About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life and I understand their different needs. I'm very patient when it comes to learning their personalities and getting them comfortable with me. I currently work at a moving company so my schedule isn't very consistent but I am able to do drop ins around 6am and around 6pm. Currently looking for consistent work so this may change. I have a 12 year old Labrador Retriever I have cared for growing up and throughout going to school. I also have two 6 year old cats I have cared for at the same time and they are all very content. I engage with them when they are willing and leave them alone when they're not. I am very service oriented at heart and want to do my best for my clients.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12 starting with taking care of family and friends animals then moving to taking a class in high school called agriscience all about the care and groom of small animal. I would groom and day sit teacher dogs as they brought them to school. I was also apart of FFA also known as future farmers of America where I took place in the animal care and plant activities. I’m currently trying to save money for college so this would be my third job I’m available Sunday Monday and Thursday any time and other day between 5am-1pm. I have 2 acres of land and a 2 year old silver lab who loves to meet new friends. With plenty of toys I would love to spend time with your dong whether it’s outside on inside
About: I've been an animal lover since a very young age; and have taken care of family pets for friends and neighbors many times. I also have 2 years experience working for a veterinarian. I'm retired but active. I would like something to do, but also something I would enjoy. My daily routine is flexible, so pet sitting would fit perfectly. Safety for your pet will be my priority. If walking your dog will leashed all times; and I will follow clients' instructions to the letter.
“Jessica was superb. This was my first time using the Rover app, and of course I was nervous. Jessica eased my nerves after her first visit and I would love to have her help in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies!”
“Audrey and Mark were amazing! 10/10! We were a bit nervous about leaving our 11-week-old lab alone all day for the first time, but they stopped by twice to check on him, feed him, let him out, and play with him. They sent me updates with lots of pictures and videos and our baby looked soooo happy! I would absolutely have them again and would tell anyone to use them.”
About: I’ve had a couple dogs from when they were puppies to seniors, and I’ve had a cat for the past few years. I used to pet sit for my neighbors, so when I found out about rover I had to sign up! I have a flexible work schedule, I can fit in multiple walks and plenty of time with your pets to get them the care that you want! I live in an apartment with my wife and our pets, Duncan and Suki. Our pets get along great and we give them lots of love/attention. Sometimes they have fun together but I know cats and dogs like to play differently so I’ll give them their own specialized playtimes. I treat everyone’s pets like my own because I love animals and I know how I’d want someone to treat my pets when they’re watching them.
About: I have always taken care of animals, from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies. I worked at PetSmart for two years before moving to my current job at the Yardstick Dog Hotel, where we prioritize every dog’s comfort despite their difficult needs. I love learning every animal’s language so that I can approach them with care and patience. I have three dogs and a cat, all rescues from different backgrounds, each with their own individual needs. I can handle anxious dogs, traumatized dogs, high maintenance dogs, high energy dogs, and even very large dogs that aren’t labelled as necessarily “friendly.” And the same goes with cats and exotics. I live with my mother and our animals, so we share the responsibility of caring for them. Our dogs sleep in her room with her, and our cat sleeps in my room with me. However, sometimes my mom has to travel for work, in which case the dogs will sleep with me. My daily routine consists of giving each animal specialized breakfasts in the morning, and administering medicine to my senior cat. I take the dogs on walks and make sure to tire them out with intensive playtime before and after my day job and school. I am also an aspiring dog trainer, so I do beginner lessons at home with my youngest dog as practice every morning. My biggest concern when it comes to caring for animals is to meet their every need, not just “keep them alive.” Every weird quirk your animals has, I am not only willing but excited to take care of. To me, every animal is my responsibility to keep safe and, happy, even if it is not mine.
“This was our third time hiring Sara to check in on our dog, Asher. She is incredibly reliable and so good with him. I was nervous about hiring someone unknown to him because he can be wary in new situations. Sara was so patient, though, and won him over quickly. I would consider my dog somewhat difficult around strangers, but he loves her so much, AND he remembered her from previous visits. She took him on walks without me even asking her to, and she always leaves a report and takes pictures of him. I always have a hard time leaving my pets when we go on vacation, but Sara’s excellent communication gave me such peace of mind. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Lisa is great! She did drop-in visits for our dog, Loui, while we were out of town over the weekend, and I have no complaints. She was on time for each scheduled visit, shared plenty of photos, and communicated how Loui was doing with enough details so that we had no worries about him at home! When we need pet-care for future travels I will be reaching out again for sure, thank you so much, Lisa!”
About: Hi friends! I am currently available for drop-in visits. I have a 16-year-old pug/lab mix name Charlie and I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I also have two kitties, named Tink and Eleanor. I consider myself a dog and cat person equally. I work in a school am I availability is in the morning and evenings. I would love to care for your fur babies! I am working in a middle school and have availability in the morning and evenings. I have more flexibility during holidays when I’m off work! I have a lot of experience with different types of dogs and cats, and I’m flexible to accommodate, as needed per animal in my care.
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 taken care of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, in good health and end of life, and both large and small. What sets me apart is my love of animals, the attention I pay them, and the transparency to keep you informed of what is going on with your pets when you leave them in my care. I work full time in Brentwood and live in Antioch. I can work from home as needed and even if I am at work I have the flexibility to leave my office when I need to. Pet care is something I do during my extra time, but my extra time can be quite flexible to suit my (and any pets under my watch's) needs. I focus on maintaining good communication with my clients and maintaining preparedness. Whether it be good or bad news, it's important for me to make sure that the people who trust me with their pets are updated on how their pets are doing. I make sure to keep potential harmful objects out of reach, and have a game plan prepared in the unlikely scenario that a pet is hurt or needs to see a vet. If something should ever go wrong, I feel it's my responsibility to keep you informed, and to make sure that I am able to do everything possible to help keep your pet safe and healthy.
“I felt confident that Caesar was in good hands with Edward R. I received regular updates and pictures. He was very reliable and responsible. Thank you Edward R. for your great service. Highly recommend.”
About: I've spent my whole life living with dogs and being surrounded by animals! I started truly taking care of my animals when I was 14. Making sure their water bowl was full, feeding them when my parents couldn't, taking them out to let them sunbathe or just frolic, playing with them, and taking them on walks. I know how to take care of dogs all ages! I have experience with high energy dogs, low energy dogs, and anxious dogs. I also have experience with dogs that go through seizures. My second oldest dog, Chilis (yes I named him that when I was about 5 or 6 😂) has had seizures since my family adopted him many years ago. I've learned how to help him through these rough times and bring him back to a normal state afterwards. I love animals so much and it would mean the world to me that you would trust me to watch your precious fur babies! I currently just moved back home where I live with 3 dogs. So in my everyday life I'm making sure they're taken care of. I cannot care for your pets at my personal home but I can care for my clients pets in their own home where they are most comfortable! I will make sure they get plenty of outside time, that their water bowl is always full (and food bowl depending on how my client feeds their animals), I will take my clients pet out for walks, play with them and even cuddle with them if they want me too! I also would love any advice from you on how I can make your pet feel the happiest and safest while I'm with them!

Pet 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!
My husband and I went on a 2 week trip, leaving behind our 4 cats to be cared for by Rachel. I’m a little bit high maintenance and left a long list of chores for her to take care of and she did it all! She took care of each kitty’s individual needs, kept me updated the entire time, and let me enjoy my vacation with complete peace of mind. I love having her as my sitter while we’re away. Thank you as always Rachel, you’re the best!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Smyrna is $19 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 4,342 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
