“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.”
“Heather was amazing with our dog! She gave her lots of love, walks, and play time, and also gave our dog her meds on schedule. We received daily updates and photos as well. Definitely recommend!”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“My puppy Luna literally did not want to leave. Not only are Nicole’s dogs friendly, her family is wonderful. My dog felt at home and appeared to make new friends.”
“Anne and Joe were great caregivers for our 11 year old dog. Zoey appeared to be very comfortable with them. They kept us well informed as to how she was doing with messages including pictures. It was a great experience for Zoey and she will staying with them again in the near future.”
“Karen was amazing! This was my first time leaving Hazel Grace with anyone other than family, and I was so nervous. Karen immediately put me at ease, sent daily photos and updates, and took wonderful care of Hazel. She even took the time during our meet and greet to make sure Hazel and her pup were comfortable together, and they became instant friends. Hazel had a great time, and I truly appreciated all of Karen’s care and advice. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her 100%! 🐶💕”
“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!”
“Simone is a great Sitter for our dog Charlie. She sends videos and photos two or three times a day showing him running around the fenced in yard and playing with her dog Emma. We feel very comfortable going on vacation and knowing that Charlie is going to have the CARE that Simone gives him. We highly recommend her.”
“Carolina is simply amazing. She is so accommodating and trustworthy. I had at least two updates, pictures, and videos of my little guy. Her family is wonderful, loving, and caring. I will be using her again on our next vacation.”
“This is our second time boarding our dog with Ty. It is such a relief and joy to see him go happily with a sitter! I only hope Ty will be available next time we need to board Teddy. She and her family are really the best! Thank you!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Zachary was great- this was a last minute booking and everything went smoothly. He brought Gigi to the dog park each day and sent lots of pictures- the dog looked so happy! Thank you Zachary, highly recommended 😃”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had a meet and greet with Katy and she was wonderful with the girls. This was the first overnight away from home for our two adorable energetic fur babies (3 years old) and it was a great success. We were comfortable knowing they were in good hands and were so grateful for the care and attention she and her husband Joe gave them. They took them on long walks (and shared pics so we knew they were well taken care of). We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving reliable sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“We cannot recommend John and Sharon enough. Our two corgis absolutely love their time with them. They get excited when we arrive and are well taken care of. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and are pretty spoiled at John and Sharon's house. It's terrific to feel completely at ease leaving our dogs when we travel.”
“Julie was a great sitter all around! She offered a meet and greet beforehand which I really appreciated. Louie was immediately comfortable with her and her home. Julie's home was a perfect fit for us because it’s one level and she has a fenced”
“Our dogs had the best time with Melissa! They were well taken care of and made a few new friends. Melissa was extremely accommodating to our requests for drop off and pickup changes and even offered to meet us closer when our flight got delayed. We would absolutely rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her!!”
“Such amazing care and communication!! I actually think our dog was a bit sad to come home after the time he had with Jasmin and Eric! They are awesome and we definitely hope to work with them again!”
“Anthony and Zanely took such good care of our dog while we were away. They kept us updated, took her on adventures, and spent quality time with her. Would definitely recommend them!”
“We would definitely recommend Annmarie as your pet sitter while you are away. We have a special needs dog who is a handful and they accommodated his all his quirks, accepted him and took great care of him. We got updates everyday and had piece of mind he was in safe hands! 5 out of 5 stars!”

I can’t recommend him enough! He took such amazing care of my two dogs, and the service was absolutely wonderful. He sent pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made being away from my fur babies a little easier. He even went the extra mile by making sure they got their special dog food and were fed exactly as needed. It’s never easy leaving your pets with someone else, but knowing they were in such good hands made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the care, attention, and love he showed my dogs. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to board their pets. Amazing service from start to finish! 🐾❤️
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 😁

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.
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.
94% 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Smithfield. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
