About: Hi, I’m Gabby — your pet’s new favorite human. I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for 11+ years. Most of my experience is with dogs and cats of all ages, from tiny 2mo puppies to sweet seniors who need a gentler pace. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with the world’s best white Westy‑Maltese mix named Benji, who loved yard time, pup cups, and long naps. In high school, I also raised four chickens — Peep, Squirt, Hector, and Spooky — who had big personalities and made every day fun. I don’t currently have pets, but I hope to one day have a small farm full of furry and feathered friends. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Your pet will be treated like my own — safe, loved, and happy every moment we’re together. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or drop‑in visits, I’m here to make their day better. “Can I pet that dog?!” is basically my catchphrase, and I always seem to make new furry friends wherever I go. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat and learn more about your pet. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I’m available Monday - Friday for drop ins up to 4x a day and weekends when planned in advance. I can keep your fur babies company in the comfort of their own home with drop in visits and can take your pets on walks in their neighborhood.
“Montea’ took amazing care of our two golden doodles. She loved them like her own. She was always on time and gave them lots of snuggles, love and playtime. She went above and beyond with all instructions that we discussed at the meet and greet. She is very caring and responsible. She kept us updated every day in detail with lots of beautiful pictures. We are very blessed to have found such a sweet and beautiful best friend for our girls! Montea’ is our first call!💜”
“Highly recommend! The absolute best sitter we’ve ever had. We’ve used Rover for quite a while now and Mia stands out as the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. She truly goes above and beyond with Marley. From the very first visit, it was clear how much she cares about the dogs she watches. What impressed us the most is how Mia maximizes her time with Marley. She doesn’t just take Marley out for a quick potty break—she plays with her the entire time, keeps her engaged, and makes sure she’s getting both physical exercise and mental stimulation. You can tell Marley is having the time of her life. When we got home, Marley is happily tired, super calm, and clearly overjoyed with the care she received. Her tail is wagging non-stop and she seems more confident and content overall. Mia is also incredibly reliable, communicative, and professional. She sends great updates with photos and always lets us know how Marley is doing. We never have to worry when she’s watching our girl. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and provide top-tier care, Mia is the one. We will definitely be booking her again and again. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Thank you so much, Mia! Marley (and we) adore you! 🐾❤️”

“Was very accommodating and communicative during the whole process. Took plenty of pictures and let me know when she was arriving and leaving. Will definitely be using her in the future if needed!”
“Wonderful experience with Kim. She was reliable, did as instructed for care, took lots of photos and video and messages me on arriving and leaving. I will use her again for sure.”

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.

I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!
“Our cat is one of those cats that is a little temperamental and takes awhile to warm up to people but with Cassy he instantly loved her. She knew exactly how to pet him and understood cat behavior. During our time out of town, we got pics and videos from Cassy showing her playing with him or petting him and him just loving on her. She texted how he was doing. Cassy is so nice and accommodating and obviously loves and is good with animals. Will be booking again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Christina was a godsend! This was our first time using Rover, and we are so happy we found Christina. She was professional, punctual and communicative during our booking. Moreover, she was great with our two dogs and spend time playing with them. I think one of them is sitting by the door waiting for her to return! :)
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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
