“They took excellent care of my kitten and took heed to the special instructions I had left! I’m grateful I could find this quality of care on such short notice!”
“Josh is fantastic with Ronan. This was my second time having Josh care for him. Ronan is a nervous dog and jiust so sweet. It was great to see the picture updates and Ronan come out of his shell. Ronan was giving Josh love when I picked him up.. such a great thing to see! Thanks Josh!”
“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”
“Tania is an amazing person and an excellent sitter. She took very good care of our pet Teddy. He had an amazing time playing in the backyard. He looked so happy and content in the photos. Tania took him out for walks and even played with him. She took really good care of Teddy. Thank you so much Tania.”
“Our girl Luna has never done well while we were away she always got anxious when we left but this was the first time she had an absolute ball! We had no issues coming home and she just went right back into normal life. It’s like our girl fit right into her family!! We are so thankful!!!”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Working with Martine was so easy! She was very responsive to our initial boarding request and sent lots of updates when our pup stayed over. We appreciated her service very much and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Karissa is just an angel. Do not hesitate in booking with her. My puppy was so happy all the time, she sent us very frequent updates about her and clipped her nails. Service is 💎💎💎💎💎 5 diamonds (not even stars!!!)”
“I cannot recommend Emily enough!! Our dog Gimli can be nervous about new experiences and I was amazed at how quickly he felt at home with Emily. She really went the extra mile at helping him to adjust in her home and with her pets, and he really thrived there. She is also a fantastic communicator and regularly shared detailed updates and photos that put our minds at ease. When we picked him up after his 8 day stay with her I’m not sure he wanted to leave!”
About: I have a background in animal husbandry with experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, fish, and reptiles in both professional and personal settings. I have a B.S. degree in Zoology and have worked at a veterinarian’s office, Zoos & Aquariums, as well as ran my own rabbitry business. I love caring for animals, it is my passion. I would love to care for yours! I am insured through Pet Care Insurance. I am currently a stay at home mom and work from home part time as a travel agent so I have plenty of time to care for pets and make sure they are well cared for. I have a large indoor space and a large backyard, with plenty of walking areas in my neighborhood. I live with my husband, two kids, and Cavapoo puppy.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and I’ve always enjoyed it. Providing for them and of course giving them the care/love they deserve when their owners aren’t there to, makes me happy. Im currently working part time so im available plenty of time to care for your pups. My schedule is very flexible and i’m normally completely free on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of play room and a large friendly neighborhood for walks. Whatever you want for your pups i’ll do my best to achieve!
About: While we know we can’t commit to having a full-time pet right now, we absolutely love the idea of getting to love on and care for yours. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including puppies and senior dogs, as well as smaller animals and rodents. I grew up in a house full of animals—dogs, cats, hamsters, and pretty much any pet we could convince our parents to let us have! Then adulthood, careers, and kids happened, and somehow I became a “responsible adult” without a house full of pets. 😂 And my kids? They ask almost daily, “Can we have a rabbit? A dog? Hamsters?” So getting to shower your pets with attention would probably make all of us very happy. We work from home, so your pet will have company during the day! We are flexible for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, lots of attention. We’re a two-parent household with two kids (9 and 5) and, somehow, we’re the only house on the street without a dog! 😂 We have a fenced-in yard, a super pet-friendly neighborhood, and plenty of space to play and hang out. Our home is well-maintained and pet-friendly, with baby gates available to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.
“Danielle is awesome! My dog had a great time and was well taken care of and looked after. Danielle is very accommodating and has a great yard that the dogs love. After the stay was over, my pup didn’t sprint to the car, but was happy to hang out while we chatted and gather her things. I take this as a really good sign. I think Danielle may actually love my dog more than I do! ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smithfield
Brooke was amazing with our elderly dog, I was very nervous with leaving her for the first time with someone outside of the family for several days while we were on our cruise. Brooke eased our mind and we say immediately that our dog would be just fine once they met. Willow came back smiling and happy!!! Definitely will keep Brooke as her babysitter. :)

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Smithfield is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. 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.
There are 1,156 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithfield. About 92% of Smithfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
