“Christopher and Grace were so kind, caring for my dogs like their own. They sent regular reports and pictures and were fast to respond when I reached out. I have no doubt that my pups were well cared for and pampered while in their care, and I’m so grateful!”
“I' am pleased with this caretaker. Would highly recommend her .... She is very loyal and great communication between both parties Would recommend her to all my friends and family.”
“We really appreciated having Sharon watch Koko. She was great about sending pictures and letting us know how our dog baby was doing. We really enjoy our trip because we didn't have to worry we knew that our dog was in a loving home.”
“Erin was so helpful and nice! We needed a place for our little doggo and she gladly took him in. She sends pictures, updates, and let’s you in the know during their stay. She even took extra care of our dog during 4th of July (fireworks). She loved on our dog just as we do and it was so comforting to know he was in good hands while we were away!”
“Can not say enough wonderful things about Tracy and her family! She made me and Benny feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was kind and loving to Benny! Updated me with pictures and even recommended a new toy that he loved at her house! There was no doubt in my mind that she is a dog person and took the very best care of my little fur baby! Thanks, Tracy! You are the best!”
“Meagen was great for our dog, Molly! She communicated very well. Took her on walks. Kept us updated throughout the stay. From past experiences with others, we were concerned as Molly has come back sick or skittish from others. This was not the case with Meagen. Molly was of course ready to come home, but we could tell she did very well”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, so caring for pups has always come naturally to me! I have two friendly, M-to-L dogs of my own who would love some new furry friends to play with. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing with them outside, getting in some extra belly rubs, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel loved. I also love taking pictures, so you will get plenty of them while you’re away! I work during the day with a fairly flexible schedule and occasionally have the option to work from home, which allows me to be available and spend extra time with your pups. We also have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and burn off some energy! My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their people are away. I know how much our furry family members mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pups! 🐾 I walk my dogs after I get off work (usually around 9a), I stay a bit so they can eat, then go to bed around 11a-12p. My boyfriend gets home around 5p and lets the dogs outside in the yard. When I get up by 7p, I feed the dogs and we sit and play. I let my boys on the couch and in bed with me, they are absolutely spoiled. I don’t have any crates but we have a 3 bedroom house I can put my dogs in if needed. I always enjoy feeding my dogs special and nutritious meals because I’m really into health, so your dog can try some new foods!
“Communications were great! We had an initial meet and greet at a nearby park. Kona only stayed one night but Bianca sent several updates with photos. Our girl looked happy and content.”
“Stephen and his family were fantastic. They gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our pet was being taken care of. I will always look to see if he is available next time we are looking for a dog sitter. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Carissa was absolutely amazing with our dog! We were pretty nervous at first since Roux has never stayed at someone else’s house, but she made us feel comfortable right away. She kept great communication the entire time, sending updates and making sure we knew he was doing well. It meant so much to us. When we picked him up, she even surprised us with the sweetest gift — a framed picture of Roux and some treats for him. That really went above and beyond. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she watches. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Colin is a very nice and courteous young man. He was super responsive and sent multiple pictures of our girl. He has a precious dog named Bear that’s just a big fuzzy baby and easy to be around. He has a nice yard which worked great for Lulu Highly recommended!!”
“Christina and family took very good care of our senior dog, Cocoa. She sent pictures and updated us each day on how Cocoa was doing. We would definitely request to rebook in the future.”
“Marissa does a great job looking after our kittem Bug, he looked super relaxed and comfortable in all the photos she sent. I will use her whenever we need someone to look after our pets”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Appleby
An is such a sweet soul and was literally THE best person we could have had to watch our baby. She took such great care of our dog, took our dog out on excursions, kept us updated accordingly, and treated of our dog like her own. We felt very at ease having An watch our dog and were able to actually enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands. Couldn’t recommend An enough and will for sure ask her again to watch our dog for any and all future vacations! I swear she must be the dog sitter to use in NWA!

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.
93% of sitters in Appleby 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 Appleby 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 Appleby.
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 Appleby. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Appleby 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.
