“Jaime and her family were so kind and great to my fur-baby. I appreciated the periodic check ins and pics she sent me. I think Casper had a great time and with the kids especially because he did not want to get in the car to go home. Even after we got home he was sad for a few days. I highly recommend her and hope Casper can come back in the future. Thank you Jamie!”
“Tameka was fantastic. She kept me abreast of what was going on with Justice and sent plenty of pictures for me to enjoy. I'll definitely be a return customer the next time I have to leave the state.”
“Jessica was great! She was very flexible with us as we were looking for someone to take care of Rosie very last minute. She provided updates daily and was great with Rosie!”
“Thank you Paul and Terri! Super sweet family and you made Bailey feel right at home. If I am in the area again I will be sure to contact you again. Thank you 😊”
“Hillary did an exceptional job with our three dogs! She kept us informed through frequent updates and photos of our furry companions playing with her children. The dogs always seemed delighted and cherished, receiving all the attention they deserved. It was a delightful feeling to know that our dogs were having a wonderful time while we were away. Upon our return, they appeared relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to greet us with enthusiasm.”
“Tavonne had a great space for my little dachshund! He came back from her house happy and ready to fall asleep, since he'd been playing all day. Her small dog played well with my rambunctious puppy, and handled him well. I would go to her again for dog sitting anytime!”
“Deidre did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was in the middle of moving. Her experience with pets and cats specifically gave me peace of mind. She took great care of our cats and provided regular updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Deidre and would happily use her again!”
“Our first time leaving our 4yr old boxer pups, Archie & Lulu with Rover.com caregiver, was a very positive, comforting experience! Elisabeth was very responsive, experienced, personable and organized: clean and family and dog friendly home. She sent us daily updates and photos of our dog "kids," which was comforting! Dogs were relaxed and happy. We will definitely use Elisabeth again and highly recommend her!”
“Rebecca was Amazing! She worked with Peanut, maintained the limitations that we established at home and communicated frequently via text message and videos! It takes me 30 mins to get to her, but it is 1,000% worth it!”
“Ashley and Ashley took great care of my pup! Their big back yard, and friendly boxer made my guy’s stay a wonderful time. They sent some fun pictures and made sure he was safe and comfortable while I was out of town.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my two pups! One pup is fairly skittish but she seemed right at home. Got updates and photos during their stay which are always appreciated. Cassandra was also flexible with me having to change the pick up time on short notice. Thank you again!”
“Melissa was great ! All paws up here. She truly went above and beyond; she sent us daily updates on our Fancy (pictures and descriptions of her day) so we always knew how she was doing. Will definitely be booking with her again for our next vacation.”
“Such an amazing family! If you want someone who truly makes your dogs happy and gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling upon first meeting her, this is the woman to watch your babies!”
“I needed a last minute boarder and Brandy took my Eva with no hesitation!! She is amazing, she sent me videos and pictures of my dog just being her silly self and it really put my mind at ease. 10/10 highly recommend”
“She was fantastic! It was so nice knowing someone was caring for our dogs the way we would if we were home. Very communicative and loved receiving pictures of our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was amazing with Ruby! She kept me updated every single day with sweet photos and regular check-ins. Ruby had a wonderful stay, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her!”

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 $33.3 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,003 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithfield. About 94% 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.
