Personalized care for your dog or cat - Smith Mills
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Smith Mills
“I was thoughly impressed with the care and love that Heather gave my baby girl. This was our 1st time ever leaving her and even though it was tearing us up inside, we had comfort knowing that we got multiple daily pics of her having fun with the other dogs and cuddling with Heather and her family as well. If we have to use this service again, I will definitely be going back to Heather.”
“Amanda was great. She kept me updated on how my pups were doing and took great care of them. One of my dogs has a lot of anxiety, and she was able to work with him and accommodate his needs. I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Lynanna and family have a safe and loving home. She is flexible and works with us on our pick up and drop off times, which is important to us because our schedule is always changing. Highly recommend!”
“Debbie and her furry family was wonderful with Max. Lucy, Zoie, and Harley were great companions during his visit. Debbie provided plenty of updates with pictures and a video of Max playing and simply chillin in the house. Debbie truly loves animals.”
“My dog came to Shelly after a serious injury she nurtured him back to help give him all his medicines, including his painkiller. She kept me updated and sent me videos to ease my heart.”
“10/10 recommend! She was very friendly. My dogs seemed to be very well taken care of. She sent pics and gave me updates. I will definitely be using her for all my future bookings. Thank you so much for caring after my babies!”
“Raechel was amazing with my dogs. We got daily pics and sometimes twice a day! One of my dogs was on medication and she made sure he got them on time. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Michelle is amazing, not only a great person and loves dogs, very down to earth, she is very responsive, gives great updates with pictures so you can see how your babies are doing. She has the sweetest little Yorkie for a playmate. She was willing to keep your exercise and feeding routine going to the best of her ability. We absolutely loved her and will be using her services again.”
“Our pup was so well taken care of! We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. Deb and family looked after our dog as if she was their own. Highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was young. I’m trustworthy and focused on keeping your pet comfortable and safe. I am unemployed so I'm free all weekdays. I do go out on weekends though, but can still care for your pet when needed. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are very playful and good with other animals. I also have a house with a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve fostered co-workers, family members, and friends pets all the time!! I genuinely love being around other animals and Making sure I can help them feel the most comfortable and energized while under my watch 🙂💛 I will always have an OPEN schedule unless I am booked with another client. I will be able to take care of any fury babies anytime 🙂 I provide a safe, loving, and supervised environment for every pet in my care. Front and backyard for outdoor play! I always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. If needed, I can crate your dog and ensure they have a comfortable, stress-free space to relax and feel at home.
“I’ve never trusted a dog sitter more! Josh communicates well and has a big heart for dogs. He has been available on short notice on more than one occasion and I am so thankful for that!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, and always had pets in my home! I am a huge huge animal lover! We currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 bearded dragons, chickens, ducks and rabbits. We love all animals! I have been a Stay at Home Mom since my girls were born. Now that they are older, I’m looking for new things to do that I enjoy, and can still be around for my family when they need me. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs run and play in, a detached garage with an attachment. Inside the attachment there is a couch, TV, AC, and heat, with plenty of room to run around and play! It makes a nice little hang out spot. We come out here to play and run around at times. There is also a security camera in the attachment as well. Dog must be potty trained, and good with other dogs and cats. Please be honest, so it won’t cause conflict while taking care of your baby and others. If we take care of larger dogs, they will stay in the attachment and not in the house.
“We were first-time users of Rover.com and this was the first time we have left the critters for a vacation…it’s an understatement to say we were nervous!! Alyssa was fantastic with both the pups and with us! Her calm demeanor was so appreciated and she definitely knows her stuff when handling anxious fur babies and their nervous owners…now that we’ve been back a couple of days, I’m pretty sure my female is pouting because she misses Alyssa and her puppies! We will definitely book with Alyssa for future pet-sitting needs and I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, loving pet-sitter… she will put your mind at ease and your pups will love her!🐾💙”
About: Now accepting summer boarding, holiday bookings, 4th of July coverage and vacation stays! I bring 13 years of professional animal care experience, including roles in general practice, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and lab diagnostics. As a former vet tech, I’m skilled in medication administration, symptom monitoring, and anxiety management. For the past three and a half years, my husband and I have run a private, in home doggie daycare and overnight boarding service. We offer one on one play, a spacious quarter acre fenced yard, and a secure clean cozy indoor space tailored for comfort and enrichment. With no other pets or children in our house, and the luxury of us both having a schedule that allows us to be home full-time, your pup receives our full attention and supervision 24/7 and they’re cared for like family. Doggy daycare and boarding is our full-time focus, and we’re home 24/7 to provide attentive, personalized care. Each day begins at 8:00am with one on one enrichment play in our spacious, fenced backyard. We avoid group play for safety, only allowing interaction between bonded pets. This approach lets us welcome dogs who may not thrive in traditional daycare settings. After morning play, pups rest before and after meals to prevent bloat, then enjoy relaxed indoor time on our cozy futon or human sized dog bed. Outdoor breaks and play continue throughout the day until dinner at 5:00pm, followed by evening rest and a final potty break at 10:00pm. All dogs are monitored via live feed cameras, ensuring constant supervision. Our goal is to make every stay feel like a safe, joyful home away from home. If you require greater than 8 hours of doggy daycare, pricing will go up to reflect the number of hours needed and the level of care we provide as well as your dog or puppy's needs. Your pup will enjoy full access to our home’s main floor, outfitted with baby gates, plush dog beds including a human sized one for large breeds or bonded pairs and sun bathing areas by large windows perfect for lounging. During the day, dogs are never kenneled unless we need to leave the home for a short period of time and can freely explore both indoors and our spacious, fenced backyard filled with squirrels, rabbits and birds to chase. At night, all pups sleep safely in kennels, monitored by a live feed camera system that streams directly to our phones. We welcome dogs of all ages and sizes. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we’re happy to answer any questions during your meet and greet.

