About: I have loved animals my whole life! So much - I could have retired many times by now - and be sipping my coffee with a view, But my view is my Loveable, Adorable - Poodle who loves me every day without restraints! And I love her just as much! I couldn't live without animals - and can't imagine my life without pets! I will love and care for your pets - just like they were my very own! I have owned every animal possible - other than snakes and spiders (I am afraid of those)… I have been owning and showing horses for 25 years at the National level - so got horses - I love them too! Call me for your pet services. I am adaptable to the dogs individual needs. Your pets will be treated, kind, loved and cared for just like I care for my own!! I have several private clients.. I work from home - I have a very tight schedule and the pet sitting helps me maintain a balance work-life. Pet sitting is my relief that forces me to accept there is more to life than working for large corporate America without breaks. I live in a small private community allows for long nice walks. If your dog likes to ride - I enjoy taking the dogs out for drives. We also own a farm (My Daughters farm and I enjoy taking the dogs over to the farm to allow them a change in scenery - If you indicate your dog may enjoy that experience).

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: 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 have always loved dogs. Since, I was a child pet sitting has been one of my favorite things to do to make extra money. I currently work full-time from home. Having a pet to care for will not only help past time but also bring joy while working full-time. I have lots of free space in my home, allowing pets to run freely throughout their stay. It is very homey for both humans and pets. I will ensure your pet is safe & well taken care of.

About: I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with over 14 years of fostering dogs through two local rescue organizations. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all different personalities, ages, sizes, and needs, giving me plenty of experience helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pets aren’t just animals in my care—they’re family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as I would want someone to treat my own. One of my biggest strengths is my extreme flexibility. I understand that life doesn’t always go according to schedule, and I’m happy to work with your routine and your pet’s individual needs. Whether you need a last-minute change, an unusual schedule, or care that requires a little extra time and attention, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me an extremely flexible schedule and allows me to be available for your pets throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 work schedule, I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply providing companionship. Working from home also means your pet can have plenty of attention and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods of time. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and individual needs, and I do my best to keep their normal schedule so they feel at ease while you’re away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, affection, and companionship, while also respecting pets who prefer a little quiet time and space. When staying in my home, pets have access to my fully fenced-in yard with over an acre of space and a privacy fence, giving them plenty of room to safely explore, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some outdoor time. I love giving dogs the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while still having a secure and supervised environment to come back to.

“So thankful for Sarai. My husband had an extra shift today and neither of us would have been home for hours to be with our dog, Lewey. She was available to help us out, and we were so grateful. Lewey was excited when he arrived for the day, and he tried to run back inside when I picked him up. He enjoyed his time with Sarai playing and more and sleeps as soon as he comes home. This lets us know that he had fun. Will continue to request her for boarding and doggy daycare. She has such a warm and friendly spirit and we truly feel that Lewey is in good hands when he is at her home.”

About: 🐾 About Me Pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. ❤️ I’m a military spouse and lifelong animal lover. Before being stationed in North Carolina, I spent six years working at an animal hospital in Rhode Island, where I worked as a veterinary assistant, cared for animals in the kennel, and provided dog-sitting services. I truly understand how much our pets mean to us because I feel the same way about mine. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply someone to keep them company, I’d love the opportunity to care for them while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. 🐾❤️ I’ll care for your dogs and cats with patience, love, and lots of attention while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m available for regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, while keeping each pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your home is your pets safe space, I'll treat it with the same care and respect I'll give your pets. During checkins, walks or playtime I will keep a close eye on their safety and follow your routines and instructions.

About: I have over 900 5 Star reviews on the Wag! app for dog walking, boarding and overnight sitting. Joined a local company that I currently work for and have several private clients that prefer to work with me directly. I have pet care insurance independently from the platforms I've used. I leave every home I visit better than I found it. Checking mail, taking out trash, all manner of special touches. I am handy and have changed light bulbs and air conditioning filters at overnights where i felt the client needed help with those things. Dogs naturally love me. I've had clients joke about their dog liking me more than them. I go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and happy while in my care. I can leash train or correct "bad" behavior with positivity and patience. I am working on CPR certification and constantly expand my knowledge of breeds and training techniques. I care for pets full-time. Ready to do walks, dropins and overnight sittings. I am pretty full as far as midday walks go, but can adjust in certain cases I currently don't do day care at my home. I do have my own dog that often accompanies me for my visits and pet sitting.

About: Grew up with parents who were groomers and breeders. I went to school to major as a veterinarian due to my love animals, and even though life, I find myself forever engulfed by the love of these furry creatures. Dogs to wolves, house cats to bobcats, ferret buddies, birds, hamsters and more. There’s care for them all. I manage well🙂. I have plenty of days where I find myself very free and available. A little companionship never heard us. Sometimes I need to take a walk and there’s a room for company. I’m a little sit down with friends never hurt. As the fur parent sees fit. They would be fed, potty breaks/outside time 2-4 times a day, and given a social atmosphere of people and or play friends. Unless otherwise directed. Light grooming and bathing can also be discussed.

About: Hello! Let me tell you a little bit about why your puppies and I should hang out! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, dogs especially! I am the person who stops a conversation to say “look a dog!”. Over the years I’ve learned many different skills including but not limited to.. dog behavior/body language, dogs with disabilities, basic medication and training. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors alike for many years and recently had the opportunity to work more directly with behavior and care needs to hone in my skills even more. I’m very comfortable with all breeds, sizes and ages. There is a saying “everyone believes that they have the best dog in the world and everyone is right”. With this in mind your pets are the best and will receive the same love and care as my own! Rover is my full time career so your pets and I will hang out all day and night together! Your pets routine is very important! Your animals safety is number one priority. You will receive regular updates and photos and if there is anything specific to your pets a written description would be greatly appreciated so everyone is on the same page

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Smithfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Smithfield on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 806 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.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 806 sitters in Smithfield, 88% 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 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.
