“I just want to say I truly appreciated Melissa and Jeremy for caring for Brodie. Throughout his stay she sent pictures and videos! Brodie stayed cuddled up with them and I loved that. They took care of Brodie like he was theirs. If you are looking for reliable dog sitter stop looking now and book with them 🥰♥️”
“You can always tell when someone is an animal lover and Monica hung the moon. It is wonderful to walk into a laid back absolutely charming place that also caters to dogs and kids! Am spreading the word in Hampton about her. I don't know many people but my cousin is a native and has already decided she will book with Monica. I do not know how anyone could ask for a better "sitter"”
“I’ve known Stephanie for about a year and had no idea she watched dogs! I actually found out from my next door neighbor who uses her but he did not know her last name. When I looked at her profile I realized who she was. Our English Lab spent the weekend at her house and had a blast. The yard is huge and he was happy to have other dogs to play with. It’s also comforting to know our pup is going to be well taken care of.”
“They were wonderful, I received updates daily with pictures. They took great care of my dog. Such a warm and welcoming family. I appreciated the meet and greet as well.”
“Leaving our beloved Hector to Amber and Dane was the best choice we could ever make. We had to travel abroad and definitely couldn't take our full of energy puppy with us. Not only Amber and Dan considered Hector like one of their own dog, but, on the pictures and movies we received everyday, it was obvious that Hector had happy time, had a lot of fun and plays with the other dogs and enjoyed this "summer camp" a lot. If for any reason you need a pet sitter, you can definitely trust Amber and Dan to love and open their home and garden to your furry friend as if it was theirs, giving you daily news and pictures/movies and, to summary, being the perfect substitute pawrents. We will always come back to them when we need Hector to be pet-sited again. Do not hesitate to request their services, they are awesomely terrific!”
“We are so happy we found Bryan! After a bad pet transport, our Scotti has had aggression issues being around strangers. Bryan had no problem taking him and calming him down quickly. He is his normal sweet self at Bryan’s home and he loves the whole family. They take such good care of him and always send lots of updates and pictures. We feel confident taking vacations knowing he’s in good hands!”
“Lora was great with our young dog! She was so kind and sent daily updates about their time together. This was my first time using a sitter who was not family with a pet. She gave me complete peace of mind with her knowledge and experience.”
“Leila did an amazing job with my pup. I shared my concerns about my dog’s reactivity, and she was understanding and made sure my girl felt comfortable. She kept me updated with pictures, was easy to communicate with, and was flexible when my pickup time changed. I really appreciated her care and understanding of my pup and her needs.”
“Shelley was amazing!!!! I was updated on a regular with what my dog was doing and how he was acting. She's extremely kind and gentle and we will be using her and her services again and again!!!!”
“I just love Stacy! We left our pup for the first time with her and he came back nice and calm, I could tell he had a great time and was well loved and played out. She communicates so well. I knew exactly what to expect which was so helpful. She's so flexible and reasonable and is great at what she does. Very grateful to find her. Will be using again!”
“Encantandos con el cuidado de princesa, Maria fue muy atenta y cariñosa con Princesa, cuidadosa con las instrucciones y sugerencias del cuidado de nuestra pequeña, todo el tiempo en contacto y comunicación! 10/10 y súper recomendable”
“Nieshea was absolutely amazing with my cat during the entire stay. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in good hands, and the updates/photos meant a lot. My cat came home happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!
“I can not say enough wonderful things about Ranchaela. She’s sweet and genuine and loves fur babies. My first time using Rover and any kind of service like this and I was so nervous and out of sorts that I was going to cancel and not go. But she put me at ease, she kept us updated and sent pics which eased my mind and I enjoyed my trip with no worries. I knew my baby was in good hands. Thank you soooooooo much.”
“Caleigh was super sweet and amazing sitter for my Golden Doodle, she sent photos and updates daily, was great at communication and flexible with time. Safari was extremely happy with her would definitely book again”
“Gail responded immediately to my initial request and answered my questions. She checked in about a week before to confirm everything was good to go. Our dog quickly got comfortable with Gail and she sent us a few pictures to let us know she was doing well. I love being able to leave my fur-child with people I can trust to take care of her and love her like their own.”
“You can tell Amanda really loves animals like her own. She took care of our two dogs while we were on an extended trip. She sent lots of updates. She also dealt with an increasingly worsening medical issue and took our dog to the hospital on our behalf. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond in caring for our pups!”
“Julianne is great with arwyn our 5 lb chihuahua. She takes care of her daily walks and specialized meals and treats her as one of her own pups. Arwyn is always happy when I come to get her, looking forward to booking with her in the future!!!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Smithfield is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $42 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 980 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
