“Jenae always takes well care of my babies. I never have to worry when they are with her. It is like leaving him with a long lost friend or family member. They thrive while I’m gone. A+”
About: I've cared for and loved dogs since I was 14 years old. I have raised 6 doggies, including 2 pits and 4 precious dachshunds. My sweet Roxie and Adrian passed away a few years ago, and I haven't had the heart to get a new doggie. So I've been taking care of a friend's dog from time to time. I would love to share my home with your precious pup and care for them like my own. I'm retired and live in a quiet retirement community. We love dogs here! I am available all day every day except Sunday morning, when I am at church. My home is open to your fur baby, and I will provide daily walks and potty breaks as needed. Most of all, I'll provide lots of cuddles and attention. I don't have a fenced yard, but we have lots of areas to walk leashed doggies.
“Stephanie was amazing with our dogs! I would leave them with her again in a heartbeat. She is kind and was very communicative with us throughout the stay. 10/10. A real gem.”
“Shawna and Tony are lovely. Shawna took the time to sit, talk and get to know me and Kobe. She was flexible with the time change I needed after I submitted the booking. She provided updates on my little guy. I would highly recommend and book again!”
“Heather and her family took great care of our dog Remi! Loved the daily photo updates. It’s clear the dogs they watch immediately become part of their family. Would definitely book with Heather again if we need someone to watch Remi while we’re out of town.”
“Denise was wonderful! She took great care of our pit-mix. We felt very confident while we were away that he was safe, well-loved, having fun and in good hands! Denise sent photos, replied quickly to messages and really went above and beyond for us when our flight home was cancelled, unexpectedly delaying our return home. We are grateful that she made our dog feel like he was part of her family. Absolutely a trust-worthy find!”
“Amanda was a great sitter for my pup! I have used her several times in the last several months, and my dog always looks comfortable and happy. She is incredibly quick to respond and is super friendly. She has a fabulous large yard and clean and comfortable home for the dogs. And her two dogs are friendly and wonderful housemates 😊”
“Sofia was so wonderful with Birdie! Sent me multiple pics and videos while we were away. This was our first time leaving our puppy, and Sofia made me feel much better being away.”
“Gabbi and Justin did such a fantastic job watching our pup! They were so sweet and and took care of her like she was their own. The updates and pictures gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious that Dove was very well loved while she was with them. We're happy to have found such great sitters for our girl! 😊”
“My experience with Melissa and her family was nothing less than amazing! They were extremely attentive to Chewy and provided me with updates and pictures while I was out of town to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend choosing them as your pups doggy sitters, you will not be disappointed!”
“Jonah took extremely good care of my pug/tibetan spaniel mix Wookiee and treated him as his own. I used his services while overseas for 6 weeks. I could follow how my dog adapted in the environment well with his own dogs. When I picked up Wookiee, was happy, but not ecstatic to see me. He went back snd forth between me and Jonah and his dogs. I think that says it all.”
“Maggie and Michael were amazing! They took such good care of my pup, she looked happy and comfortable the entire stay so I will surely bring her back again and would highly recommend them!”
“Ashley was amazing. She was friendly, responsive and on time. She kept me up to date on Stetson the entire time and sent plentycof photos. He loved playing with Hazel too. I really needed a smaller structured daycare and boarding option. Ashley definitely came through for me.”
“Taylor was great with Rocko! She made sure to stay in touch with me while I was out of town. Rocko was shy only because he has never been in anyone else’s care before. But over all I’m glad she was able to take good care of him and hopefully we’ll be back.”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats in my family. I've dog sat for my friends on occasions when they're out of town. I love discovering their personalities! I'm attentive and patient with pets. I believe owners know their pets best, and I take care instructions seriously. I work evenings during the week. I'm available in the mornings and afternoon until 2pm. I'm available on the weekends. I can do drop-in visits during the evening and nights. My work is pretty flexible. I believe building/gaining trust with clients is important. One way I do that is treating their home like mine. I am respectful and cleanly. I personally believe in leaving things better than when I found them. This type of work demands moving in integrity. I try to the best of my ability to keep pets environment and routines the same as their owners to minimize stress from too many changes.
“Diane was awesome she Welcomed me & Bella. I got photos and videos of my Bella girl throughout her stay. My Bella looked so happy. I highly recommend Diane!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Smyrna is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
First time using Rover, and I must admit, I was a bit anxious. However Sarah has been very communicative and very friendly. I take an annual girls cruise and so I'm typically gone for at least7 days. When I picked up my pup, he was happy and excited and seemed to be in great spirits. Sarah made sure to provide feedback and pictures of him while I was away and said that he was a great houseguest and got along well with her other two pups. I will most certainly be using her again in the future.
Ms. Olivia was absolutely the most amazing dog-sitter anyone could ask for!! She has a true gift to care for dogs the way she does, and you don't see that too often. This was my fur babies first time ever being with someone else, and she did amazing! The love and care that Olivia and her family gave to my sweet girl, was more than I could ever ask. She went over and beyond to make sure my girl felt loved, safe, and comfortable. She truly cared for her, as if she was her own!! I received updates and pictures everyday, and you could see just how happy my girl was!! Hands down the best care and love, it truly felt like the perfect match the very first moment Ms. Liv met my sweet girl!!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Smyrna can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smyrna home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Smyrna.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Smyrna. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
You and your Smyrna sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
