“This was my first time using Rover and hiring someone to come into my home, I was very nervous and skeptical trusting someone to look after my baby but I really needed someone help and Emily felt safe. She promptly communicated with me and took on a kind of last minute meet and greet and booking. While checking in on stormi she was very interactive with me sending videos and photos updating how she was doing, which really helped because I was anxious about how stormi was doing for her first time with a sitter and ultimately a stranger. I think Stormi loved Emily and I will be using her in the future!”
“This was our first time trying the Rover app & Alexi was amazing!! She watched our kitties for the 4th of July and sent us adorable pictures of our pets and even got a paw print painting from our kitten!🥰 We couldn't be happier with how awesome Alexi was! She will definitely be our go to if we need a Rover in the future!”
“Jasmine has good communication and showed up on time to take care of my Leo <3 I didn’t have to worry about how my dog was doing with a new sitter because she gave plenty of updates and pictures.”
“Mary was amazing! She was so responsive & professional, and sent great photos of our cat Wally while we were out of town. I could tell he really loved spending time with her. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Kylah is absolutely amazing! She was able to meet myself and my babies prior to the dates I would be gone to get some familiarization which I thought was awesome! Sent over several pictures and summaries throughout the visit and was very communicative. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Sara is communicative, responsive and punctual! She plays with my kittens and pay attention to what they need. I’m grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone that need help with their pets while away from home”
“Randall has got to be one of the best Rover sitters out there - she watched our 3 pups for us while we were at a Braves game and we couldn't have been happier with how she cared for our fur babies! We aren't local to the area, so she called us ahead of time to do a "meet and greet" to make us feel more comfortable and then even went out of her way to provide local recommendations and tips for navigating the area during our stay. She arrived to our air bnb early and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay, and she was so flexible and accomodating with our fluid schedule. We completely trusted her with our pups and didn't have any worries the entire time we were gone. She made sure they got outside/play time, food and water, and plenty of snuggles. We absolutely loved Randall and wish we lived closer so she could watch our babies all the time!”
“Reign is fantastic! She was super attentive and caring when watching my cat. She took the time to meet my cat beforehand to see her personality and routines. Reign sent plenty of adorable picture updates as well. I highly recommend Reign and would book again!”
“This was our first visit with Jamie. We are testing mid day visits before we go full scale to house sitting overnight option. He was communicative, followed direction and the dogs seemed to take to him well. So far he has been professional and trustworthy.”
About: TL;DR: Great with meds, puppies & seniors | Smyrna & Metro Atlanta Hi! 👋 I’m Astrid, a reliable, medication-friendly dog sitter in Smyrna and Metro Atlanta specializing in drop-in visits for senior dogs. I cared for my own Pomeranian/Spitz mix from puppyhood through her senior years, so I understand how essential routine, patience, and gentle care are as dogs age. I also regularly dog-sit for a household with up to three dogs at a time (a large Boxer, a small mixed breed, and a Coton de Tulear), which means I’m comfortable managing dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities while making sure each one gets individual attention. WHAT I OFFER DURING DROP-IN VISITS: • Feeding & refreshing water • Potty breaks • Playtime & enrichment (adjusted to energy and mobility levels) • Reinforcing familiar dog commands & routines • Calm, attentive visits for dogs home alone • Care for multi-dog households MEDICATION & SPECIAL CARE EXPERIENCE: • Oral medication administration (pills & liquid) • Multiple daily medications & strict schedules • Pill pockets & pill-hiding techniques • Close attention to routines, behavior changes, and overall comfort I understand that dogs with chronic conditions need more than basic check-ins. They need consistency, patience, and someone who notices small changes. During every drop-in, I focus on keeping your dog comfortable, calm, and on their normal routine while carefully following your instructions & providing clear, dependable updates. I’m generally available most days (including weekends) for drop-in visits & keep my calendar up to date. If you’re searching for a dog sitter in Smyrna or Metro Atlanta (especially for a senior dog or a dog who needs medication), I’d love to meet you & your dog to see if we’re a great fit! Pet care fits naturally into my daily & weekly routine. I generally have availability most days, including weekends, and I plan my schedule around providing dependable, timely care for the pets I’m responsible for. I keep my Rover calendar up to date & only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I build in flexibility for drop-in visits, medication schedules, and check-ins that need to happen at specific times, especially for senior or medical pets. Because I limit the number of bookings I take at once, I’m able to give each pet my full attention, follow care routines carefully, and communicate consistently with pet parents throughout the visit period. In a client’s home, I follow all pet parent instructions carefully as long as they’re safe for the pet, and I communicate promptly if I have any questions or concerns. I use safe entry & exit procedures to prevent escapes; confirm doors and windows are secure; and keep food, litter, and medications organized & clearly labeled. I monitor cats closely for changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy, or behavior & provide timely updates if anything seems off. For senior pets or pets with medical needs, I use gentle handling & take the time needed to complete medications & daily care routines safely & comfortably. I maintain a clean environment for cats by refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, and keeping feeding areas tidy. My care is always pet-led, and I provide dependable updates and photos so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away.
