About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.

I couldn't recommend Kasey enough! She is very responsive and I knew my cats were well cared for while I was away. I appreciate how she took the time to play with and brush my boys - she really went above and beyond.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on care for pets of all kinds. I offer pet sitting in my home or yours, boarding, and dog walking. We treat every animal like our own, and pets truly love their time here. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as cats and even reptiles of all types. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!! I am available for overnights on the weekends when I am not at work so I have more time to dedicate to your sweet pet. I care for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I feed pets according to their usual schedule and diet, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow any instructions given by pet parents, including medications, special needs, or training preferences. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away.

Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!

About: I have taken care of many animals my entire life. I have been pet sitting for my family for many years either for adult dogs or puppies, cats and kittens. I love all animals and throughly enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing fetch, going on walks and cuddle times. I am currently a stay at home mom. Both my children are in school now so I have time to spend loving on animals during the day. I am available on weekdays 7:30am-2pm and 6:30pm-9:30pm. On weekends I’m pretty much available all day. I have a large fenced in back yard, I have one dog and one cat. I can crate a dog if needed. I am happy to feed, water and walk your animals.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and know how to treat them with care and respect. I grew up with multiple animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit as long as it’s outside my work time (usually I work 1 or 2 days a week but other than that I’m free) I will care for your pet according to whatever instructions you give me and I will of course treat your pet with kindness and the love it deserves, just as you would.

About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them. As each year has passed, i’ve taken care of more dogs along with other pets like guinea pigs,birds,fish and cats. i’m capable of taking care of senior dogs and ones with special needs. I know what it’s like to care for an old dog that struggles with certain things. they would still get the exact same amount of attention as any other dog would. i’m very compassionate when it comes to animals. your pets needs are first priority. they’re happiness is what matters most. any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them i don’t have a job but i’m still quite busy helping my family out during the week with therapy/doctor appointments. my brother is handicapped and so he has to go to therapy a few days a week all the way up in cincinnati which takes half a day. im also helping homeschool my younger brothers during the week. in my opinion i know the weekends would work the best bc I’m usually not doing anything which means that i could have my full attention on your pet(s). however we could always talk in advance about the schedule and i could make take time during the week work if needed They’ll have my full attention. I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

About: Grew up on a farm with 20 dogs. I had my own dogs and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether it’s keeping them company, going for walks, playing or sticking to their routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed and plenty of love and attentions. I also respect my clients’ home by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions to make sure that both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I truly care about the animals in my care and believe every pet deserves attentive, reliable, and compassionate treatment while their owners are away. I work from home so I have all the hours to dedicate to your pets and provide the best care possible. Book with me today! I have a full fenced in farm with the ability to keep your furbaby separate from other animals or the ability to let your fur babies play with others. Crates are available as well.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have several years of hands-on experience caring for horses, dogs, and other pets through barn work and daily responsibilities. My experience includes feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, administering basic care, and keeping animals on consistent routines. I also previously managed a pet store, where I helped customers with pet care needs and assisted with grooming services, giving me experience working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. Being involved in cheer and an active lifestyle, I’m used to early mornings, long days, and staying dependable no matter the weather. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to structured schedules and early mornings. Between school, cheer, and my experience working at barns and managing a pet store, I’m very comfortable planning my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m active and outdoors often, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task. I’m also reliable with time management, so pets always get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed exactly. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If pets are in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get fresh air safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific care routine.

About: I have been a lifelong lover of all animals in every shape, size, and species! I grew up with a dog and cat and now I have my own dog and 3 cats! I did long term pet sitting for two years while in college and now I’m ready to return full time! Animals have always been my passion in life so I cannot wait to meet yours! I also previously worked in a vet clinic so I now have knowledge in animal handling, grooming, administrating medication, and a basic understanding of common pet issues/illnesses. Fitness is also a passion of mine so I would love to take your pets on fun, long walks around the area! I am also a portrait photographer on the side so you are guaranteed to get good photos of your beautiful fur babies! My own dog, Mateo, has always been a spirited pup to say the least! With that I have gained some knowledge with basic dog training. Have a puller on your walks? I can help with it! Need some help with basic commands for a feisty puppy? I got you covered! I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8:30am to 5pm. So currently I have open availability on the weekends and can be available during the week after 5pm. But I am about to be making my way back to being home full time so I can have the most time available to provide the best service for your pets! I absolutely care for your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it can be to have to leave your precious babies in someone else’s care but I promise to update you every step of the way! From when I arrive to your home, during the visit, and when I am leaving your home. If you have any questions during the visit I will be able to answer you right away! My top priority is not only your pet but also making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

Molly is the best. She is reliable, consistent, and takes such good care of our Hampton. He’s getting old and is on medication so we worry when we have to leave him for several days. Our worries are eliminated knowing Molly is visiting him. She is kind, warm, and communicative. We trust her wholeheartedly. Thank you for everything, Molly!

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, including your not so normal fur friends, like a baby deer, chinchillas, sugar gliders, raccoons, a squirrel and that is where my love of all animals started. My mother would nurse back to health any animal she could and taught me the care and respect animals deserve. I’ve been a professional pet sitter for 15 years and come with a plethora of references. My pet sitting skills also include care for senior pets that require medications, and syringe feeding. I would love to be the one your trust for your fur pets! I do have a full time job. I work 8:30 to 4:30 Mon-Thursday and get off at 12:30 pm on Fridays. I’m off every Saturday and Sunday. I would make sure to feed and let everyone out in the mornings, and come spend the night at your house for the rest of the evening so your beloved pet doesn’t have the stress of being somewhere they don’t recognize, so they can relax and be comfortable at home while you’re away. I take pride in knowing every pet’s unique quirks, whether that be to have to add special human food to their bowl, needing to be hand fed, a special dinner feeding song, or having to act like you’re cooking their food on the stove. I’ve seen them all and I take pride in assuring you your babies will be taken care of with the utmost respect and care you give them yourself. I’m also experienced in giving medications. I do not offer pet care on my own home. My care can include drop ins only if needed, or full overnight care.

Currently working Monday through Saturday from 6am to 7pm. This is my only job at the moment so my availability is wide open and I will accept same day bookings. I build trust and respect with any pet I encounter. I’ll ensure everyone’s care needs are met, and give your pets plenty of love and attention to hold them over until they see you next.

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.

About: Having years of experience caring for family pets of all shapes and sizes, I can provide your pets with the one on one time they deserve while you're away. I have provided care for a wide range of dogs, from weeks old puppies, to senior dogs getting ready to cross the rainbow bridge. My love for dogs has encouraged me to pursue a career doing what I love, playing with dogs and making their overall wellbeing my priority. I take your dogs day to day routine into account when doing any sort of activities; from how long they typically like to go for walks, to the level of interaction they like during play time. I consider every dog a friend I haven't made yet, and I love sharing that sort of relationship with every dog I meet. Being a pet parent myself, the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning and the last thing I do before bed is pet care. I understand that every animal is unique and requires personalized care. I always make sure to respect the pets personal space and I always go at the pace set by the pet. Their comfort and happiness is my top priority.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Smithfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Smithfield on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,067 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across 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 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.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
