“This was the second time using Holly for a trip and she was awesome just like the last time. I always feel so comfortable knowing she’s looking out for my baby girl. Thank you so much.”
About: Hello! I have over 15 years of experience caring for all types of animals, including but not limited to: dogs, cats, horses, all avian species, small exotics, and reptiles. I taught animal and veterinary science at the high school level for 6 years. I am more than happy to care for all your loved ones! For dog walking & drop-in visits, I do bring my toddler with me, so your pet will need to be child-friendly. I'm available almost every weekend! I am a full-time high school teacher at a virtual school and a mom of a toddler! We love getting outside whenever we can. Our animals are our families. I know that from having my own two dogs at home. I will always pay attention to your animal's needs so they feel most comfortable while you are away.
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
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my animals! And a special thank you for understanding me through my huge mistake and still holding up your side of the booking🙏 I would recommend time and time again to anyone looking to get their animals cared for! My cat and chickens had daily updates with lots of photos seeing how all of their food, water, and living areas all were left in great condition and full!”
About: (Pricing is open for negotiations) I’ve taken care of sick, elderly, diabetic cats, dogs, old and young, big and small. I know how to clean up a mess and how to walk them! Will love on them as well!:) I currently work part time and would love to spend my extra time loving on pets and taking care of their needs! Your pet is safe with me! I will treat your home like it is my home. Respecting house rules and making sure your pet is well cared for. They will be safe with me.
“Alisa visited my kitties while I was out of town. She was very communicative and sent lots of photo updates, and even helped clean up some messes. I would definitely recommend booking with her, she will take great care of your babies!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was our first experience on Rover. Karissa was great with Skye and made sure she had everything we needed while we were gone. She kept us up to date on everything that was happening and was reliable and on time for her visits. We would highly recommend her and will absolutely request her again when we have another tip planned. Thank you so much!”
About: I understand the stress of traveling and having worry of who will watch the fur babies. I got ya covered! In house or drops in available. Special diets will be followed and medications can be discussed! My house has a fenced in yard and I do have 2 small dogs myself. Dixi who is 6 years and Chubbs who’s 12. My dogs are my babies and they are spoiled! Your pets will be loved on and taken care of the way you would take care of them. I work from home so my dogs are on a regular feeding and potty schedule. They love to bask in the sun and come inside when they are ready! Daily walks are nightly for them unless weather permits. I will ask questions to help me understand your dogs needs and schedule. Daily updates will be given to ensure the dogs are shown being safe and well taken care of! I ask for specific instructions with commands to not confuse the dog.
“Once again, Kaylee did an excellent job with our dogs and cats. She kept us updated every day with notes and photos, was proactive in her care, and kept our house tidy. All of our pets seemed super happy to see her in the photos she sent, which tells me that she took great care of them. I highly recommend Kaylee and will be using her services again.”
“Diane was so great with Kogi! She brought her treats from home and made sure to get some exercise as well! I will definitely be using her again if she’s available!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child and have spent my life around pets. Through years of owning and caring for dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing daily care and companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup! My availability is open 7 days a week! I have a dog park in my community. Plenty of time for walks & playtime(indoors and outdoors) I can also crate your baby if needed.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and it’s always been more than just a job to me—it’s a joy. Whether it’s walking a playful pup, checking in on a shy kitty, or giving extra love to a senior pet, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every visit. I love both dogs and cats, and I’m known for being hardworking and dependable. What sets me apart is how much I truly enjoy helping people feel at ease, knowing their pets are in loving, capable hands. I currently work part-time on weekends, so I have a flexible schedule during the week. I'm available for walks and check-ins during late mornings (around 10am–12pm) and early to late afternoons (1pm–5pm). I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need when you’re away! When I visit a pet in their home, I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, crate time, or just sticking to their usual routine. During walks, I keep pets on a secure leash at all times, avoid high-traffic areas when needed, and stay alert to their body language and energy level. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, just like they were my own.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Smyrna is $20

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.
