“Elizabeth continues to be a huge help getting my puppy’s energy out when I work! Aspen was initially very reluctant to walk on roads around our house but Elizabeth has helped her be more comfortable and confident on her walks. I also appreciate the updates and pictures!”
“Rachel has been waking our dog on and off for about a year, and she is always reliable! She is helping to train our pup to walk better on a leash. We highly recommend her as a dog walker!”
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: Growing up around pets gave me a special interest in caring for animals. I have pet sit for many family friends over the years, and am eager to find new clients. I adopted an adult cat this year and have absolutely fell in love with being a cat mom. I have experience with a variety of animals and dog breeds. I look forward to picking up tasks such as pet-care, and general household upkeep. If your dog tends to get cooped up, I also enjoy doing additional park-walking destinations, and car rides. I have a very flexible schedule, and reliable car; so feel free to reach out with any last minute questions/requests. :) I have quite a flexible schedule, so it is likely that I will be available for drop ins, house sitting etc on a moments notice. When house sitting/dropping in, I love to spend quality time with the pets. Frequent outings/walks, naps/cuddles, brushing, grooming, baths, swimming, and whatever else is a typical part of the pets routine.
About: Experienced Veterinary Technician with 5+ years experience offering professional services such as dog walking, drop ins and pet sitting (other services available upon request. Ex Nail trims) Associates degree in Veterinary medicine. I am a full time veterinary technician at a local animal hospital so pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. With flexible hours including most weekends mornings and evenings whether it’s a quick potty break or extended playtime, I make sure each pet’s needs are met with reliability and attention to detail. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I maintain their pet’s familiar routine, offer companionship, walks, and playtime, and make sure food, water, and any medications are given exactly as directed. My goal is to make the pet feel secure and cared for, while giving owners peace of mind knowing everything is handled responsibly.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.

About: I have 5 years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them both equally. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats, due to this I can handle different animals and different situations as well! I am currently working part-time, but I currently have open availability due to it being the summer months and not having college classes at the moment. When I am taking care of pets I make sure they have enough of food and water before leaving the house, and if they need to be in a certain room of the house or in a crate I make sure they are secured in that area of the home.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I have 2 pets of my own. I feed and take them on walks every day I have 2 pets of my own. A dog named Reese and a cat named Sawyer. I am able to come to someone's home also. I also work in the evenings Wednesday through Sunday so I am able to care for animals in the mornings and all day on the days that I am off from my regular job which is Monday and Tuesday. If you need an overnight sitter I can do that as well. My schedule at work is usually 7 hrs and I would be able to come stay a night after I get off work. We can discuss that at a later time upon booking if needed. I take my dog out on the leash because of the place that I live at doesn't have a fenced in yard. Watch them closely when not on leash. I also have kennels that can separate them if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,135 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 Smithville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Smithville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
