“Marie was an excellent catsitter and housesitter. She was patient with our precious boy R2-D2 and left the house as she found it. She communicated well and responded to messages quickly. Marie is a great choice to care for your pet!”

About: I have 1 year of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for dogs and other pets with many different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, cuddling, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will happily send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and playtime schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep their routine comfortable and familiar while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and keep pets supervised, secure, and away from anything unsafe. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and individual personalities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own.
About: I personally have 2 dogs and a cat and experience with all sizes and temperaments. I am going into my senior year at Bryant! Also I recently completed a half marathon and am looking to keep up the outdoor walking and running maybe with some buddies! I’m free after I am free every afternoons and most mornings, very flexible schedule inbetween my college classes! I miss my pets when I’m away at school! I don’t intend to have pets at my home, so I’m not quite sure what to say here, I still being in college live with my family and stay ever moving.
“Rebecca was a great host for Dottie! She had her own space to stretch out in and all the toys and comfortable spots she needed. Rebecca was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely rebook! :)”

“Mandi kindly accommodated our late booking and then our later request of adding on a few visits at the end of our trip. Her visit summaries were sweetly detailed, and we could tell she was affectionate and loving toward our cat with her photos and videos as well. We will book with her again!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I value honest and reliable care, not only for owners, but the animals themselves. I have experience providing care for a diverse set of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and other small animals. I aim to build trust with those for whom I provide care. I am comfortable with administering medication and attending to specific needs. Most importantly, I treat others pets with the same love and attentiveness as I do my own. I work full-time during the week, though I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I work from home. I am available for drop-in visits any day of the week. I work with my clients to meet their needs and go out of my way to do so. When providing care in an owner’s home, I aim to leave pets and the home in a state that the owner would be happy to return to. I respect the boundaries of owners and pets alike so that I can build a relationship of trust, communication, and reliability. I hope to show my dedication to proper pet care through my actions.

“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”


About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
About: I previously worked for Wag! Dog Walking and Sitting, and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have performed many dog walks and cared for dogs in my home as well as in the owners' home. I love giving them lots of love and attention. I have taken care of a variety of animals, from small dog breeds, large dog breeds, lizards, bunnies, and cats. I am organized, prompt, and professional. I have my own transportation, and am very reliable. I grew up with two Scottish Terriers and a Bearded Dragon, and have loved animals all of my life.

“Heather was great! She was super responsive and willing to communicate. She stuck to our kitten’s schedule just right and they were super content when we got back. Thank you Heather!”

“Grace was wonderful with our sweet shy cat Burton. He always hides from new people and we were nervous about leaving him for a vacation. Grace put us and Burton at ease! He warmed up to her quickly, and she kept us well informed about how he was doing so we could rest easy knowing he and our home were in good hands. We will definitely book Grace again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, you name it! My smallest dog ever was a chihuahua and my largest is a cane corso. My home was also a foster home and we had many litters of puppies and kittens come through on their way to their forever families! I work full time so I am primarily available on weekends, but I do work from home once a week if you need a last minute walk or check in on a pet! I am happy to take your pet outside, feed them, play with them, go for a walk or to get some exercise! I am unable to take them in my home but happy to work with you to fit you and your pet’s needs.
“We are so happy to have found great local assistance for our cats while away on vacation! It was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Carley was super communicative from the start, and proactive in arranging our meet and greet well ahead of our booking. After meeting her and seeing how easily the cats took to her, we felt confident in entrusting her with daily feedings, litter box cleanings, and general visit & play time. She has a lovely vibe and our cats were right at home with her. She’s very organized and accessible, takes notes and keeps specific details and needs of her bookings via spreadsheet. She’s consistent and thorough with the timing of her visits and reports. She gave them plenty of attention, treats, catnip, and provided the daily dose of socialization that I’m certain the cats appreciated very much! They were their typical friendly and contented selves when we got back, and I’m sure they look forward to seeing Carley again before too long. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and treasure the sweet card she left us upon our return. Carley went above and beyond! The hardest part of travel is being away from our cats and the peace of mind of knowing they are well looked after by someone nearby, trustworthy and reliable is priceless to us. We look forward to booking Carley again for our upcoming trips! Carley—Thank you so much for taking such great care of Nino and Teddy, and all the other pets you take time for! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,734 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
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.
