“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.”
“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 :)”
“Stacey was very communicative, responsive, and professional. She was okay with my dog's quirks and took care of them as instructed. She was even flexible with some changes I had to make to the booking. Will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“Megan was wonderful with my kittens. She was very thorough in her communications about their eating habits and attitudes. They were incredibly comfortable with her. She went above and beyond by taking the trash out and making sure their dishes had been rinsed out before I got home from my trip. I would absolutely book with Megan again!”
“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.”
“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”
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).
“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!”
“Bethany was wonderful to work with and an excellent cat sitter. She was very responsive, communicated clearly throughout, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. She took great care of Oliver, paid close attention to his needs, and it was clear he was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. I will be working with Bethany again.”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with our FOUR cats while we were away for a week. She even managed to get our two shy ones to come out a little. I really appreciated and enjoyed the daily reports and photos too! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Buckley has been so great with our little puppy. She is always on time and spends plenty of time with her (even helps train her!). I love the update pictures and it’s a relief to know she’s being taken good care of while I’m away!”
About: I have grown up my entire life surrounded by animals of all kinds—horses, dogs, cats and more—and have developed a deep passion for caring for them. I’m currently in chiropractic school and working toward my animal chiropractic license. Animals and I have always shared a natural trust and peace with one another. I truly believe we help heal each other. I will care for and love your precious pet as if they were my own. As a chiropractic student finishing up my last couple of quarters, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins and walks during the day, as well as overnight stays Thursday through Sunday. Depending on our schedules, I may also be available during the week for overnight stays. I’m happy to work with you to find what fits best for your pet’s needs! I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Making sure to keep you up to date with all the photos and messages you could ever ask for to make you feel comfortable. My love for animals is immense so any time I spend with any furry friend is a blessing to me!
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.
About: I love animals, and I’m very excited to help care for yours! I have two cats of my own who are very happy and healthy! I grew up helping care for the family pets, and personally took care of many small animals as well. I have experience with cats, small dogs, big dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. I recently graduated with my PhD in Microbiology from UGA, and am currently a researcher at Georgia Tech! I’m happy to walk your dogs (or cats), and will give any animal all the love and attention it could ever want. Snuggling, playing, talking: I can do it all. I work full-time in Atlanta, but am available for overnights, as well as morning and evening drop-ins as needed! I enjoy getting to meet and care for pets in my off time I like to leave pets happier than when I arrive! I can take dogs for walks of any length, provide medications, and give plenty of love and attention.

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.
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.

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.

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.
