“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”

“I have lost track how many times we have had Carmen watch our baby girl. Carmen is wonderful with Dolly & is very tentative with her. She keeps you updated on your baby & treats as her own. We feel comfortable leaving Dolly with her & have the peace of mind knowing she’ll be ok. Of course we’re going to keep booking with her & we highly recommend her ☺️.”

“Estefania took wonderful care of our two pups, Dulce and Millie, while we were away for several days. She was fantastic with communication and sent us photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Dulce and Millie enjoyed their own little vacation! Estefania clearly loves animals, and it showed in the care and attention she gave them. She was also incredibly easy to work with, and her convenient location made drop-off and pick-up a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely trust her with our babies again. Highly recommend!”

“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”

“Kayla is amazing. She watched two of our precious dogs and they were never lacking for attention. Normally after a trip my dog Scout is mildly traumatized as she has separation anxiety. When I picked up my pet, she was happy and calm. I'm leaving Scout with her again for a extended trip with no misgivings.”

About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.

About: We wanna watch your sweet baby!!!!!! I love and understand dogs so that means I won’t derail your dog training. I trained my dog to be so polite that she now weaponizes it against me lol. I know how frustrating it is when you go out of town and come back to a slightly worse behaved dog so I will make sure to continue your typical rules while you’re gone. I also have a great backyard for them to go run around and play, your dog (and me) will have so much fun!!!! I only watch 1 dog at a time. I have a medium sized dog and her best friends are always tiny dogs. Your tiny dog will be the boss of my dog. I work from home, we go play dog soccer in the backyard multiple times a day. My dog like to chill in the yard and stare at birds, I mostly let them go out whenever they want Your dog will get physical AND mental stimulation! A tired dog is a good dog. They will get to go potty as many times a day as they want, as I work from home. I have a fenced yard, I have a crate if you choose that for your dog.

FAQs for Boarding - Smithville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Smithville on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 192 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Smithville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

97% 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 TX 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.
