“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.”
About: I have taken care of 3 dogs at one time, and many different kinds of breeds. High energy to low energy, small to giant, puppy to elderly. I have experience in giving medication (oral) if needed, and going on long walks. I myself have had 3 pitts, 1 pug, 2 labs, and now currently my Dalmatian baby boy. I can throughout all days of the week. One Monday-Thursday I will not be able to be home until 6 pm or so. If needed, I am avaliable to take dogs outside for a potty break after 230. Fridays and Saturdays I only working in the morning and will be home the rest of the time. In my own home, I give e my Dalmatian lots and lots of cuddles, walk time, and treats. I intentionally do not give table food or human food and I worry abiut their diets. We try to get him at the dog park also and feed him about twice a day. He is a healthy boy.
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 15 years. I managed a bird barn for over a year successfully on my own. I have experience with all kinds of animals as I’ve been able to enjoy caring for many kinds over the years. With 1 tiny dog and 4 cats currently, I enjoy the liveliness they bring! Any messages sent after 830pm will be answered the next day! I’m currently waiting to start college, I have plenty of extra time for walks and play time! In May 2026 my schedule will change a bit when I’m in school physically for a few hours every day. We’ll start with a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other a little bit. Your animals get the same love and care that mine get.
“Jillian was great! She came to meet the dogs before hand and took such good care of them while we were away. She updated me and sent me pictures while we were away! Def recommend”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”
“Erin was a wonderful house+dog sitter and I would certainly book again. She had an immediate rapport with my somewhat selective, fear-reactive pittie mix. The attentiveness, presence and communication (including some photos) were exceptional throughout the long weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for dogsitting.”
“Sara was an AMAZING pet sitter!!! She kept us up to date, great communication - loved all of the pictures and videos. I highly recommend Sara to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their fur babies 💙”
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.
“Highly recommend!! We absolutely loved Jaiden! First time ever using Rover. We were apprehensive about having a stranger come stay at our home while we were out of town. Jaiden was a great communicator, came over to our house and spent some time meeting with us and our pets and came back one more time to get the key. Our dogs immediately loved him and we did too. Jaiden is a wonderful young man, and we will absolutely use him again.”
“Kiana was great, as usual! She was flexible with a scheduling error and still made sure the boys were taken care of while we were out of the country! Based on pictures, it’s clear the boys feel very comfortable with her, which puts us at ease while away!”
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: My family has raised dachshund puppies my entire life. Our current babies are 12 and 5 yrs old. Dachshunds are known as a challenging breed but ours have always been angels. I have a schedule that is mostly open during the afternoons everyday. Wednesdays and Thursdays, I have fullday and nighttime availability. My schedule is flexible if necessary. We have a fenced in yard and decking that our pets prefer but i have taken them on walks around our neighborhood for enrichment and nail trimming. Dachshunds can be anxious so they tend to prefer the comfort of our home.
About: Been a pet owner since I was a child. I have helped countless friends and family for many years for their pet care. Our pets eat well and thrive in a home environment versus locked up in a lonely kennel feeling abandoned, resulting in depression and refusal to eat. I am offering my home a safe space for your fur baby and peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home a lot. I run errands for brief periods and I do monitor my pets from my security camera when I’m not available to them, I have extra rooms to separate pets if need be. **Please be sure your pet is potty trained** I make sure I communicate well with pet owners. Food and water are available and free of any debris. My home is safe and protected, overall a safe and happy environment. You can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is loved.
About: I have 3 dogs myself. I have helped neighbors and friends take care of their pets! Walking, bathing, feeding, and having play time with them! I’m currently working full time. And can be available for 2 hours during the day between 11-1. And afternoons from 5-10. Weekends I’m available anytime! I have 3 dogs. They are super loving and friendly! We go on walks and have a lot of play time outside. I can help you with your fur babies by walking, playing, giving lovings, bathing, and feeding!

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.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Smyrna is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $76 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
