About: I am a passionate dog lover and dedicated pet caregiver. I'm currently in my third year at Liberty University, and animals, especially dogs, have always held a special place in my heart. I've had my own dog for over 14 years, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it's walking, sitting, or just spending quality time, I’ve looked after dogs (and other pets!) for friends, family, and neighbors with love and attention. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. If you're looking for someone reliable, energetic, and genuinely excited to meet your furry friend, I’m your person! I am a college student home for the summer with a lot of free time. I work a part time job and an internship that are very flexible so I would love to help out with your furry friends when needed! I am a very active person so I love to get pets outdoors to let their energy out but I always keep them on the leash unless they are in a enclosed space!

Ellie was amazing with our cat, who I’m pretty sure was waiting for her to come back when we got home! She was attentive and caring, and offered us thorough updates and lots of photos while we were gone. Highly recommend - we will definitely book her again! Our kitty was very well taken care of 😻

About: I have taken care of pets since childhood whether it was cats, dogs, fish, or hamsters I’ve loved being around them! In middle school I would walk the neighborhood dogs after school and in my freshman year of high school I got my very own puppy! I potty trained him, taught him to walk off leash, and taught him many fun tricks. Now that I’m in college I have lots of free time that I would love to use to help care for animals, whether it’s taking them for walks, playing with them in the home, or even having them be my study partner! Depending on the client I would take care of their four legged friend following the rules that they supply to me. For my own pets I like to gentle parent and just love them no matter how they act.

About: Growing up, my family owned an amazing, but traumatized dog that tended to be aggressive towards strangers. Now, I help care for two very timid, anxious dogs so I understand and can manage dogs of all sorts of temperaments. Old dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I am currently working around 15 hours a week serving, so my schedule is very open! I have no trouble traveling daily and I love to be actve regardless of rain, sleet, snow, or heat! First of all, I prioritize giving all dogs and cats the attention they need, nothing breaks my heart like a lonely pet. Depending on the household, I will manage toy organization and uphold routines in place while you are on vacation or at worn. From medication to routine freeding and walking, I am an experienced pooper scooper willing to get the job done!

About: If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dog child like their own, then look no further :) I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your baby with somebody else, so I make it my mission to make sure you’re aware that your dog is getting all the love and attention they need. I take pride in providing quality photos and updates throughout their stay! My dog Finn and I absolutely love having new friends stay with us. Is your dog filled with energy and needs to get it all out daily? My back yard allows me to run around and play until your dog is ready for a break! If your dog is more of a stroller, they will definitely enjoy accompanying Finn and I on our walks around the walking trail. Whatever it may be; I am more than happy to accommodate for any of your dog’s specific needs Pet care fits right into my schedule the same way the care for my own dog fits into my schedule. It is my top priority that all dogs are comfortable and cared for My dog, Finn, has always been my shadow around my house. I'm just used to constantly being around him, and I find that my guests typically like to join in on the shadowing. I have a small house, so we are all usually in the same room hanging out. I love taking them on long walks around the scenic trail next to my house.

About: I’ve had animals since I was 6. Growing up I had over twenty cats, numerous dogs (big and small), and a horse! While owning animals allowed me to learn the basics, I’ve spent 10+ years volunteering in both RI and MA animal rescues to help animals in need. This has allowed me to meet an array of different species as well as personalities. It’s also taught me how to socialize feral cats/dogs, administer medication, CLEAN, and give lots of love. Each pet is unique and I learn something from every one of them! Some can run endlessly and others have to be rolled off the couch. I love and care for them all. At the end of the day I aim to be a consistent, stable, and reliable resource for pet parents looking for someone to care for their babies! I’m also open to discuss my pricing if need be I have LOTS of free time!! I’m hoping to fill up my schedule with as many fur babies as possible! The more snuggles the better! Making your pet comfortable is always the goal and that process isn’t always smooth! That’s okay! I have time, treats, and more treats on my side. For social animals I am able to just do what makes them happy. Walks, play time, cuddles, etc. For the shy babies I know it’s not always a one visit solution and that’s okay! I’ve had the meanest feral cats you can imagine in my house who turn into the snuggliest love bugs with a little time, love, and stability. It takes time to build trust and I respect that

About: Please be aware, my services are focused on vacation and occasional care, including drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins, as well as short-term boarding in my home while you’re away. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care during the times you need it most. Experience: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember — from rescuing wildlife as a kid to building a career around their care. I hold an associate’s degree in Animal Science and previously earned a certificate in Veterinary Medicine. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years in an animal hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing calm, attentive care — even in high-stress situations. After my time in the clinic, I spent 2 years in the corporate pet food industry, deepening my knowledge of pet nutrition and overall wellness. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I’m available for early morning visits, midday walks or check-ins during lunch breaks, and evening care. This flexibility makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention and timely care, whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a walk to break up their day, or extra love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as a former veterinary technician, I’m experienced in handling pets of all temperaments and can quickly recognize signs of stress or illness. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. As a dog owner myself, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether in my home or yours, you can expect reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of updates for peace of mind.

Heather is a wonderful sitter! I have an anxious dog, and I was nervous about allowing an unfamiliar person to care for her while I was on vacation. I purposely chose Heather due to her experience with anxious dogs, and I am so glad that I did! Heather scheduled a meet and greet prior to caring for her so my dog could become acclimated to her. Due to Heather's calming presence and careful efforts, Tootsie was very calm upon meeting Heather. While I was away, Heather provided thorough information about my dog, which was extremely reassuring. I felt confident that Tootsie was being cared for by someone who I trust. Heather went above and beyond to make Tootsie as comfortable as possible. I will definitely reach out to Heather again should I need someone to care for her.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Smithfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in North Smithfield on Rover is $15.52 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,764 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Smithfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Smithfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in North Smithfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Smithfield. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
