About: Hello, I’m Jess! I grew up around animals from the time I could walk until now. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, fish and a horse! I’ve always felt so comfortable and at ease around all kinds of animals and have always tried to help every animal I can (even if my parents didn’t appreciate it haha). I currently moved down to North Carolina with my cat and lived with 4 other cats, 4 dogs, and 6 birds before now. I also rescued a 9week old kitten from a dumpster a couple months ago! I’m really excited to have the chance to care for your fur babies while you’re unavailable! I can ensure they will stick to any schedule they may have, have any necessary medications on time, and are happy and safe before I let them have their “me” time! I’m currently working night shifts, part time, so I’m available during the day for our pets and late at night! I typically have 3 days off per week and am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pets have the best care possible! I like to come in and figure out what I can do to make the fur babies days a little better! Make sure they have food, water, find some treats and toys for them, and have a field day of play! I always triple check that my home and my clients homes are clean and safe when I leave so we don’t risk accidents happening and so everyone can rest easy! My primary concern is always your pets safety and well-being, as well as my own, so you can rest assured your pets will remain in a safe and happy environment while I’m there!

About: Whether you have a dog, a cat or both I will be there for your fur-baby and their needs! For those with special needs I am very attentive. Should they just need to rest…I will be there too. My other job is driving for Uber and I work that around Pet Sitting so I'll have plenty of time to walk, play or care for your special friend! I'm not currently available for boarding as my daughter is staying with me and we both have kitties. I like to work my schedule around the pet’s schedule and needs, and provide what each pet is used to on a daily basis - feeding times, medicine administration, sleeping habits, walks, etc.

Anastasiya took our girl Charlotte (5 year old Shepsky) for walks while my wife and I went out of town for 4 days. Charlotte can pull from time to time while walking, Anastasiya handled the walks like a pro. She took excellent care of our pup. She was punctual, affordable, dependable, communicated well and went above and beyond for our girl. She will be who we use anytime we go out of town! Thanks Anastasiya!

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs, doing everything from feeding to walking to giving medicine to my aunt’s senior dog. I have even worked with a sweet blind pupper too! I have an open schedule to care for your doggos during weekdays. I am also available weekend days too, if needed. Last minute needs I can accommodate too. I have 3 dogs of my own, a black lab, and two pittie mix babes. My husband’s cousin has entrusted us with the care of her pittie doggo while dealing with health issues. My aunt who lives across the street from me has me look after her two dogs when she travels out of town.

About: Hi, I’m Dillon! I’ve been taking care of dogs for a while now through my own dog walking clients, and I’ve built a routine around being consistent, on time, and really paying attention to each dog’s needs. I’m very active, so I enjoy longer walks and playtime, but I also understand when a dog just needs a calm, comfortable environment. I’ve worked with different energy levels and personalities, and I always try to match how the dog naturally acts. I also keep owners updated with photos and quick check-ins so you’re never wondering how things are going. My goal is simple: make your dog feel safe and make you feel confident leaving them with me. I’m currently in school during the mornings, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I already work with a few regular dog walking clients, so I’m used to sticking to consistent schedules and being on time. I have a flexible routine and can adjust to your dog’s normal schedule for walks, feeding, and care. When boarding, I have a large fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around others, but I always introduce dogs slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. I keep a close eye on all dogs at all times and can separate them if needed. I follow each dog’s routine carefully, including feeding and any special instructions. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I have worked in animal shelters. I have rescued stray and abused animals and helped located their owners and if I couldn't I kept them until they were ready to find a home. I am currently taking college courses to become an animal cop I want to continue to save the abused and neglected animals. I treat my pets like family. I have helped animals including babysitting in my home and at the residents for 18 years. I have worked at the animal shelter and volunteered there. My passion for animals has never changed. My kids also love animals. They have sat and watched animal cops with me and they say to me mommy we need to help them they need a family. It's sweet seeing my kids feeling the same passion as I do. I am a stay at home mom I do babysit kids during the week. I make sure all dogs get exercise while in my home. I have one 12 year old dog I allow all the animals to free roam unless I start seeing some aggression then I do separate bathroom times and things.

About: I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life and haven’t found one I don’t love! My wife brought a sweet one eyed cat into my life and I have found a new love for them as well. I currently have a 10 year old senior pitbull and a very high energy 1 year old american bully who would be a great play friend for any energy matching dog. I love to run and my previous dog was the best running partner I ever had. I would love to find an athlete to take out for some exercise! I currently work part time so I’m home and available after 2pm. My days completely off during the week are Sun & Mon but I am still available for walks and play in the afternoons throughout the week. I have a huge 3/4 acre fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. I have 2 friendly dogs. One being a lazy 10 year old man and one being a very high energy 1 year old that has yet to meet his match!

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. I will feed them, give them their needs, take them out to use the bathroom and for a walk, and maybe take them for a run, and go to the dog park.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: I am a veterinary medicine scientist at NCSU vet school and I currently care for a variety of livestock on my small farm in Selma, NC! We have horses, chickens, a hermit crab, and a sweet rescued dog named Ladybug! I love spending time with animals and will care for your animal just like my own! I have worked with a professional dog trainer and understand basics of leash walking and basic obedience. I am professional and on-time with appointments, attentive to detail, and highly organized. I have had pets my whole life and worked with animals professionally for about 18 years! I also volunteer with the Wake County SPCA when my schedule allows and passionately advocate for local rescue groups! I work full-time as a scientist who primarily works remotely so my schedule is very flexible during the week and weekends. I also ride horses locally! I only accept 1 client at a time, so your pet will get all the attention they deserve! I am an attentive care-taker for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, livestock (horses, goats, sheep & cows) & birds (parrots & poultry). For pet-sitting on my property your pet will be allowed full access to my home away from my personal pets (I keep my personal animals quarantined in a separate suite within my home when we have visitors) and also have access to our large yard for potty breaks & outside time when weather allows. We also have a large fenced in area for outside playtime when the weather allows!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Smithfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Smithfield on Rover is $29.97 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 2,663 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Smithfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Smithfield.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
