“Lori was amazing. I've never left Duke with a sitter outside the family before and she made everything so easy. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent beautiful photos of him. I had another sitter here who canceled juts days before, and Lori not only stepped in close to the date but was especially accommodating for what I needed. Definitely will use her again, and strongly recommend her to others.”
“What a godsend! We couldn’t have found a better pet sitter for our dog. Barbara treated our baby like her own, which is a gift when we were out of town. I highly, highly, highly recommend Barbara and cannot wait to send our little guy back to her on our next trip!”
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”

“Marci and her family were warm and welcoming to our dogs. She was reliable and communicative. She provided regular photo updates and the dogs were well cared for. Thank you again!”
“I was very nervous about Bean staying with someone new especially when there would be other dogs in the house. I asked Kristen a million questions and she answered them all with grace. She sent me multiple updates a day and Bean was having a grand ol time! She paid attention to the instructions provided and even asked before giving her specific treats. My mind was put at ease while I was away knowing Bean was in good hands!”
“Kim was so warm and welcoming, overall just so understanding and patient with my Aslan. She always kept me posted with pictures and updates. I felt so comfortable with her taking care of my cat. I'm so very thankful!!!”
“Amazing experience. My dog, Lucy, was so loved and cared for. She had a blast. The only downside is she didn’t want to come home and wanted to stay with her new friends. LOL. Highly recommend!”
“Blanca is Amazing!!! She immediately loves my charlie and eased my worries. She gave him extra loving care and I couldn’t be happier! I will be recommending Blanca to ALL and using her again!”
“Jousline did an amazing job caring for my French Bulldog, Jorden. She was attentive, reliable, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Jorden can be a little particular, but Jousline was patient and handled everything professionally. I also appreciated the updates and communication, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jousline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“I found Domenique last minute because I made last minute plans to go to Atlantic City for New Year’s but everyone on Rover seemed to be busy and the last sitter I used was asking for $350! I’m so glad I found Domenique because I needed someone kind and caring for my precious Teddy . Once Teddy met Domenique he was comfortable and was happy in her home. She sent me photos of Teddy sleeping and it was comforting. I would recommend her to anyone and plus she didn’t try to overcharge which was a plus . Anyone coming to Atlantic City should call her because she is very close to the strip and it’s very convenient to go there in case you want to check up on your precious baby. Thank you Domenique”
“My dog Mickey loved his stay with Ashley. She kept me informed of his activities and how he was doing. Sent me many pictures which I really appreciated. It was Mickey"s first stay with Ashley, and he will be staying with her many more times. He came back home very happy and was not at all stressed from his first doggy sleep over. I like the fact he is with other little dogs to keep him company, and to play with. I highly recommend Ashley . You will not be disappointed.”
“Kristin & Rafael were awesome!! Pogi is very shy getting to know people, but when we picked him up, it was clear that he had already bonded with them and their dogs. This was our first experience with Rover.com and Kristin & Rafael and we will be sure to have Pogi stay with them if needed in the future. Thanks! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Smithville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $50 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.
As of October 2026, there are 216 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Smithville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Smithville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smithville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Smithville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Smithville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
