“Julie has helped us so many times while we are away. She takes great care of our bunny, Rome, and even changes his litter box for us! She also stops in to give our cat some loves. Thank you Julie!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and caged animals since I was 12 years old. I have experience working with large dogs, small dogs, and everything in between. I was a maid for several years, and so I have experience interacting with pets in others homes as well as my own. I regularly bathed my own dog, Xena, and am comfortable bathing other dogs as well. I adore dogs and animals of all kinds, and your dog will receive loving and responsible care under my supervision. I'm a full time student at USU working on my geology undergrad degree. My busiest day is Wednesday, where I'm usually on campus from 9:30 until 5:30. However, I have several hour long breaks in my schedule. If you live within 20 minutes of campus, I'm happy to use those breaks to come look in or/walk your pet then! I have lots of experience with and patience with animals, as I grew up with several crotchety old cats and lots of neighborhood dogs who I loved very much. I was always the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and still care for my boyfriend's parents large dogs when they're out of town. Daily playtime is a must, preferably several times a day if your critter is up for it. I'm an excellent fur baby snuggler as well, if your pet is more lap-time aligned than active.

“I was really worried about my cats being alone while I was getting married and on my honeymoon out of town. Kati came over to meet my cats a few days before we left and allowed me to show her around and how to care for them. She did a wonderful job taking care of them. One of my cats is very skittish and doesn’t do well with new people. Every visit she included a picture of them which helped put my anxiety at ease while so far away, My skittish cat was clearly comfortable with her even coming out to play and get groomed. She even cut their nails and brushed them for me. Kati was a wonderful pet sitter, I 10/10 recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all.

Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.

I am currently a full time student at USU working on my Veterinary Science major, but there are always times when I miss my pets at home and want to take a break from studying so taking care of other people’s pets would bring me great joy and activity. I am living in an apartment on campus but have free time to give lots of attention and love to pets. I would love to give the dogs walks and play time to explore the beautiful campus and town and check up on them for their needs.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up around a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and farm animals, has given me a genuine love and appreciation for their unique personalities and needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animals are safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and individualized care. I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves walks, adventures, and spending time with animals. Whether your pet is full of energy and ready to explore or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is simple: to give your pets a positive, stress-free experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be home throughout much of the day and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. As a pet owner myself, my days already revolve around feeding, exercise, playtime, and making sure my animals are happy and comfortable. Adding a few more furry friends to the mix is something I genuinely enjoy! My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet care needs throughout the week and on weekends. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention during the day or a comfortable place to stay while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine to make their experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in yours, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and preferences. In my home, I provide a comfortable, welcoming space with plenty of attention, supervision, and have a fenced yard for opportunities for play, exercise, and relaxation. I prioritize safe introductions with my own dog and make sure everyone has the space they need to feel at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications or special instructions, and any household rules you provide. I also believe communication is key! I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Smithfield is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $15 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.

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 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.

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 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.
