“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”
“She was absolutely fantastic. She took exceptional care of both of my dogs,one of whom has mobility challenges and requires twice daily medication and handled everything with total confidence and compassion. She was incredibly knowledgeable about keeping my dog calm during a thunderstorm, and her calm presence made a huge difference. She stayed longer just to make sure they felt safe, and to make sure my dogs were settled, and even took my trash to the curb—such a thoughtful touch. I couldn’t have asked for better care. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in her care. Highly recommend.”
“Alexi took such great care of our 6 pets! She got a really good introduction to their personalities at our met and greet. She had learned they love to be sung to when getting their post meal treat, and she did the singing for them while taking care of them! She gave great video and photo updates. I did not once worry about their care. I will definitely use her again!”
“I had a great experience with Marcus! He was incredibly patient and understanding with my dog, Carter, who can be a bit anxious around new people. He took the time to make Carter feel comfortable and handled everything with care and professionalism. I really appreciated his communication and reliability throughout the stay. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I ran a neighborhood dog-sitting business that cared for over 4 dogs a week. I currently love my family dogs: the feisty corgi and the loving german shepherd. I have been relied on to feed, groom, walk, and care for pets for years. I am a recent medical school graduate who has been taking care of healthcare patients and dogs for several years. I have been trusted with pets, children, and adults for years, but animals have a special place in my heart. My first dog lived for over 12 years, so I do have experience with older dogs as well. I am currently working as a dog-sitter full-time. I am free to take your doggies anywhere you would like in the area. I currently live next to a dog-friendly park and am also free to take your dog even for just a few hours. Whenever you need me, I am there! Caring for your pets at your home is fully up to your discretion. I have offered this at my previous dog-sitting business and it worked amazingly. I can come in to check on your doggie at any time or stay in house. I am very flexible and a great listener to instructions.
“Valarie was amazing - from great and clear communication to every single expectation being exceeded, she was fabulous. She took wonderful care of our home (it was like we never left) and our dogs were clearly loved and well taken care of. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using Valarie again for future stays!”
“George quickly built a strong relationship with our dog, Wicket. We got so many updates while we traveled overseas I never had to worry. Was delighted to find a calm and happy dog and a tidy house upon our return. George also was able to provide more advanced care for Wicket due to his Vet Tech experience and we needed that as Wicket was injured before we left for our trip. Overall very pleased.”
“Rachel was great with both of our dogs (including the puppy)! She provided updates throughout the day and left our house very neat and clean when leaving. Will definitely book again!”
“Paola was great with our two cats and little dog! She kept the house super clean and messaged me pictures of the pets throughout when we were gone. I would definitely book her again!”
“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!”
“Hannah was a fantastic sitter. She took great care of our pets, kept everything clean, and made the whole process easy with consistent updates. We came home to happy pets and a spotless space, which is exactly what you hope for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Destini was great and really helped me to have peace of mind knowing that someone was with my fur babies during my vacation. She was very thorough and detail-oriented and helped me with not only my animals but with watering plants as well! Highly recommend her!”
“Brooke did a fabulous job. We did a meet and greet before our trip, and then she stayed in our home with our two dogs and our fish while we were away. She took notes about our instructions beforehand, she gave regular updates, and sent us pics of our babies. Our house looked great upon our return. This was our first time using a pet sitting service in our home, and it was definitely worth it.”
About: While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I grew up in a dog loving family. From German shepards, rottweilers, to miniature poodles we’ve loved them all! I enjoy going on walks the most and have no problem handling larger dogs. Along with experience of overnight sitting. I work a full time job; but am fully remote and flexible with my schedule. And am happy to provide walking services or drops ins at odd hours or during the day. As for the weekends, I’m almost always available! While going on walks and playing fetch are my favorite activities - I would be more than happy to provide any in home services. And treat client spaces with respect and leave things tidy.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Smyrna is $50

Bethany was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our boy and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands! We highly recommend Bethany and would absolutely book with her again in the future!
Rachel is absolutely amazing and made it so easy for me to leave for a week and not have to worry about my cat one time. She cared for him and my apartment so well! It was such an easy process and she communicated everything beforehand, so I did not even have to worry when the time came to leave my cat. I definitely recommend booking with her she is incredible!!
Macey did an overnight with my four dogs and did a fantastic job. She was on time, great communication, followed the home/dog rules and most important she was great with the dogs themselves. Spent hours playing fetch with them. I came home to happy healthy babies!
Lauren was very communicative with my Maltipoo, Blaise. I requested she stay in my home because Blaise has high anxiety levels when boarded. Blaise immediately took to Lauren from the initial meeting. She allowed him to cuddle with her and followed the directive’s I left. If she had to run out, she didn’t leave him unattended for more than three hours at a time. She even took Blaise out for walks. She was very respectful of my home and left it in neat condition and emptied any trash she had accumulated. I definitely will continue to request her because Blaise was very happy with Lauren. Thank you so much Lauren!
Ariana was incredible! Very professional and punctual, she immediately bonded with our giant puppy, cat, and guinea pigs. She was attentive and communicative during the weekend, providing many updates and pictures. And she left no trace that she had been in our home when she left. We simply cannot recommend her any more highly! 10/10, no notes!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Smyrna is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $87 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
