“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!!”
“Maura did a great job watching my girls! She responded quickly and she cared for my girls like they were hers. I felt very comfortable being away for my girls. I am definitely booking with her again soon!”
“Maya was amazing with our girls! She took extra care on our little one who was having some eye gunk an we just knew the whole trip they were being loved on and cared for. Maya was very communicative and sent so many updates and pictures which put us at ease even more. Will definitely reach out to her again if we need a sitter :)”
“Just got back to a lovely clean home and happy dog! First time we have used Rover and Lauren was very good with communication and photos everything went very smoothly and I would definitely book Laren to sit my dog again”
“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 !!!”
“Thank you for taking care of my over grown puppy. Greatly appreciated. Looking at your schedule. Amazing young lady. Very kind, gentle, respectful and amazing with my GSD who needs lots of attention.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This was my first time having Alexi watch my pups and home, and it definitely won't be the last! She did an awesome job, and judging by the photos of them snuggled up on her lap, you can tell they loved having her here! 🥰 She sent lots of updates, photos and videos. She also went above and beyond by working with my puppy, Bessie, on some training stuff. As far as my home, she was great with making sure all my mail and packages were brought in, trash bins went out on trash day, etc. It unfortunately rained here most of the time I was away, but she was great with managing the mud and wiping down the pups' paws when they came in from the backyard. Her attention to detail and top-notch communication were greatly appreciated, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies. ☺️”
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.
“Chelsey is phenomenal! She took care of our dog and 2 cats with care, attention and love and took care of our home. Chelsey is a fantastic communicator and sends photos and status updates consistently. Highly recommend Chelsey!”
“This was our second time using Rebekah and Sadie, we are beyond happy with their work!! They are so attentive and caring for our animals, and give updates/pictures regularly! We will definitely be using them in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Ashton spent 8 days homesitting our two babies Frankie and Dixie while we were away on vacation. She texted us daily with pictures and updates on how things were going. We were pleased with her service, especially with her staying at our home with our babies. She took care of our babies and our checked the mail daily. Will use her again on future trips.”
“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.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
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!
Beth worked well with Gigi’s special dietary needs, monitored her eating, and was sure to give her plenty of outdoor and indoor playtime. She was patient with her noise sensitivity when an HVAC company had to replace a furnace/AC coil system, which was noisy and lasted an entire morning. Thank you!
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!
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 :)
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!

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.

- 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.
