“I have had quite a few rover sitters due to moving for jobs and she has been the best by far! I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and she sent both pictures as well a couple of videos of all the cuddles/playtime. She was also respectful and dependable.”

“Aulelei is THE BEST!!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We had a lot of last minute chaos that was super unexpected right before we left, and Aulelei was INCREDIBLE. She was so flexible, so communicative, and so responsible! She took such good care of our fur babies!! I would recommend her to everyone! Thanks again Aulelei!!!”

“Leland was great! He is a kind soft spoken young man that loves animals. I really enjoyed the daily pictures and updates. My dogs and house were very well taken care of. I will definitely use him again!”

About: My attention to detail and helping ensure pet parents have a relaxing time on vacay by proving top-tier care sets me apart from other sitters. I like to send pictures I’ve taken throughout the day to pet parents and let them know what we did for the day. My 3+ years of experience working at a doggy daycare has helped me understand our furry friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages - puppies to seniors, given meds, and took care of a dog with paralyzed back legs. Love providing care for our furry friends! I’m currently working part time in the evenings typically on the weekends. Other than that, I’m free during the day/night. I typically work 4/5 hours in the evening. I’m off by 9 pm at the latest. For previous client care, I’ve either stayed overnight at their house or made several trips during the day and evening. If I stay overnight, I wake up let them outside to go potty and then feed breakfast (if they get it). Let them out again after breakfast. If I didn’t stay over night, then I would arrive in the morning and do the same process as if I stayed overnight. I will hang out with them and let them go outside to potty several times throughout the day. I will also try and play fetch if they like that. For dinner, it’s the same process as breakfast. I’ve also taken some dogs on walks to get their exercise in. Anything to keep our furry friends needs met!
“Ashleigh was fantastic! She was incredibly communicative and sent tons of photos. She showed so much care for our dogs and would update us with anything unusual she noticed or if anything happened to one of them. She was also more than willing to clean up big messes from our puppies which was great! Would definitely recommend Ashleigh to watch and care for your pets!”

“I am so happy I was able to book Ms. Courtney. She made me feel at ease about my little boy Charley. She was on time with all visits, followed by pictures and updates. I highly recommend her. Very nice young lady. Thank you so much Courtney! Will definitely be using her again”

“Maddie was great with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after our first meet up. It is very clear how much she loves animals. She took great care of Stanley and all of my additional requests while she was at my house. I am so grateful for her, and would trust her with any pets!”

“I really appreciate the time and care. Emily took with taking care of my babies. Being able to watch them in my home meant so much to me with me traveling it keeps the dogs feeling comfortable and I really appreciated that from her. I can tell that the dogs really enjoyed her and the time they were able to spend they were just as happy when I left as when I got home. I think her so much will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Jozlyne did a wonderful job. Like most people’s pets, our pets get special treatment and she was definitely up for it! She was caring and attentive. We got updates and amazing pictures while we were away. I felt super comfortable having Jozlyne taking care of things while we were gone. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Welcome to my Rover! I’m 26 years old and a lifelong animal lover. Growing up, I had the most amazing boxer rescue named Duke, and through my teenage years and young adulthood another rescue Munson, who was a black lab/pit bull mix. Currently mom to two fur babies Dexter and Koda, a black cat and a tuxedo cat. Aside from my primary occupation, I’m a very active person and love being outside. I’m a lifelong animal shelter volunteer and have worked with animals from newborn to elderly, perfect health to less than, anxiety, etc. I understand the obligations of everyday pet parents and am more than happy to meet and provide top tier care and support for your fur babies! I am currently working out a full-time schedule as I work remotely and am offering short-term care for the time being. All drop-ins, walks, and sittings will be accepted case by case. Will update when I move to a more regular schedule! The trust required to invite a sitter into your home and around your fur babies is paramount, and as a professional, your home becomes my office and will be treated with the utmost respect. I tend to leave a home cleaner than I found it, and follow instructions to a T, so please do not hesitate to let me know how I can best care for your fur babies and your home while I'm in service!
About: I have been petting sitting for multiple years now, as well as growing up in an animal-loving home. I also have experience with giving fur friends medication when necessary. I am currently a college student, and have the mid-afternoons free to come check in on your furry friends! I also work part-time and work mostly at night during weekdays. I get off around 10:00, and can come swing by after work or stay the night. My weekends are fully open, so any time of day works for me to come spend some time with your pets!! I am very big on communication with my clients, letting them know when I arrive and leave, and also just taking pictures and updating clients throughout the time I am caring for their fur kids.

About: I have cared for many a dog and cat for family and friends. As well as I am a pet owner myself. I will love your baby and play with your baby as if it were my own. Pet sitting and house sitting will be my job. So I will be dedicated to whatever schedule is needed for my client. I will be available on weekdays and weekends. I also can provide pet pick up and drop off to vet visits or groomers for a fee I would rather keep your pet in your home. If I need to I am certainly willing to bring to my house. I do not have a fenced yard, but can walk your pet for exercise. I do own two cats, so if your baby does not tolerate them, then it would for sure need to be your home I stay in with them.
“Anna did such a good job caring for Mowgli and communicating with me. Mowgli is currently a very involved medical case, and Anna took on the challenge like a pro. She restricted his activity (no easy feat with a large breed puppy), changed countless bandages (including purchasing more supplies), gave oral medication, used a light therapy device, and brushed his teeth! All the while she was sending me photos of Mowgli and commenting how cute he was. She even bought him a toy! I am so relieved that the person taking care of my whole world (!) loved him like I do. Her passion and ability to follow detailed instructions helped Mowgli continue to heal in my absence. I will certainly book Anna again and encourage anyone looking for a dependable caretaker to do the same. Thank you, Anna ♥️”

About: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.

About: I have had many pets growing up and there are still some that are living with my parents ( our family dog and cat). These animals have taught me to be sensitive and realize how you treat a living thing matters.. I take care of my cats better than I do myself. I'll get them a "Churu" treat every morning. They are my life ! I currently do independent contracting like doordash and instacart so I have a very open schedule. I am excited to make this a part of my daily routine. I have two indoor cats that I keep inside at all times. I firmly believe on keeping them inside where they are safe and can't harm other animals as well.
About: Hi, I’m Anna! I’m a personal trainer and fitness coach in Little Rock, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a young Aussie mix named Mali, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs, daily walks, playtime, crate routines, and giving pets lots of attention throughout the day. As a personal trainer, I’m used to being responsible, punctual, and consistent with schedules. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so communication is extremely important to me. I’ll send regular photo updates, walk summaries, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Avilla on Rover is $30.53 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avilla. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Avilla walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Avilla maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Avilla choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
