About: I’ve spent all of my life with a passion for animals and grew up taking care of pigs for 4-H and FFA as well as riding and caring for about 16+ horses since I was 10 years old. I took veterinary college accredited classes in high school and have owned and cared for 3 dogs over the years. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats but I can take care of them in your home if needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a baby on the way in September. I’m am always at home unless I’m out grocery shopping or out at dinner with my fiancé. So I have plenty of time to care and love on your fur baby and make them feel right at home! I have no pets in the home currently and I would only be able to take your dog on walks and around the property to use the restroom as we have no fenced in yard currently. They will be inside most of their stay. When pet sitting at your place I can most of anything that is needed. I do not have a crate available at my house currently so if you would like your baby in a crate or kennel, you would need to supply that as well.
“This is the first time we ever left our rescue dog in someone else’s care. Missy did a GREAT job with the drop in visits for our Chloe! She connected with Chloe right away and loved on her. Seeing her pictures and reports gave us peace of mind. Thanks Missy!”
“Chynna did a fantastic drop watching our beagles over the weekend. She sent plenty of pictures and was very prompt with her check-ins. She is very personable and we would definitely recommend her!”
“Autumn is a lovely person and trustworthy pet sitter for our two cats. She clearly loves animals and does a great job of following our instructions. We are grateful for her help and will definitely ask her back again!”
“Angela is the real deal. If you want someone who is flexible, attentive, and treats your fur babies like royalty, look no further. She was quick with questions/responses, arrived and left our home on time, and met the social and health needs of our dogs brilliantly. We felt at such ease having her with them when we couldn't be, and we can't wait to book her again!”
“Alexis was so wonderful to work with! Very responsive to all my text. I felt very comfortable having her drop in for my three active fur babies! I will definitely be asking her back again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. As an owner of an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, I’m especially comfortable with dogs that require lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I’m comfortable: * Administering oral medications * Caring for senior dogs with special routines * Managing high-energy breeds * Following detailed care instructions * Safely introducing and separating dogs when needed * Providing individualized attention based on each dog’s personality and needs My goal is to give every dog a safe, fun, and relaxing stay while giving owners peace of mind through excellent communication and dependable care. I work from home full time, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, regular exercise, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I do my best to maintain your dog’s normal routine, including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime schedule, to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home offers nearly an acre of securely fenced outdoor space where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. As the owner of an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, I’m experienced with high-energy breeds and understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and carefully following any special care instructions. If needed, I can safely separate dogs during meals, rest time, or throughout their stay to ensure everyone is comfortable. I treat every dog like a member of my own family and provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smithville
Nina was fantastic! My dog can be a lot to handle but she was so kind and caring. Nina definitely went above and beyond and I can tell Birdie liked her. Birdie typically has some separation anxiety and having someone to check up on her, feed and walk her helped immensely. Highly recommend Nina to keep your fur babies happy and safe! :)

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
