“It was more than a year since we had to board our dog. Jan was great and accommodated a different pick up time. We love that she has a fenced-in yard and limits the number of dogs boarding. We would definitely book with Jan again and would recommend to others.”
“Denise treated my pups as her own. I am truly happy I found her. They loved her and came home very spoiled. Couldn't have felt better about leaving them with her for the week. Thanks again, Denise!”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.
“Kim was amazing! My dog is a little anxious and has some quirks, it’s a little hard to gain her trust but Kim definitely did! We got pictures throughout the stay and she was extremely nice, I would recommend her to anyone!”
“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”
“Karrie was absolutely amazing. Luna stayed there for 10 days. She always responds to messages quickly and sent picture updates of my dog all the time. She knew exactly how to take care of Luna and I would absolutely go back to her!”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.
About: I've had pets for the last 15 years. I'm an active dad who loves walks around town with my own dogs, I am more than happy to walk yours also. Our pets are up to date with vaccines and I keep clean water bowls daily. Feel free to reach out to me with your questions, I'll be happy to help. I am a stay home dad and I take pride in running my house accordingly. I'm an active runner and walk ours dogs often so they don't get anxious and i play fetch with them daily x3 at least. I have a schedule for feeding times to maintain appropriate weight goals for our pets. I have a fence backyard with space to play fetch so we don't have to find random parks on days that are too hot or too cold. However walks are a must for the dogs social development. Walk time vary depending on age, size and capability of the dog. I keep the AC or heat on according to the season.
“Kateri was such a great caretaker for our guy, Ted! She updated us with pictures most days and let us know how he was doing. Kateri and her family treated Ted like was their own. We are so glad that we found her! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Joanne was so nice and made us feel so at ease. She was very responsive, kind and trustworthy. We highly recommend her and would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“This was our first time boarding our 1 year old puppy and Kristen was so great with her! Luna typically has very bad anxiety and she got acclimated quickly. Kristen was able to administer her daily anxiety medication and help with potty training. I felt so relieved knowing she was in such great hands while we were out of state!”
“Ashlee was so great with our dogs! She kept us updated with pictures which we really appreciated as we knew our doggies were very happy! Ashlee even cut our dogs nails!!! We definitely recommend Ashlee and will def rebook when we need someone!”
“Jared was awesome! He was easy to communicate with, and responded very quickly! We were traveling and he was so accommodating to our schedule. He sent pictures of our guy which made us so happy because we missed him. Walter was very happy and comfortable, We would highly recommend Jared! Thanks again for taking care of our pup!”
“Tony did a great job watching our dog Enzo! He made sure Enzo got plenty of play time and lots of water, and lots of trips outside!! Enzo looked content when we went to pick him up, so that says it all. Would highly recommend Tony as a pet sitter. Thanks again, Tony, for taking such good care of our boy!!”
“Best and most caring family!!! They took such good care of Beau. They sent so many pics and videos! I don’t think he wanted to leave! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation!”
“At the most opportune moment I had the good fortune to find Katherine and John to take care of Beeto, from his expression I can say that he received a lot of love and care. He certainly had a great time.”
“Tyler was friendly and professional to both me and Bailey. Bailey is a active 2 yr. old and Tyler seamed up to the challenge. He also has ample room on his property for outdoor activites, yet he still took our Labrador Retriever to the dog park. I give Tyler A+. If the need arises again Tyler will get the NOD.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 218 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithville. About 93% of Smithville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
