About: I know how truly important it is to find someone who’s reliable, trustworthy and professional when considering pet arrangements, whether that’s just a potty break or multiple days of sitting. I have three dogs of my own at the moment and have 12 years of care experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, all personality types and all training levels. I typically have a very flexible schedule to accommodate most hours or need. Weekends, weekdays, holidays. I’m here to make sure this is a low stress experience for everyone. I care for my own dogs with daily walks, daily enrichment in the form of play or training time.. and of course, plenty of affection.
“We loved having Elaine check on our doggy! She was very sweet and took great care of our dog while we were gone. I appreciated her kindness and attentiveness since our dog was a little anxious while we were away.”
About: I have taken care of animals as long as I can remember! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn how to care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I have two dogs of my own a beagle and a GSP. Both full of curiosity and energy! I am currently working part time and available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dogs parks, anything you already do with them to make them feel the most comfortable!
“Kiarra was four paws up and a tail all the way!!!!! This was the first time she kitty sat for us. She was great and I have only wonderful things to say about our experience. She was on time, dependable, treating my babies as if they were her own. If she had questions, she asked which sounds simple, but you would be surprised how often that does not happen. She sent the funniest and best pictures. I will be recommending her to all my friends and will absolutely book her anytime I need a kitty sitter.”
“Molly got along good with Cisco and she spent some time with him which we really appreciated. She also followed instructions and took good care of our buddy Cisco. I'm sure we will use her services in the future. She is a quality person that cares about animals.”

About: I will be spending time with them at the dog park at my neighborhood and they will be treated like my own dog. I will love them as if they were own. I can take them for a walk every 2 hours and if you have any changes feel free to call me. I am at home all day so they will be under my supervision 24/7.

“If you're in need of a dependable dog sitter for drop-in visits, I highly recommend Francesca. From my personal experience, they stand out as an exceptional caregiver who genuinely understands the needs of both pets and their owners. Francesca is punctual, reliable, and communicates effectively. During their visits, they not only ensure that all of the basic needs are met—like feeding, refreshing water, and taking your dog out for a bathroom break—but they also spend quality time playing with and comforting your dog. This attention goes a long way in keeping your pet happy and relaxed while you're away. The updates they provide after each visit are detailed and often accompanied by photos or videos, which is incredibly reassuring when you're away from your beloved pet. Francesca's approach is professional yet warm, making them a trusted companion for your dog. Whether it's a last-minute emergency or regular scheduled visits, Francesca consistently delivers high-quality care. They have earned my trust and gratitude, and I'm confident they will do the same for any pet owner.”
“I had last minute travel for the Labor Day weekend, but Patty was super flexible. I actually connected with her as she was heading out to the beach for a few days, but she altered her plans and swung by for a meet & greet with the furry kids. Great communication every day, I'll definitely be a repeat client - Highest recommendation!!”

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

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.
