“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. :)”
“Serena was so amazing. She is a really caring and dedicated sitter, very patient and nurturing. She can handle working with two larger size dogs, I hope to work with her again in the future.”
“Juliana responded promptly to my request and was able to feed my cats within just 2 hours of my sitter having an emergency. Complete with pictures of my babies and able to meet the needs of all three of my cats, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Nothing is more valuable than peace of mind and she provided that!”
“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!”
“Had to leave Leo for a long weekend to visit family in New England - never boarded him or left him with sitter before. Randi did great job taking care of Leo and we appreciated the feedback I. How he was doing and the photos”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and cats since I was 15. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, groom, and train their pets. I work from home and have full availability to care for and play with your pets! I’m available for day care, boarding, house sitting, dog or cat walking, occasional checks ins for feeding and play. I care for pets as if they were my own. I will diligently follow owners instructions and cater to each pets needs. I have experience with dog training and can easily implement tricks for all temperaments and breeds. 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 😊
“We love having Jennifer come check on our cats when we are out of town! She’s so nice and a great communicator. We’re so thankful she is there to take care of them when we are away.”
“Rebekah and her daughter were seriously amazing. They took such great care of our kitties and house while we were gone for a couple weeks. We will absolutely be using them again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet Milo. He was always in such good hands and you always made sure to keep us informed of him. Thank you for being so dependable”
“Katie was available last minute, and was just an awesome drop-in sitter for my Sweet Pit Alina! When she noticed Alina wasn't eating (most likely due to separation anxiety) she cooked her up something, with my permission of course, to get her back eating her kibble. I would definitely book Katie again for any of her services!”
“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!”
“Buckley did an amazing job watching our kitties while we were out of town! She always gave us a heads up with her anticipated arrival time, and took great pictures that showed that the cats had a nice time playing her with while we were gone. I'll definitely rebook with Buckley in the future :)”
About: Hello! My name is Chioma Okafor but you can call me Ash! I love caring for dogs and cats! I’ve been volunteering at animal shelter since I was 17 years old in Virginia and moved to a different shelter in Georgia. I made sure all the dogs and cats have been fed, socialized and cared for!

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!

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.
