“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! We scheduled a meet-and-greet to see how my pup would respond to her, and my dog loved her from the moment she walked into our home. My pup usually takes some time to warm up to new people, but with Jessica it was as if they had known each other forever. She has wonderful energy, a great personality, and it’s clear she’s truly passionate about what she does. And the visit update was priceless - everything I needed and more to know my pup was well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jacqueline was absolutely phenomenal! She took such good care of all of our pets. She was incredibly flexible with working around both of our work schedules and made it work. All of our pets were very well taken care, we will most definitely use Jacqueline again and recommend her to all of our friends in the future”
“Cheryl was easy to work with, and went above and beyond our expectations! She communicated with us contiguously throughout our vacation. We hopefully will be able to work with her again going forward :)”
“Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰”
“It was a pleasure working with Heath. He was reliable, attentive to instructions, and good with the cat (even though mine is very shy!) I would definitely feel confident leaving a pet in his care again.”
About: Growing up, my family owned an amazing, but traumatized dog that tended to be aggressive towards strangers. Now, I help care for two very timid, anxious dogs so I understand and can manage dogs of all sorts of temperaments. Old dogs will always have a special place in my heart. I am currently working around 15 hours a week serving, so my schedule is very open! I have no trouble traveling daily and I love to be actve regardless of rain, sleet, snow, or heat! First of all, I prioritize giving all dogs and cats the attention they need, nothing breaks my heart like a lonely pet. Depending on the household, I will manage toy organization and uphold routines in place while you are on vacation or at worn. From medication to routine freeding and walking, I am an experienced pooper scooper willing to get the job done!
“Heather is a wonderful sitter! I have an anxious dog, and I was nervous about allowing an unfamiliar person to care for her while I was on vacation. I purposely chose Heather due to her experience with anxious dogs, and I am so glad that I did! Heather scheduled a meet and greet prior to caring for her so my dog could become acclimated to her. Due to Heather's calming presence and careful efforts, Tootsie was very calm upon meeting Heather. While I was away, Heather provided thorough information about my dog, which was extremely reassuring. I felt confident that Tootsie was being cared for by someone who I trust. Heather went above and beyond to make Tootsie as comfortable as possible. I will definitely reach out to Heather again should I need someone to care for her.”
“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
“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.”
“Marissa did a wonderful job dog sitting for us this past week! Dogs loved her, got to play fetch everyday, and we got photos and updates daily. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I have had cats since I was born, and I grew up learning how to care for and respect animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their pets. I am doing part time work while going through school, so I welcome caring for pets as an opportunity to provide quality love and attention to them. I will treat your pets with as much love as I give my own. I welcome any details you want to share regarding your pets' personalities and any special care they need.
“Thank you so much for taking care of the kitties!!! You kept me in the loop and up to date on their status and behaviors. With both kitties having medical issues and needing special care, I appreciate the attention to detail and additional time you took to make sure everything was just right. Thank you so much!!!”
“Justina was EXCELLENT. She was very communicative and prompt. She treated my cat very well and kept me up to date on everything that was going on. I will definitely be reaching out next time I am out of town!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,761 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 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 cat, 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.

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.
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.
