“Rodney is amazing! He took good care of our sweet standard poodle while we were out of town. Very responsive and friendly. My dog had the best days while staying with him. Highly recommend him!”
“So glad we found Hillary and her family! It was so easy to enjoy our son’s graduation weekend, knowing our aging Golden was in good hands. He was loved on, exercised, and made part of the family while he was there ❤️”
“Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

One of our cats has a medical condition that requires extra help. Dea confidently took care of her needs and we picked her up in perfect health. Thank you Dea for looking after our precious cats like we would. We are happy to have a sitter to use in the future that we can trust.”
“Wonderful sitter! My cat Daisy stayed with her and I am so grateful for her kind consideration of my cat’s unique personality and needs.

Thank you for everything! 🥰”

“The best she did everything to accommodate my Trudy. She also went out her way to be available at the time I arrived from airport even though my flight was delayed. People don't understand how hard it can be planning a vacation or getting away when you have a pet, Vania was a lifesaver and Trudy enjoyed her stay as well.”

“Once again I cannot say enough great things about Kamie and Patrick. They looked after our furry family as if they were theirs. They were in constant contact with us with photos and updates. If they had any concerns about our dogs they shared them with me and we worked together to come up with a fix. We are using them again in August and I know our fur babies had an absolute blast. In fact, I was worried they wouldn't want to come home!!”
“I had a great experience with Kacie over spring break! She was very communicative, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

Emily & her girls were wonderful!! They took care of Ellie as if she was their own. When she wasn’t feeling good Emily went above and beyond by making her some chicken and rice. They loved on her and snuggled her, and I even got pictures! We will absolutely utilize Emily’s service again on our next vacation. Thanks so much!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Smithfield on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 984 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithfield. About 95% of Smithfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
