“Marie is a reliable and caring pet sitter. She has made a point of getting to know my dog and making the dog feel comfortable with her. It makes a big difference in my comfort level to know my dog is in the care of someone who is focused on her well being.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat while I was away, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and very caring. I really appreciated the updates and how well she followed all of my instructions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby! 🥹🐾💕”

“I'm a single dog dad and work long days, so Caeli helps me have peace of mind by taking my pups for their midday walk on days when I can't. She does such a great job with them and I know they are in good hands. Appreciate her help!”

“She was awesome! The cats loved her. She went above and beyond and made it so much better for me to enjoy my vacation, especially since I’ve never used Rover before. I will definitely be using her again, for sure. Five stars on every level”
“Cailey is fantastic! One of my dogs is on the anxious side and Cailey helped to make her feel right at home, and has been incredibly flexible with my wonky schedule! Highly recommend!”


“Rebecca took excellent care of my slightly anxious and socially awkward rescue cat named Garage while I was away. I was a little worried leaving her for 3 days because of her behavioral issues, but found that she was in great hands with Rebecca. We will definitely be requesting 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.
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.

“Neriah is amazing with our puppy Ricky! She is communicative, friendly, and reliable! She provides us with pictures and updates for each drop in which is appreciated. She clearly really knows our pup and loves what she does!”

“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and friends’ pets since I was 13. I love animals, and have had added experience working with senior dogs within the last few years as my own little ones are in their golden years! I am currently in grad school, so my availability can fluctuate monthly. I am typically available on weekends and week nights, but depending on the week/month I can be available during some week days as well. My apartment complex has plenty of grassy areas and our own fenced in dog park! The complex is also located in a very suburban area with plenty of quiet streets to go on walks. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and whether I go to them or they come to me, I will make sure they’re safe (and also feel safe)!

About: Hello! My name is Misael! I have much experience with dogs of many breeds and sizes! I grew up with many dogs and have always cared for them! Safety is my Priority…. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups and take them out in the backyard to play and go out on walks. I like to give your pups 3-4 potty breaks in a day. I have a fenced yard so your pup can run freely as they please and play! I like to play with your furry buddies and give them plenty of fresh water and lots of Love…
“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!”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover originally from Brazil, where my love for animals started at a young age. I've always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has always been something very special to me. I'm a proud dog mom to Kacey, my sweet and energetic 6-year-old black Labrador. She's very friendly with other dogs and absolutely loves playing, exploring, going on walks, and joining me on little adventures. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to loving and caring for dogs! I'm excited to open my home and share that love with other families. Whether it's walks, playtime, boarding, or outdoor adventures, my goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I also love taking pictures and videos, so I'd be more than happy to send you updates throughout your dog's stay or visit. I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your furry family member! One of my biggest dreams is to someday have a farm where I can rescue dogs and other animals and give them the happy, loving life they deserve. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I enjoy spending my time with dogs and love making them part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and making sure each dog gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being outdoors, exploring new places, and going on adventures with Kacey. I'm happy to make time for your dog's individual needs and routine, and I will always do my best to provide attentive and loving care. My goal is to make sure your dog never feels overlooked and always has plenty of attention, affection, and fun! Your dog's safety and happiness are always my priorities. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable and confident knowing their furry family member is being cared for with love and attention. At home, Kacey is part of our family. She's a sweet, friendly, and playful 6-year-old Labrador who enjoys having company. Because Kacey lives in our home, dogs coming for boarding must be comfortable and friendly around other dogs. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and care according to their own personality and needs. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special preferences. I also love keeping pet parents updated with pictures and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing, having fun, and settling in. Communication is important to me, and I want you to feel at ease while your best friend is with us!
About: i have had dogs my whole life, i work at a vet and am an aspiring vet tech! i love to be around animals and tend to get along well with them! i work everyday except for sunday monday and Wednesday! any of those days id be happy to walk your pup or after 3pm other days! i have 2 dogs at home but would prefer to take care of your dog in your home as i do have 1 reactive dog in my home!
About: I’ve had animals since I was 6. Growing up I had over twenty cats, numerous dogs (big and small), and a horse! While owning animals allowed me to learn the basics, I’ve spent 10+ years volunteering in both RI and MA animal rescues to help animals in need. This has allowed me to meet an array of different species as well as personalities. It’s also taught me how to socialize feral cats/dogs, administer medication, CLEAN, and give lots of love. Each pet is unique and I learn something from every one of them! Some can run endlessly and others have to be rolled off the couch. I love and care for them all. If your pet is a social butterfly who is easy going or a bit of a weirdo who won’t tolerate being looked at or the sound of breathing while they eat, I’m your girl! At the end of the day I aim to be a consistent, stable, and reliable resource for pet parents looking for someone to care for their babies! I’m also open to discuss my pricing if need be I have LOTS of free time!! I’m hoping to fill up my schedule with as many fur babies as possible! The more snuggles the better! Making your pet comfortable is always the goal and that process isn’t always smooth! That’s okay! I have time, treats, and more treats on my side. For social animals I am able to just do what makes them happy. Walks, play time, cuddles, etc. For the shy babies I know it’s not always a one visit solution and that’s okay! I’ve had the meanest feral cats you can imagine in my house who turn into the snuggliest love bugs with a little time, love, and stability. It takes time to build trust and I respect that

