About: I have 2+ years experience working with Almost Home Animal Shelter in Van Buren Arkansas, walking, feeding, medicating, playing, and cleaning up for pups. I also have several years experience with pet sitting for friends, family, and friends-of-friends with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve fostered and worked for multiple doggy daycares and I can honestly say that taking care of people’s pets in one of my passions because animals deserve the best care possible to honor the love that they give us and that we have for them. I am available for pet sitting, walking and boarding of both cats and dogs 7 days a week during the summer months. I get up when they do, or can come ‘round in the morning to play with them or take them on walks, feed etc. Depending on your needs I can be more active or more hands off with their schedule. Doors of clients homes with be locked to their specifications, entry and exit of the home will be on their given schedule, animals will be secured with all equipment provided (collar types/harnesses/etc) and I promise to be vigilant and aware with their animal at all times.
“Cheryl was our saving grace hours before we had to catch a flight (other confirmed sitter was not home). Our babies had a fabulous time running around Cheryl Green fenced backyard -another awesome surprise for last minute/in a pinch. Cheryl sent several pics throughout the day. Will use her again!”
“Lynne took great care of our two pups while we were out of town. She sent us daily updates and pictures while we were gone. We appreciated the care she gave them and felt like she treated them as her own.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for along time and im reliable and I absolutely love them! Friends and family have trusted me enough to do so I am not currently working at this time, so I am very open and flexible with any day or times that you might need. Very flexible. I have a fenced in yard! I have a dog of my own who is lovable and is kennel trained. Dogs are in and out
“Brittany was so great with our puppy! She has great communication and sent plenty of photos to keep us updated! I have no doubt that CoCo had a great time with Brittany! We will be booking again!”
“Chloe has great communication and made me feel very comfortable leaving my mini Australian shepherd Ellie with her for 2 days. This was Ellies first time staying anywhere and Chloie made sure she was comfortable and distracted and had lots of love and attention. She sent pictures and updates often. Ellie really seemed to have enjoyed her stay. We will be boarding her with Chloe EVERY time we travel from now on! I highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Akins home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Akins.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Akins sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
