“I would highly recommend Ella for all of your pet sitting needs! She communicates extremely well, takes great care of your pets, and clearly really cares about the well being of your pet! She sent many great photos and was very easy to work with. I will definitely be booking with Ella again!”
“Sara is hands down the best!!! This was our first time using Rover & we couldn’t have been happier. Our dog has some anxiety & takes time to warm up to people. Sarah was so patient with him & took amazing care of him! She was super communicative & even accommodated our changing schedule due to delayed flights. Plus the daily pics & updates were SO fun to see. Everyone should book Sara to take care of their pets!!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive experience and deep passion for dog care, particularly through my work with a second chance animal shelter. Fostering dogs has allowed me to develop a unique skill set that includes training puppies and providing specialized care for senior dogs. I understand the challenges and rewards of nurturing dogs from various backgrounds, and I am adept at creating individualized care plans that cater to their specific needs. My experience with fostering has also equipped me with patience and empathy, enabling me to build strong bonds with dogs, regardless of their past experiences. Additionally, I am knowledgeable about behavioral training techniques, which helps me instill good habits in puppies while also addressing any behavioral issues in older dogs. This blend of hands-on experience, training expertise, and a heartfelt commitment to animal welfare ensures that every dog in my care receives the love, attention, and tailored support they deserve. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is an essential aspect of my lifestyle that promotes both my well-being and that of my furry companion. Each morning begins with a refreshing walk, allowing my dog to enjoy the outdoors while kickstarting my day with exercise and fresh air. Throughout the week, I allocate specific times for feeding, play, and grooming, ensuring that my pet receives the attention and care it deserves. Additionally, every weekend is an opportunity for quality bonding time, whether it's a trip to the dog park or a leisurely hike together. Spending quality time with your pet not only enriches my daily life but also strengthens the special bond I share with dogs, making it a rewarding and fulfilling routine. Caring for pets in my home or my client's home revolves around three key pillars: safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. To ensure safety, I conduct a thorough examination of the living space to identify and remove any potential hazards, such as toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or unsafe areas where pets might escape. Building trust is equally crucial; I take the time to establish a positive relationship with the pets through gentle interactions, consistent routines, and recognizing their unique personalities and needs. This fosters a sense of security and comfort for them. Lastly, creating a suitable environment is vital; I ensure that pets have access to clean water, nutritious food, and cozy resting areas, while also providing stimulating toys and activities to keep them engaged. By prioritizing these aspects, I strive to provide a caring and supportive atmosphere that promotes the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care.
About: I have hands on experience with puppies—helping with potty training, crate training, and basic commands and I’m also very comfortable with senior pets who may need a little extra patience, medication, or mobility support. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just snuggles on the couch, I make sure they get the attention and love they’re used to at home. My goal is always to make both you and your pet feel at ease, knowing they’re in caring and capable hands. I am currently working full-time, but I am able to provide quick potty breaks and feedings in the mornings. After work I am available for longer walks, cuddles, and play time. I am very trustworthy and I approach animals with a calming vibe. I understand your pets can be anxious and protective over your home, but I ensure that they trust me before anything.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bella Vista
She took great care of our dogs while we were away and made sure they were safe, loved, and well cared for. She kept us updated, spent time playing with them, and even handled an unexpected issue with one of our dogs calmly and compassionately. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were being looked after. We really appreciate all the care she gave Buffy and Max!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bella Vista stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 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.
