“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Another excellent sit by Lauren. Kept in touch as there was potential tornado alert that weekend! She made sure Rosie was safe and stayed with her. House clean and tidy on return she definitely makes leaving your pet and your home less stressful”

“I would recommend 1000 times ! She payed attention to my pup and gave her lots of cuddles and play time. She was very responsive and sent pics ! Will be using her in the future !!!”
“Jamie was a huge help house sitting for my two Boston Terriers this week. He was right on time as agreed, shared pics and updates, and the dogs didn’t seem to notice I was away! House was exactly as I’d left it too. Will definitely book again.”
“Ann-Marie showed up before the schedule time. Made my dog ECHO Comfortable..Gave him his food and took him out for potty breaks. Took very good care of him. Very professional and courteous. Will definitely use her service again next time.”
“Maura stayed at my apartment with my very anxious puppy and he adores her! I got multiple updates with photos throughout the stay and she was great with him. She also made sure to give his meds and keep him as close to his normal routine as possible. I will definitely be using Maura again when I’m out of town.”
“Amazing sitter. Ultra professional! Early and so kind. Our dog was so comfortable with her. She gave us frequent updates with pictures . Chelsey was an absolute gem 💎!”

“Serena did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was out of town visiting family. She gave me daily updates along with pictures and video. This was my first time using Rover. Your pet is in great hands with her.”
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.
“Ariana was simply outstanding! She was extremely flexible with her scheduling. She provided clear daily updates with pictures and was very prompt with response to any questions we had. She followed our care instructions to the letter. Would highly recommend her and definitely will use her again.”
“Jasmine was incredible! Kept me well informed about what was going on with Baxter. Spent lots of time outside with him. I could tell he had a great time with Jasmine! Will definitely use Jasmine again in the future to house & dog sit.”
“As Alia was a perfect overnight dog sitter. Our pups loved her and felt safe with her care. She went above and beyond with feeding, playtime, and keeping them happy while we were away for a two week trip. Even when a medical emergency arose, she acted quickly and was able to get our dog care without hesitation. I would recommend her to anyone. She’s one of the best sitters we’ve had!”
“Maddy was incredible with our senior dog. She stayed in our home while we were gone for a week, and she provided great care and updates throughout our time away. She is a very kind and trustworthy person and we highly recommend her for all your pet watching needs!”
About: I’ve spent all my life surrounded by pets - dogs, cats, rats, etc. I’ve assisted with socializing excitable dogs and feral cats. I currently have two kitties, a dog, and two geckos :) I work full time but I am available after work to check in on your fur babies and take them for a walk, or stay overnights if you are leaving your fur baby behind for an extended period of time. I currently have two cats and a large dog of my own at home, as well as two geckos. I try to ascertain their mood by their body language and engage them and meet their needs on their terms.
“Khadijah took great care of our Double Trouble Bandits (Jack Russell Terrior and Chihuahua Mix) LOL. She was extremely patient even with all of the initial barking. They both settled and eventually snuggled up with her. Thank you again and we would love to have you house sit again in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Smyrna is $50

Stephanie was great with my two dogs! She communicated clearly and I never once had to worry that they were in goods while I was away. I have a high strung working line GSD who insist on lots of play and Stephanie picked up on all her games to keep her entertained inside while it’s too hot outside. Already have another stay planned!
Highly recommend, Jen. This was our first time using her for housesitting. She was very thorough with the instructions we left and we got several updates throughout the weekend. Our dog and 3 cats seemed to warm up to her quickly! We will definitely be using her again :)
Bethany took great care of our pups and home! She was very communicative, sent regular updates/photos and treated our home like it was her own. Our one pup Shiya is older, has some health issues and extra needs. Bethany was so kind, attentive and patient with her. We would highly recommend her!
Alexi is simply the best! My dogs and I adore her! ☺️ She takes such great care of them, and I always love the pictures she sends. Her communication is also top-tier! This particular stay, I needed help with a package that was supposed to arrive before I left but got super delayed. It needed to be opened right away. Even though it wasn’t dog related, her eagerness to help me in a bind was truly appreciated! I couldn’t recommend her enough! ☺️
So grateful for Sha’Pri and the excellent care she took of Ari & Boss in our home! She had such calm energy and patience, the dogs were instantly at ease with her. She was understanding of their needs and went the extra mile to meet them where they are: a slow moving senior gal and a terrified-of-fireworks guy (on 4th of July). Her care gave us all peace of mind. We would happily book Sha’Pri again!
Megan did an excellent job taking care of my two girls! She made them feel comfortable and relaxed while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. They clearly enjoyed her company and didn’t get anxious, and I came home to two happy dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog sitter. Thank you, Megan!
Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!
Liza did an amazing job with our boys Kobe and Buster. She house sat for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and we couldn't have been happier. Our boys are very needy and have quite a few quirks about them and she managed everything with ease. She was a great communicator, left the home in immaculate condition and was great to the boys. On the last night Kobe had what seemed to be an allergic reaction so she took immediate action, Facetimed us and ended up taking him to the vet. It ended up being a non-issue, but her diligence and decision-making skills were impressive. We would absolutely use Liza again!
Megan was excellent in house sitting our two 9 month old kittens. She was very attentive to their needs and went out of her way to take care of them like her own. She was also super communicative and made sure to clarify things with us. She even sent their pics to us on a daily basis. The kittens seem healthy, happy and well taken care. Will definitely be rebooking Megan for future house sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Smyrna on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,692 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Smyrna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Smyrna walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Smyrna maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smyrna. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
