About: I LOVE all dogs! I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, with large and medium sizes being my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl!

Breanna was the most professional and helpful River ever! Even though she was tasked with checking in on my cats, she still went above and beyond to help me while I was out of the state. Thank you so much!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with both dogs and horses helped build a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and daily care. Today, I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time outdoors with them, especially hiking and staying active. Pet sitting for friends has also provided opportunities to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits every day except Saturday. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or times that best fit your pet’s routine. Whether your fur baby needs a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets are secure, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I can take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and even watering plants or collecting mail. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. Even though visits take place in your home, I treat each environment with respect and make sure your pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their own space.

About: Note: I only sit animals that are up to date with vaccines and current on flea and tick prevention. I will sit any cat that isn’t aggressive with humans. I ONLY sit dogs that are KNOWN to be good with other dogs and cats unless they are under 6 months old (in that case, I am happy to help introduce them to my animals). I require clients to provide diapers/belly bands for male dogs due to the overwhelming majority of male dogs displaying marking behavior. This requirement may be waived for existing clients I have already sat for and know the dog does not mark. I have had animals my entire life. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats; one of the dogs is a stray who showed up at my house who I could not turn away. I truly have a heart for animals. All of my animals get along with each other and animals I sit through Rover as well as that I occasionally foster. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including those that require extra attention and effort to make them comfortable. I have cared for senior cats and dogs, including at end of life stages. I am experienced in dispensing oral medications to both dogs and cats. I work from home full-time Monday-Friday with a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention as well as potty breaks. Outside of work, I am a homebody and rarely leave my house, so your babies will have consistent attention and affection with me. I follow all rules provided by my clients and will ask for permission to give treats, food, chews, etc. that are not provided by owners as well for permission to take them off my property (pup cup, hiking, etc.). As a former law enforcement officer (a decade of public service experience), safety is always my priority, and I ensure that pets are handled safely and securely.

Kayla has been wonderful with my 2 dogs. It was a busy schedule of 2xs daily visits and groomer drop off. She was there every day playing with them or soothing them through the thunderstorm. She has fed them meticulously with the multitude of additions that they get daily. The pictures showed them being very happy everytime. I am so glad I found her on Rover!

Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: I don’t have any kids I believe I was put on this earth to raise my fur babies and make sure they never have empty bellies. I am pretty much comfortable with mostly any dogs. I don’t do well with bigger dogs that jump as I’m a shorty. I love my senior dogs. My oldest is coming up on 9. I’m comfortable around puppies as well and cleaning up after them if needed. I was raised on a farm so I have experience with chickens and ducks as well as reptiles. I’m comfortable doing snake feedings as long as they are docile. Feeding or watering your farm animals as well for additional fees. I currently work part time and usually weekends only. In the rare event I will pick up a few shifts during the week. I will keep my schedule updated as I know it. I have 3 dogs, small, medium, and large. Two of my dogs are rescues and my other one is a very spoiled chihuahua princess at just 3 pounds. I am more so leaning towards house drop ins. My 3 are older and more laid back so they wouldn’t do well with a hyper dog. My dogs are also on a feeding schedule every night at 7 on the dot is dinner, and they don’t let me forget.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve shared life with a collie, two Dobermans, a boxer, and a pair of West Highland White Terriers, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention — just like one of my own! I own my own cleaning business and manage an Airbnb, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day and can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, morning potty break, or evening cuddles, I can usually make it work. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities and keeping things organized, so you can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s routine. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they have fresh food and water, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away — and to give you total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.

About: I like dogs and I'm good at caring for them. I'm responsible and nurturing. We have two dogs, Olive and Lady. I'd love to meet you and your babies. I would feed them and care for them before work and after. I would also be willing to stop by on my lunchbreak. We can work out the details together. I play with them on leashes outside or in fenced in areas. I will change water, feed, and give treats as needed. I can spend time there at the home with your pet as requested.

About: Hi! My name is Emma. I moved to Fort Smith from Dallas, and have several years experience working in the Veterinary field. I live with my husband, Jason, and share our home with our three cats- Bones, Minx and Tiko- and our two beloved rescue pups, Sadie and Lil Bit! I’ve been surrounded by family pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is my priority and passion! I have enjoyed the wonderful opportunity of working with pets every day, and I am excited to offer quality home visits- with time for play and walks - and of course, treats (if allowed) -with lots of pets and snuggles! Animals are the true joy of the world, wouldn't you agree?! As a fur mama with my own special needs pet, I realize how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your fur baby while you are away. Please let me know if you are interested in allowing me the opportunity to pet sit and care for your pet! I currently have open availability, most days of the week, but I do work a part time job from 9am to 2pm Mon thru Fri, so my availability is flexible around that. I am always willing to work with what you and your pet may need, in order to provide them with the best experience and give the most loving care possible while you are away, but please be aware I will be away for a small portion of the day. I appreciate any insight into your pets typical daily routine, and I will always attempt to follow any specific instructions given closely. I realize how important it is for your pet(s) to recieve consistent care, and I strive to provide your pet(s) with a stress-free transition with minimal disruption while away from their pet parent.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Alma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Alma on Rover is $12.21 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 100 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Alma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alma. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
