“From the moment I meet Jessie, she made me feel confident that I had made the right decision to use Rover and choose her as our sitter. She stayed one week in my house and took excellent care of my three dogs. She was in contact with me every day sending pictures and updates. My dogs loved Jessie. She is a lovely young lady and very professional.”
“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”
“Graham is a life saver! He agreed to take care of our two dogs last minute for our week long vacation. Our dogs can be a little difficult to warm up to, but he was very patient and our dogs ended up loving him. He sent regular check-ins about our pups including pics and videos. We will definitely reach out again to Graham for walks and dog sitting again.”
“Donna was simply the best!! She took such amazing care of our three fur babies! Was wonderful at communicating, sending pictures and updates multiple times a day. They loved her and loved playing with her each day. Will definitely use her again!”
“Lauren was great! She stayed with our boy for 5 days while we were in Florida. We recieved tons of photos and updates about his eating habits. She took him on walks and gave him lots of love. Charlie can be a handful sometimes and we are so happy that we chose lauren and came home to a happy and healthy boy.”
“We had a few unexpected stressors come up during our trip, but worrying about our animals was absolutely not one of them—and that peace of mind meant everything. Jessica was professional, communicative, and consistently punctual throughout the entire stay. She clearly cared for our home and, most importantly, for our animals as if they were her own. One thing that really stood out was her thoughtfulness on our return day—she stayed a bit later to make sure our dogs weren’t kenneled for an extended period, which we truly appreciated. We will absolutely be rebooking with Jessica in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house and pet sitter.”
“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She sent many updates, photos, and videos throughout the weekend. I know our animals were in great hands and we came home to them being very happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using Courtney in the future!”
About: I've been pet-sitting for over a decade. I prioritize open communication (and plenty of adorable fur baby pics!) so that you can enjoy your trip without the stress. Some examples of specialized care: Geriatric care, Administering prescribed medications, Blind+Deaf pet care, etc. I'm an actor! This means that sometimes I have to travel for work. I also have several regulars that I pet-sit for, and their schedules are booked months in advance. Because of this, I ask that you provide dates as early as possible so that I can confirm whether or not I have availability. Whenever I meet a new pet, I will ask in-depth questions about their routines. It makes an easier transition for the lil guys if I'm able to maintain their schedule as closely as possible. I will also double-check how long a pet can safely be left alone in case I need to run errands or there is an emergency.
“Adriana and her husband were fantastic. I asked them at the last minute to watch our girls so we could go to a wedding. She even stayed about an hour and a half later than originally scheduled. We cannot thank her enough!”
“Sophia is the best! We had to leave our service dog (yes, there were many reasons for this) and he was just as happy when we returned as we left. You could tell he was well taken care of and enjoyed lots of treats. He’s not talking about how many but that’s ok. We will definitely be using her again.”
“We cannot recommend Londyn highly enough! She stayed at our home over a long weekend to care for our dog, Brontë, and our cat, Tig, and did an outstanding job. It was clear from the moment we returned that both pets had been well cared for, happy, relaxed, and given plenty of attention and affection while we were away. Londyn also took excellent care of our home, leaving everything spotless and in excellent condition. Knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. We were so impressed with the care she provided that we have already booked her again for a future trip. We would not hesitate to recommend Londyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
About: A calm, loving home where your dog gets to be part of the family 🐾🌿 My days are a mix of kids, dogs, nature, and a little controlled chaos. 😂 I homeschool my kids, work with dogs at Zen Dog Training, and spend as much time outside as I can. Dogs staying with me naturally become part of our everyday routine. Your dog won't be sitting in a kennel all day or treated like just another booking. They’ll hang out with us, get plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, exercise, and lots of downtime in a calm home environment. I’m a nurse by trade, so I’m naturally pretty attentive to the little things. Safety, routines, medications, behavior changes, and making sure everyone is comfortable are all things I take seriously. I’ve also spent years caring for and working with dogs, including nervous dogs, high energy dogs, seniors, and dogs who just need a little extra patience. What your dog can expect here: 🐾 Lots of companionship and attention 🌿 Walks and outdoor time when appropriate 🧠 Play and mental enrichment 🛋️ Plenty of quiet time to relax 💊 Medication and routine care when needed ❤️ Care based on your dog’s personality and needs I really enjoy getting to know each dog's personality. Some dogs want to be outside sniffing everything and involved in absolutely everything we do. Other dogs would rather find a cozy spot on the couch and spend the day napping. Both are totally welcome here. Working in professional dog training has also taught me a lot about reading body language and understanding when a dog needs space, structure, stimulation, or just some time to settle in. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I want you to be able to enjoy your trip or time away without worrying about how your dog is doing. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like an individual and make them part of the family while they're here, I'd love to meet you both and see if we're a good fit! 🐾 I’m a remote worker with a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the day. I’m able to give dogs frequent potty breaks, attention, playtime, and plenty of time to settle in and relax. I also keep my calendar updated so my availability is accurate. I’m home most of the day, so your dog gets lots of companionship and attention instead of being left alone for long stretches. My kids love dogs, but interactions are always supervised and I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and boundaries. I keep things calm and structured, with frequent potty breaks, play, enrichment, and exercise based on what your dog is comfortable with. I also work professionally with dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language and handling different temperaments.
About: I’ve loved animals and cared for pets since I was young (growing up with Labrador retrievers and miniature dachshunds). As a proud dog mom to Henry, my long-haired miniature dachshund, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, playtime, walks, and providing lots of love and attention. As a volleyball coach, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to individual needs. Whether your pet needs an overnight companion, a midday check-in, or extra cuddles while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re in great hands. I know first hand just how important those daily check-ins and photos can be when you’re away from your furry family members. I’m currently working full time from 8:30 am to 4 pm M-F. I have an hour lunch break that I usually leave my office during. I have very little schedule interruptions throughout the week, but will always communicate conflicts in advance. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a dog park and paved sidewalks within a fenced community. I enjoy taking walks in my spare time and am an ex-collegiate athlete which can help to manage larger dogs and keep both parties safe.
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
“Thanks for your exceptional care of our animals while we’re gone on long trip. Jackie did a great job while we were away even helped with our teenager, getting her to orientation at school before we were able to get back. The Dogs said that Jackie was fun to play with and hang out with while watching TV.”
“Tyler was amazing with my boys! Sent regular updates and pics. The boys seemed so at ease and peaceful when we arrived home which was very comforting. House was also clean! He took out the trash and cleaned up around the house. Will be requesting Tyler every time we have trips out of town planned.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 10. I’ve always loved being able to care for my loved ones pets, whether it be walking, bathing, or feeding them. I have had almost any pet you can imagine, and it brightens my day to be surrounded by animals. I am a driven and caring student wanting to put myself through college, and make animals happy! I’m currently working a flexible schedule where I can choose my own hours, so I am practically available whenever I am needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a large dog and cat friendly home with a fenced yard and a walking trail by the water that would be enjoyable for dog walks. There are no children in the home, and I have a friendly dog and cat who loves to play if allowed.
“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”
“Kristen is awesome with my high energy pups! She followed my directions to a T and is so great about fitting in visits and overnight stays into her schedule. She’s my go to sitter in NWA! Thanks for the great work Kristen. The girls look forward to seeing you again!”

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 Bella Vista 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 Bella Vista 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 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!
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.
