“This was my wife and I’s first time booking with Alycia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Alycia and her partner, Derek, were so welcoming and friendly, Thor seemed instantly comfortable in their home. Alycia provided thorough updates throughout Thor’s stay and was such a pleasure to communicate with. We will definitely be booking again and would absolutely recommend to others.”
“We felt so safe leaving our boys with Viki! She sent gorgeous pictures every day. She recognized that one of our dogs had a worm, and not only did she get medicine for him (with our approval, of course) but she found an online coupon and got the cost marked down. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
“Nothing but great things to say about Mandy! After a couple rough experiences with local boarding businesses, we've never trusted anyone other than family with our dog. Recently, the whole family traveled together and that led me to finding Mandy. From the moment we met her we knew she'd be a great fit. She sent pictures and updates every day that we were away. Snoop was obviously well cared for and had a great time while we were gone! Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“My puppy Onyx had a blast I was a little fearful because I just got him and he’s so small. He stayed overnight and when I dropped him off he was a little timid. By the time I returned the next morning he was running around with her lab like they were old friends. I would definitely recommend Shannon for your furry kids.”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“Absolutely amazing! My first time leaving my dog with someone and she gave ease with sending pictures/updates and being very flexible! I would absolutely book with Rachel in the future.”
“Sherry was so great with my dog and so easy to work with! She sent a bunch of cute dog pics and updates and it was clear Winnie was safe and had fun while I was gone. Thank you so much!”
“Loya was great watching our dog while we were on vacation! Milo has a separation anxiety, she took good care of him and spoil him. She sends us pictures and video daily. Will definitely ask her again to watch Milo!”
“I just love how Ebony cared for Samier. She communicated daily with words and pictures of how Samier was doing. When Samier returned home nothing was out of the ordinary he continued his routine right away. We cant wait to use Ebony again in two weeks.”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Sarah was AWESOME. We were gone for 9 nights. She sent pictures every day. I swear, my one dog Marla was smiling in them. She boarded one other dog while mine were there, and they looked like they were having the time of their lives! They slept for 3 days after they got home. They were exhausted but in a good way. I will definitely ask Sarah to keep my fur babies again in the future. Thanks Sarah!”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Nicole was amazing with my corgi who is a little temperamental. He was happy and well taken care of when I picked him up. She had good communication and sent photos while I was gone. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Judith was great! Right from the get go I could tell she was experienced and was going to be attentive and caring, She really went above and beyond taking care of my dog and even made her special dinners. My dog and I are both super happy with Judith and I would 100% go back to her.”
“Tilly was so loved and cared for, I wasn't sure she'd want to come back home with me! I was so appreciative of the communication with updated photos and videos; I'm also grated for helps with behavior modifications since my dog is a foster and still learning the ropes. Highly recommended!”
“Katie's home was very welcoming to us and our Murray. We met Katie, her son, mom and sister at our meet & greet. A very friendly family, all dog lovers. Murray made himself at home immediately, checking out the new territory, and quickly found a playmated, Maggie. We had a comfortable feeling immediately with no concerns that Murray would be well taken care of. Katie will be our go-to-sitter if needed in the future. Murray seconds this decision. He enjoyed his vacation and slept for 2.5 days after coming home!”
“Jen was great with our dog, Kermit! She was communicative and sent pictures everyday we were gone. Jen was very accommodating to our dog's schedule and made sure that she was comfortable in her house and with her cats. We'd definitely book with Jen in the future!”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter I've ever met! She cared for my furry kids like they were her own. She sent daily updates and pictures. I could tell they were happy and comfortable. I didn't worry at all while I was gone because I knew they were in great hands. I'm so thankful I thought of rover.com and found Jennifer!”

There are 766 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Smithton. About 93% of Smithton 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.

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 IL 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.
