About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13 years old with different needs and requirements. I have watched neighbors, family, friends and others animals. I would walk, feed, play, and supervise the animals. I do work full-time but can help in the evenings and weekends. My boyfriend and I currently have our own dog so I have a schedule that can work with yours! I can ensure that your animal will be loved and taken care of by following your directions requests. I will make sure to keep your animal will be on schedule and loved while you are away.
About: I’m definitely the type of sitter who pays attention to the little things! 🐾 I know every dog has their own personality—some want to play all day, some want all the cuddles, and some need a little time to warm up to you. I’m patient and let them get comfortable at their own pace. As a dog mom myself, I have hands-on experience with everyday dog care, including feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic medication, and keeping an eye out for changes in behavior or how a dog is feeling. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra potty breaks, playtime, and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m big on communication too, so expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! 📸🐶 I want you to feel like your pup is hanging out with someone they know, not just being “watched.” Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! 🐾 I work during the week, but I have flexibility in the evenings and more availability on weekends. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention because I have a pup of my own. I’m especially available for evening drop-ins, walks, and weekend care. I like staying active, so having a furry walking buddy is honestly a bonus for me 😂🐶. I’ll always make sure I have enough time to give your pup the attention they deserve without making them feel rushed! I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible because I know how much dogs love their routines! 🐶 I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and of course plenty of love and attention. When pets stay with me, I make sure my home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I keep anything they could get into out of reach, make sure doors are secure, and always keep an eye on them—especially when they’re getting used to a new environment. I also have a pup of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable around each other. When I’m in your home, I’m just as careful and respectful. I’ll make sure doors are locked, your pup is secure, and your home is left the way I found it. And of course, expect plenty of pictures and little updates along the way! 📸🐾 Whether your dog wants to play all day or considers napping a full-time job 😂, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Elle is absolutely wonderful and all four of our cats loved her visits. She took great care of our babies and went out of her way to make sure everything was in order and communicated while we were gone for a week. She’s also really sweet! Super recommend her and her services if you need a trustworthy sitter.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the go to pet sitter for family and friends, and I’ve had plenty of hands on experience with everything from walks and feedings to playtime, baths, and giving pets the attention they deserve. My goal is to make both you and your furry friend feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I understand how much your pet means to you they’re family and I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I’m always willing to go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well taken care of. Whether it's sticking to a specific routine, following special instructions, or just giving extra snuggles, I’m here for it all! Currently I am working part time so I have more than enough time to keep them company & have some fun go for walks and give them the best cuddles ! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for just like they would with you. If your pet is staying with me, I’ll do everything I can to create a calm, cozy environment that matches their routine and needs. I always follow any specific instructions you leave feeding schedules, walks, medications, or quirks that make your pet unique. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. I take safety seriously and never leave pets unattended in unfamiliar situations. And of course, you’ll receive plenty of updates, including photos and videos, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I want you to know your pet is not only in good hands but also having a great time! Side note: please please be very clear in your instructions and say exactly what you’d like and how you’d like me to take care of your fur babies it’s sooo helpful for me. Thank you!
About: My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, home-away-from-home where your dog feels happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the day. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom for over 17 years, I provide a boutique in-home daycare experience where every pup is treated like family. I keep a small number of dogs to ensure personalized attention, a calm, clean, and loving environment, and plenty of supervised play, walks, enrichment activities, and cuddle time. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care, including those with vision or mobility changes. Every day includes interactive play, mental stimulation, potty and meal routines, and daily photo and activity updates, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Caring for dogs is my priority, so your furry family member will receive plenty of supervision, playtime, affection, and companionship in a loving home environment. Your pup will enjoy a safe, clean, and loving home with plenty of supervised playtime, scheduled walks, potty breaks, and lots of affection. I also have access to two on-site pet parks for exercise and socialization. Crate accommodations are available for puppies or dogs who are crate-trained or require quiet time. My friendly 1½-year-old Yorkie-Maltese, loves making new furry friends and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for every guest.
About: Currently have 2 dogs, Henry & Scout (aka Beanie & Weanie), also known as my furry kids. Lucky enough to have lived my whole life around dogs; I grew up with 6 dogs, lived with dogs in college, and now live with my girlfriend & our 2 wonder dogs. I work from home so my dogs get more than enough love; let me help share some with yours while you're away! I work from home and many times away from the computer, so I’m available to help on a very flexible schedule, and can be reached almost any time. I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so I know how to handle different dogs accordingly, and adjust as we get to know each other better.
About: Ever since I was a kid my family has always had two dogs. Since a young age we had responsibilities whether it was feeding the dogs to taking them on a walk to brushing them. My siblings all have dogs as well and I have looked after them. I am currently a student at Auburn university. My hours are fairly flexible during the week with more flexibility on Mondays and Fridays. I am extremely flexible during the weekend. Having two dogs of my own I can assure you I provide a very fun loving safe environment for your pet. I am very good at following instructions so whatever you tell me your pet is allowed to do I will follow that.
“I absolutely love Michaella! Super reliable, great energy, and so sweet with my fur babies. She’s respectful of my space and always makes sure everything’s in order. I’ll book her every time without a doubt!”
“We always get Estefania to watch our sweet girl when we are away! We feel confident knowing she is in good hands. She plays with her takes her on walks makes sure she eats and uses the bathroom and she always sends a ton of pictures and videos! We are so grateful for Estefania!”
About: I'm very flexible, and have lots of experience with dog training/behavior and general animal care. I have volunteered at shelters, worked with dogs on farms, fostered, and even worked with service dogs! I also exept small animals, reptiles, exotics, etc. Everything furry, scaly, or feathery is welcome! I won't be able to offer boarding in my own home at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience! I'll be available to house-sit, do drop-ins, walks, and light training and grooming for those that need help with it. I treat all animals according to their needs, emotionally, psychologically, physically, and with unending patience. I'm a researcher by nature, and have acquired a lot of knowledge on all types of pets and wildlife.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Ella was amazing! We were leaving for Europe for two weeks and needed a last minute pet sitter for our golden retriever and cat! She took our dog out three times a day and fed both once a day for two weeks while we are gone. We returned to them both very happy and healthy! She was great to work with and even sent pictures of our sweet pets. Thank you so much!
Kaitlyn was amazing. I have heard of the Rover company but never needed outside help. The pre-meeting with Kaitlyn set my mind at ease. She made me feel so comfortable with the process. I knew my dogs would be in good hands. I came home to two happy girls and a house well cared for! I appreciate everything she did for the dogs and for me.
I highly recommend Sydney! She is incredibly reliable and so very sweet to my babies! They usually are aloof to strangers, but they were super affectionate with Sydney the moment she walked in our door! Dogs absolutely can sense who is a good soul and who is not. We are very lucky to have found Sydney!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Smyrna is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Smyrna 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
