About: I have had dogs all my life. I have experience with working breeds such as german shepherds and corgis. I have experience taking care of exotic animals as well such as rabbits and frogs. I have experience with cats of all different sizes and ages. I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and ages as well. I love animals and will treat your animals just like family. I am currently transitioning to making this my full time job so I am able to do this any day and anytime of the week. I ensure all pets needs are met whether it be making sure they are taking a specific medication or something as simple as making sure to take them out every couple of hours. I want to make sure that any pet in my care is being well taken care of.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for as long as I can remember! As a teacher I show care and responsibility for tiny humans and as a pet sitter I will show the same for your animals! I am a teacher. Nights and weekends work best for me to sleep over! I can be at your house right after school and give them the love and attention they deserve! I will make sure your pet is well loved and well walked! I love walks and will make sure your fluffy friend is given lots of pets!
“Jenny was great!!!! This was a very last minute need on Labor Day weekend and she came to meet my girls, bonded with them instantly and came by twice to walk them and spend some time with them so we could attend an event - she kept me posted and sent me some adorable photos during her stay! It was such a relief to know they were well cared for so we could attend our event! The only concern which is not directed at Jenny at all was that when I first put the inquiry in for pet care on Labor Day weekend, the app never mentioned anything about holiday weekend fee of $50 per visit - I am very new on this site and had no idea until Jenny came to visit and we went forward with booking and at that point I didn’t have any choice - that said, it cost me $150 when I anticipated $50 which was a total bummer! Jenny is wonderful , warm and trustworthy and I will definitely use her again!!!!”
“If we could give Naomi 10 stars we would!!! Naomi is such a caring, thoughtful, and dependable person. Our experience was great, Naomi took such care of our two kitties and went above and beyond providing constant updates and pictures putting us totally at ease while we were away. We HIGHLY recommend Naomi!”
“Lauren visited my cats over a weekend away. She followed instructions I left, took it upon herself to change the water bowl I left for the outside critters during a heat wave, and won over my scaredy cat. I am very pleased and will book her again.”
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”
“Thank you for taking care of our baby and for making schedule changes on such short notice. Everything was smooth and luna would love to have you visit her in the near future.”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages at a shelter, I’m good with all ages and work with the dogs at their comfort versus having them conform to what I want them to do. I’ve administered medication to dogs both older and younger and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make you feel at ease about your dog being left with me. I am currently in school from 830-3 I can provide care from 330 and beyond depending on what you need. Weekends I am home all day and if your dog enjoys it I can take them hiking to the park ext. As I do live in an apartment that isn’t fenced in I can’t let them run around In a yard, but I have plenty of space to walk dogs or run with them if they like as I am very active. If I am in your home I will make sure your dog feels as safe as possible with me being there as well as providing you comfort.
“I'm so grateful to have had Sade watching my pup while I was out of town! She was super flexible and made herself available when I ended up needing to add several days to the booking at the last minute. She sent me awesome pictures and updates at every single visit. My dog can be quite anxious and reactive, especially with strangers, and it was clear from the meet and greet we did as well as all the updates I received that Sade was confident, patient, loving, and attentive and, as a result, my pup was completely at ease with her. I highly recommend her for any pet care needs you have!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets from pit bulls who need more socialization to cats who are shy and have special needs. I’ve learned to have more patience so I can really get to know how each pet behaves. I’m always available to drop in during weekdays from early morning to afternoon while I’m still working out a more consistent schedule with my part-time job, but I will always make time for a furry friend in need! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. Dropping in to your house will be no issue, I’ll make sure everything stays as it was, if not better!
“I am so incredibly thankful for the care Lisa gave to my two cats while we were out of the country. Not only did she come every day and spend time with them around the same time every evening, she also brought toys for them to keep. She made sure they had food, water, and clean litter every day. That’s beyond any service I was expecting and appreciate it immensely. Also, as a cute little added touch, she gave me painting with the same shades and colors on my boys coats. I would recommend her to anyone and trust her with my pets if we need to travel away again. She’s incredibly nice and trust worthy, anyone could trust her with their fur babies.”

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Smithville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
