“First time having Megan care for our almost 3yr old Appenzeller, Kaipo. Very accommodating with our short notice request and quite proactive in learning about our girl in advance to ensure both her (and her pups) and our girl were setup for a successful visit. The first visit is often the hardest for a dog and Megan did everything she could to make Kaipo feel safe and kept us posted via texts & pics. Knowing your dog is safe and having fun is everything when choosing daycare/boarding.”


“Tessa was so kind to take Charlie in a fairly last-minute situation. She has a large fenced yard and Charlie seemed happy when we picked him up. She was very flexible when we had to change our puck-up time due to a change of plans. Thank you Tessa!”


“Jessica is amazing! She has walked Luke many times in the past and we always had a great experience with her. This time we were going on vacation and took Lukie to her for boarding. She was really great! Kept me updated the entire time and sent me pictures and videos, Luke had an amazing time and even became friends with her kitten. I would definitely recommend her. I was at ease knowing Lukie was well taken care of. She treated him like if he was her own pup.”



“We had a quick out of town overnight stay in Bridgeport, and the hotel we were staying at didn’t allow pets. Tiffany was so accommodating and made it so easy for us to leave Charlie with her! Her yard is a wonderful fenced in playground for the dogs and her home is clean and lovely. I’m so glad to have found a sitter for our mini golden doodle for when we come to visit! She’s fabulous and Charlie loved her!”

About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals!

I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs.

I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of different dogs, senior dogs who need extra care, puppies who need basic training and hours of playing, and calm dogs who wanna watch the evening news with you, I will treat your dog like they’re my own and I’m confident in my ability to treat your pet in the special ways they need. I’m currently working two days a week, which means I am very flexible with pet care, and would love to do what I can to help my community! I have a 6 month old puppy who’s never met a stranger, he loves to play and we’ll make sure they get their energy out. Your pet will be allowed on furniture and treated as my own.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, training puppies and older rescues alike. I’ve also taken care of kittens and cats, lizards and even ducks! I’m currently in school which occupies my Monday from 1-3 as well as my Tuesday-Thursday. Fridays and weekends leave me open to care for your pet all throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard and walking trails through the woods behind our house that I like to use for our dog to explore and receive plenty of sensory stimulation. I’m very active and enjoy bringing along furry friends for my adventures. My dog and two playful cats will be sure to help entertain your pets!

About: I've spent several years caring for pets of all kinds, from dogs and cats to rabbits and birds. I know how to handle their needs, whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or just giving them lots of love and attention. I've also learned to recognize their behaviors and moods, so I can provide the best care possible. I will send pictures so you know they're safe and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part-time. I am available Saturday-Tuesday for pet sitting, walking, play-dates from 7am-11pm. I’m here for whatever you and your beloved pets may need. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow a structured approach based on the specific needs of the pets. Here’s how I do it: 1. Routine: I establish a daily routine that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to keep the pets comfortable and secure. 2. Feeding: I ensure pets are fed according to their dietary requirements, whether it's dry food, wet food, or special diets. I always check for any allergies or specific instructions from the pet owner. 3. Exercise: For dogs, I take them for regular walks and play sessions to keep them active and engaged. 4. Grooming: I perform basic grooming tasks like brushing & bathing as needed. 5. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on the pets for any signs of illness or distress and make sure they take any medications if required. 6. Safe Environment: I create a safe space by removing any hazards and ensuring that the pets have a comfortable area to relax. 7. Socialization: I spend quality time with the pets to keep them socialized and happy, providing companionship and affection. I also have 2 dogs of my own to keep yours company! 8. Communication: I maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are happy and well-cared for. This approach ensures that pets feel loved and secure, whether they're in my home or theirs!

“Megan is awesome. Maverick always comes home healthy and happy and settles right back in at home. She’s responsive, flexible and sends daily pictures and videos. We are SO happy we found Megan to watch Mav when we travel.”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have watched over more dogs than can count. I also have three dogs of my own at home and one dog I take care of full time I am a full time college student and can be gone for a few hours for classes during the day, but I am home often other than school and the gym, so I am able to provide adequate attention for your fur baby! I currently don’t have a roommate, so it is just my fur baby Oreo, a 6 year old Boston Terrier, and myself! Occasionally we have guests stay over.


About: I’ve been a dog mom for almost a decade. Have two pups of my own and enjoy playing with them in our big open yard. I am currently a stay at home mom so caring for dogs is already built into my day because I have two of my own. We treat dogs as part of the family. They interact with us throughout our home and everyday life. We have a lot of wide open space outside to play as well.

Smithville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michaela was absolutely amazing to work with!! She was so kind and patient, even when our plans changed a billion times 😂 She was so flexible with drop off and pick-up times and helped me get the appointment set up correctly. She was amazing with our puppy too! Gave her lots of cuddles and sent frequent updates about how her day was going. She even tried to hand feed our dog when she was still a bit too nervous to eat and gave her a bath when she had a little accident. We don't travel much but we will definitely reach out again when we do!! Thank you so so much again!! 🩵🩵
