“Kayley was wonderful and took great care of our baby. She sent us pictures with updates several times a day and I could tell our girl was very happy. This was our first time using Rover and Kayley and I will definitely be using them again!”

About: Hi! I’m Kasey Bre, a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I offer both boarding in my home and in-home care at the client’s home so your pup can stay where they’re most comfortable. I will say, I have my rate on the higher end for a reason. The pups that will get along best here and the ones treated like a family member. They’ll have a seat at the table, they can snuggle in the bed, and if they want to go for a swim in the pool- they can jump right in. My 3 year old dog obsessed mini me and myself, want to make your pups time with us like a vacation all of their own! We love taking them out to dog parks, restaurants, baseball games…if you or the dog prefers us staying around the house, we have a huge fenced in yard with an in-ground swimming pool. We’ll throw all the balls and even have your babe feeling like a hero after “saving us from drowning”. That will go to a pups head quickly though so you’ve been warned! If they get along well with other dogs, our neighboring pups love coming over to play! In our home lives Levi, our gentle 11-year-old Labrador. He’s very sweet, docile from his old age, and mostly keeps to himself downstairs due to his aging joints. Visiting dogs will mainly hangout and sleep with us upstairs but I like to mention Levi just to ensure your pup is okay with another dog in the home. I have hands on experience with potty training, basic skills training, administering medications (pills, liquids, and other methods), senior care, and energetic puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of our family. If you’re in a training process, I’m happy for you to show me the techniques you use and keep it up while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! It honestly bothers me when I know someone is just trying to pocket a little money watching someone’s little love and are not actually dog loving people. I can assure you, your dog will not feel an ounce of sadness while you’re away because we’ll keep them too busy doing fun and positive things and smothered with love from strangers, by the time they realize what’s going on- you’ll be back for them 🥰I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. No promises you won’t receive a pic with your pup wearing a towel and cucumbers on their eyes though! I’m currently a SAHM starting a little handmade and upcycling business so my schedule is pretty open and very flexible! We offer meet and greets so if you’ve never left your baby with anyone, or even if you have, you’re both welcome to come meet us and check out the space where they would be while you’re gone, ahead of time. Send us a message if you’d like to chat more or set something up with us! Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, allowing for consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility. I’m home throughout the day and structure my schedule around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest so each pet’s normal routine is followed as closely as possible. We’ll throw in some random fun outings with approval 🙂 Boarded pets receive around the clock care and attention, regular and anytime potty breaks, supervised playtime and swimming time, and plenty of quiet downtime in the evenings. I’m happy to accommodate specific schedules, including medications, special feeding instructions, or preferred routines to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. For in-home care, I follow your pet’s established schedule in their own environment to minimize stress and maintain consistency. Whether your pet is energetic, senior, or more independent, I adjust care to meet their individual needs. I never show up empty handed so they’ll be super excited to see me coming! I aim to provide dependable, over the top care that feels safe and comforting so you can enjoy your time away without stressing and worrying about your babe. My goal is for it to never be an issue for you to go on a trip because your pup will see the suitcase and know they’re going on a mini vacay of their own! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take a thoughtful, proactive approach to care, whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, dogs are supervised and get to hangout in a fun and loving environment. The big fenced in yard, comfy dog beds and even our beds, there’s nothing they could ever get into that could or would hurt them. We have cameras around the inside and outside of the home for an added layer of safety! In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions flawlessly. I maintain your pet’s normal routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide attentive-reliable care while keeping your home tidy and secure. I’m always mindful of safety during walks, feedings, and playtime. I only accept pets who are a good fit for my home and family environment, and I communicate openly with pet parents before and during care. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing and what’s going on. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, fun and loving experience where both pets and their hoomans feel completely at ease and want to come back!
“Skip did a great job for us. He communicated well and even sent a picture which was amazing since our cats hid from him most of the time.:) I guess they didn't understand that when Santa Claus is your sitter, you should come out and show some love if you don't want to be on the naughty list. We highly recommend Skip to anyone needing a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

“Cassie did a great job of keeping us updated on our pets while we were away! She provided a thorough update on their moods, health, and appetites, and took the best pictures! She even took the time to meet them beforehand and ensured we felt comfortable with her. If something looked off in the house, she advised us of that as well. We could tell that our pets were well taken care of and had gotten plenty of play time and attention. Would recommend Cassie as she obviously loves animals and cared for our pets so well!”


