“Ella watched our babies for two days while we were out of town and I wasn’t worried one minute! She sent multiple photos while taking care of them to ease my nerves. She was super punctual to the schedule I provided and stayed extra to make sure my babies got everything they needed!! Will definitely need to reach out again the next time we are leaving out of town!!”

“Sherri was so good with Hazel. I loved that she sent me several pictures a day. I felt so good having Hazel with Sherri. I have already scheduled her for our next vacation. 😊”

“Outstanding service! Jessica stayed over at our house for a little more than a week with our pup. She truly cares for animals and treated her very well and kept us updated along the way. She’s honestly the best sitter from Rover we’ve ever had. Will happily have her watch our angel again.”
“Brittany was awesome and highly recommend. We used her to house and sit, and she was very communicative, on time, flexible and overall an amazing guest! Would recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter”

“Leah did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She took great care of my home, keeping everything neat and tidy, and genuinely cared for my pups as if they were her own. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and kept me updated if anything was needed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Ashley took amazing care of our two pups! She was very responsive and sent pictures while we were gone. She kept the house tidy and took great care of our things. We would absolutely love to have her back in the future!”


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.

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.
“Elijah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away for over two weeks. He took the time to meet our pets beforehand, which made us feel comfortable leaving them in his care. Throughout our trip, he sent regular pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind. His schedule required a little flexibility on a few days, but he communicated well, and it had no impact on our pets' care. We came home to happy, healthy animals and had no issues with our home. We really appreciate the care Elijah provided and will definitely be using him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Kalee did a great job watching my animals and have already rebooked her. I came home to happy healthy pets and she made sure to send photos during her time here. She easily follows instructions for my animals and was able to adjust as needed.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and currently have 2 wonderful dogs that are very dog friendly. We have 2 acres for the dogs to roam I am a full time realtor and I write my own schedule. I can be flexible to your needs. I am open to various routines for multiple animals. I keep a very watchful eye on our animals as they share a space with our 4 daughters who also love animals. Our property is mostly fenced in and we are in a rural area.

“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!”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs through drop-in visits and overnight stays in their homes. During visits, I follow the owner’s instructions for potty breaks, food, water, and making sure everything is secure before I leave. I’ve also helped my mom care for pets booked through Rover when she needed an extra hand. As a residential cleaner, I’m used to being trusted in people’s homes and paying attention to the details that matter to them. I’d love to learn your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I work as an independent delivery driver and residential cleaner, which gives me flexibility to plan pet care around my existing commitments. I’m interested in walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding. I’ll keep my availability updated and only accept bookings when I can give your pet the time and care they need. I live with my partner in a townhome complex without a fenced yard, so dogs in my care would go outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the complex. If your dog is comfortable in the car and you’re happy for me to take them, we can also visit walking spots around Bentonville. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, confirm their care needs before booking, and send updates while you’re away. For care in your home, I make sure doors and gates are secure before I leave.

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.
