About: For the past year I've been pet sitting for friends and clients. I take care of the feeding, walks, and playtime, and I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to. I set my own work hours, so it's pretty easy for me to fit pet care in. I'm usually free weekday evenings and weekends and I'm happy to plan visits around whatever your pet's used to. Since I have two dogs myself, I know all about that stuff. You can be assured that your dog will get his food on time, he will get enough potty stops and play as well. My backyard is fenced / I walk him always on the leash, and I will be checking all the doors and gates each time.

About: Hi, I’m Dillon! I’ve been caring for dogs for about 3 years and have built my own pet care business, Dillon’s Pet Care. I work with regular clients for walks, drop ins, and overnight care, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m insured for my pet care business and take the safety of every pet I watch seriously. I’m reliable, flexible, and always make sure to follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions from their owner! I have a very flexible schedule and am available pretty much any day and time. I’m able to work around your pet’s normal routine and can provide consistent care for walks, drop ins, feeding, and overnight stays. I’ve been dog sitting for over three years now, so I’m used to being reliable, staying on schedule, and making sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with different routines and do whatever I can to make things easy and stress free for both you and your pet! I have a large fenced in backyard where dogs can safely play, get some exercise, and enjoy some time outside. I also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around other dogs, but I always introduce everyone slowly and make sure they’re comfortable with each other. I keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day and can separate them when needed. I run my own pet care business, Dillon’s Pet Care, and I’m fully insured, so I take the safety and care of every pet I watch very seriously. I follow each dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and having a great time while you’re away!

About: I just love animals, dogs, cats. I have taken care of dogs all size and also owned from Doberman to boxers to border collies to small dogs. I have a lot of patience with animals. They are just amazing even though they cannot speak but if you really listen to them you will understand their needs. I had a small mixed dog her name was peggy, had her for 9 beautiful years. She passed away in 2022 do to illness. I really enjoyed doing this. I’m a self employed person, that gives me plenty of time to care for your pup, go for walks at the park, or around the neighborhood. We really enjoy being around dogs I have a fenced yard, I don’t own pets. Do not worry all my time will be with your pup. Either at my place or your place, which ever is better you.

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.

About: Caring Dog Walker, Boarding & Cat Care I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for years and have also done extensive volunteer work with animals. It’s something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve always considered myself an animal advocate and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. With dogs, I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and I tailor walks and care to each dog’s individual needs. I also love caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m happy to provide affection and companionship while also respecting when a cat prefers a little space. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and always focused on each pet’s well-being. Working part-time from home gives me the flexibility to plan my day around your pet’s needs. I can easily adjust my schedule for walks, playtime, and care. When caring for pets in my home, I follow their regular routine to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, and get the right amount of exercise and attention. I take time for play, walks, and companionship, always keeping their safety my top priority. I treat every pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space to play, nap, and explore.

“I was so thankful Arden could make time for my last minute request. She was so communicative and tried hard to give river his walks but he wasn’t having it that day. She didn’t give up easily on him and tried again later, she was very kind about everything and I would try using her again when River is in better spirits.”

“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Smithfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Smithfield is $39 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $44 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 823 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Smithfield commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

As of October 2026, there are 823 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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.

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 .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 823 sitters in Smithfield, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