About: My father owned a pet care business in New Jersey but now that I've moved to North Carolina I'm ready to continue doing what I love by myself. I plan on making this my full time job, I currently work remote so I am free any time of the day any day of the week 😁. My care is fully respectful of my clients wishes, pets will never be over or under fed, they will have plenty of exercise and play time and the house will always be clean when I'm done.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve primarily cared for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’ve also had experience with larger dogs, including my roommate's two who were very cautious and selective about who they trusted. Somehow, they quickly decided I was one of their people! My family and friends also regularly trust me with their furry family members and often come to me for advice. I currently have a cat of my own who requires medication and has some behavioral quirks, so I’m comfortable with the extra patience, consistency, and attention that pets with special needs may require. I’ve always been the person animals seem to gravitate toward wherever I go. My mom has jokingly called me the “cat whisperer” for years, especially! I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their humans are away. I am self-employed and make my own schedule - I am very flexible so I am able to work from virtually anywhere and at any time, so fitting in any set care is very easy! I always want to make sure I earn the trust, respect, and love of the pets by being gentle, caring, and loving and showing them they can trust me. This often looks like some extra cuddles, a treat, some play time during quick drop-ins etc! There's nothing better than earning a fur baby's trust :)
About: I have taken care of the family cat for 8 years, as well as embracing being a cat mom to 3 and welcoming all animals in my life. Although my strongest suit has always been cats, I have walked and fed, and even in some cases, tended to sick dogs throughout my life. After all, for 6 years I had wanted to become a veterinarian for a reason. I will always be a dog person and cat person, instead of rather just choosing one side of the debate. In the coming months, I will also become a dog mom as well! If paying through Rover is also an issue, I have Venmo, PayPal and Zelle if that would provide an easier process for my customers. I work as a freelancer photographer and model. My shifts usually are quite flexible and I would let you know ahead of time if I am available or not due to a potential wedding (I do wedding photography). I tend to my own pet’s needs comfortably while working from home so the more pets around, it honestly is a breeze. Having weekends off, I open the doors for anyone especially needing a house sitter. I am willing to move things around to be more compatible with your schedule. I have dealt with mostly indoor cats, yet it is important to point out that I have been recently training my own cat in outdoor exposure. With dogs, I will gladly take them on outdoor walks or if they prefer playtime indoors, I would happily cheer them up. I have helped care for a special needs dog while being with my partner so I know how to handle all walks of life.

About: I have cared for pets of many species since nine years old. I have given medicine on a schedule to elderly dogs and i know cpr. I have two rescue dogs of my own and i train, bathe, feed, walk, play with, and cuddle them. I also keep freshwater fish and houseplants. I care for my dogs by walking them about 7 times a day, breakfast and dinner on a schedule, and playtime and cuddles are prioritized when i am home from work. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with an enclosed dog park. I have two friendly female spayed dogs that are five and nine years old. I keep treats on me to encourage and reward good behavior.

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just my job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I have 8 years of pet care experience working with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m fully pet care insured, giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, overnight care, walks, feeding, medication administration, playtime, or lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and home. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. Whether your furry, feathered, or scaly family member needs care for a weekend or an extended trip, I’d love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m currently unemployed, so I’m always home, I always have time for playing with and cuddling with your pets! They will always be exhausted and loved I would prefer to do an overnight in your home as to not stress your pets out too much! They will be very cared for
“Janet is amazing! She’s so organized and kind, we loved receiving updates on our fur babies! I really felt like Janet went above and beyond for us, taking care of our home and kitties. We wholeheartedly recommend Janet for looking after your home and fur babies ❤️”

“Eda was great with Spooky. She sent pictures and videos and kept us updated on their activity. Spooky seemed very comfortable with Eda (she is normally shy around people she doesn't know well). We were comfortable leaving her there and know she was well taken care of. Highly recommend Eda as a pet sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,370 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
