“Oatmeal has the best time at Ashleens! She loves hanging out with miss Moxie and all the kiddos! Every morning when we make the turn she jumps with excitement to see her friends! I highly recommend Ashleen and so does Oatmeal!!!”
“I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Rebeca and her family. Her daughter and Nico, their dog took such good care of my dog. They treated her like a member of their family.”
“This was my first time booking day care for my anxious pup and she came back very calm and happy. I loved how kind and caring Elizabeth was and she made sure my pup was well taken care of!”
“This was Aspens first time with a dog sitter. She was well taken care of as received a lot of attention. We loved getting updates about her day. We will definitely use this sitter again!”
“They were amazing! This was the first time I used Rover and so I was nervous. But they had me do a meet and greet and made me feel very welcome and assured. They took her on several walks and made sure she went potty every two hours! They sent me updates and it was just perfect!”
“Katherine was great at keeping me in the loop, consistently sending photos of my pup playing with the others in her care. I can’t ask, but I’m sure if I could, my dog Cleo would say she had a great time (based on the photos). Would happily book with Katherine again in the future.”
About: My earliest memories are of playing with dogs. As an adult I love my kitties and will care for any furry, scaley or feathered friends. Every day I care for my dog and 4 cats. The trip to the nearby park is a routine where I find refuge. I have flexibility with my work schedule and can make most times fit. I have a fenced yard where pets can roam free without fear of antagonism or being set loose in the neighborhood. I give each memeber of the clan daily attention and individual care.
“Debbie has been taking great care of Jack. He runs right into the house when we get there and she send pictures of him throughout the day so I can see he’s doing well.”
“Atie was great and would highly recommend her. She communicated great, shared pictures and updates and was flexible on pick up times and coordination in general. Would definitely use Atie again!”
“Lynsie was an absolute lifesaver! My dog has a lot of separation anxiety, but he felt very safe and cared for with Lynsie. I appreciated her willingness to meet us beforehand so that my dog could have a chance to interact with her and make sure they got along. Lynsie was awesome about working with my special requests and schedule. I would definitely recommend her, and I'll be contacting her again ☺️”
“Holly was great with Rudy. He can be a little needy in the morning when he doesn't get exercise and she immediately adapted to his needs and took him out to play and took him on long walks. Would definitely book Holly again!”
“Nate was so kind to watch Moe while I was visiting the area and took my kids to Lagoon. He's very quick to respond to requests and questions. Moe had a great time and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. Thanks, Nate!”
About: I’ve had a passion for dogs for as long as I can remember! Aside from parenting I would love the chance to meet and care for animals and dogs. I am more than happy to work with you on my prices depending on needs and size! Feel free to message me and ask! :) I’m always home and have extra time to care for, and watch your precious doggos! Walking, dog sitting etc I have the time to care for them. We have a little fenced yard! Enough for them to run for a minute and do what they need to do! They'll have security here and will have everything they they need!
“Tatiana was great with Molly. She kept me.up to date and sent me photos. She worked with our schedule and had no issues. Molly loved her day care days. We will be using Tatiana again for sure.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Smithfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 86 sitters in Smithfield, 93% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
