“Stephen is very experienced and mature, not to mention friendly. We only needed to him to be a companion initially, but we will trust him with much more complex situations if one arises.”

“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“Mary is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ten plus stars! She was a very attentive loving honest caretaker of our 2 pugs & kitty. Mary attended to their needs daily especially our pug Simon and his very important heart medication. Mary went above and beyond and we highly recommend her to care for your pets!! 🩷 We will definitely have Mary come stay with our pets again in our home. Thanks 😊 Mary!!! Xoxo Bronson Simon & Boots 🩷”
“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”
“Evangeline was terrific! She watched over our home and our beloved Airedale, Archie, like he was her very own. Stayed in contact and handled the little things that popped up. A terrific lady and and all-pro service!”

Currently I work part time for an Amish company and I do morning pick ups and evening drop off with Thursday me being at the job all day. With time in advance I can move stuff around if need be.

I don't always make him do stuff for tricks, but I practice commands daily and when it's not raining we go on walks, unfortunately he gets car sick so long drives aren't great for him still. I hug him tell him he's great tell him when he's done something bad as well, Play with toys and I'm currently working on him knowing what toy I'm telling him to get
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish through both pet sitting and caring for my own animals. I’m patient, dependable, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medications, or additional attention. I always follow owners’ instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, drop in visits, or evening check ins, I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I always follow each owner’s instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and playtime, and receives lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to administer medications if clear instructions are provided. I keep a clean, safe environment, pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, and can also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for until you return.
“Kathy was fantastic with our two dogs and cat. She stayed at our house for a week, kept them safe, happy, walked and fed. She is reliable and provided daily updates. We will definitely use her again!”

I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate time for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and maintaining consistent routines. As a paraprofessional, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to individual needs, which helps me provide reliable care for both pets and homes. I prioritize making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while ensuring the home remains clean, safe, and well cared for. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away.
“We love that we can absolutely depend on Rachel. Our pups love her and don’t miss us at all and they have separation anxiety! Rachel was kind enough to go the extra mile to help manage the pups for our wedding and watch them while we went away for our honeymoon. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures so we didn’t have to wonder how they were doing. So so grateful and will continue to book her. She treats our pups as her own!”
About: Hello! My name is Ari and I’m excited to meet you and your pet(s)! I am experienced in caring for all sorts of dogs and cats. I have experience with both puppies and medically complex dogs - I’ve trained 2 puppies and consistently administered insulin injections and oral medication for multiple dogs. I have a long-haired Persian cat of my own and often pet sit for my neighbor’s 3 Persians as well. I currently work part-time on a mid-day shift, which leaves me with lots of time in the mornings and evenings to check on pets. I am available most weekends as well. I am prepared to feed, clean up after, and to walk and play with dogs of all ages and sizes in your home. I live in a home of 2 healthy dogs and 1 cat.
“Kaela is an exceptional pet sitter. She is incredibly kind, communicative, and dependable. She always treats my dogs with excellent care and genuine attention, and I can tell they’re comfortable and happy with her. Kaela is also very respectful of my home, leaving everything just as she found it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: Experienced animal lover who has taken care of all kinds of animals. I'm willing to take care of any pets you have whether it be a dog, cat, reptile, or horse. I've had many pets growing up and have always had a passion for animals. I have a car so it is quick and easy for me to get around. I would also be willing to do any other household needs while you're away. Pay rates are negotiable and I am reasonable with pay. As a remote worker Monday and Fridays as well as not working weekends I am lucky enough to have a very flexible schedule with my job. I am always willing to work with you on what schedule works best for you and your pet. Please note: I do not work remotely Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Because of this I can not do mid day services on these days unless you are in Camp Hill. I would be able to help your pet early mornings and after 5pm. I have a dog, a cat, and a few reptiles that I take pride in caring for. Taking care of more complicated pets like reptiles and horses has ensured my attention to detail in pet care. My goal in taking care of your pet is to fulfill the needs you typically provide them while you're away. I understand that every animal is different and will need personalized care. I love animals like family, but also understand the needs and boundaries that some animals require.
“Kianna was wonderful! This was our first time leaving our dog Axle behind while we went on vacation. He's very hyper and jumps on new people so we needed to find someone that could handle him and help with training. We were so lucky to find Kianna! She does dog training and has experience with hyper dogs, and she lived only a few minutes away from us, so it worked out perfectly. She followed Axle's schedule and his routine and kept us posted with photos. Axle was so happy to make a new friend! Kianna will be our first choice next time we go on vacation!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Smyrna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,924 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.

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.
