“Jillian was wonderful! She took the time to meet our pups beforehand and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she checked in daily with pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Megan has so many 5-star reviews and repeat clients for good reason. Megan is responsive messaging, attentive to pets, thorough in reviewing instructions, and lived up to our expectations. We were apprehensive about hiring a stranger to stay in our home, but we will absolutely have Megan back in the future.”
“Kim was so good with Moonshine!! I was worried when another sitter no-showed for our meet and greet, and luckily found Kim at the last minute. She was great! Very communicative and loving. She sent all sorts of pictures and videos of her adventures with Moonshine. She also left the house in great shape, probably even better than it was when I left!”
“Ayla was a life saver. I needed a dog sitter for our new puppies for a few hours and she didnt hesitate to say yes with really short notice. She was great with our pups. I will book her again!”
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.

“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”
“Lisa was very responsive when I contacted her during my time away. She was kind enough to feed my fish, get the mail, and water the flowers in my absence. The dogs seemed calm and rested upon my return. I will definitely request Lisa to look after Lukas and Matteo in the future”
“Cheryl has been a Godsent to me and my kiddos! These 2 I have are extremely high energy level and Cheryl handled them with ease and took great care of the house even in the midst of some serious storms! Highly recommend her for anyone's needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
Everett did a great job taking care of our Dolly during the hottest heat wave in forever. They made sure she was walked early and later to avoid overheating and took great care of our home and sweet dolly. It was like no one stayed here when we returned. Everything nice and clean. Would use Everett again.
Cheryl communicated well from the start. She sent pictures of our girl and noted her funny little habits. Not only did Cheryl tend to our dog, she looked after my flowers in this heatwave. I heartily recommend Cheryl. She looked after our dog well, which means peace while away. Our dog is precious to us, and Cheryl treated her as precious, as well.
Nika was amazing with my Luna. She showed up with such a warm, friendly energy, and Luna loved her right away. Nika stayed in great communication the whole time, sending regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. She even took Luna on walks, which made her so happy. She was also very flexible with her time and was kind enough to stay a little longer until I got home. That level of care made it easy for me to fully trust her with Luna. I’ll definitely be booking her again and recommending her to my friends.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Smyrna on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,587 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.
