“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!”
About: Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other pets of all temperaments, making sure every visit or stay is safe, comfortable, and full of love. I’m available for pet care Thursday after 3 PM through Sunday. I’m currently working full-time Monday through Thursday, so evenings and weekends are perfect for your furry friends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, secure, and cozy environment with plenty of space to play and rest. I supervise all interactions and provide enrichment through walks, toys, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines, respect your space, and ensure their safety at all times. Clear communication and regular updates give you peace of mind while your furry friend is happy and well-cared-for.
“Forrest was great! He made an initial visit to my house with me present so that my dogs would get acclimated to him, which I appreciated. He was very communicative about when he would be arriving for the scheduled visits and was timely. He always provided multiple pictures of my pups during each visit. I definitely recommend Forrest and will likely hire him again for whenever we need my dogs sitted!”
“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!”
“Sherri was amazing! She took the time to meet me and my cat before the visit for no extra charge. She also sent updates every time she was over, which made me feel so comfortable and cared for. She was great with Howard and he seemed to love her company. Will definitely contact Sherri again when I’m in need of her services :)”
“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!”
“I was away for a long holiday weekend and my usual pet sitter was booked, so I had to use Rover super last minute to find someone new to take care of my sweet BIG golden retriever and very shy kitty. Jessica was AMAZING. I was honestly very nervous leaving my apartment key with someone new while I was out of town, but had a good feeling about it the second I met her. Jessica has a big dog and a cat too, so that was a green flag. During my trip, she gave all of the updates I asked for, took perfect care of my pets, and even brought my trash can inside (without being asked to) because I left it out for trash pickup! I also got to meet her beautiful big dog when I got my key back. It’s reassuring knowing that she a very old large dog (11!) who looks incredibly well taken care of too. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. I’m definitely keeping her on my pet sitting list for the future. :)”
“Randall was professional and responsive from the moment we got in touch with her. She was so amazing with our dog and sent photos along the way. We would recommend Randall to anyone that needs pet sitting. So thankful to have someone taking care of and loving on our dog while we were away!”
“Emily was great. She met with us before we left to establish a relationship and sent us pictures/video updates every time she same over. Our Cane Corso loved her and was really happy. Will definitely be using Emily again next time we need him watched!”
“Great couple! Open communication! Famous enjoyed forest! Him and his Fiance came through last minute for me and I appreciate them so much! Highly recommend and he is very good and patient with my furbaby pitty!”
About: Senior pets • Daily medications • CKD cats 👋 I’m a reliable pet sitter in Smyrna serving Metro Atlanta. I specialize in caring for senior pets and animals with medical or special needs, including cats with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). After caring for my own dog and cats through their senior years, I understand how important routine, patience, and gentle care become as pets age. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities while making sure each one gets individual attention. 🐶 MY DOG EXPERIENCE: • Boxer • American Bully • Pit Bull Terrier • Jack Russell Terrier • Coton de Tulear • Pomeranian-Spitz • Mixed breeds of all sizes • Multi-dog households • Dog-and-cat households ♥️ WHAT I OFFER DURING DOG CARE: • Feeding and refreshing water • Potty breaks • Playtime and enrichment (adjusted to energy and mobility levels) • Reinforcing familiar dog commands and routines • Calm, attentive visits for dogs home alone 💊 MEDICATION & SPECIAL CARE EXPERIENCE: • Oral medication administration (pills and liquid) • Multiple daily medications and strict schedules • Pill pockets and pill-hiding techniques • Following veterinary instructions • Close attention to routines, behavior changes, and overall comfort 🐱 I also provide attentive care for cats, including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, companionship, and prescribed medications. I understand that pets with chronic conditions need more than basic check-ins. They need consistency, patience, and someone who notices small changes. During every booking, I carefully follow your instructions and focus on keeping your pet comfortable and calm while maintaining their normal routine. 📸 You'll receive updates and photos so you'll always know how your pet is doing while you're away. 📫🪴 I can also bring mail inside and water plants upon request. If you're looking for a dependable pet sitter (especially if your pet is a senior or has medical needs), I’d love to meet you and your pet during a free Meet & Greet. Serving Smyrna, Vinings, Marietta, Austell, West Midtown, Upper Westside, and Buckhead Since my transition from a software 9-5 to seasonal government work, I have pet sitting availability most days, including weekends and holidays. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and 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 and exit procedures to prevent escapes; confirm doors and windows are secure; and keep food, litter, and medications organized and 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 and take the time needed to complete medications and daily care routines safely and 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.
“Katie is soooo sweet to my KC. I hate leaving him when I travel, but I feel better knowing he’s in good, caring hands. She always gives me great pictures and details about their visits.”

The only thing you would have to worry about is your pet not wanting to go back home because they have such a great time with us 😊
“This was our first time using a dog sitter for our 2 dogs, and we were a little nervous because our small dog can be spicy, but Maddy was great with them! We loved getting the updates, and it looks like the pups were happy for Maddy to drop in. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
This is the first time we used an in-house Pet Sitter and Lisa was absolutely amazing! She captured great pictures of our pets and provided extra love and attention throughout the weekend. Her photos and writeups were a delight. From her taking our dogs on walks and letting them choose what direction to go, to making sure all were accounted for during each visit, it was a great experience for all!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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.
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.

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.
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.
