“Jenny took great care of our dog, Chestnut, while we were on a weekend trip. She was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures so we knew he was doing well! Chestnut also had a blast playing with her pups!”
“Timber had the BEST time at Jill & Thomas’s amazing dog friendly home. He played, and played, and napped and then played some more. He can home happy, healthy, and oh so tired! I received lots of updates while he was with them, both photos and videos. A+++ dog vacation spot.”
“Barbra and her family were the BEST decision we ever made!! We just got a dog and had a trip we could not cancel (scheduled before we got a dog) and were nervous about what to do. Choosing Barbra made everything so perfect. She was so attentive caring and kind, treated our dog as if it was her own. In fact i think our dog and her dog are new BFFs now ?. We got updates, pics and videos while we were gone to take all the nervousness away…she’s the absolute best, with a fantastic yard for the dogs to play. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave!! It was like a vacation for him too lol. Highly recommend Barbra and will definitely use again!!!”
About: We have been a dog family for the past 11.5 years! We love our dogs so much! We have an 11 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. They are sweet and fun and love other dogs! We have 4 kiddos as well who love caring for the dogs including our 12 and 11 year old girls who love taking the dogs for walks! We are a homeschooling family so we are home most of the time and don't kennel our dogs at all while we are home! We have a huge fenced-in backyard that the dogs love to roam and run around in! Playing fetch in the back yard is a highlight in our home!
“Emily was amazing with my furbabies, she made sure to be attentive to their every need. She treated my furbabies as her own, I was so please on all the photos that she sent me while I was away, to ease my separation anxiety, lol. My furbabies loved her, and I really, loved her set up and how she manages her time with each individual furbaby. Thank you so much Emily, for taking care of my furbabies, I would definately leave them with Emily again.”
“We were looking for someone to care for our Luna who would treat her like one of their own and keep her safe while we were away on vacation, and we found that person in Brittany. Her love for animals of all kinds and sizes is obvious and we are so grateful to have found a place like Safe Hayven Fields. The property is a perfect getaway with a large fenced in yard for running and playing, and the pool for pups that like to swim. Brittany is such a great caretaker, sending us daily photos and updates, even going above and beyond to replace Luna's bed when another pup made a hole in hers! We will be back and look forward to having Luna spend more time on the farm 💜”
“Deanna and her husband were absolutely WONDERFUL. The care and attention that was given to Maximus was more than I could ever imagine. I am extremely pleased with the updates and photos since it was his first time staying with Deanna. It definitely put me at ease knowing he was in excellent care.”
“Rackeem was awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He took excellent care of my fur babies and I highly recommend him! He provides daily updates and pictures so you can be assured your pets are safe and doing well while in his care. He's also a great trainer as well! He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.”
““I can’t thank Olinda enough for the amazing care she gave Ollie! From the moment we arrived, I could tell how excited and happy he was to be around her. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for dogs shine through. It’s such a relief to know Ollie was in such good hands.”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Justin & Stephanie for the outstanding pet sitting service they provided. They went above and beyond to ensure that Prince was well taken care of during my absence. Their regular picture updates and communication gave me peace of mind, and it was evident that Prince was in good hands. Prince returned home happy and healthy, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they provided. I highly recommend Justin & Stephanie to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.
“Patricia was great with our 1 year old dog who can be a little shy and difficult. Patricia took great care of her and was very attuned to her needs. Highly recommend Patricia! We'll be booking with her again.”
“Claudia did an amazing dogsitting job with Peter! She frequently communicated with pictures and videos. She kept him busy and entertained. Peter came home well fed and well rested. I will book with her again!”
“Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
“Lindsey was great! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos of our dog Rocky. We felt very comfortable with Rocky in her care. Will definitely use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Emily was amazing. She listened very carefully to everything we needed since our pup needs a little extra care. The videos and pictures were great and let us know he was having fun. He had his own space and still got to play with the other dogs. She was careful to match him with other dogs at his energy level. Only note is that she does take a little to respond initially/during the day but that’s just because of how much attention the dogs are getting.
Thelma was great with our dog Trey! As soon as he got to her home, he fit right in with her dogs! She showed us the areas he would be in while there ( which were secure) and made us feel comfortable about leaving him. Thelma sent plenty of pictures an communicated with us the whole time we were away. I would def rebook!
I have used Erin 2x now, and getting ready to book for the third time in less than a year. Each time she and her kids had my sweet ans hyper girl, I got pictures and updates daily on how she was doing. When we had a snow storm back in February, she even put her in the hoodie I sent so Hope could play in the snow. The roads were also not good, and Erin kept me posted of how they were in her neighborhood so that I could come when it was safe, all the while Hope was in great hands. As I said I'll be re booking for a third time, and really appreciate her taking such good care of my Hope.

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.
95% of sitters in Smyrna 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 Smyrna home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Smyrna.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Smyrna 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 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 .
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 DE 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.
