“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. :)”
“Hunter loves Emersyn! He’s usually pretty shy and really came out of his shell with her, even bringing her toys and playing on her drop ins! Our new favorite dog walker :)”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Miranda was excellent. She took care of our senior cat for a week and was very professional and loving with her. We came home to a happy cat! I also appreciate that her arrival times each day were consistent and in line with the times we requested. Will definitely request Miranda for future trips!”
“Kayla was awesome and totally reliable. She communicated with us each day with reports or questions and even got out introverted dogs to come out of their shells (a little bit:). Will definitely use her again!”
“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: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From walking my neighbors dog as a young child to having many dogs of my own I love pups of all types! I have a cutie dog of my own, Roy. People tell me I am a dog whisperer! Every dog I meet loves me and even timid shy ones friend up to me. My main clients dog went from being scared of the stares and never coming downstairs to sitting on her lap while in her office and hanging his head out of the car window! All he needed was a little courage! I took him all around town with me and he is now out of the house more than he has ever been! I own my own business so am super flexible with walking. I do it because I love it and use the app a lot for my own dog! I care for pets by being gentle, calm slow and making them as comfortable as possible. I follow the rules in your descriptions and am very detail oriented!
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 any 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 drop-in, 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 after every visit 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.
“Emily was a fantastic dog sitter for my dog, Molly. She was punctual, attentive, and showed genuine care for her. Molly came back happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my cat Dana while I was out of town. She even fed the feral cat outside for me while I was away. Everything was in order when I returned and I'm just glad to be with my little baby again.”
“Mary took excellent care of our kitty Lily while we were out of town and went above and beyond in giving us detailed updates, sending many pictures, and even grabbing our mail. It was such a relief to know Lily was in great, caring hands!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Katie was great and went above and beyond, plus communication was easy even on short notice. We’re so thankful to have found her. Can’t wait to use her again! Highly highly recommend.”
“Buckley put our mind at ease! She was attentive, responsive, and very detailed in their daily habits, attitudes and appetites. You can tell she really loves what she does! Highly recommend. Will definitely use her again.”
About: The Care Takers That is primarily me. I love pets. I have a dog of my own. I became a sitter because I know how important it is to have a safe and affordable place for our furry family members to stay. I also really enjoy training dogs. I usually spend 15 min per day trying new tricks with my pups and any guest pups in the house. My partner lives with me as well. He also loves dogs. He is a vigilant food and water bowl filler upper. He's also a loyal behind-the-ears-doggy-scratcher. The Companions Lola and Quinn are my roommates. Lola is an American Cocker Spaniel who is 9 years old. Quinn is our cat that is calm and friendly. They are both friendly with small and large dogs. The Home Is located off Ridge Road in Smyrna. The house has hardwood throughout and tile in the kitchen/sunroom. Pets are allowed in all areas of the home as long as they've been house trained. We have a large crate for dogs who have been crate trained and are comfortable staying in one while we are away. Dogs are allowed on the couch as long as owners allow this type of behavior in their own home (we don't want to break any obedience training that has been established). The Outside I live in a single-family home with a large back yard. It is 75% fenced with a natural tree line and small creek on the far end. Keeping pets contained to this area is manageable but pets can be kept on leash if they’re known to be runners! There are plenty of shaded areas. There is a large and small patio that the dogs have access to. On warm days I fill up the doggy pool. For the most part, the backyard is free-range. My pets play fetch with balls, sticks, and frisbees. They are very friendly and are not protective or territorial of their food or toys. I work from home most days and am available for walks, playtime, naps, and pet specific care throughout the day. We are up and moving round early and keep a pretty steady schedule. I have a large yard fenced on three sides with a creek bordering the final side where dogs can run and have fun in a safe environment (if mom and dad approve).
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.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Smyrna is $20

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!
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!

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.
