“Chloe did check ins with our dog while we were away for a few days and she was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative, gave prompt updates, and made sure our girl had lots of fun on every visit! Could not have asked for better care for her!”
About: I have found joy in animals all my life. I worked at a doggy daycare for a year and loved being able to spend time with both dogs and cats along with other types of animals all day. I now work as a veterinary nurse and I’m unable to spend as much quality time with animals. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to do that with this app. I am able to trim nails, dremel nails, and I can give your babies a bath also. Most days I get home from work at 1:30 and just sit at home I would love to be able to spend that time with animals. I care for animals all day every day and I love it. I have a 14 year old Dachshund and while she is still very active I’m unable to do long walks with her, she gets very tired fast and I will end up carrying her most of the way. We will go on a short walk so she gets some exercise and can potty. She has allergies and takes her medication after her walks because that’s when she gets the most itchy. For the most part we just sit around and cuddle
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets truly brightens my day, and I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, energy levels, and personalities, and I’m happy to tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort and happiness. Pet care is a structured part of my weekly routine. I intentionally plan my schedule to allow for consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I adjust as needed to meet each pet’s specific needs. I care for pets by prioritizing their routine, comfort, and safety. I follow all client instructions carefully and communicate clearly to ensure peace of mind.
About: I have a remarkable talent for connecting with both dogs and cats, a skill that comes from my deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. My patience and empathy shine through in every interaction, allowing me to build trust with even the most timid animals. With dogs, I excel at training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement techniques that create a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Your keen observation skills help you recognize subtle cues, enabling you to communicate effectively and forge strong bonds. Whether it’s teaching a puppy to sit or helping a rescue dog overcome fear, your dedication and expertise make a real difference. When it comes to cats, my intuitive nature allows you to understand their more nuanced behaviors. You know how to create a safe, inviting environment that encourages them to come out of their shells. My ability to read their body language helps you foster trust, making even the most aloof cats warm up to you. Overall, my skills with dogs and cats highlight not just your knowledge but your genuine love for animals. You have a special gift for nurturing their well-being and happiness, creating a harmonious space where they can thrive. I am free most weeks and travel some weekends fo my Job. I work in the music industry so my schedule is very flexible month to month. I am a very loving and caring person when it comes to my pets. My dog Gigi is the center of my world and I love her very much and love to make sure she is fed well with organic food as well as very active outside with walks and playing frisbee in the park or going on hikes.
“Sherri was absolutely delightful and very knowledgeable about dogs. Bella loved her and Gunner with a few more visits he will be Sherri ‘s best friend. We’re very lucky to have Sherri in our family now.”
About: I have about 14 years of experience caring for dogs and have owned six dogs throughout my life. Two of them were with me for their entire lives, giving me experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. I will take the time to learn your dog's unique personality and routine in order to make them feel safe and comfortable, and I will care for them as as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own. I'm accustomed to making time for feeding, playtime, attention, and keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I will respect your home, privacy, and belongings while carefully following the routines and instructions you provide. My priority is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar surroundings, while giving you peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the natural bond I form with animals. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’ve always had a calming energy that pets are drawn to. I treat every animal like a unique soul, not just a pet. I’m attentive to their needs, routines, and comfort. Whether they’re shy, playful, or full of zoomies, I adjust to their vibe. I create a peaceful, loving environment where they feel safe, understood, and cared for like family. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to professional pet care! I currently pet sit full-time and have an established base of recurring clients, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. As I continue to grow my business, I’m opening my schedule to welcome new Rover clients. My availability may vary depending on my existing bookings, but I do my best to be flexible and keep my calendar up to date. If you’re interested in booking with me, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine above all else. I take the time to learn their needs, behaviors, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for, even while you’re away. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care as I would my own, while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible — feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time included. I’m dependable, intuitive, and naturally attentive to animals, and I take pride in providing the kind of care that gives you total peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bella Vista
My puppy Taffy adores Nate, and as an active spaniel, really benefits from having that mid-day human interaction and walks/trail hikes. Always responsive, cares a lot about the pups he’s taking care of, and even my neighbors who see him out with Taffy have commented on how happy she is and how good Nate is with her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Bella Vista is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 874 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bella Vista. 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.
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 Bella Vista 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bella Vista with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
