“Kyla was great with Miller. She sent constant updates with pictures through his stay and when I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave. Debated on sending this review since I don’t want others taking away from Miller’s time with Kyla and her family.”
“Bethany was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She gave us updates and pictures that made us feel so happy she was in such great hands! We highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”
“Dogs came home happy and well balanced! Clearly they had been well cared for and given the proper amount of exercise. Kexin and Carlos sent lots of pictures and videos giving me a lot of confidence and comfort in knowing that selecting them was the right choice! My dogs loved their large, fenced in backyard! My 2 dogs got along beautifully with their dog and cats. They even added some healthy supplements to my dogs’ food that they add to their dog’s food! Will be using them again soon!”
“Scarlett had the best vacation ever! She received so much love and attention while we were away. My husband and I received daily pictures and knew she was getting the best care in a loving home. We’ll definitely bring her back the next time we’re away.”
“I went away for the weekend. First time leaving my 2 year old german shepard. Misael was great he treated Loki as if he was his own. Misael sent many pictures and videos of them playing going on walks and just hanging out also. It was very comforting to know and see how well Loki was being cared for. We enjoy our trip, and Loki enjoyed his stay. I highly highly recommend Misael. I will be using him again and recommending him to all family and friends. Thank you Misael.”
“Emilee was wonderful with Benji. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will also use her again in the future. She was great with my fur baby and am so thankful to her!!”
“Heather is so sweet & fantastic. She took such good care of my pups. I appreciated her thoughtful communication and compassion for the doggos. I will certainly come back to her again and will recommend her to my friends & family. She's amazing & I'm so grateful to have connected with her!”
“Guss had a great time with Devorat, who sent us a number of great videos and photos of Guss having a good time with other friendly dogs in her backyard. Would happily go back!”
“Marcia took wonderful care of our senior puppy while we were away and then delayed 2 days due to flight cancelations. She was so accommodating! We knew our dog was safe and in very good hands! We can’t thank her enough!”
“Sarah was amazing! My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I would typically leave her at home alone. Unfortunately, due to this illness, she now needs care and I was nervous about the idea of leaving her home alone. I have an amazing career and was fearful I would need to make changes professionally as my cats are far more important to me than my role. Fortunately, I found this app and Sarah. Firstly, as soon as I brought my cat to her home I immediately noticed how clean it was and how kind her cat was to mine who was a little nervous. I feel like crouton (my cat) felt like she was at home which was amazing to see. After leaving, Sarah sent me plenty of pictures which eased my nerves and I will definitely be a repeat customer”
“My dog was instantly comfortable and appeared very happy to be hanging out with and in Denise’s care. We are very happy to have found the perfect local person and safe environment for Riggs when we are in need of a dogsitter. Thank you!”
“Natasha was an excellent caregiver to our dog Lola for 12 days. She kept us up to date on how are girl was doing with daily photos and videos. It put us at peace to know she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Natasha to watch your pet!”
“Nicole was great, very receptive to feeding instructions and made sure my boy got his meds as necessary. She sent lots of check-in pictures to help give us peace of mind throughout our trip. We were so relieved to find someone trustworthy to watch our doggos!”
“Karen is very sweet and caring. She loves pups and treats them as their own. Our dog stayed with her while we were on vacation for a week and we were not worried at all. Her dog is gentile and very playful which our dog loved. They played together a lot and it was sad to take her away from him when we got home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Simone was amazing! She took very good care of my fur baby. Took him on walks and sent me several pictures/updates daily! It was amazing to know that he was happy and in good hands! Will absolutely have simone watch my dog whenever we go on vacation! ❤❤”
“Anne and Joe are wonderful. So accommodating!! Being able to do a little meet and greet ahead of time was also so nice for my own peace of mind. I had no worries at all throughout my pup’s time with them. They made sure to keep me updated and sent me the cutest photos. I will certainly be booking with Anne and Joe again!!”
“Pluto LOVED staying with Marie. She sent many photos and kept me updated on Plutos stay. He was cuddled up in most of the photos and had the best time playing with Marie and her husband. Pluto got so much love and lots of treats during his stay. Pluto will be back to see Marie again soon!!”
“Katy and her family did a spectacular job caring for my dog while we were away. I appreciated Katy’s communication and flexibility. Her home was well-equipped to provide my dog with a great stay. Photo and videos showed my dog feeling comfortable and relaxed in this new environment. I’ll definitely be booking with Katy again!”

We really appreciate Maribel taking Astro in on such short notice. She kept us updated every day with pictures and updates from their walks, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Astro looked so happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Maribel was also very accommodating when we needed to extend Astro’s stay. Her communication, flexibility, and care for Astro were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Maribel and would happily book with her again!
This was my first time using both Rover and Angelisa. I selected her based on her past reviews and proximity to me. She was a true gem. My Stevie was well loved during her staycation. Angelisa sent daily texts and photos. I will absolutely use her again the next time I’m in the area visiting my son.
Wow! Nancy is the best…Cooper (our part dog/part human labradoodle) had a great meet & greet and then felt right at home a couple weeks later when he stayed at “Camp Nancy.” We got several daily pics where Coop looked so at home. It is clear that Nancy is a total dog person and knows how to cater to just what your pet needs. Daily walks thru her neighborhood made Cooper happy. I would definitely recommend Nancy. Really, really incredible Rover sitter!
Best. Rover. Ever!!! Our pup had the absolute best time ever at Ashley’s place with her family and own pup. K played nonstop with her new bestie. Ashley was super communicative and sent the most beautiful pictures and sweet updates. Thank you x a million! K can’t wait to go back 😁

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
90% of sitters in North Smithfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Smithfield 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 North Smithfield.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 North Smithfield 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 RI 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.
