About: While I'm just beginning my pet-sitting journey, my love for animals is what inspired me to get started! ❤️ I understand that every cat and dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I'm committed to learning each pet's individual needs and following their owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I'll approach every visit with patience, kindness, and care. I'm excited to build lasting relationships with pets and their families while creating happy, positive experiences along the way! I’m available Monday through Friday in the evenings after 5 pm and have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays! 💕 Whether your fur baby needs some extra love, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you're away, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I’ll always make sure your kitty feels safe, comfortable, and cared for! When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect your space and follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of attention, and playtime based on their personality and comfort level. For pets staying in my home, my goal is to provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. Since I have a cat of my own, I'll be mindful of each pet's temperament and make sure any introductions are handled slowly and safely, with separate spaces when needed.

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who loves animals of all ages. I’m Deaf, and communication has never been an issue. I stay in touch easily by text and messaging, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and check-ins while you’re away. Please don’t let my deafness keep you from trusting me with your pets! Energetic puppies get consistency, playtime, and positive reinforcement. Senior pets get extra patience, gentle care, and attention. I treat every pet I care for like a member of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind. While you’re away, your furry family members will get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and dependable care. I understand that cats have unique personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Some cats love attention and cuddles, while others prefer their independence and personal space. I respect each cat's individual needs and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. My approach to cat care includes providing fresh food and water, keeping litter boxes clean, offering playtime and companionship, and maintaining their familiar daily routines. I am patient with shy or nervous cats and understand the importance of building trust at their own pace. Whether caring for a playful kitten, an independent adult cat, or a senior cat who needs extra gentleness and attention, I strive to provide a peaceful and comfortable environment. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, attention to detail, and genuine compassion for animals. I treat every cat with the same love, kindness, and respect I would give my own pets. My goal is to give cat parents peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves a safe, clean, peaceful, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on providing a welcoming, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, fresh water, regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest. I carefully supervise pets, respect their individual needs, and follow their established routines to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect the owner's property, instructions, and the pet's familiar surroundings. I make sure pets receive proper feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to securing doors, gates, and other areas to prevent accidental escapes. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet needing extra patience and gentle attention, I strive to make every experience positive and stress-free. I value trust, honesty, reliability, and open communication. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can enjoy peace of mind while they are away. My goal is simple: Treat every pet like family and every home with care and respect.

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Arkoma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Arkoma is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $47 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 41 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arkoma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

100% of sitters in Arkoma 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 Arkoma 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 Arkoma.

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 Arkoma. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.

You and your Arkoma 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.

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.
