“Calista and her family were absolutely wonderful! Remi was so well loved and cared for, and made me feel at ease during our time away! Very communicative throughout the time we were away & sent the most adorable pictures & updates of our pup. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Debbie is the best! Our dog was so excited to go back to her house and I love that she always comes home clean and happy. Couldn’t ask for a better home for her while we’re away.”
“Ashleen is awesome and I never worry about my dog in her care. We have used her to watch our Bernedoodle several times and will be doing so in the future. Very kind and compassionate and great communication”
“Jessalyn took a great care of our dog Max while away for 2 weeks. She send us updates with pictures and Max was treated as part of the family. I highly recommend Jessalyn and we will definitely use her again when we will need doggy care.”
“Jessica offered fantastic service as sitter. From my initial contact she was quick with responding to notes, offered a meet and greet prior to providing boarding services and made my own dog feel right at home during her stay. Her own dog is as nice as can be and was a great host as well. I can highly recommend Jessica with confidence!”
“After reading all of her reviews I felt confident in leaving my fur baby with her! She was amazing giving me updates, taking photos and just answering any questions I had. I’ve already booked her to watch my dog again. He loved her and her family including her own dogs, which is important to me since my Italian greyhound HAS to be around other humans or dogs to not be anxious (it’s his breed). I’ve never used Rover before so to be able to find someone so amazing my first time is a miracle!”
“Pamela was so great to work with and was willing to take on our 4 month old husky for a few nights! He had a great time at her house and was so tired when he got home so we knew h”
“Our first time having Jared watch our dog, and it was very last minute! Jared had great communication with us and kept us updated on our pup, who was happy and at ease with Jared when we picked him up. Plan to use him again for another Rover stay.”
“Heidi was so great with our dog.I checked my cameras often and she was so dependable showed up when she said she was. You can tell she really had a love for dogs because was always playing with her. I will definitely be using Heidi the next time I go out of town.”
“Amanda and Cody were great! Our dogs loved every bit of there stay, and we were updated frequently. Already have our dogs book for futures stays with them!”
“Rebeca was great! She provided us with updates & pictures everyday. We loved being able to see & hear about our boy, Pluto, to ease our mind while on vacation. We missed him so much, but felt as though Pluto was very welcomed & cared for. Pluto had a blast with Rebeca’s dog, Nico, and enjoyed their daily walks and visits to the dog park. We are very grateful for Rebeca & Nico ☺️”
“Summer was awesome with my dog! She went on daily walks and I received updates even when I was out of service, which was SO nice to receive when I came back from my trip. Photos were great and her whole family was super sweet & involved!”
“Steven and Kaylee were great dog sitters. They took such good care of our dog. It was our dog’s first overnight boarding with sitters and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They sent us daily updates and lots of pictures. We could tell our dog was in good hands. Would definitely book them again. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for years , even transporting them to different states when needed. I live alone and am home by myself most of the time. I have a small fenced yard and wood floors and tile in most of my house. I would be happy and would prefer to meet your dog before I watch him or her. I door dash on my electric bike. It can go about 3 hours before needing a charge. I usually dash 2-3 hours in morning and 2-3 hours in the evening. If it rains I stay home I have a fenced yard , with a dog door from the inside to the yard. I keep water out all the time, but only feed according to the owners instructions
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Smithfield is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smithfield
Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, Leo! From the moment we met them, we knew he was going to be loved and well cared for. They treated him like he was part of their family, and it was obvious from all the updates that he was having a great time. They played with him, gave him lots of attention, and sent us adorable pictures that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was Jessica’s kindness and flexibility. One of our kids got sick and we had to change our reservation unexpectedly. She was incredibly understanding, and accommodating during a stressful situation, which meant so much to our family. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone who will truly love your pet like their own, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and her family. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Smithfield on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Smithfield sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Smithfield landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smithfield home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Smithfield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Smithfield sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
