“Rachel was awesome with my four crazy cats. They all have different needs and she was attentive to all of them and followed my instructions perfectly! I can tell they were comfortable with her and it looked like they all had a lot of fun during playtime with her. I will definitely be using her services again when the need arises.”
About: (Pricing is open for negotiations) I’ve taken care of sick, elderly, diabetic cats, dogs, old and young, big and small. I know how to clean up a mess and how to walk them! Will love on them as well!:) I currently work part time and would love to spend my extra time loving on pets and taking care of their needs! Your pet is safe with me! I will treat your home like it is my home. Respecting house rules and making sure your pet is well cared for. They will be safe with me.
“Jessica was superb. This was my first time using the Rover app, and of course I was nervous. Jessica eased my nerves after her first visit and I would love to have her help in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies!”
About: I have always taken care of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies. I worked at PetSmart for two years before moving to my current job at the Yardstick Dog Hotel, where we prioritize every dog’s comfort despite their difficult needs. I love learning every animal’s language so that I can approach them with care and patience. I have three dogs and a cat, all rescues from different backgrounds, each with their own individual needs. I can handle anxious dogs, traumatized dogs, high maintenance dogs, high energy dogs, and even very large dogs that aren’t labelled as necessarily “friendly.” And the same goes with cats and exotics. I live with my mother and our animals, so we share the responsibility of caring for them. Our dogs sleep in her room with her, and our cat sleeps in my room with me. However, sometimes my mom has to travel for work, in which case the dogs will sleep with me. My daily routine consists of giving each animal specialized breakfasts in the morning, and administering medicine to my senior cat. I take the dogs on walks and make sure to tire them out with intensive playtime before and after my day job and school. I am also an aspiring dog trainer, so I do beginner lessons at home with my youngest dog as practice every morning. My biggest concern when it comes to caring for animals is to meet their every need, not just “keep them alive.” Every weird quirk your animals has, I am not only willing but excited to take care of. To me, every animal is my responsibility to keep safe and, happy, even if it is not mine.
About: While I no longer own a pet, I loved and cared for my sweet dog Bella for 13 years before she passed away. It has left a hole in my heart that I would love to fill by caring for others. You can trust that your babies will be loved and very well taken care of! I am available any time, including evenings, holidays, and weekends. My schedule is very flexible, so I can be available for immediate needs as well. I will be able to take care of all of your pet's needs in your home and have no issue with giving meds if needed. I have reliable transportation and am very dependable.
“Alisa took very good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent many videos and well-shot photos which we loved. She even cleaned up their mat and food bowls before we returned which to my mind is above and beyond. And our apartment was locked up tight just as we had left it - something others have forgotten .”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and one cat. I currently work in a dog daycare and kennel. I took animal science and got a green hand degree in high school. I’m currently working full time, Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday through Sunday most weeks starting around 9:00 am. Weekdays are very unlikely, but if I am not scheduled for work I can try to make myself available. Whatever you need me to do I can do. If you don’t have any specific instructions I will make sure your day has food, water, gets to go potty, take them on walks, and play with them. I offer free baths and nail trims per visit/scheduled day. I will administer medication if it’s not through injection. I do not offer training
“We called Deborah at the last minute because we had a death in the family. She was concerned because she had not met our Lucy before and I had to calm her nerves and let her know that Lucy is the friendliest of all dogs. I appreciate her for coming over at the last minute and will definitely utilize her services in the future if she is available.”
About: Real-Life Experience with Dogs, Flexible, Family-Friendly Approach: As a stay-at-home mom with two kids (including a toddler who enjoys having pets around), pet care naturally fits into my daily household routine. This allows for a homelike, attentive environment that can make pets feel safe and relaxed. Also a reliable and consistent routine is something I am attentitive to: my schedule as a parent ensures structured days, meaning pet routines (feeding, walks, playtime) are handled reliably—just like I manage consistent routines for my own family. We can absolutely send you some selfies and updates throughout the day if needed! We are a photo friendly family 📸 I am a stay at home mom with lots of time on my hands. My toddler will keep them busy 24-7 so no need to worry about them not getting energy out! I will be the main caretaker. I have a fenced yard that offers safety for any pets staying here as well as a gate at the bottom of the stairs so they can’t go up the stairs and potentially hurt themselves.
“This was our third time hiring Sara to check in on our dog, Asher. She is incredibly reliable and so good with him. I was nervous about hiring someone unknown to him because he can be wary in new situations. Sara was so patient, though, and won him over quickly. I would consider my dog somewhat difficult around strangers, but he loves her so much, AND he remembered her from previous visits. She took him on walks without me even asking her to, and she always leaves a report and takes pictures of him. I always have a hard time leaving my pets when we go on vacation, but Sara’s excellent communication gave me such peace of mind. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve had a couple dogs from when they were puppies to seniors, and I’ve had a cat for the past few years. I used to pet sit for my neighbors, so when I found out about rover I had to sign up! I have a flexible work schedule, I can fit in multiple walks and plenty of time with your pets to get them the care that you want! I live in an apartment with my wife and our pets, Duncan and Suki. Our pets get along great and we give them lots of love/attention. Sometimes they have fun together but I know cats and dogs like to play differently so I’ll give them their own specialized playtimes. I treat everyone’s pets like my own because I love animals and I know how I’d want someone to treat my pets when they’re watching them.
About: My name is Kaitlynne. I'm a avid pet lover and mommy to 4 sweet fur babies. I've had pets my whole life and learned that I'm very passionate about animals. I also love to travel, and live my life to the fullest, and know how stressful it is when you have to leave your fur babies behind. My main goal is keeping peace of mind with you, and your animal happy and having fun while they're with me. I always keep owners updated with daily pictures and videos, since I ask the same of pet sitters. I can promise I will care for your babies as if they were my own. I’m lucky enough to live in a house with a great backyard, so your babies will have plenty of play time with me! I currently work a few hours a week part time from home, so I have lots of free time to focus on play time, walks, and snuggles! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly playful dogs, so playtime is a big deal in my house! I can always crate your pups for you if that’s how they feel comfortable!
“Audrey and Mark were amazing! 10/10! We were a bit nervous about leaving our 11-week-old lab alone all day for the first time, but they stopped by twice to check on him, feed him, let him out, and play with him. They sent me updates with lots of pictures and videos and our baby looked soooo happy! I would absolutely have them again and would tell anyone to use them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Mallory and Travis were excellent with Zoe and Ozzy! They helped me out on short notice and were very responsive. Took great pictures of the dogs during the visits, gave great updates, and called when they had questions. I would highly recommend them and I'll definitely use them again next time I need help!
Cindy has been absolutely wonderful with my 11-year-old dog, Ellie. She comes by for 30-minute drop-in visits, and I always know Ellie is in caring, capable hands. Cindy is reliable, kind, and takes the time to make sure Ellie gets the attention, care, and companionship she needs while I’m away. It’s such a relief knowing someone who truly loves animals is checking in on her. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my sweet Ellie!
For my first time using rover, the process was very smooth with Corbyn. She was great at lessening my nerves with the pics she sent with every visit. And my dogs loved her! She watched my 7month old puppy and my 9 year old dog. Would recommend her and would hire her again if I ever need a rover in the future!

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.
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!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
