“Stephanie was professional, knowledgeable and nurturing to our big baby German Shepherd. Throughout our 12 day vacation we received numerous communications about her health and wellbeing. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that our pup was being taken care. We highly recommend Stephanie and will continue to partner with her to take care of our most precious family member.”
“They were great with Addie. Addie was treated as part of the family. I would recommend Mark and Vicky to anyone who needs a dog sitter and wants peace of mind about the care of their pet while on vacation or any other reason.”
“Second time using Gail and she does a great job keeping us updated. You can tell she loves dogs! She watched our 10 yr old Pomchi for a second time and our 1 yr old Golden Retriever. We are already booking her again for next year’s summer vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“Nathan and Jenna we're great. The dogs got 24/7 attention and love from them, the other dogs and the kids. We'll be called them up again for the next time we need a sitter.”
“Our puppy LOVED staying at Cassie’s! Cassie was very commentating, kept us updated with pictures and was the friendliest! I can’t wait to book with her again because I know Lucie just loved staying with her and playing with her kids!”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“My dog always loves staying with Miranda when we are out of town! There is no one else we trust more to watch our dog! The process through Rover is always easy and Miranda is usually quick to respond. We would highly recommend Miranda!”
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“While Olivia was very glad to be home, I know that she was well taken care of while I was gone. Doug followed the feeding instructions that I gave him and I hear that she had plenty of walking. I hope he is available for future occasions when I am gone. I have already tipped him on pick-up.”
“Kristin and her family were a great fit for our 4pack of crazy. Everyone was happy and even a little tired on the ride home. A clear sign that they had been "living their best life" as fur babies. Highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future.”
“Kathleen and Nathan took excellent care of our dog. We were passing through the area on our way home from the east coast and needed a place for Dilly to get some exercise and play before we continued our trip. Dilly enjoyed playing in their large, fenced yard and had fun playing with their kids. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilly was happy and relaxed and ready to go the next day.”
“Bentley came home exhausted from having such a great time at Tiffany's. I think he misses the new friends he made. I was very hesitant about leaving Bentley with someone I didn't know, however, Tiffany made sure I felt very comfortable with everything. She was always available to answer any questions I had, took as much time as I needed to talk thru things, etc. The pictures that she sent really depicted what I knew his personality to be, which was awesome!! They weren't just random pictures to say pictures were sent. If/when I ever need another dog sitter, I would not hesitate in the slightest to contact Tiffany. I would have no doubt that Bentley would be in loving hands while I was gone. Thank you for making this first time dog sitting experience a great one!!”
“Last minute booking and Jenna accommodated us. Nice big backyard. There was some bad weather coming and she asked how my pup handled storms. Very conscientious and made me feel more relaxed about leaving him.”
“This was Stitch's first time staying somewhere that was not my home or my parents. He seemed to have a great time. Heather was great giving updates and sending photos while we were on vacation. They also accommodated as Stitch is an 8 year old boxer that does not like to be bothered by puppies or extremely energetic dogs. They ensured us he would be the only dog staying there. As soon as we walked in the kiddos stayed seated and waited for Stitch to go say hi to them and were very well behaved. Even with extreme anxiety both the dog and owner Heather helped us to get through our first trip away from one another.”
“Leo came back even happier before he left and Anita made sure my Leo got his meds and fed when he was supposed to. She is very caring and loving towards my dog and her own as well. I did not have to worry about anything while I was away on vacation. Thank you Crystal”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Smithville on Rover is $31.03 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
98% 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 OH 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.
