“Kelli was incredible. I felt she really loved on Jonquil. I had some travel difficulties at the start and she was gracious and flexible. She kept me up to date and sent pics. Jonquil loves Lucas, and misses him already. I think jonquil felt safe and loved on.”
“Daniela took wonderful care of our golden doodle! She provided pictures throughout the weekend, took him on walks, and accommodated a late pickup! I absolutely would book with her again!”
“Parker seems to have enjoyed his stay. Ok the meet and greet, he loved their home, their pup Charlie, the lovely yard and most importantly Christine & Miller. He peered out the window when we were leaving because he didn’t want to go. Parker spent most of his time with Miller and Charlie, and they all seemed comfy. Miller got many cuddles from Parker, which is awesome to see, and I picked Parker up, he was happy but not relieved. You never want your pup to run out like, “oh God you’re here! Take me home now.” If I stayed and chatted, he probably would have relaxed and played with Charlie more. It was comforting to know my guy (a senior) was safe and happy during his visit.”
“Our regular dog sitter was out of town and we were so happy to find Stacey. Stacey and her husband took great care of our 2 papillons. She was communicative with pictures and updates. Always such a relief to find someone your babies will be safe with and loved when you are away. If there is another opportunity to book with Stacey we will!”
“Min was fantastic with my pup! She cares very much about understanding each individual dog and their specific needs. I received lots of updates and pictures while away which helped soothe me and while I was out of town. Perfect sitter!”
“So happy we found a loving home that takes such great care of our dog when away. We received tons of pictures, updates, and even several videos of our pup having a wonderful time with Jayne, Mandy, Butchie, and Lady Farrah. Highly recommend!”
“Aenalia was a great sitter for my German Shepherd Zeus. She made sure to reach out with updates, made sure he had plenty of exercise at the dog park and gave him lots of belly rubs. Aenalia has definitely earned another repeat customer! Book with her if you want the absolute best!!!”
“Diandra is very honest and very kind dog sitter. My dog stayed one night at her place, and she sent me some fun photos of my dog. I’ll definitely give her a message when I need help. Thank you, Diandra!”
“Highly recommend Judy!!!! Our puppy, Cooper, is a true handful and Judy was super patient and loving while providing great care of him!! He turned a year old during the week she kept him and she even celebrated him with an adorable party hat!! She sent photos and updates daily, which we LOVED!! She keeps several dogs but they were all good temperaments! It’s like a puppy/doggy vacation resort ?”
“Took great care of my dog. Provided pictures, videos and updates. Very fast to respond to messages. Pickup and drop-off were easy My dogs review - he has been sleeping on the couch for the past 24 hours. A tired dog is a happy dog.”
“Dee went above and beyond caring for my dog while I was away. She communicated with me throughout the stay with pictures and updates. When my dog needed pumpkin for her stomach, Dee even went out and got some for her. She also kept her an extra day when my flight kept getting delayed, which I appreciated so much. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and I would absolutely trust her with my dog again! Thank you 🙏🏽”
“Anika is a wonderful sitter! She communicates very well throughout the stay, offers lots of pictures, and gives your fur baby lots of exercise. Royce has stayed with here 3 times and loves visiting! I’ll always book Anika for short or long stays ☺️!”
“Andrea is a great host. She has an incredible handle on the dogs and is always watching and playing with them. Buzz comes home exhausted after every stay. She will send pictures of the dogs playing, eating and relaxing through the stay. I could not recommend her enough.”
“Rasheeda was a great host to my Chanel. She kept me updated with video and pictures while I enjoyed my bday celebrations. I would definitely recommend and book again in the future. Service is unmatched. Great energy and very kind.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Randall took the best care of our senior silky terrier. We were so thankful to know he was cared for and we enjoyed the updates that she sent to let us know how he was doing. He has some special needs so we are hesitant to leave him with many people, but we knew he was in great hands with Randall.
Eduardo absolutely loves dogs! He helped our anxious pup, and her anxious pup parents, feel comfortable with her new environment and took great care of her for two whole weeks. He spent lots of time with us going over feeding and potty routines. Also he let our dog explore the entire house and backyard to get acquainted with the new surroundings. I highly recommend Eduardo!
Alicia was great! We were looking for last-minute boarding but hadn’t had the best experience with a commercial boarder. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier that we found Alicia. She responded quickly, and she was flexible about our changes of plan. She also sent pictures while we were away and gave my pup lots of love. Thank you so much!
This was our second time and we love Stacey and her husband!! They take such amazing care of my pup when I have needed to be away and I can relax as I know my pup is taken care of and happy. We will be using her again (and again!) in the future!! Thank you, Stacey!!
Steffinie took such great care of Emma! I could tell that Emma felt right at home with her and Damien, which made me so happy. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands and being well cared for while I was away. I truly appreciate the love and attention they gave her. I would absolutely recommend Steffinie and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Smyrna is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 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.

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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smyrna. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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 GA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
