“Calista was attentive and loving with our dog, he had such a good time and was taken care of SO well! He has sensitive stomach and needed some special care while we were gone. It was no big deal to her and she gave him probiotics, yogurt, bone broth, all the good things and was a happy pup. So grateful to know he has lots of play time, walks, and was loved on while we were gone. He also hit it off with their dog and made a new friend!! So grateful we found Calista and her cute family to love on our dog.”
“Pamela was awesome with our German shepherd puppy! She sent us several pictures and videos while we were gone and updated us often so we knew how our puppy was doing. Our puppy loved her stay at Pamela’s!”
“Debbie paid full attention to Abbie Rose during her stay there. Although Abbie had a bit of anxiety staying with Debbie (we haven't left her much), she provided Abbie with the love and attention needed. We will certainly use Debbie again!”
“Phenomenal! Katherine took amazing care of our dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She took him on daily walks, and made sure he got lots of cuddles. I would recommend her 10/10! Thank you. ❤️❤️”

She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, giving us peace of mind that our pets were happy and well cared for. It was clear she made them part of her daily routine, which we truly appreciated. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy time with family without any worries. 5/5—highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Jared was excellent to work with for our first time having to leave our pup since we moved to the area. He was flexible with our schedules, a prompt and courteous communicator, and sent us plenty of pictures while we were away. I would be more than happy to have Jared watch our pup anytime and we are grateful for the care and love he provided!”
“Emily was amazing. Our little dog is very shy and anxious but Emily and her family were amazing with her and she loved them. She was very attentive to her health and super good at communicating. She sent pictures frequently. We would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her to others. Thanks, Emily!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sara and her family were so great with our dog. She got lots of attention and she was a happy dog when we picked her up. Sara sent pictures and let us know how things were going. I would highly recommend her!”

“Fin was very well taken care of! We enjoyed the updates we received from Kristen and Spencer, and it helped us know he was doing well. He was loved on, taken out for a walk, and given water to play in. They were also very understanding when our drop off/pick up times were different from what was originally planned. We appreciated their understanding and patience. We wouldn’t hesitate to take him back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smithfield
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 116 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.
91% 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.
