“Amanda was great! Very trustworthy and went above and beyond for my pets while I was out of town. She always kept me updated and sent pictures. Definitely will be booking with her again. Thank you!!!!”

About: Animals, specifically dogs and cats, have always been a key part of my life. I have a black lab of my own named Indy and she is my pride and joy. There are also several other dogs and cats within my inner circle that I absolutely adore. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your baby, and I would treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable and comfortable following even the most elaborate routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, recovery restrictions, or lots of extra cuddles. I also have several close friends and family members who work in veterinary medicine, including my cousin who is currently in her third year of veterinary school and is always just a phone call away. My schedule is extremely flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs rather than expecting their routine to fit around mine. Pets in my home will be treated just like my own—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of cuddles! The dogs in my home are very friendly and accustomed to being around other animals. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and at home as possible while they’re with me. Pets are welcome on the furniture and beds in my home, especially if that’s what they’re used to at home. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated at certain times, I also have a kennel available and am happy to follow their normal routine.
“Ashleigh is fantastic! She did recurring drop-in visits for our cats while we were away for a few weeks. Her communication is excellent - she would let me know when arriving, when leaving, also sent pics of kitties, and let me know if there were any questions or concerns. She is dependable, trustworthy, and considerate. Plus the kitties loved her! I would absolutely hire her again. And I have already recommended her services to a friend.”

“Courtney was an absolute doll! I was so nervous leaving my pets for 10 days while we were on a cruise but Courtney was in constant contact with me 3 times a day, sending pictures and updates. She even went overboard to make friends with my skittish cat, who she won over after a few days! I highly recommend her. She was kind, gentle and patient with my pets and we will definitely be using her services again for our next vacation. Thank you Courtney for loving on Diesel and Danté. ❤️”

“Roziny is fantastic! They were available on 2 days notice for a family emergency I needed a sitter for, and they were very attentive and mindful of what my cats needed while I was gone. They made sure to give them a good amount of playtime and were careful to give my babies space when they felt like they were done with human time. I cannot recommend Roziny any more, they will take amazing care of your fur babies!!”


About: I have grown up with and around animals for the last 19 years, my family, friends, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, and let there dogs out while they are out of town and to feed and take care of their cats. The nickname my family and friends gave me was Snow White because animals always seem to be drawn to me. Within my 19 years I have had 10 cats, 7 dogs, 1 ferret, 2 bunnies, 5 fish, 3 frogs, 3 lizards. This show the wide spectrum of how many different animals I learned to take care of over the years. I am currently not working and just doing school work online so I have plenty of time to hangout and play with your dogs or cats. I am free to sit and hangout with them any time of the day or any time on the weekends If your pet requires any walks I am more than happy to do it for as long as they need or want, ensuring the weather is fit for their comfortably, making sure they are in a safe area. If your pet requires any special care or meal prep just let me know and I will be more than glad to fulfill those needs. I am not afraid to play in the dirt, I’ll bond with your fur baby how ever they wish, following the pace of their choosing.
About: Having two cats and having cared for two dogs before, I bring a lot of experience in understanding different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s training, senior care, or just giving extra attention, I’m committed to providing the best care for every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is very flexible right now since I’m in trucking school, and I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs. As long as I get my reps in, I’m free to come and go as needed to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I have a safe and welcoming environment for pets in my home. My two cats are indoor, and I’ve recently adopted an outside cat who now has a spot in the yard. I’ve also had an inside/outside dog in the past with a fenced yard, so I’m experienced in making sure pets have plenty of space to roam while staying safe. I’m always careful to keep the environment calm and secure, whether in my home or yours.
“Mallory was great she stopped by when she said she would. I was new to hiring a stranger to take care of my two dogs and two cats. I had my house full of cameras and every time she came over she loved my pets, played with my dogs and even cleaned up the stuffing my dogs tore up from my couch. She was even lucky and was able to pet my cats and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter box. I will definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future.”

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: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
About: I can drop in and/ or walk a dog anytime. I own two big dogs at home in Arkansas (Doberman, & a coonhound/German shepherd mix ) , I took them both to some training. I have owned smaller dogs as well. I am in law school . I have transportation. I can take animals to vet for you, of course you would have to pay for their visit and gas money. I can come over to feed them. I can occasionally stay and pet sit. I currently have a kitten. I am in law school online and substitute teach on the side, so I have a lot of availability but need to plan in advance. I cannot watch at my apartment. But I can be very flexible for your needs, such as walks, visits, taking to appointments, brushing, washing, feeding
“Absolutely amazing sitter, highly recommend and will rebook! Thorough communication, plenty of pics and flexible with all my girls’ needs. I can see she truly is passionate about animals and has plenty of love to give to all pets!”

About: My goal is to gain more hands-on experience caring for large dogs. I've been around large breeds throughout my life, as many of my friends and family have owned them. I'm already comfortable interacting with bigger dogs and have experience walking, feeding, and helping care for them. I'm excited to build on that experience and become an even more confident and knowledgeable caregiver. I’m currently working part time in Little Rock, and I’m also a full time online college student. My schedule will be flexible enough for me to look after your dog for a day or two! When I’m with your dog, they are my top priority.

About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avilla
Amanda takes wonderful care of my fur babies. I have a protective dog that does not like new people and takes a while to warm up to strangers. Amanda’s calm and caring demeanor broke down those barriers within minutes. My dog has never gotten so friendly with someone new so fast. Amanda is a great communicator and I love getting her updates on what my fur babies are up to. She administers medication and food exactly as instructed. She is easy to schedule with and she has helped me out tremendously with extra visits when my travel plans got delayed. My fur babies love having her come over and I love having someone I can trust. Amanda is dependable and gives me peace of mind knowing my home and fur babies are cared for.

Amanda was absolutely phenomenal! I was so worried about leaving my babies at home for a last-minute trip, as some of them are a little skittish, but within the first day or so, they all warmed up to her and were waiting for her cuddles and attention. I can’t recommend her enough — she went above and beyond, and comes with plenty of experience with both cats and dogs with varying temperaments. 🐶🐈⬛🐕🐾 (She also sent lots of great photos!)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avilla is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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 471 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avilla. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avilla. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
