“We cannot recommend Kayla enough! Kayla is an incredible sitter and person! She cared for our babies like they were her own. We had terrible sitter experiences in the past and she made our trip feel less stressful knowing that our babies were in great hands. We looked forward to reading her daily updates and photos, they were the highlights to our days away from home. We will definitely hire her again for future trips. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ? you’re the best”

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I have been pet sitting for about 7 years and it has always been something to take pleasure in. I have a very soft spot for your fur babies. I will keep you updated as often as you'd like throughout the day everyday, send pictures, and communicate with you directly. I am easily taught any extra needs your pet will need! I currently live at home with my family and two furry babies! Often I spend time with Willow and Ellie (those are their names), and help out my family taking care of them by feeding them and walking them. I absolutely adore seeing an animal get excited and happy, it just makes my heart flutter. My routine is very flexible when it comes to fur babies, they deserve all the care in the world! If I am needed at your house (preferably) that is no worries, I am willing to stay over night, and do absolutely anything at all needed! I don’t mind at all driving out of the way either, never feel like you’re too far!

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! As a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom, I treat every pup like my own. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and fully dedicated to your pet's happiness and routine. I have plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels including my own high energy Goldendoodle, Woody! Because of this, I'm completely comfortable managing active exercise routines, strict feeding schedules, and keeping pups mentally stimulated and relaxed. Whether your dog needs a high energy adventure, a structured walk, or just some loving companionship while you're out, I tailor my care to fit their unique personality. You can always count on me for detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to worry! I'm naturally active and love being on the move. Whether it's adding long walks, outdoor playtime, or structured routines into my schedule, I easily weave your dog's needs right into my day so they never miss a beat! In my home or yours, I focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and on their familiar routine. Whether it's burning energy with active play, sticking to exact feeding schedules, or winding down with cozy companionship, I treat every pet like family and provide a clean, secure, and loving environment.
“I felt confident leaving Ace for our short trip with Mary. She made sure he was cared for and loved while we were away. She sent updates and photos so we can check in on his situation. Thanks Mary.”

Safety is of the utmost importance. While in my care it is my duty to ensure your pup is happy and safe. Pups will remain on leash and only visit environments that are low risk.

About: Growing up, I had plenty of cats and dogs, both trained and untrained. I treat fur babies like literal humans, they deserve it. I love to cuddle with animals, play outside, or just be lazy together. I work for myself so I make my own schedule. Therefore, it isn’t hard for me to make arrangements to keep a pet or go and hangout. I have no fur babies as of now (mine recently passed) so you won’t have to worry about your pet being in a fight or hurt by the paws of any animal of mine. My home is on an acre of land with only one neighbor. I have a screened in back porch if the animal loves to sunbathe. I make it a priority to learn any pet I encounter.
“Elaine was just awesome all around! She was quick to respond, was available when I needed her and was great with my pups 💜 She sent photos and even a video during her extended drop in visit. My pups were calm and happy when I returned home. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”


About: I am a reliable sitter with experience caring for pets of all kinds. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pet owners to have someone they can trust, and I strive to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I'm currently part time working remotely. So I have plenty of time to care for and assist your fur babies! Avaliable most days between 12-9pm. I have an adequate sized yard for fun time, however it is not fenced in. Two medium sized cages if needed. Aswell as a pup of my own the assist in keeping everyone company.
“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.”

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!
“Super kind, personable, and responsible young lady. I hired her to do drop-ins while I was out of town for two days. She was FANTASTIC. Always checked in on time, and my dogs LOVE her. She was house and pet sitting next door, and our neighbors are also very happy with her. Highly recommend.”

I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and high-quality care, ensuring every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while giving owners peace of mind. I currently work full-time from 3–8 PM, but I’m available for care as early as 6 AM and as late as 9 PM — weekends included! Every visit is fully customizable to meet you and your fur friend’s unique needs! I provide unlimited care tailored to your pet’s comfort and happiness. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll share photos, videos, and a short update so you never miss a moment with your furry companion.
“Kimberly did a fabulous job taking care of our beagle babies. They loved her and enjoyed their time with her. She made us and the babies feel at ease. We knew they were well taken care of because she takes her pet sitting duties seriously. We will definitely reach out to Kimberly in the future. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Brittany is so sweet and wonderful with my dogs. She took really wonderful care of my senior dog during drop in visits towards the end of her life and I was thrilled to bring her back years later to do drop in visits with my new puppy. She is kind, a great communicator, takes the cutest pictures of my dogs, and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I have grown up with all types of animals; cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and even horses! I take pet care very seriously and enjoy getting to know new fur babies and their personalities. I can drop in in the afternoons around lunch and in the evenings during the week, and on weekends I am free all day to check on your pets. I will make sure your pets get love and attention and not just a quick pop in visit (unless specifically requested). I like to make sure the pet feels safe and secure in their environment while I take care of them

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.

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.
