About: I've had two large-breed dogs for about 7 years. I'm experienced with their training, but also how dogs interact with other dogs and people. I'm familiar with walking large dogs and keeping them safe when exercising. I'm detail oriented, responsible and thorough. I am flexible with scheduling and have reliable transportation. I understand feeding schedules and can accommodate a schedule that fits your pet. I have availability during the week and weekend. Within my home, I have a fenced in yard, doggy gates and am always sure to keep their information up to date. I'm careful with closing doors and keeping pets leashed to make sure they are safe on walks. I'm aware to keep a safe environment and put food and other things they could get into away.

We had to go out of town for two weeks and leave our 13 year old lab at home with a relative. Sylvia came to the house to feed, give meds, take walks with her and give her the attention, that she craved. Sylvia sent us pictures and videos of their time together. She adjusted her schedule to give additional help when needed. We were at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Sylvia.

About: Studied at The Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute. I have previous experience working in a dog kennel at Sharon Center Veterinary Hospital. Am comfortable with injections and giving other forms of medication via pill and topical. I have experience working with nervous and excited dogs, young and elderly, even disabled. My number one priority is the animal's safety, after that it's all about When a pet comes to stay at my home they receive lots of belly scratches, the occasional treat (if you allow), and play time. My number one priority is safety, I have baby gates and unsafe items out of reach. I have two friendly elderly dogs, a cat, and two well behaved children. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate time each day for feeding, playtime, walks, and grooming to ensure my pet's well-being. In both my home and my clients' homes, I tailor my care to meet the specific needs of each pet. This includes feeding, grooming, exercise, and any necessary medical attention. I also prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for them to thrive in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a home with 3 dogs at all times. We have had a range of small pups, and also big/high energy ones like golden retrievers and huskies! I did obedience classes and shows with my Yorkee Poo for 4 years. I have provided dog sitting for close family friends for many years now, including walks, feeding, bathing, transporting (for a dog breeder), and boarding. I also raised five husky puppies, so I have a lot of experience with young pups, too. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home while starting my own business, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks any day of the week. I grew up with pets as a daily part of life, so caring for them feels familiar, natural, and genuinely fulfilling. Whenever I am caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow any specific direction given by the pet owners. Whether that is s feeding schedule, regular walks, cuddles, or crating, I always make sure to understand a client's expectations and take care of their animals with the same love and care that they would.

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat and take care and exercise them. I help my mom while she's sick walking and bathing her Pitt with severe separation anxiety. I love animals and have a soft spot for gentle giants. I am a stay at home individual and love to walk during warm days and take dogs to parks and play fetch. In the spring and summer months my dog goes to the dog park twice a week and gets his exercise. I wake up and take my 2 dogs bathroom and then they get breakfast and play then go out to the bathroom at lunch and get a treat when brought in. They play and lay around then at 3 go potty again and I feed them a little more to hold til dinner then at dinner they get one last feeding then at 9 go out one last time before bed.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Smithville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,008 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Smithville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Smithville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Smithville.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smithville. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
