
