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.
“My pups were very well taken care of, Alex sent me pics of them fat and happy while we were away and our home was clean when we got home. Alex did an excellent job so we will be booking her again in the near future.”
“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 took great care of my dogs and house. She communicated well with us while we were gone. We were provided pictures of our furry babies. My dogs were happy and healthy when we got home.”
“My little chihuahua warmed up to Regena so quickly. She made him feel comfortable and cared for in his own home. She provided daily updates that I appreciated and put me at ease while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her.”
About: I've had the pleasure of working and taking care of many clients throughout the last decade and have loved every single one. I would love the chance to be able to take care of yours as well. I currently work at a grooming salon starting at 9am and work until about 3:30pm ( at the LATEST) Monday through Friday. I am willIing to work around schedules that you and you're family have. Since I am offering care at your home I can provide detailed emails, text messages, and pictures of your pet to make you feel at ease while you are away. If bathing and cleaning are needed I can also provide basic bathing as well as carpet cleaning if accidents happen.
“Grace did an excellent job. Took extra care leaving the house clean. Communication during the pet sit was great. Pictures shared and quick response to all Communication. We will use her services for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Corina was absolutely wonderful with my dog Cooper. She stayed at my house while I was out of town and it was actually cleaner when I got back than it was when I left! She took him for walks daily, played fetch and spoiled him with pup cups. She made my trip so stress-free I can’t thank her enough!”

About: Hi, I’m Ariyana! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised around both dogs and cats, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with pets of all ages. I enjoy working with puppies and kittens, helping reinforce good manners, basic obedience, potty training, leash skills, and positive routines. I understand that young pets require patience, consistency, and lots of encouragement, and I love being part of their learning process. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets. I’m comfortable with slower walks, administering medications (if needed), accommodating mobility limitations, following special feeding schedules, and giving older pets the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and one-on-one attention while you’re away. Communication is incredibly important to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I strive to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by being dependable, attentive, and treating every animal like family. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Although I work full-time, I make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s morning visits, evening care, overnight stays, or weekend availability, I’m committed to providing reliable, high-quality care. When your pet is with me, they’ll never feel like just another appointment—they’ll be treated like family. When caring for pets in your home, I know how important it is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care your pet needs. I also make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and tidy. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care while making your pet feel comfortable in the place they know best.
About: Hi my name is Abigail I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just a calm companion to keep them company, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I know how important it is to keep pets on a consistent schedule, and I’ll follow any feeding, medication, or exercise instructions carefully. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I’m comfortable providing walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. My priority is making sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for from the moment you leave until you return. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. I look forward to giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve! As a full-time employee, I understand the importance of planning and being reliable. My work schedule allows me to provide pet care before and after work on weekdays, as well as evenings, and I have greater flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s an early morning walk, an evening visit, or weekend care, I’m committed to being dependable and keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I have a fenced yard, and two other dogs who are able to keep you dog company, and i can crate them if needed, i live in a nice neighborhood for walks. I also live with my family so they will give lots of love as well.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young—I love critters of all kinds and I am willing to learn how to care for any animal who needs a companion. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rats, fish, you name it! I have owned pets of my own since I was about 10—fish, hamsters, cats, even ant colonies and pillbugs—and I began to petsit for neighbors as a teenager. I'm generally capable of regular house visits, keeping a punctual schedule, engaging in play & enrichment any way I can, bathing animals of any size, and adapting to the needs of any animal in my care. I am not able to consistently walk very high-energy dogs, but if you have an enclosed yard I'm more than happy to let your pet(s) get his or her energy out there. I'm great with low-energy animals who need a cuddle buddy or somebody to simply share a space with. I'm willing to do overnights, week+ long stays, and jobs with multiple pets. My schedule is very flexible to the needs of your pets, but I do have animals of my own to care for at home. I typically do not like to leave clients' pets alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the day, so you can expect regular visits within that time frame. I like to have lots of options for play & exercise with your pet. I don't take pets home, but I'm happy to supervise your pet in a fenced yard or a nearby park! I enjoy snuggles & handling small enclosure pets like rodents, and I'm willing to learn how to provide enrichment for any animal. I'm very strict about sticking to a feeding schedule, but I do like to give plenty of treats throughout the day if health allows. I try to keep clean as much as possible—bathing pets, regularly vacuuming/mopping, emptying litter, brushing fur and teeth, etc.
“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and two cats over the weekend. She came over multiple times to let my elderly dog out to prevent accidents, took her on walks, played with my kitties, watered my plants outside, and even picked up a new container of treats for my kitties since they were running out. Will definitely book again!”
“Jeanette did an outstanding job watching my dog Cooper. She always updated me if anything was out of the norm. Sent pics oh him as well.Highly recommend her to watch h your fur baby. I will be using her again in the future.”
“Laura is wonderful!! We feel so lucky to have found her, she has a very special way with animals, and ours loved her. Highly recommend Laura, and hope she will sit for us many times in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 127 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
