“This was our first time to use Rover and our first time to leave our “baby” for any length of time. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Bonnie was so flexible and easy to work with and obliged us by sending us pictures often. He always looked happy and well loved! Thank you Bonnie! We won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“Loveeee Amber! She was so responsive and made sure to send plenty of photo updates. I don’t trust my baby with just anyone and I could tell that he was loved and cared for while I was away. He even jumped back out of the car when I picked him up because he wanted to stay longer lol. Amber is the only sitter I’ll use while in Little Rock.”
“Madison is awesome. She sent us pictures almost every day of our vacation. We were extremely impressed with her care and compassion for our babies. We'll definitely be boarding with Madison again!”
“Andrew was a sitter for Wilson. I have another Rover.com who normally watch Wilson, but they were not available so I went back to Rover to identify someone in my area. I contacted Andrew and he was great. He was accommodating to my needs and I would definitely take Wilson back to Andrew.”

“Madi did a great job caring for my two senior dogs. I was a little skeptical leaving them with someone new for 5 nights but she made me feel at ease with the updates and pictures. Will definitely use again.”
About: I have had many pets in my life, dog's, cats, mice, rabbit, hampster, fish, chicken's, tortoise... I have carred for puppies, kittens, senior's (10yrs and up) and dogs with disabilities such as blindness and difficulties with walking in older age. I am willing to learn what your pets needs are and will do my best to meet all their needs whatever those may be, specific feeding schedule, medications... I am comfortable with dogs who wear diapers if needed I've done overnight pet sitting for a week or two at a time, and used to work at a horse stable in highschool. I work in the evenings Monday - Friday from 2:30pm to 11:00pm. I let the dogs out to pee as needed during the day. I work 5 minutes away so if necessary can go let the pets out to pee partway into that time. I'm usually home the whole morning and get back from work between 11pm and 12am. I go to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day for at least and hour. I can do walks as well or in place of the park. I have an empty spare room for your pet to have their own space for eating and relaxing but they are more than welcome to be out in the main house with my dog if they prefer the company. They can sleep with me and my dog in the bedroom or sleep in the spare room/ crated (I have 2 spare crates for both small and small/medium dogs). I have a dog and a cat. My dog loves a good pal to play with and my cat will mostly keep to herself and usually goes unnoticed. Both my pets have open access to food and water at all times. But if your pet needs a strict feeding schedule there food can be placed out of reach. To ensure no food related scuffñes your baby will be fed separately in the spare room for maximum comfort and safety. I make frequent trips to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day. I can do walks as well or in place of the dog park. I have a fully fenced backyard to play and potty in, I let the dogs out multiple times during the day and about twice before bed. I usually give the dogs some sort of longish lasting chew before I go to work to provide some stimulation during the beginning hours of my shift such as a pig ear or hide.
“Jacquelyn was AMAZING ! She was very commutative and always kept me updated. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving Dubai with her, definitely always booking with her !”
“We were very comforted leaving our dog, Jack, with Jennifer and her family. He had a long 10 day stay with them. We loved the pictures she sent and the update as to how his day was going. We felt he was well taken care of and that was a huge deal for us. Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“I adopted Scooby three months ago and this was his first time being away from me and my first time using Rover. Azalea was amazing! She updated me regularly and sent pics. Due to winter weather our plans changed several times and Azalea was understanding and flexible. Could tell Scooby felt at ease in her home! Will definitely use her again!!”

“I am so happy to have found Casey when I moved to LA! She has been friendly, kind, and super flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I have an older dog that is blind and loves to cuddle-she is always sending photos of him relaxing on the couch cuddling with her on her 2 pups (which are sweethearts). She is always attentive to my dogs unique needs and communicates regularly. I feel completely comfortable with Casey's being my dogs "home away from home."”
“Kristen provided exactly what I wanted for my dog while I was away on vacation. Kristen understood that leaving my dog with another person was a worry and helped ease that worry. I will be leaving my dog with her the next time I need to.”
“Destiny was very kind. She watched our dog Oreo and it was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone. However, Destiny made Oreo feel comfortable and it was a pleasant experience. We will be using her services again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alexander
I am so happy I found Rebecca! I’ve not had good experiences with boarding in the past and it had caused me to become prisoner to my home. I was gone for a week and I did not worry about my dog one time. I heard from Rebecca every day with either a picture or a video reassuring me that he was doing okay. There’s not a cost you can put on peace, and Rebecca gave me that. I will be using her again and again and again.
Michael was great! My dog was really nervous at drop-off, so I really appreciated Michael sending photos of my pup all settled in. That helped me relax and enjoy my time away. My pup seemed happy and very well cared for at pickup. I would definitely use Michael again in the future.

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Alexander can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Alexander 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 Alexander.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexander. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Alexander 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 AR 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
