“I hit a home run with Shima! I have an 8th month old German shorthair pointer with high exercise demands daily. Shima was looking to gain knowledge in this field and has been walking, running and training my pup for a month now 2-3 times a week. She does an exceptional job with him and is patient to his needs! Working with a GSP can be one of the toughest breeds to work with. I come home and my pup (Troy Aikman) is happy and relaxed! I work a lot during the week so it is relieving to know he is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Shima for your needs. Troy lights up with energy when she shows up! Thank you Shima!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 20 years. I’ve watched multiple friends and family dogs for them. I’m an animal lover.

“This was my first time using Rover. I can’t recommend Jessica enough! My situation was a little different; we are visiting family in Marble Falls but my husband and I spent a few days in Austin and needed someone to walk our dog. We didn’t have personal interaction with Jessica but my mother in law did and said she was very polite and professional. So much so they she shared her information with the neighbors. Thank you Jessica.”

About: Hi, I’m Britt! Caring for animals has always been a source of peace and joy for me. I’ve been fortunate to care for both people and pets ranging from infants to furry companionship,but there’s something special about the unconditional love and trust that animals offer. Over the years, I’ve gained experience through hands on pet care and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I supported the well being of dogs, cats, and other rescues. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them the attention they crave, I treat every animal as if they were my own. For me, it’s a passion that brings balance and happiness to my life. I’m excited to provide attentive, thoughtful care to your beloved pets!🐾✨ My daily and weekly schedule revolves around ensuring pets get the love and attention they need while balancing their routines with my own. Each day starts with feeding and hydration, followed by engaging activities like walks in the morning or exploring nearby parks. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to interactive games and mental stimulation, such as puzzles or sniffing activities for dogs, and playful toys for cats. I prioritize keeping track of each pet's unique needs—whether it’s medications, exercise preferences, or calming techniques for nervous pets. Home visits allow me to adapt to their environments, offering tailored care that mirrors their usual habits. My goal is to integrate their care into my routine seamlessly, balancing work and personal time with being their reliable companion. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, along with a cozy area for resting. Their feeding and exercise schedules will mirror their normal routine as closely as possible, and I'll provide enrichment activities like interactive toys or sniffing games to keep them happy and engaged. For pets who need a little extra attention, I offer calm reassurance and maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help them feel at ease. In the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and sense of familiarity. I’ll follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs or medications. I also keep the home clean and tidy, ensuring that toys, bedding, and food areas are in good condition. If the pet enjoys walks, I’ll take them out exploring, providing physical activity and mental stimulation. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, as if they were with a trusted friend.
About: I have experience with fostering dogs rescued from difficult situations. I am very patient and can handle a lot of energy. I love animals of all sorts, and I can work with each pet with consideration of their specific needs. I work remotely, so I'm able to really attend to any pets in the home and to integrate them into my day. My apartment has a great dog park and my neighborhood is great for walks as well. My schedule during the day allows for me to go for short walks in addition to 1-2 longer ones. I would treat any pet as my own. I feel lucky to get to spend time with them and I know being entrusted with someone's pet is a big deal.
About: I work at a beauty college from Tuesday to Saturday 8am-5pm. I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals.

I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays
About: I have worked with small dogs and big dogs and nervous dogs- I have owned my own doggo (a shih tzu bichon mix for 10 years) since I rescued her from a poodle shelter. I have worked as an assistant training emotional support animals at a rehabilitation facility (: I would love to hang out with your doggo babies when you need me! I am an early riser and work part-time in pet care. It is my primary job- I have regular clients that are my own aside of rover so my calendar on app may be inaccurate. In the clients home- your pet(s) are my first priority and my second priority is your home. Boarding at my home- your pet is still my first priority!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,485 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Smithwick. 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 your Smithwick. 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 Smithwick 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 Smithwick. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
