Having Marsha care for our pets has been a god send. She is attentive, reliable, and patient. It was a great peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands while we were away. Will definitely be contacting again the next time we are away.

Hope was wonderful with our two neurotic cats. She helped to keep them on their schedules with separate feeding preferences and our home was perfect when we came back. Thanks!

Ella was so good with our elderly dog. We are so glad to have found her. She spent more time than any other sitter we’ve had. I highly recommend her.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a child and raised two dogs from small puppies until they died at the ripe age of 14 years. I have 14 years of experience taking care of dogs. During the weekdays I work as a teacher at the local high school, so I am unavailable during the day until about 4:30 PM. In the evenings I can walk your dog, go to your home to check up on your dog, and over the weekends I can dig sit for you if it's needed. I live in a building that does not allow pets, so you can't leave your pet at my house to be watched unfortunately. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work as a high school teacher during weekdays but am available in the evenings and weekends. Normally I'm out of school by about 4:30pm. Please ask me about taking care of your dog during holidays. I'm often free to care or your pet full time then. I'm very attentive to how dogs communicate, and do not let them out of my sight when walking or dog siting them. I follow owner instructions such as what time a dog needs his medications exactly.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was little. Having pets in the home growing up shaped who I am today, and I am able to grow bonds quickly with practically every animal. No animal is too big or too small, they all deserve the best love and care we can offer! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! From early morning feedings or late night potty trips, with enough notice I can help whenever! I have two large dogs who I take care of every day. We have a fenced in yard but I’m always keeping an eye on them when they are outside. My older dog has medical needs so I am experienced with medication schedules and keeping an eye out for side effects.

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: Today I am a professional body piercer at Atomic Tattoo but before I was graced with this new career, I spent my teens and early 20s taking care of all types of pets full time. I started at Petco when I was 16 where I got hands on experience with all different types of species. From there, I graduated into the Vet field starting off as a Kennel Technician. I quickly progressed my way into the management position, which eventually let to a Vet tech roll. Through this experience, I learned to understand animal behavior, pet safety, feeding and medication administration as well as scheduling and documentation. Since I’ve stepped away from the vet industry, I have stayed loyal to the families that had previously hired me for pet sitting while away on vacation. Through this, I’ve been given the opportunity to work and bond with their loved animals for extended periods of time. I hope that you take my experience into consideration when choosing your fur babies new sitter as I am eager to add another family into the pack. I’ve got lots of love to give and would be thrilled to give some to your baby. Im currently completely available Fridays starting as early as necessary till Sundays evenings or till necessary. I have reliable transportation and am also open to schedule drop ins during the evening on weekdays. I lost my sweet baby, Sam last year. I do not have a fenced in yard but my experience has shaped me into a professional dog walker. When I take care of my clients animals, I follow the instructions given to me so they can continue abiding to their normal routine. Overall, I’d be more comfortable with them staying at home as I believe that is where they feel the most comfortable but I am willing to work with you.

About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!

I am able to feed, walk, lightly groom, and provide general medical care.I was raised around K-9’s, being that my dad is a trainer, so I am very comfortable and confident in my communication skills with dogs.

Brooklyn is FANTASTIC! My dogs immediately fell in love with her. And my pit mix, Dash, who usually gives everybody a hard time (at least for a few minutes), was immediately jumping for joy around her. I think Brooklyn has some sort of magic running through her veins. I feel as if the dogs and I have hit the lottery with this great young lady. Thank you, Brooklyn, for being the awesome person you are.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Smithville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Smithville on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 317 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Smithville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Smithville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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. 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 .

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
