House Sitting Smyrna

“Chris did an amazing job taking care of our home & German Shepherd. She went above and beyond and even cleaned the few dishes that were in the sink! Her communication was wonderful & we got some pictures of our boy while we were gone!”

“Katie was great! She arrived on time and did everything as agreed and kept my little buddy on his routine and made sure he was comfortable. He was very happy with his new friend and can’t wait to have her back again!”

“Kittiya is a super sweet very caring individual. Her professionalism is outstanding as she confirms and is there on time. Normally my kitties do not come out for strangers and they ran right up to her as though they already knew her my German Shepherd very much enjoyed spending time with her, I already have her booked for another visit. I highly recommend her.”

“Allison did a great job taking care of my dogs and cats!! She sent plenty of great photos to us, I could see that the dogs loved her. There were pictures of the cats cuddling with her as well :). I also really appreciated the after summary she wrote and left on the table for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants great care of their pets!”

“Kassidy does a good job!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.

“Anna took amazing care of Chap! She took him for daily walks, snuggled with him and played. She sent me pics to show me how happy he was! Thank you Anna!”

“It was our first time using Marsha. She stayed I will book her again. She was responsive and communicated well. She sent pictures daily and walked our very active dog Track more than we requested. He loved it! She left the house neat and clean. I would recommend Marsha!”

About: I have had my dog for 7 years now, and we have adopted our cat last year. I have also grown up with animals all my life and have helped friends and family take care of their animals! I am a teacher, so I have availability during the weekday in the summer. I am also available during the school year, but that is only on the weekends or evenings I enjoy taking my dog on walks around their neighborhoods so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes. I also love playing with animals inside or outside.

“Sarah did a great job staying with our pup for the week! We received regular updates and our dog was well taken care of while we were away. Sarah was also respectful of our home as well. We would gladly have her take care of Maya again in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of my family’s and friends dogs since I was in high school. I have stayed over at houses dog sitting or even just stopped by to let their dogs out. I am currently working full time during the week but I may have time after work some days. I am free on the weekends. I have a dog and am out walking him on the weekends. I have a huge back yard and I am in a great spot for long walks on the trails. Greenville has many trails. I am also flexible to come to you.

About: I've had cats my whole life, so I'm used to the day to day of caring for an animal and noticing when something's off. I've also dog sat for my aunt a handful of times: feeding, walks, letting them out, and keeping them company. I'm reliable and I actually pay attention. I'll follow whatever routine your pet is already used to instead of forcing my own, and I'll send updates so you're not left wondering how they're doing while you're away. My schedule is flexible right now, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins, including weekdays. I'm happy to work around whatever your pet's routine already is rather than making them fit mine, and I can be reliable about timing. For visits and house sitting, I follow whatever routine you already have. You tell me the feeding, walks, and any quirks, and I stick to it exactly instead of improvising. I'll make sure doors and gates stay shut, keep an eye on how your pet is doing, and message you if anything seems off. I have a cat of my own at home, so I'm used to keeping an animal safe, fed, and on a schedule.

“Bryant is really great with my pets. He sends me photos of them while I'm away and sends updates as needed. My house is clean when I get back. My husband and I really appreciate him and will continue to request him in the future.”

About: I have been taking care of my family’s and our friend’s dogs since I was 13. I have been able to take care of many different dogs, most with varying levels of basic medical needs such as medication, or a specialized diet. I will be working part-time, so I will not be able to be in the house all day. This will not stop me from giving your dog the utmost care they deserve. I am happy to share my work schedule just to give an idea of my availability during the sitting period. I have no problem tending to any dogs’ needs whether that be lots of attention, medication, regular walks, or providing an enriching space for them to play. I have taken care of many dogs with varying levels of needs, so this is no problem at all.

“Our dogs enjoyed being able to taken care of by Leanna. They were able to be loved on and cared for like they were family.”

Lisa W.

About: I grew up with cat and dogs, mostly inside cats, and a lot of kittens. I also have grown up with dogs, taking them for many for walks. I love all animals and treating them like family. I am a retired veteran who takes special care with the needs of your fur babies. Whether that means staying in your home or doing drop-ins, I am available. I am very attentive and do not leave animals outside unattended. I am also very respectful and have a great deal in attention to detail. I leave the house sitting the same way it started.

“Shannon was fantastic. She was able to come in and help us when we needed someone at the last minute. She has a way with dogs and was able to not only care for our pups but created an environment where they were comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Shannon any higher. She will be our go to Rover moving forward.”

Christopher B.

“We booked Soly last-minute to watch our pup over a long-weekend after our usual sitters weren't available. Soly was very quick to respond to our messages and thorough in his replies. He came to our meet-and-greet ready with questions so that he would be fully prepared for his time in our home with Tuuli. He was very thorough and curteous. We got regular updates with photos and came home to a happy dog and clean house. He even left a little thank you note and treat for Tuuli! We would happily have him house sit again.”

Carrie H.

“Lillie stayed with my two dogs in our home for 10 days . She came over to meet them and again right before we left . Her communication prior to us leaving and while we were gone ,was awesome. She also accommodated big changes to our plans . The dogs did great and she sent pictures which made me happy ! This is my first experience with Rover and leaving someone I had just met with "my kids". Lillie did a great job. I would recommend her and will use her again .”

“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”
