“Alianys did an amazing job with our girls Poppy and Daisy. We had never done drop-in visits over an extended period of time, and we were unsure of what to expect. She was extremely communicative and shared so many photos with us while we were away, spent plenty of time giving lovins and cuddles, and shared how outside time and potty breaks went. She also got them some toys and left the nicest note for us to come home to. We cannot recommend her enough!”

“I had asked him to do a last minute check becasue my pup was pinging (apple tag) out of the home and he was right on it. He checked on her and confirmed she was home as well as checked the fence area for holes. He put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using his service in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smithfield
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Woody while we were on vacation for a week! She visited him twice/day to give him medications, food, water & treats and went outside with him. Woody is an old dog and Emily kept us informed of days when he was less than energetic. I would trust Emily with any pet(s) and thank Rover.com for facilitating our connection.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Smithfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Smithfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Smithfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
