About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have spent my life around pets. Through years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing daily care and companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! My availability is open 7 days a week! I have a dog park in my community. Plenty of time for walks & playtime(indoors and outdoors) I can also crate your baby if needed.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of many different kinds of animals my whole life. I grew up with large breeds such as brilliant great Great Dane, loyal Boxers, and the sweet Dobermans. I’ve also had the pleasure of having a sweet but fragile chocolate teacup chihuahua, along with numerous cats, ferrets, and creatures of all sorts. I love all animals and it brings me joy to bring them the type of comfort and care they need. I currently work full time, M-F til 5pm, and off weekends. I’m usually home every evening by 6, and available most weekends. My boyfriend who is an absolute pup and kitty fanatic is usually always home as well by 3pm every day for the whole evening. I have a kitty named Berlioz who loves being around other animals. When I have dog sat for family members in the past, I usually make sure they are comfortable and well fed inside, and take them to the dog park at my apartments for play time. My complex is large, so it gives me some exercise as well taking the extra energetic ones around the block. I’m also experienced in giving pets scheduled medications if needed. I do not have a crate of my own, but would be happy to bring yours to my home if requested.

About: I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s second nature to me. I’m warm, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. Animals tend to gravitate toward me — friends joke that I’m basically a Disney princess — and I take that as the highest compliment. Caring for pets is my full‑time business, and I build my days around it. Once my kids are off to school, I’m focused on my clients — from daily regulars to weekly visits to those last‑minute “help, can you stop by?” requests. My schedule is flexible, and I’m used to balancing a steady routine with the occasional surprise booking. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I love being the person families can count on. I keep your pet comfortable by caring for them right in their own home. I come to them for drop‑ins — playtime, feeding, fetch, cuddles, whatever they love. If they need to stretch their legs, we can head out for a walk. You choose the visit length: 20, 30, or 60 minutes. I follow their routine so they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I have been around pets all of my life, dogs and cats alike. I have also had my own pets that I’ve taken care of. I have 3 years of experience privately sitting for friends and acquaintances. I strive to follow the pets routine and respect all boundaries your pat may have. I am available after before 8 am and after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends I am available all day. I do not board in my own home as. I have cats who like their space. When I am taking care of pets I always make sure they have a clean environment including food and water bowls. I speak softly and kindly to pet and show them the attention they need or give them space when they need it due to nerves.

About: I have worked with a variety of different animals my entire life large and small with a variety of different needs. I look to provide the care that you expect for your fur babies. I currently own my own business so it allows me to have a flexible schedule in being able to help out others. My schedule allows me to be there when I am most needed. Creating a safe enviroment and fostering trust is important to me as it can help build a working relationship with others and make sure you are feeling secure when finding a pet sitter.

About: Hello My name is Reggie, my wife and i are parents to two amazing German shepherds, Titan and Bulma. Titan is 2 and Bulma is 1, we have been caring for them since they were 8 weeks old. I primarily take our dogs on their daily walks, I also take them to the park at least twice a week. Titan was my first dog and learning on how to care for him has taught me a lot on how to be patient, how to really pay attention and how to love dogs. Caring for dogs is one of the few things that brings a smile to my face. Allowing me to care for your pet would be an honor and privilege. How people treat dogs can tell you everything you need to know about a person.

About: Hi! My name is Kelly . I am 23 years old and that is also how long I have been around animals. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc. My mom was a vet and my dad is a farmer. I have been around animals, healthy and sick. My love for animals is huge and I know I would be able to take care of others fur babies. I am very responsible and dependable. I would be able to sit with pets, take them for walks, or just drop in to feed them. I work in Franklin but live in Murfreesboro so my traveling range is big! I have a pretty flexible work schedule. So, I would be able to do morning or evening walks. Depending on my day, I can also do drop in visits during the day. I am also capable of feeding animals. I would care for your pets by taking them on long walks around the neighborhood. I can clean up messes and give plenty of head scratches!

About: I’ve participated in taking care of animals since I was 5, and took on full responsibility since 11-12. My home has always been full of animals (mostly consisting of cats and dogs) and at most had 11! Usually it’s a pretty 50/50 split between the two. We’ve always rescued animals so they come to me in any shape or form, many kittens / puppies and many seniors! I would love to come by and see your fur babies! Sunrise to sunset, my schedule is very open to coming by and saying hello to any fur baby! I currently can’t work, so what better way to spend my time! Anything the client requests! I’m unable to host any animal visits, but I’m very open to traveling. The care will consist of any basic activities I’m needed to do, feeding, cleaning up any accidents in the home, managing the animals crate, playing with them and getting their energy out for a nice sleep afterwards, and anything else needed!

About: I've cared for a variety of pets- birds, lizards, turtles, dog, cats, you name it! I have grown up with animals but have been indecisive about getting my own pet- just because I don't think I could leave the shelter with just one! I work hybrid schedule so most days I am home all day, so caring for pets throughout the day is not an issue! I also love pets that love being loved on, or may like to be pet more than others. I'm also okay with pets who don't need as much attention from their human. I typically go into the office one day a week but it's depends. I always know ahead of time! Just let me know what you need and I'll see if I can accommodate. I always make sure to love on the pets I care for. I always have treats and ensure to ask about allergies or special accomodations.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Smyrna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Smyrna is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,205 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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. 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.

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.

To find sitters in Smyrna with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 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.

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.