About: I have had dogs as pets (aka family members) all my life, from small to large breeds. I have frequently taken care of dogs for family, friends, coworkers, you name it. I have experience with puppies all the way to seniors. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I am able to coordinate visits/house-sitting very easily. I have worked at all hours of the day/night before, so I’m very flexible. I am very detail-oriented, and I want to replicate your typical routine to the best of my ability to ensure your pet remains comfortable and happy.
“Kayla was on-time for every drop in visit. She was responsive, dependable, and sent a cute picture of my dogs after every visit. She followed all instructions with administering medications and feeding as well. My dogs loved her - and especially the extra belly rubs! Great job!”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a kid and strongly believe pets speak to us in their own language; we must simply listen! I am most proud of the training I did with my own two German Shepherds, neither of which had training previously. I very much look forward to spending time with your furbaby and treating them like my own!! I am open to early morning visits before 8 am and after 4 pm, Monday-Friday with lots of weekend flexibility. I am currently flexible overall as well, so that I may be open to re arranging my schedule, if you would like to reach out to me directly via the app! **Please share your preferred times/days and share if you are flexible in the visit timeframes.** I am only able to care for your pet in your home, for the time being. I request you share instructions on your preferences for your pet, the pet's temperament, and walk patterns where your neighborhood and pet feels most safe. My most recent dog behavior training includes dog body language and safety.
“Chackryia did such a wonderful job caring for my cats! She was communicative about any concerns she had and it made me feel safe entrusting the care of my cats with her. Her photos and videos showed just how much attention she put into making sure that my cats felt comfortable around her. She showed up on time and did exactly what I had asked!”
“You are the best, Jax loves the attention and care you provide him. It's so awesome just knowing our boy is in good hands when we are away, he always looks forward to your visits. We can't thank you enough”

Best dog sitter yet! Chackriya was so easy to work with and was very attentive to our dog. She documented key metrics (# of potties, treats, meals, etc.) and sent several pictures from the walks and visits. I could tell our dog was completely comfortable and enjoyed her company! Would highly recommend her services!
Jenny was so wonderful when I needed a last minute sitter for my Frenchie. Her communication was amazing and she gave great updates while I was away. I could easily tell that my pup was having a great time while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Jenny again.
I recently had Kaitlyn watch two of my pups for a couple of drop in visits. From the moment I first reached out, Kaitlyn was very responsive and communicative. At the meet and greet, she was timely, professional, and asked great questions. It was clear to me she had lots of experience. My dogs have their quirks so I'm very selective with who I have watch them. I could tell she was very confident being in a multi-dog home and even with large (50lbs+) and extra large dogs (100lbs+). I will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future!
So excited to have Sherri! She checked in on our 3 cats and dog aggressive dog and just fit right into the family. Our dog had an accident one night and she cleaned it up and took care of her like she was her own. She was able to give our cat his meds as well. Very happy to have her as an option instead of having to board our pup.
Joy was very responsive and accommodated the last minute changes without an issue. She was thorough and both dogs took to her well which says a lot ( Dot is finicky with people). She was easy to communicate with and reliable. Glad to have found her on this platform and will definitely book again. Thank you Joy!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Smyrna stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Smyrna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
