Top rated Smithville dog sitters

“Sterlin is great! Quick to respond, easy to talk to, accepted my last minute request. She was great with Merlin, kept me posted, send me lots of pics and I could see my dog loved and was having a fun time. I gave me a lot on piece of mind! I’m absolutely gonna book with her next time! Thank you Sterlin!”


“Tanya absolutely spoiled my fur baby. He enjoyed her visits and offered her head but and allowed tummy rubs. It was great knowing that he was in good hands.”


“Joanna was a wonderful sitter and a warn person! We were very comfortable and at ease from the moment we met her. We rarely leave our dogs to anyone, even family, but we knew they were in good hands with Joanna. I’d highly recommend her, she is a mature, caring and responsible person. We were visiting from out of town, but would definitely use her again if the opportunity came about!”


“Lisa provided excellent care for our cat Harry. Lisa is very punctual and thorough. Lisa arrived each day as scheduled and provided for Harry as though he was a member of her family. I will definitely request Lisa for future pet care.”


“James and his sweet family took excellent care of Maggie! I have never left her except with a friend who knows her well. That now will change as I feel so confident she was well cared for as the many pictures sent and neighbors commenting! One neighbor saw James wiping her paws before coming into the house! How awesome is James!!! ❤️”


“Thank you Breanna! It meant a lot that to us to have our kitties stay at home while we were away versus boarding them. She did great with our three cats, one is very social, one needed medicine and the third is your typical cat. I would highly recommend Breanna. Very easy to communicate with and could tell our cats we’re in good hands during the initial meet and greet.”


“Courtney is a hard worker and has a great connection with dogs. She is sometimes what I call a dog whisperer since they all read her as well and know she means well. Even some more temperamental dogs warm to her easily. She would be a devoted care giver to any animal she was charged with.”

About: Dogs and I get along very well. I’ve had dogs all my life, and I have been responsible for their care and training throughout their lives. I have also gotten a lot of experience doing photography with dogs, which can be difficult, and I worked at green leaf pet resort taking care of dogs in a laid back but structured environment. I love taking care of dogs, and as I am not in a position to own a dog currently due to my living situation, I would happily share my love of animals with your dogs, seeing that all their needs are met, and that they are truly living their best life. Please reach out to me if you want someone who will truly put your dogs needs first. Thank you My schedule is flexible but requires creativity. I am always happy to find time to take care of someone’s pups. I love dogs more than jobs Generally dogs get along with me immediately, but for any who require a gentle touch or are nervous, I take the time to show them that I’m a caring friend.

“Erin was kind, punctual, and very responsible! Oliver and Dodger loved when she came over and we will definitely be booking her again when needed!”


“Keira has a kind and loving heart and cares deeply about all animals. Her experience comes from working in a pet shop for several years and caring for her own pets. She is extremely knowledgeable and can care for dogs, cats, reptiles, bunnies and fish. She is very responsible and respectful and will take great care of your family pet!”

“Elizabeth was my first rover sitter and I was so so impressed. She came over A-day early to meet my animals because my dog can sometimes be difficult around new people. Very patient and loving with him and when she did her drop in she would send me loads of photos videos and a written report on what happened during the visit. She was amazing with my rat Zin and the kitties and her videos always made me laugh. She was a previous vet tech at my vet so I felt very reassured of my zoos care of something should happen. She is wonderful and I had such peace of mind leaving my animals in her care. 15/10 stars”


“Andi did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Maven, who is a large breed & hyper ball of energy! Maven can be quite a handful, but Andi managed him so well. His patience and understanding of Maven's high energy were impressive, and I could tell my dog was in great hands.”

“Sydney has taken care of our now 5 year old Australian Shepherd since we brought him home as a puppy! She is very caring and responsive. Our dog looks forward to her arrival!!”

About: I work with dogs and cats at a pet groomers. So on my time off I love caring for them by waking and pet sitting. I work part time and I am in school. My hours right now are pretty flexible but I would say afternoons usually work best for me. I have a fence yard so pups can play outside. I have two dogs of my own. If a dog needs to be crated I own a couple of crates that vary in sizes.

“I found Adriana to be a genuinely concerned, personable and intelligent sitter/companion to Kali ( the Calico) while I was away. She made it a point to befriend Kali and sent pictures every time she visited. I will definitely ask her to sit, the next time the need arises.”


About: I am experienced in administering medication, special grooming care(eye cleaning for Persian cats) special requests are welcome! Whatever your pet needs to be happy and healthy! I am a full time medical assistant working in ophthalmology. I am also a lifetime animal lover. I enjoy supplementing my income by caring for fur babies in my area. I am a drop in care provider usually doing a visit in the morning and then again in the evening with more open availability on the weekends.

“I have known Lauren for over 4 years and it is a honor to watch her be the voice for animals. I have witnessed 1st hand Lauren stop in the middle of the road to save dogs who were lost and in our last neighborhood she provided safety, shelter,love, food and water to 15 plus cats who had no homes. Lauren also played a part and participated in helping eliminate cats being born without a home by helping to catch and get them neutered. It is a honor to witness the passion and love that Lauren has for all animals and I can honestly say she is a person who you can definitely trust to care for your fur babies.”

“Victoria was great with our large dog. She always sent photos and made sure he was taken care of over the holiday weekend. Would definitely use her again!!”


“Cassandra did an awesome job taking care of our Lucy! She wasn’t feeling well and Cassandra made sure she had all her meds and did the best job checking in on her, especially last minute of a holiday weekend. Will definitely use her again!”


About: I love both dogs and cats having owned both either in the past or currently. I have delivered and raised 6 litters of puppies. I have dog sat for 2 summers during college for a high school teacher, looking after and providing medication to dogs while she was away for summer vacation.Over the course of my childhood and adult years, I have cared for 5 dogs and 1 cat at home. Currently, I have 3 dogs at home that I care for. I currently am looking to provide mainly dog walking and pop in visits daily during weekdays and weekends. I am flexible on times and scheduling for services. To care for my pets, I usually walk them at least twice a day, make certain they have food and water available to them, and dog pads are present in the house in case they need to use the bathroom before they are let out into the backyard. If their feet get dirty outside during walks or playtime, I wash their feet when returning indoors. I make sure they are brushed at least 2-3x a week and bathed once every 3-4 weeks. My dogs do not require medication but in the past when I did administer medication, I made sure it was given exactly as needed and at the correct times of the day. If any dogs require any special care, I just would need to know beforehand so that I can give your furry friends the love and care that they need.