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.
About: Please be aware, my services are focused on vacation and occasional care, including drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins, as well as short-term boarding in my home while you’re away. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and provide reliable, consistent care during the times you need it most. Experience: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember — from rescuing wildlife as a kid to building a career around their care. I hold an associate’s degree in Animal Science and previously earned a certificate in Veterinary Medicine. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years in an animal hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing calm, attentive care — even in high-stress situations. After my time in the clinic, I spent 2 years in the corporate pet food industry, deepening my knowledge of pet nutrition and overall wellness. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I’m available for early morning visits, midday walks or check-ins during lunch breaks, and evening care. This flexibility makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention and timely care, whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a walk to break up their day, or extra love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as a former veterinary technician, I’m experienced in handling pets of all temperaments and can quickly recognize signs of stress or illness. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. As a dog owner myself, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether in my home or yours, you can expect reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of updates for peace of mind.
About: Hello there, I am an experienced pet sitter located in North Providence. I have my own home with a lovely yard, I'm retired, so I'm home the majority of the day so your pup will not be left alone for more than a few minutes if at all. I provide a caring, calm, safe environment to care for your special friend. Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life, and I have been sitting other peoples pets professionally for about 4 years now. I adore all kinds of dogs & animals in general and very much enjoy caring for peoples pets. Being retired allows me to have the time to dedicate myself to providing all the love & attention your furry family member deserves. I am very comfortable sitting all types of dogs, all ages & breeds are welcome. You may relax & rest assured that your loved ones needs are being met by a true animal lover with many years of experience as a dog owner and pet sitter & caregiver. My home is hardwood, some tile in the kitchen, and is always cleaned & pup proofed. I have plenty of space for your pup to romp and a beautiful yard to walk them in, with trails & parks nearby. I provide solo accommodations if your dog prefers being being the center or attention, and also take multiple dogs if they are from the same household. If you have any questions please contact me, I look forward to meeting you & your special friend soon! I began pet sitting after I retired, I am home 95% of the day, so your pet will be not be left unsupervised for more than a few minutes at the most. I am very loving, laid back, affectionate, & patient with the pets I take care of. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, we do our walks back there as well as spend time in my outdoor pen area when the weather is nice. When we are outdoors the pups are always on their leashes, and we avoid the main road just to be extra safe. I have an adorable 3 year old female Maltipoo named Ellie. She is as sweet as can be and loves to make new friends. When your pup comes to stay they are welcome to explore the entire house, it is safe and completely puppy proofed. They are allowed to snuggle on the couch, or wherever they are comfortable. I have plenty of beds, blankets, toys, & treats. We go for walks every two hours for tinkle breaks, and I like to take the dogs on a nice long walk in the mornings after breakfast and again after dinner. My little Ellie the Maltipoo loves to play, however is only 9 lbs so she is very gentle, she loves to make friends. I am comfortable administering medication or supplements if necessary, I have experience working with elderly dogs, and dogs on different medications as well. I am comfortable with dogs with health issues such as allergies, diabetes, and I am certified in pet first aid & CPR. I am comfortable with all age ranges, from puppy to elderly. I work with a few of both and they are equally adorable. If your dog has a special routine at home that you would like followed, such as crating, no furniture, special diets such as home cooked food. During mealtimes I separate Ellie & whomever is staying or with us for daycare. I have gates so that each dog can eat comfortably as well as preventing them from eating one anothers food. There is a beautiful trail nearby, with your permission the dogs do enjoy a nice stroll, and I take my dog quite often. Its a very mellow environment here, the dogs seem to enjoy coming & we have a lot of fun.

Rose took great care of my grumpy senior cat when I was on vacation. Kept me updated on bathroom breaks and food consumption and kept her litter clean. She sent plenty of pics and made me feel comfortable while I was out of the country. Would definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Smithfield is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 3,598 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smithfield. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
