“This is our first time using Rover and Abigail has truly made it a wonderful experience. She’s so timely in her communications and takes such good care of our high energy GSP pup! We are so grateful for her!”
About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and hold a Bachelors in Animal Science. I have worked professionally with animals since I was 16. I am comfortable with all breeds, ages, temperaments, and medical conditions. I am most likely to be free if booked 1 month+ in advance. I cannot provide care during the week due to my work schedule unless your dog has some way to potty during the day (ie dog door). I take exceptional care of the pets I am charged with! I stay the night at a client's home when requested, though I can also drive back and forth if you would rather I not stay in your home. I work full time (M, Tu, Th, F) and I am off Wednesdays and weekends. On the days I work, I can still provide midday potty breaks over my lunch depending on distance from my workplace in Greenville. I care for pets in their own homes dependent on their needs. I address a plan with owners ahead of time to best meet those needs.
“Ashleigh did a great job. Our cat Knuckles, was well cared for and received extra attention that eased her anxiety while we were away. We will definitely request Ashleigh for our next trip.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets . “I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available for dog walks throughout the day and can provide overnight pet sitting when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.” “I have one friendly dog of my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I provide attentive, loving care and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority.”
“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! From the start she got there early and really went above and beyond to make sure our cats were cared for while we were out. Many photos and videos shared, played with them tons, made sure they had everything they needed, and stayed in contact all throughout the day. I could not thank her enough for how great of a service it was.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. Family friends woukd trust me to to take care of their cats and dogs when they went away for a while. I would help take care of the house as well. I love to go for walks with my dogs and go about 3 days a week with my dog Remi. I can watch dogs and cats when my family friends need me too. But also work part time at Pet Supplies Plus so I need a bit more time to plan when I work and when I can stop by and take care of pets. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, follow their normal feeding schedule, provide exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also administer medication if instructed, keep their environment clean and safe, and update owners with photos and messages. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have a soft spot for them. I have a four year old very high energy, playful but docile GSP. I will walk, watch, feed and create a stimulating environment for them! I work from home and have flexibility during the week to help out. I am also open most weekends for dog sitting or boarding . I will make sure pets are handled with love and care and will treat them as if they were my own. This might mean lots of belly rubs, snuggles and treats. My home has a fenced backyard and many dog beds and toys. I am happy to stay with your dog at his or her home if that is most comfortable for them and if my schedule allows.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
About: We’ve had a family puppy for as long as I can remember! My brother and I do lots of volunteering between nearby shelters and we also do watch other dogs. My aunt has two German Shepards and a pit-bull that I watch quite often so I have experience with bigger dogs as well. I’m currently working a job from 8:30-4:30 PM, W- F. I can watch a dog any day during the week and or overnight as long as they can go that long without potty breaks! If the house is nearby I can go on my lunches to let the pets out :) We currently have an electric fence and colar for our puppy and are very cautious any time letting him out. I will give the same care for your puppy any time I am around it!
“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”
About: I have two dogs of my own and one of them I raised as a puppy so I am experienced with any age of dog and have been around dogs most of my life. I am currently out of school and am working part time. I will be able to provide care for your pets for the larger part of the day and most days of the week. I have an electrical fence so my dogs can run around, and I also take them on long walks. I make sure to stick to there eating routine to make sure they are happy and healthy.
About: I have been a dog sitter for the past 3 years. My experience has been from small dogs like yorkies to even bigger dogs like like Newfoundlands. I have also have experience dog sitting dogs who have just undergone surgery, who are deaf, and have other medicinal conditions. It is very important to me, to give them extra care and have them in their preferred environment. I am more than happy to stay at a home, to make it the best possible environment for the dog(s). I am a part time worker, recently graduated from Ferris State University. I have moved to Grand Rapids full time. With my availability, I am able to offer dog sitting, walking, and check ins services. I will dog sit at your own home. I have been doing that for the past three years and I have learned that it’s a more comfortable environment for not only me but the dog(s). I always make sure to meet your dog beforehand, if possible and learn more about their schedule.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Little dogs, big dogs, hyper dogs, and grumpy and old dogs. I know that every dog is different and their care and my approach needs to reflect that. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m open to early morning and light night care including walks, check in’s, feedings, or medication administration. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs, rooms separated by strong doors and with lots of windows to watch the neighborhood from. Dog friendly flooring.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school and had my first dog, Charlie. I’ve watched dogs overnight with me and I’d love to watch your dogs during the day. Over the weekends. I’m available and in the afternoons and evenings I’m available after 4. I’d mostly like to walk dogs but I could house sit on a long weekend. I would love to take your dogs for walks throughout your neighborhood or mine! I am also happy to stay and keep your dog company while you are out and about.
“This was my first time and I wanted to meet before leaving the state, McKenzie was willing to make time the day of her family Christmas gathering for me, her willingness reflected she takes the job seriously. Since I had a prior sitter cancel last minute I was very grateful McKenzie was reliable!”
About: I've been raised around all ages of puppies/dogs, use to work at a dog daycare for a few years, took behavior classes, and did nail trimming. Also have done walking at the daycare and also with my own dogs. I have took care of seniors also that have needed medicine I'm a stay at home mom with my baby daughter, 2 dogs Toby and Koda, and my fluffy playful kitten Snooze. I have spaces in my day where I will be able to take care of your furry babies for you while you have to work/trip I do grooming for my dogs and kitten, walk/play with my dogs every day. At night I make sure to give each one alone time with me before bed so they don't get jealous of eachother

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Andrea did an amazing job drop-sitting my anxious dog for 8 days. She sent frequent updates and pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond by taking out the trash and turning off the lights on Halloween. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, proactive, and compassionate sitter!
Andrea is an exceptional sitter! I was away for 3 weeks and had Andrea do drop-in visits for my cat. Andrea was reliable and proactive. I felt 100% secure having her care for my cat. I appreciate that Andrea did a pre-visit with me before my trip began. She was always very quick to respond to messages and her drop-in visit notes were detailed. She even was happy to help out with a basil plant that I received via a CSA and did her own research on how to care for it. She clearly goes above and beyond. Plus, she has a great sense of humor. I received several fun bonus photos of the wildlife (rabbits and woodchucks) that like to inhabit my yard.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,277 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Smyrna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smyrna. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
