“Lauren is a wonderful communicator and even helped my friends coordinate daytrips with Scruffy during my two-week trip. When Scruffy ran into some anxiety issues from the prolonged time away from me, she proactively sourced some meds to alleviate his stress. The house and my plants were well cared for, I heartily recommend Lauren!”
“Chelsey was absolutely incredible! We were away on an international trip for over 10 days and she was the most perfect house & pet sitter for our sweet, old senior pup. I tend to have anxiety when we travel and Chelsey made sure to send me updates and multiple photos every day to help ease my mind that all was well back home. She showed such love and care for our pup Donut, and our home! She even went above and beyond when, due to flight delays and issues on our return trip home, we needed to have a friend stay unexpectedly for an additional night by washing our guest room linens and towels to make sure our friend had what they needed when she left. We will 100% be booking with Chelsey again and I can't recommend her enough for anyone who needs pet-sitting support! <3”
“Hongyang is very kind, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. She is someone you can trust with your home and pet. She was able to handle my 'senior citizen' cat with no issues. I am happy to be another one of her clients happily leaving a 5-star review!”
“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!”
“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”
“Ethel was amazing! My husband and I traveled out of the country for 9 nights (which turned into 10 thanks to a missed flight) and any nerves I had about leaving our three dogs were quickly dashed by Ethel's photos and updates. We left our three large female dogs in her care and joked they were on a better vacation than we were. Ethel stayed in our house and gave our girls tons of attention and love. She sent us photos and videos multiple times a day, every day. We never wondered what they were up to. It was so reassuring. Ethel truly loves dogs. Her little nicknames for ours, the photos of them passed out next to her with their tongues out totally comfortable... it was clear they were in great hands. We are so glad to have met Ethel. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Anna stayed with Maggie for a week while we were in Portugal. Besides being very sweet and accommodating, she went above and beyond just watching Maggie. She got the mail, watered the flowers outside, checked the skimmer baskets in the pool and added some chemicals for us and washed and changed the sheets. The house was left exactly as it was when we left. Best of all Maggie, who doesn't like strangers to touch her, warmed up to Anna and seemed to get very comfortable with her based on the updates and photos we received. We also had a second sitter because we were gone for 2 weeks and couldn't find anyone available for the whole time, so Anna met with the second sitter and went over everything with her before she left. We would definitely book Anna again and now we feel more comfortable leaving Maggie, when before it was very much a challenge and other options hadn't gone well (drop ins, staying at other people's houses).”
“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!”
“Kylie was super helpful in our last minute request to take care of our pets while we were out of town. She was kind to them and took great care of the house. We look forward to having her back!”
“Sha’Pri was an amazing pet sitter and I would 100% have her watch my Yorkie again. She had great communication and sent updates every morning and evening. She did a great job handling my 15 yo dog’s slightly complicated medication and food routine. When we got them, the house was spotless, the sheets were washed, and dog TV was on!”
“Paige did a great job taking care of our Golden. She was super responsive and communicated often, with updates and photos. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog and our home in her care.”
“Ana took good care of our Golden Retriever while we were away for a few days. She was very detail oriented requesting to meet him in advance ad well as understand her responsibilities during the time we would be gone.”
“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!”
“5 stars! Hannah is our go-to sitter and always takes great care of our pets and home. Excellent communication, regular updates, and everything was in great shape when we got back. We never worry when Hannah is staying with Dakota and Watson. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
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!!
Sha’Pri was an amazing pet sitter and I would 100% have her watch my Yorkie again. She had great communication and sent updates every morning and evening. She did a great job handling my 15 yo dog’s slightly complicated medication and food routine. When we got them, the house was spotless, the sheets were washed, and dog TV was on!
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!
Baxter seemed well taken care of while we were gone! Ruth Ann was very responsive to our requests for status updates on the little guy. She even brought in the groceries when they got delivered & checked the mail for us (going above and beyond!) We’re hopeful Ruth Ann will come back and stay with Baxter in the future(:

FAQs for House Sitting - Smyrna
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smyrna. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
