About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, and even farm animals—so caring for pets is truly a passion of mine. I understand the needs and personalities of different animals, and I love giving them attention, care, and affection. I’m responsible, dependable, and have reliable transportation, so you can count on me to be on time and keep your pets happy and safe while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and disabled dogs as well. I have a senior Siberian Husky with hip dysplasia so i have learned to administer medication and provide special care to those pups who need it. I have raised a whole litter of puppies as well so i am experienced in potty and crate training too! I have never lived without a pup in my home and i love every bit of being a dog mom! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I work a flexible part-time job at Dutch Bros, which allows me plenty of time to walk, feed, and give attention to pets consistently throughout the day on weekdays and weekends. I am typically available everyday of the week besides mondays. When i am working i usually get off no later than 6pm so i am very open to overnight stays as well! Due to this flexibility i am open to last minute bookings! I visit pets in their own homes, following each owner’s instructions to keep them happy and comfortable. When in your home I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, any anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! You can count on me to respect your home and maintain your pets’ usual routines.
“Hannah did a great job with our girls. She followed the schedule. Sent pics throughout the day and you could tell that they were well cared for. We came home to the house as we left it, and she even washed the sheets and brought in the garbage cans from the road.”
“Shannon was personable, responsive and attentive to detail. Shannon sent pictures so we knew how our little guy was doing and left our home clean and tidy. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Gloria has once again taken wonderful care of my babies, one of whom currently has special medical needs. When they are in her care I feel confident they will get plenty of TLC and I am given regular updates which are much appreciated!”
“Elise was amazing. She helped us out on very short notice, was super easy to communicate with, and left our place spotless! Our animals loved hanging out with her, and she sent plenty of photo updates to make us feel comfortable, will absolutely be booking again!”
About: I have been boarding, walking, and doing drop in visits for friends and family since I graduated high school. I have a lot of experience with all different breeds of dogs. I am available for you and your dogs full time! I can be available both weekdays and weekends and any time you might need help with your fur babies! I have a fenced in back yard and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I have an 11 year old Border Collie and a 3 year old Schnauzer Doodle. I have experience with dogs with health issues as my Border Collie has epilepsy. If your dog is boarding with me, I will take them on walks around my neighborhood and I have lots of toys for any playful pups. ❤️
About: Hello! I’m from Mexico, I been living in California for almost 5 years, right now I’m in the beautiful Palo Cedro area. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a teenager, I feed them, brush them, clean for them and specially I love walking with dogs and play with cats and also give them all the love! I work full time Monday to Friday, and I like to relax in the afternoons to recover my energy. But I have Friday night and weekends off to take care and have fun with your furry friends! I live alone in a one bedroom house with AC and have a big space to walk them on a leash. I’m happy also to come to yours or take them for a walk
“Chandler is great with our two dogs! I would highly recommend him. He also sent me videos everyday and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely use him again! It was nice for our dogs to be able to stay at their own home!”
About: I don’t have a lot of professional experience yet, but I’ve taken care of my family’s dog and cat and really enjoyed it. I made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got lots of attention, and stayed on their normal routine. I love animals and I’m patient, responsible, and always want to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m very attentive and make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need. The only thing I have going on right now is my part-time job, where I usually work 4-5 hour shifts about four times a week. Before and after my shifts, I’m free and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m very attentive and will always make their well-being my priority.
About: Hi, I’m Grace! I love all animals and grew up surrounded by them and have many of my own at home! I currently have 3 dogs,3 cats, parrots, and chickens who I take care of. I have even volunteered at Haven Humane many times, so I have lots of experience with feeding, walking, playing, and grooming! I also learned how to read pet body language and manage animals with different temperaments as a volunteer. I’m good with both young pets and older ones, and am even comfortable with administering medicine if needed, as I have pets that need regular medications. Whether you have an energetic pet who needs lots of attention and walks, or one who just wants to cuddle and needs someone to sit around at home with, I will take the best possible care of them! I’m currently working part-time usually Thursday through Sunday, though my schedule varies. I’m typically available in the afternoons or evenings on these days, so I can do walks or play dates. I’m free to house sit Mondays through Wednesdays and can even stay all day if needed. When staying at your home, I always make sure to never leave pets unattended for long periods of time, always keep them leashed while on walks, will send updates and often as possible, and carefully follow all instructions including feeding or medication instructions. I will also treat your home with the most care, and make sure everything is kept clean and secure.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a college student who works part-time, and pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available Wednesday through Sunday and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine are something I genuinely look forward to. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have had a dog since I was born. I started caring for my dog by the age of five. Then, I did overnights with a diabetic dog, with whom I had to administer medicine. Now, I have two dogs of my own who are very special. I currently work from home, so pet care fits in seamlessly with my routine. I also have a fenced-in yard, so potty breaks can be taken frequently. I am very attentive with care for pets in my home, and I’m my clients home. I always ensure there is fresh food and water. I make sure they have toys or chew toys to keep them occupied. I am always available to take time to play, and go on potty breaks.
About: Very well, experienced in dog training techniques, pet store etiquette, a variety of small pet needs, as well as, infant, elderly & service animal special care. I’m an early riser with a balanced indoor/ outdoor schedule- perfect for animal health. Mornings & afternoon exercise play a large part in my active lifestyle here, too! This property also sits across the street from several beautiful trails that I explore frequently, though, our personal wooded acreage is welcomed to furry guests, too. We have two cats that are very friendly & open to other company, though can easily be separated depending on your personal needs. We also offer spare rooms to customize for their temporary stay. Wind-down times are in place before bedtimes, though there’s rarely been an animal that wasn’t exhausted after a good day here!
“Elizabeth was amazing! She sent updates daily including images of our pests. We could tell they were bonding and being well taken care of. It was nice to come home to happy pets and our house as we left it.”
“We have never left Rumba alone overnight with anyone else before, so it was a breath of fresh air seeing that he did amazing with McKenna and we were able to go out of town! They got along perfectly and will definitely be asking her to hang out with Rumba again! 🐾”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bella Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bella Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
