Chris did a great job house sitting for our golden retriever. Her communication was great, and she responded right away with updates whenever I checked in. The house was super clean when we got back, and she took good care of our baby. Would use Chris for house sitting again.

Everything went well! We were able to communicate easily with Ellyanna, she sent us cute pics, and the pups seemed like they were happy, comfortable, and had a good time and their needs met 😊 The house was the way we left it, and we had peace of mind that our home and pups were in good hands while on our camping trip! We appreciate it 🙏

About: I had a hamster, mice, and fish. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and a lovely farm dog. I had a pet dog who sadly passed last year, but he was my everything for the 5 years I had him. I am tired of working in the fast food industry so I would love the opportunity to leave and take care of animals full time. Anything and everything they need! I will take them for long walks, play with them, give them the extra love! They're family and deserve the best care they can get. <3

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.

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.

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: My family has always had at least one dog throughout my whole lifetime so I had a lot of experience with dogs and exposure to different breeds. Since I moved to college I have dog sat for a couple of different families, so I know how to meet the around the clock needs of dogs. I enjoy going for walks and I enjoy having a companion, so I would love to walk or play with your dogs! I have most availability early mornings and evenings as well as weekends! I work from home usually once a week so feel free to message me even if you have a midday need one day! I enjoy going on daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! I am open to watching your pets overnight, but at this point in time I would be willing to watch your dog in your home! I am also willing to come let your pups out, take them for walks, and even just play with them.

Caroline was great! Communication with her was prompt and easy. My house looked like no one had even been here. It was so clean when I got back, but the biggest thing is my mini bernadoodle took to Caroline almost immediately and she doesn’t always do that. I receive plenty of text and pictures about how things were going because I was very nervous as this was my first time and Caroline was great at that. She stayed with my puppy the whole time which was something I really wanted. We will definitely be using her again..

FAQs for House Sitting - Smyrna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 806 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:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
