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.
“Juli was the best Rover sitter I have watch my pets. She was attentive, communicated well, sent photos and updates and went above and beyond her job duties. She followed the care instructions and even wrote down daily notes. Before leaving, she made sure the house was tidied up as well. She is very responsible, kind and an overall stellar hire. She is the first person I am going to contact if and when I need a sitter for my pets again.”
“Alaina was so great with our large pup Cooper. He was so well cared for and we received frequent updates. Cooper loved his walks and cuddle times - we have already booked Alaina for two more stays.”
About: I am an animal lover through and through! As most, i’ve grown up caring for dogs and cats. I just can’t get enough animals in my life- I love all pets! From dogs and cats to reptiles and fish, I can care for any pet needed. I have experience with specialty pets such as rabbits, geckos, lizards, guinea pigs… if you own it i’ve probably cared for it! I have experience volunteering at the humane society, and my current volunteer efforts are at Arkansas Pet Rabbit Network.I truly love getting to know your furry (or scaly😉) friend of any kind. I have a love for older furry friends and experience caring for senior dogs and cats. I am a part time worker during the week, with much free time to dedicate to your babies! I can drop in during the week, or offer full time care fridays-mondays. I can do whatever you need for your pets in the home. When i’m with an animal, they’re my #1 priority! Even if your baby has oddly specific needs- send em my way!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. I love all animals and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds and exotic animals. I'm available Monday-Friday and some weekends depending on needs. I look forward to assisting you and giving your fur babies lots of love in your time of need. I will be more than happy to provide all necessary care to your fur babies in the comfort of their own home. As well as take on regular walks.
About: I provide loving, dependable care for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior pets, and attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, routines, and special needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including morning and evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight stays. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following each pet’s routine and instructions carefully. I provide a clean, calm environment, secure doors and gates, supervise pets closely, and communicate with owners regularly.
“She stayed at my apartment and was perfect to take care of my dogs!!! My puppy ended up chewing a plant I left out and she took the absolute best care of him. Will use her again.”
About: I’ve watched dogs for as long as i can remember. Even when my parents went out of town I was always in charge of watching the dogs. For many summers, I have pet sat for all kinds of dogs. I’m looking forward to helping this summer too! I’m currently home for the summer! I just finished up my freshman year of college and I have plenty of time and availability for animals!! I care for pets by checking in every couple hours and also by making sure to spend a substantial amount of time with the animals while they are under my care.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive and dependable, and I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and my goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both of you! So i currently am i xray tech and ma at Baptist urgent care in Little Rock, and my schedule is put out to where i work a couple days in a row, and then I’m off for a couple days and I get bored with those days I’m off and I want something I love to do! So in my house I have 3 dogs, I have a fenced in yard and I also have sun shade around my entire fence! My top priority is my dogs safety no matter what! And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!
“Raven was wonderful! When she came for a “meet and greet”, 3 out of 4 of our cats immediately came out to see her, which is unusual with strangers. During our trip, Raven took great care of our dog and cats. She communicated frequently and sent some photos, too. I definitely recommend her and will absolutely book her again!”
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My mom and dad were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I have no problem caring for dogs in any age range, I can walk and house sit. I am currently working part time as a Realtor so I have plenty of time to watch and walk your pups! I can board on the weekends or weekdays if needed. I have a full privacy fenced around my backyard with two of my own fur babies who are neutered and friendly. But I can crate your pups to keep them safe and separate mine to make yours a priority for the time being.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 318 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
