“Abigail did a great job taking care of our babies! She sent us pictures and gave us updates so that we could feel comfortable and enjoy our time away. She also took care of our home and fed the hummingbirds! We would not hesitate to use her again!”

“Kaila was a delight and Max was in good hands. She made sure to meet him the day before and get the information on how to get in and out of our house. All in all, the best experience.”

“William did a great job over an extended holiday in a difficult situation where we had our pets and my daughter’s pet at the house. All the pets were happy and cared for. We would definitely use William again.”
“Angela was wonderful. She visited before the overnight to meet everyone, and they all reacted positively. I came home to a peaceful house with calm animals, everything was clean and neat, feeding areas were ready for the next meal. She contacted me when one of the gang had an accident, about my preferred method of dealing with it. She arrived promptly and started sending pictures and updates. We will be having her to house sit again.”

“Jordan house sat for us, taking care of our two cats and dog while we were getting married/honeymooning. She was absolutely wonderful, stayed with them for 9 days, took perfect care of our home, and our fur babies loved her. Would definitely recommend!!”

We have experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and special needs, including dog reactive dogs and those who require medication. Every animal in our care receives one on one attention, plenty of playtime, and all the cuddles or adventures they need to feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Your pets also get the benefit of companionship. Our 4 story townhome has a built in Golden Retriever bestie for dogs who love to have fun and a floor plan that allows for a calm, spacious environment for the fur-iends who don’t! We go the extra mile so you can relax while away and provide consistent communication and photos so you can check in without worry! Whether it is boarding, walks, drop-ins, or playdates, our mission is the same: to provide a loving, safe, and happy experience for every pet, making sure they are cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of our daily and weekly routine. I work from home full time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, cuddles, and supervision for every pet in our care. With a dedicated team of three, we ensure that coverage is always available for walks, playtime, meals, medication, and any special needs. We only board one pet family at a time, so your pet(s) receive consistent and undivided attention throughout their stay. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a long walk, or an extended stay, we integrate pet care seamlessly into our day so your furry friend always receives one on one attention, love, and consistency, even when our work or personal schedules are busy. Every day is built around the pets in our care, so they have companionship, enrichment, and comfort at all times. This routine allows us to provide a safe, happy, and stress free environment for your pet while giving you peace of mind! For drop-ins, we follow the schedule you provide, offering walks or playtime in the yard, companionship and belly rubs, and meal times to keep your pet happy and comfortable. In our home, we provide a dedicated space tailored to your pet’s needs. For pets who love to play, they will enjoy spending time with our Golden Retriever, Murphy, who loves to play both inside and out. With nearby walking trails and a pet park, your dog is ensured all the fun, exercise, and play they need. Boarding includes two half mile walks per day, a potty break, and indoor/outdoor playtime. Please note that dogs who require longer or additional walks may have a small extended exercise fee depending on the routine requested. For pets who need some space, we offer an entire level of our home pet-free, so they can feel comfortable and safe while still having access to cozy spots like a couch, belly rubs, and extended walks for extra stimulation. For cats, we provide a private floor where they can lounge, soak up the sun, play with toys, and enjoy a calm, comfortable environment without the stress of unknown pets around. We also provide a complimentary litter box, so you can board your cat without the worry of hauling their personal throne, just bring their preferred litter. For small animals, we offer a secluded and relaxing environment where they can enjoy their enclosure in a way that best suits their individual needs. Our approach is all about personalized care, comfort, and enrichment, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and stimulated while in our home or during visits.

“Briana was phenomenal!!! We entrusted her with our 3 dogs (one of them being diabetic) and 4 cats while we went half way around the world (we live in Georgie, USA and went to the country of Austria). She kept us constantly updated with frequent messages and photos which allowed us to enjoy and focus on our trip and not have to worry about the wellbeing of our fur babies … we highly recommend Briana for further trips.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 185 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Smarr. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Smarr walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Smarr maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Smarr choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
