“Audry is a cat whisperer. She convince my shy girl to be her buddy, and she convinced my cat who hides at the sight of new people, to let her pet him. She sent great pics and detailed reports on my fur baby antics. I will definitely request her again.”
“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.”
“Lisa and her family took amazing care of our dog for the weekend. He loved all the time and love he received. They came a few days before to meet him, which really helped our dog be more friendly. They should lots of patience, when he just wanted to hide under the bed, which helped him eventually come out and play. Thank you”

About: Hi! My name is Jenae, and I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced caregiver who genuinely loves working with animals. I have several years of experience caring for children, which has helped me develop strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and understanding individual needs — qualities that translate perfectly into caring for dogs. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk to burn off energy or calm, consistent companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort levels, and I’m committed to following your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m dependable and take pride in being someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I currently work full time but have time available in the morning and in the evenings. I'm also available to do drop in visits on my lunch break if needed. If your dog is on a schedule I will make sure they stick to that set schedule. I also understand that safety is #1 priority. I will make sure your dog stays safe at home and away from home when outside.
About: I love animals, and I would love to start getting out of my house more. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12, and would love to get back into it. I am good at basic training things such as : sit, stay, lay down, and I can also teach them to play dead. I don't mind feeding them or bathing them either. I can't wait to meet your fury companions! I have two littles and would love for us to start getting out of the house. I am basically always free, and would love to take care of your fury family members! I have fenced yard if I were to have your pet at my home. I also have a female dog who is super energetic while outside. I own a dog crate as well, just in case. Depending what I am booked for, I love to play with all pets. Usually if I have time during a booking I will play and give pets to my clients as if they were my own.
About: Hi! My name is Ramona. I grew up in Clinton, Oklahoma, and my first job was on an alpaca farm while I was in high school, where I fed them three times a week. I graduated from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, in May 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and a minor in foreign languages. Feel free to ask me anything! I ran two half marathons in 2025: the Taylor Swift Fun Run and the Spooky Sprint in Lee’s Summit. I love going on long walks, and unfortunately, because of my lifestyle, I can’t have a dog right now. I’d love the opportunity to watch your fur baby’s though! I would be consistently responsible, highly respectful, and proactively communicative with your space. I truly appreciate very clear communication when it comes to understanding and meeting my clients’ preferences.
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life so I understand the importance in taking care of them. My dogs are my children and I will always take the best care of them. I’ve had many cats when I was younger but I have 2 dogs here with me and 1 back home with my mom. Two of the three dogs I have are rescues, and I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. I am an Air Force veteran and I am currently a stay at home mom. I’m free any day at any time to meet all of your pets needs. I am newer to drop-in visits on this app but I’ve done it plenty of times before joining the app. I am very reliable and will always keep you updated with your pet(s).
About: I've worked in animal welfare & shelters since 2015. I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats with various personalities and needs. I personally own 3 dogs and several cats all at various ages. One of my cats is disabled- and I've owned and worked with dogs and cats that have special needs (seziures, CH, deaf, blind), take daily medications, and possess specific breed traits/personalities that can't make them difficult to manage. Currently work remote and have a large amount of flexibility in between travel for work. I can prov8de limited boarding in home- dogs must be able to coexhist with cats, be able to be crated and/or left in a single room unattended, and be respectful of baby gates. I do have a separate space for cats that is easier to manage. Current cats in the home do free roams but there is an entire space devoted to the dogs in the home. Can crate and rotate as needed and care for up to 2 dogs if everyone can get along. In your home I prefer to stick to as close of a routine that you provide them with- from their potty breaks to morning and evening walks. Staying as consistent as possible can help provide a relaxing trip for you and your pet.

About: I have had a love of animals since I was a small child. I grew up in a household with dogs, and I have been caring for them for over 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, both large and small, so you can be confident that your dog will be in good hands. Contact me today to schedule a dog walking session or drop in visit; you will be able to relax knowing that your dog is getting the care and exercise it needs while you are away. My schedule is flexible, with openings mainly in the mornings and afternoons during the week and weekend. Contact me for specific times and availabilities, as my schedule may change. I will ensure that your pet is secured on a leash for a walk, stays out of the roadway as much as possible, and will avoid other dogs when necessary.
“Fabulous! She was so understanding of our labradoodle who has a licker problem and so patient with our shih tzu who is scared of strangers. She has tons of energy and my pups were very happy.”
“Felicia took good care of my dog, made sure all the basics were covered and even did us a solid as we forgot something prior to going out of town. A solid, reliable choice for pet care.”
“This was our first time booking with anyone, and it was just a drop in visit for a few hours while we were on a day trip, but it was just perfect. Kelsey let me know when he had arrived and sent me lots of pics (which I loved) and kept me updated on how it was going. We had good communication back and forth and it was a great peace of mind for me to know the dogs were all good. They had a great break with Kelsey and lots of time to be outside if they wanted, or to cuddle with Kelsey as one of them did a great deal, and just overall a nice social break in their day.”
About: I have been watching my family and friends dogs for 9 years. I have a golden retriever that I rescued. She had changed my life for the better. I am here to make your dog feel very loved and happy while in my care. Weekends are my more flexible days. Your dogs won’t even know you are gone with me. They will be very well taken care of with update pics and videos. I’m currently employed full time. I love dogs and want to help wherever you need. The weekends are more flexible for me. The weeks I can help out after 5:30pm. I will love and care for your baby like they are my own. Meal preparation, bath and brush time if needed. Also lots of yummy treats.😊🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Smithfield is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,283 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Smithfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smithfield. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
