“Pam is amazing! Everything was perfect from the get-go. She's very personable and friendly as well as reassuring for us nervous doggie parents. Sangi took to her, her house and her dogs very quickly. She sent pictures and an update each day and played with Sangi as well as cuddled him, which he loves. I highly recommend Pam as a sitter for your fur-baby. You won't regret it. The only other comment I can make is....."Pam, where have you been all Sangi's life??????? You're a perfect fit for him. Thanks so very much!"”
“Very awesome! Blue is on a raw diet and she was willing to accommodate that. She gave me daily updates, which let me know how he was doing! Will definitely be using again!”
“Hannah & PJ, we’re great with Fletcher! He seemed to have a good time and that put me at ease 🩵 Their dog was a perfect playmate for him. I’m highly recommend their puppy care!”
“Leonardo was amazing with my large breed dog, Jill, on a last-minute booking! He was super responsive, kind, and clearly great with big dogs. Jill loved him right away and came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Dennis clearly loved his first stay with Joanne, he came back happy and clean. Joanne updated me every day with pictures and let me know how he was getting on. She’s a lovely lady who clearly loves dogs and I knew our boy was being well looked after and loved!”
“Laura took excellent care of my elderly dog. I was very pleased with the updates from her and I was so glad he was being so well taken care of. I recommend her to anyone needing a care giver for their dog.”
“Absolutely awesome. Amber was very kind and attentive taking care of our dog. He is blind and sometimes has potty troubles when in new places. She took that in stride, and when it seemed like his stomach was upset she even made him chicken and rice with pumpkin to help him feel better. Can't say enough! We are so very thankful to her, and her family, welcoming our dog into their home and treating him well.”
“Took a last minute booking after our scheduled boarder decided that our dog was too much. Our dog had no issues with her at all. She saved us from being in a bad position and handled our dog who doesn't like being without us without issue for five days.”
“Mitzi watched over our sweet Pickles on me and my husbands wedding weekend. She kept me regularly updated with cute photos that eased any anxiety for me! I have never done sitting through River before, but Mitzi is wonderful and I would 100% feel comfortable letting her and her family care for my baby boy again!”
“Jose y took great care of Kashi. He looked like he had a great time at her place. She sent me regular updates and was always responsive. I feel lucky to have found her even though it was at the last minute.”
“Dillon is very attentive and thoughtful of your pets needs and personality. He responded quickly and sent plenty of updates and pictures to know how Hildy was doing throughout the weekend. He's got a nice big fenced yard for the dogs to play in and took Hildy for walks with his dogs as well.”
“My husband and I were out of town for 5 days and Michelle did such a great job in keeping our Lewey. She was consistent with sending pictures and updates which always helps us to feel relaxed knowing he is doing well. He is taken on walks, enjoys the interaction of other dogs who may also be present and overall Lewey always has a good experience. Michelle is very good with dogs and Lewey is always so happy when we pull up in the driveway and he sees Michelle coming. Thank you, Michelle, for taking good care of him.”
“Tracey and Karen are the best mom and daughter dog sitting duo! Jester has stayed with them multiple times now. Jester usually hates water but they were able to get him to play in the dog pool and give him a bath! He always loves going and they are so flexible with pick up and drop off times.”
“Susan took very good care of Junior. She's excited to meet him and treated him as though he was her own pet. We appreciate very much the love that Susan and her husband extended to Junior while we were away. We highly recommend Susan as a trustworthy caregiver to your your beloved pet.”
“Jennifer is a top notch dog sitter! I could not have found a better person to take care of my Gio. She gave him so much love and attention and sent me pictures twice a day to show me how happy he was. She prepared his food exactly the way he likes it, let him hang out and sleep on the couch and has a fenced yard so he could get plenty of exercise outside. Having such a great home to leave my pup, really made my vacation so much more enjoyable! I highly recommend Jennifer if you have a small dog that needs their own vacation! You will be so happy you chose her.”
“Isabell is absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bentley! She’s kind, thoughtful, responsible, and so much fun to be around. Bentley thoroughly enjoyed every moment with her, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave him. Plus, her photos are incredible — we loved getting all the updates!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smithfield
First time using rover or anything similar! We were so nervous but had to leave town for a funeral. Fransisco put all of our worries to bed! He agreed to a meet and greet with us and the dogs before we even booked. His location couldn't be any better for your pups vacation. With a dog park across the street and a fenced in backyard our dogs came home happy and chipper. I can't tell you how much happier our dogs were with Fransisco compared to boarding them. Last time we boarded our dogs they came home exhausted, smelly, paranoid. With Fransisco you can leave your pups with full spirits knowing they'll will be perfectly safe and healthy. Fransisco also has great animal expertise, when it comes to dogs with health complications, he is the pup sitter you NEED!
I was so happy with Joselyn and her care for my dog, Pluto. She was incredibly attentive, sending pictures and updates throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Pluto seemed to really enjoy his walks and playtime with Joselyn, and I came home to a happy and relaxed pup.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Smithfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Smithfield on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,117 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Smithfield sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Smithfield landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their 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 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.
You and your 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 NC 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.