“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
“Evelyn/Evie did a great job taking care of my 3 cats while I was out of town for 8 days. She even managed to get Gandalf's daily steroid medication down! She sent frequent pictures and videos of them including when Mimi and Gandalf would sit on her lap in the recliner. I highly recommend Evie to pet sit your furry companions.”
“Everything went very well! I think the 2 dogs and cat missed her visit the few days after we returned. 🤣😂 Grace will be caring the our pets again in the near future and I have no reservations and I know all 3 of our pets will enjoy her living care!”
“Alyssa did an excellent job caring for our dogs while I was away. She is very trustworthy, dependable, and clearly has a natural way with animals.

I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. ☺️🫶🏼”

I am a full time college student. I am currently available Friday through Sunday for overnight sitting and during the day (between my classes!) for walks and other needs. I will work to ensure all pets are properly leashed, crates, and/or supervised during my time with them. I am excited to work with your pets and their safety is my priority.
“Irelane was a prompt communicator and even dropped by for a meet and greet before the requested dates which was greatly appreciated. She took care of all of our cat's needs and we came home to a very happy cat. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. Been taking care of my own dogs for 2 years now, but have plenty of experience before that. feeding, bathing, potty training, obedience training. I love to go on long walks with dogs, and I love to play with cats! I am a part time server and nanny. I start school in the fall and will have extra time on my hands in between classes and homework. I have two dogs at my home, we go on plenty of walks and we have enrichment time indoors as well as outdoors. I would do the same for your doggo children.
About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Smith Mills
“Debbie was amazing with Joey. I would definitely recommend her. I love all the pics she sent to show how his day is going. Joey seemed to really enjoy himself with her. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and caregiver my entire life. I grew up in an animal loving home so I have been around dogs and cats quite literally forever. I bring over 20 years of experience caring for animals ranging from puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats requiring medication. My background includes managing different temperaments, administering oral and topical medications, and making sure all dietary and exercise routines are followed exactly how you need and want them to be. I pride myself on reliability and clear communication, guaranteeing your peace of mind while you're away. Your fur babies will be taken care of just like they are my own. Since I am a stay at home mom to two toddlers, my schedule is more open to create time for what you expect out of dog walks and home visits. With my schedule, I require less notice in advance than others. Unlike people with strict work schedules, my flexibility means I am available throughout the day everyday, so I can give reliable care exactly when your pet needs it. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable and safe in their own environment while giving them the care that I would want my cats and dog to receive.
“You need to book with Raechel! She watched my timid pup for 2 days and when I dropped him off the second day, he was super excited to see her again! She sent me pictures throughout the day and messaged me how he was doing. I'll be asking her to keep my pup again.”
“Thank you Lynana for taking such care of my babies. I especially liked receiving the updates with pictures throughout the day. When I picked up my pups they were relaxed and happy. I look forward to being the girls back again soon. Btw: your children are adorable. ?”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. My first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier named Prissy. She had more energy than I ever thought possible and was incredibly smart! Growing up, my parents also had two Black Labs who were sweet, laid-back companions. When I got my first place, I adopted a Chihuahua who quickly became my best friend. She went everywhere with me and taught me just how special the bond between a pet and their owner can be. Today, I share my home with a Pomsky named Opal. She is the sweetest girl, loves to play, and keeps us entertained every day. We also recently adopted a 5-year-old cat named Luna, who is 15 pounds of pure love and has become a cherished member of our family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I work from home Monday Wednesdays and Fridays. I am usually home after 330 on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am almost always home on the weekends unless my calendar states otherwise. Routine is what best fits my home and what opal and my whole family needs, Luna kind of just follow me around and she’s happy with that!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Smith Mills
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was hesitant on proceeding. After seeing the great reviews Emilee had, I felt very comfortable and at ease. I initially reached out to another person but she said to contact Emilee so I know this girl must be good! She is very prompt in messaging you back and is very detailed about the dog walk experience. I received a map, how many poops/pees were made, water breaks and photos! Will definitely rebook in the near future! Thanks Emilee!”
