“My puppy needs some company and to get her wiggles out mid-day, and Nate is the perfect match for her during the day! He’s detailed, on time, and really communicative. And the puppy adores him.”
“Daphne did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cats while we were out of town! She and her daughter checked on them several times a day and went above and beyond to give them plenty of love, attention, and care. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. We highly recommend Daphne!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic large breeds to tiny companions. As a current pet parent to a Siberian Husky and caregiver for a very small Siamese cat, there is daily practice managing different needs, temperaments, and energy levels under one roof. This background supports providing calm, confident care tailored to each pet’s size and personality. Pet care already is a part of my daily routine, so being able to extend that to other animals/families in the community is rewarding. I currently am in-between full time roles as I was a part of corporate layoffs in the past year, so my time is quite flexible. Consistency and intentionality are what I’ve always leaned on when working with animals, whether they be my own or others. Your home should be left better than when I arrived.
“Kelie really went above and beyond to take wonderful care of Fable. I really appreciate the time she took to make her feel safe while I was gone! Thank you so much Kelie! I'll definitely be referring my friends to her!”
About: Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me for nearly 10 years to care for their pets. I offer peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable hands. I’m attentive to detail and happy to follow your pet’s regular routine to ensure consistency while you’re away and will gladly provide updates. Whether you need someone while you are at work, for a few weeks or last-minute, I can help. I am open to working with your schedule. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow your pet’s routines closely to ensure consistency while you’re away, ensure your pet feels safe and loved and keep things neat and tidy. At this time, I don't have the space to care for pets at my home.
About: Lifelong animal lover here, ready to care for your pet like family. I adjust to their unique personality and schedule, and I’m reliable with flexible availability for those “help, I need a sitter!” moments. Expect regular photo and video updates and lots of love. I work Monday-Friday 8-5 I come home for lunch at 1, and get off at 5. Your pup will have plenty of potty breaks throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard. I have a berenedoodle named Roux who loves to play and will make sure your pet is never bored!
“Sara goes way above and beyond for the furry community. Boyd came back with a little pep in his step and a whole new look on life. Better than a whole year of doggy therapy. If you aren’t using her services, you are wrong!”
“Whitney is wonderful!! She had so much patience with our older, nervous pup. We were so thankful to receive updates throughout the weekend and know that our girl was in great hands!”
About: Since I was a child, I've absolutely loved animals. I grew up with doggies and adopted my first in college. Since then, I've rescued three more. I pet-sit for all of my family members and friends. I have about 20 years experience with sitting, and about 20 of owning. I'm pretty obsessed with dogs, but then again, who isn't? A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I am animal lover who enjoys being around all types of pets. I work from home along with my partner. WHY CHOOSE ME? My dog Roxy was always there for me, so I know how stressed they can be when you're not there, which is why loving them is so crucial. I am responsible, intentional, and will give them full attention in your absence. Home full time and availability on weekends as well. I take a morning and evening walk with 2 potty breaks between the walks. Can accommodate to needs. I am at home full time in a beautiful rural area where I do daily walks. I do not allow strangers around your animal if not otherwise noted.
About: Hello everyone! I am a work from home mom and two dogs of my own. I’ve been a massive animal lover my whole life, and there’s truly nothing I enjoy more than hanging out with animals. Whether your dog needs a high-energy buddy for walks or a calm companion to cuddle with during a house sit, I’m your person. I get that leaving your pet can feel a little stressful, so my main goal is to make sure they feel totally safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m big on communication, so you can always count on plenty of cute photo and video updates to show you how much fun we're having! I am currently a stay at home mom to three kiddos and two fur babies. My dogs go out first thing even before my coffee. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time each day to walks, outdoor time, and exercise for your fur baby. I have two fur babies, one is good combination of spunky and old, our other is handicap so I have experience with older dogs also
About: I love dogs. Always have had one. Our last one passed after 13 years of happiness! Looking to fulfill my love of dogs by taking care of yours! You can be confident that your family member is in outstanding, loving hands. I have been a teacher for 27 years. My schedule allows me to be home when most need someone to take care of their pet. Fenced in yard, crate available, if requested. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. No other animals so yours will get sole attention. Security cameras installed.
“Londyn helped me out in a bind and was able to come care for my dog last min. She was punctual and immediately made me and my pup feel taken care of. It’s clear that she loves animals and treats them like her own!”
About: My dad is a vet so I grew up working in his clinic so that experience helps me a ton almost on a daily basis! Currently have 3 of our own fur babies and are obsessed with them and love giving them their best life! We do have a crawling baby at home so I will probably ask you how your fur baby does with our human baby! I work full time from home which leaves lots of room to care for fur babies. Most of the time I should be fairly flexible with scheduling and availability. We have a fully fenced 1/4 acre property all grass and even a small play pool for them, and a covered patio for shade. We have 3 dogs who all get along with other dogs and are used to friends visiting. All vaccinated and healthy. Definitely would prefer no shedding or minimal shedding if you want the dog inside, but up for discussion :) will always have water bowls inside and outside and can feed as needed. I do have two crates I could use if needed.
About: I have yet to meet a pet I dont like! I have two cats and a senior dog. They are my world! Animals of all shapes and sizes are my passion and I love to learn about them all! Even the scaley ones! 🦎 I get to choose my own schedule so I can spend plenty of time with your pets! I travel all around the 4 state area! Dog walking overnight sitting you name it! I am good at following directions and will take the best care of your babies with plenty of updates and pictures. I love notes and I treat all babies like my own, with love and respect.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bella Vista
Beth is friendly and really knows cat personalities! Super helpful in my case with a young energetic large male and a tiny elderly female that do not do well together. She did not even blink an eye when I explained what needed to be done while I was gone. I have had trust issues with pet sitters in the past, but I think my trust has been regained!
Rebekah was so easy to work with. She did a fabulous job taking care iof our two kitties, Stuart and Cheech. I appreciated the time she spent with them, giving them their treats and playing with them with their rope and taking care of any mishaps that might have happened (hairballs). She showed great respect for our home and pets by asking if her son could come along, which was no problem, but I appreciated she asked first. We came home to happy relaxed cats. Rebekah was reliable, trustworthy and did a great job communicating . Would use Rebekah again and would recommend her to others.
Candy was great for checking in on our cat while we were out of town. She kept him company and shared brief descriptions for how he was doing and photos each time which I really appreciated. The house was safely secured and all of Jabba’s food, water and litter were in good condition. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bella Vista is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 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 902 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Bella Vista. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
