“We had such a wonderful experience and couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Janelle followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and treated our dogs like they were her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups and a house that was just as we left it—which is truly the best feeling after being away! We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

I consider myself totally responsible and committed to the care of animals and the environment, that is why your pets will be my preference as well as their well-being.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 13 years old, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. Growing up, I was surrounded by a wide variety of pets, including dogs, snakes and other animals, which gave me experience with different personalities, care routines, and needs. I currently own a large dog and serval reptiles. I have previously owned small dogs as well, so I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm committed to providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I am currently a full time student at Middle Tennessee Stste University. This allows me the flexibility to do multiple check ups throughout the day, walk pets as needed, and do house stays so your pet can have the best experience possible. When caring for pets in my client's home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any special care requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away.
“The absolute best care I could ever ask or hope for! What a blessing she was to my husband and I while we were out of the country. Her communication was the very best. Our babies were loved and cared for like we never left. Could not be any more pleased with everything!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals since I was about 10yrs. We ran an animal sanctuary. Dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles, and more. I currently work from home part-time as a freelancer while also building my own business and my kids are grown, so I generally have decent flexibility. I have always been a huge lover of animals. I enjoy being able to spoil them, learn their personality, and make them feel super safe and comfy while in their own home.
“Tyler was absolutely amazing. We have a dog who is has bad separation anxiety and him and Tyler connected instantly. He was great with sending pictures and kept the house so clean, so when we came back it looked better than when we left. Will definitely use him again and highly recommended.”
“Erin was fantastic! She provided daily photos of my pup and made sure she was walked, fed, played with, and given plenty of cuddles. It was clear she genuinely cared and took such great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again for future stays!”

About: I am currently a senior year student at Belmont. Going on my fourth year in Nashville and have pet/house sit around town for 2 of those years ranging from overnight stays for 7 dogs at once to drop in visits for 2 critters (cat and dogs). Would love to care for your fur babies! :) I am in school from 9am-5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays but other than that my availability is very clear.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smyrna
This was our second time using her to house-sit and care for our dogs, and once again, she was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she take great care of our pups, but she also took incredible care of our home. Everything was spotless, neat, and tidy when we returned. I honestly think she leaves our house cleaner than when she arrives! It's such a relief to be able to travel knowing our dogs and home are in such good hands. We couldn't be happier and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!
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.
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.

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 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.
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.

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.
