“It was an easy adjustment to leave my dogs at home with Katelyn while she stayed at our house. She cleaned up after herself and I was happy to receive all the updates while we were away. I’ve already rebooked her!”
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.
“Lauren was great. She was so sweet with Greta and sent pictures every day. She even made sure Greta had her bed nearby at night so they could be together. I highly recommend her”
“Maura was amazing!! She kept me updated with texts, pictures, and videos. She also made sure my dog took his medicine. I hate leaving my dog, but she put my mind at ease!”
“Chelsey was wonderful! She was communicative and took great care of our cats. One of our cats often gets stressed out when we are out of town, but when we returned home he showed no signs of distress! Both cats were very happy when we returned home. Also, our home was immaculate. Thank you Chelsey!!!!”
“So kind, helpful in ways that were above and beyond the call of duty, communication is too notch, and my puppy was so well cared for in my absence that he might not have care in Jamie never left! Love him and his service!”
“Lauren was SO AMAZING! Not only did she petsit for my senior dog Howard but she house sat as well. She communicated daily with photos of Howard! She also cleaned up the house before she left! I cannot wait to book her again and Howard was not depressed when I got home. Usually he is depressed and takes 1-3 days to be his happy usual self, not the case with Lauren. I would highly recommend her as a house and pet sitter!”
“I can’t recommend Anna enough! I had horrible anxiety about one of my seniors with worries he might pass away while gone on our trip. Anna kept us updated everyday with pictures and statuses. I could tell all my babies were loved and well cared for while we were away. They were even a little depressed after we got back. I think they miss her! ?❤️”
“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.”
About: I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely care for animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. My attention to detail ensures that feeding schedules, walks, and playtime are always consistent. Pets respond well to my calm and caring nature, making it easy for them to trust me and quickly feel at ease. I’m currently working full time however I’m available most evenings and weekends. Please contact me for more specifics. Thank you for your interest and time. I care for pets by making sure they are healthy, happy, and loved. I feed them nutritious food, give them clean water, and ensure they have a cozy place to rest. I spend time playing with them every day and take them for walks or provide toys to keep them active. plenty of affection help them feel secure and cared for.
“She did such a great job staying with our two old lady dachshunds! Gave us the peace of mind we needed while we are away, with lots of photo updates, responsive, on time, and took great care of them and our home. Will definitely be having her come stay with the girls again!”
“Alana was awesome with Marvin! He’s dog reactive and has tummy troubles (GSD) which make him sometimes not want to eat. She patiently worked through it with him and kept me updated, kept in mind the hot weather and he’s a double-coated dog and he might poop out pretty quickly. My flight was delayed bringing me back home at 2am instead of 11pm and she even changed the sheets so I didn’t have to when I got there. Marvin was clearly calm and happy when I returned, the house looked cleaner than when I left it, and best of all Marvin was in great spirits. Thanks Alana!”
“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!!”
“Austin was great! He kept us updated on how things were going regularly. This was my first time leaving my girls with someone they didn’t already know and it was a great experience!”
“Camila did such a great job, I will definitely be a repeat client. She was my my puppy all day at my home, and she kept me well informed with plenty off updates, pictures, and videos.”
“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!”
“Susan was great to our two girls while we were gone for 12 days! She was very attentive to all their needs and quirks. She paid special attention to both dogs. Your pets are in great hands with her. Thank you for everything!”
About: Hello, my name is Macheala Hamilton! I recently graduated with my bachelor’s degree and am currently working toward my master’s degree. I’m originally from Arkansas, but I’m currently staying with family in Georgia and would love the opportunity to care for some amazing pets while I’m in town. 🐾 I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a proud dog parent to two of my own babies, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also helped friends by pet sitting and caring for their pets like they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just loving company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a stay at home student. I am completing my masters degree fully online while taking care of my 2 adorable dogs. I have a very flexible and open schedule due to being remote. I have a variety of experience with different dogs. I have a fenced in backyard so my dogs are able to run around outside when I need to leave the house. However, my friends dog that I sometimes watch have to be left inside a crate when no one is around. I fully understand that no one dog is the same
The median cost per night for house sitting in Smyrna is $50

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!
We had a wonderful experience with Beth! She stayed at our home while we were away and took excellent care of our dogs and our house. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire stay-she sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. When we returned home, everything was just as we left it, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.
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!
Thank you, Alexi. It was a pure joy to know that my Riley was in good hands while all three of us were away. Riley is a very spoiled dog that does not realize he’s a dog so he needs loving and caring people like yourself to sit with him and I appreciate you so much.
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.
Caroline was exceptional. She communicated to ensure she understood all details of our trip and our dog’s needs. They were well cared for. We never had a concern. It was so nice not having to worry while we were away. If we ever need dog care again, she would be our choice.
Tapanga was great! Our dogs loved her and she showered them with affection the whole weekend. Three dogs is a lot but she didn’t complain at all. She sent great pictures and updates. Just enough to keep us informed a not too many as to disrupt our vacay. The house was exactly as we left it. We definitely plan on using her again. Our dogs loved her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Smyrna on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,657 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.

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.
