About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a lot of my life my own, relatives and neighbors! I love animals and think they need a lot of attention and care! I help care for two dogs everyday, a German Shepard and a Dashund! I love them a lot and love taking them on walks and runs. I can take them on walks, feed them, play with them and spend a lot of time playing with them and giving them the attention they need.
“Julie did so good with our three fur babies! We had a bad Rover experience in the past and we were hesitant to try again but she made all our worries go away. She sent updates with the cutest pictures and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I absolutely love dogs. I’ve had my dog, Simba, since a puppy & we’ve basically grown up together. I’m happy to provide boarding and sima will love having a buddy to play with. I only take one boarder at a time, so they will get loads of attention and play time. I also do drop-ins and walks. Simba and I are both patient with puppies as well, I know puppyhood can be a challenge! Will provide lots a pictures, videos & FaceTime check-ins as requested! Boarding is limited to weekends mostly as I work full-time and want to be sure your doggo is getting all my attention, but I can make arrangements to work from home on a case by case basis for longer stays. I am flexible for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and on the weekends! I have a large fenced yard and Simba loves to play! I also live near a few walking trails that will surely wear them out. Will provide lots a pictures, videos & FaceTime check-ins as requested!
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am currently in school still but get out early.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years, and it honestly never feels like “work” — it feels like hanging out with the cutest little personalities on the planet. I’ve looked after energetic pups, shy rescues, seniors who need a slower pace, and everything in between. I understand pet body language, I adapt to their vibe, and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company when they’re missing their humans, I match my energy to what your pet needs. My goal is always the same: keep your pet comfortable, calm, and cared for. Because I’m currently job hunting, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet. That means more availability for drop-ins, flexible scheduling, and longer, more relaxed walks or hangouts if your pet needs extra attention. Your pet will never feel rushed — they get my full time, full presence, and full patience. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority. I take a very intentional, calm approach to care so your pet always feels secure and protected. I pay attention to the details — locked gates, secure leashes, clean water, correct feeding times, and any specific instructions you share. Trust matters, and I work to earn it with both you and your pet.
About: Our dogs are not animals or pets, they are our babies. We have a small family, husband and myself, our 7 treat old son and 6 fur babies, a female black lab, Skya, 2 male French bulldogs, Boomerang & Rocky, and 3 female frenchies, Nova, Khaleesi & Charlie. We love to give attention, play ball and ensure the dogs we are sitting feel at home with us. I am a former Vet tech with great experience pet sitting. Think Reliable. We are dependable, compassionate, and professional. Think Nurturing. It will be like you never left: Home pet sitting and dog walking visits according to your pet’s own schedule and your instructions. We truly love animals and provide hands on attention and quality care. Simply put, your pet will be given the care it wants and needs. Do you have a cat that wants to play with the kitchen faucet or a dog that needs the ball thrown in the back yard? Yes, we do that! In-home care, feeding, play and cleanup for dogs, cats and critters. Dog walking and play exercises. Love and companionship for your friends when you can’t be there. Whether your plans take you away for a weekend getaway, a week of meetings and sales calls, or an extended vacation, take along peace of mind and reassurance in the knowledge that your pets are in the very best of hands with our family! Potty & Play Break, Overnight Sleepover. Doggy Daycare, or Dog Walking sessions, we've got you! Flexible schedule available for pet sitting services. I'm happy to provide loving care to your fur babies while you're away, ensuring their comfort and happiness in the comfort of their own home. As a responsible and animal-loving individual, I understand the importance of leaving your fur babies in good hands. You can trust me to provide top-notch care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I'll treat your pets like my own, showering them with love, attention, and playtime. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure your pets feel happy and relaxed.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special routines or medication needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication—treating every pet and home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining feeding/walking schedules, and providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of care needs, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I do my best to keep a consistent routine for each pet and plan my schedule around their needs. I appreciate as much notice as possible for bookings, but I can occasionally accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs before care begins. I maintain a clean, secure environment, keep doors and gates monitored, and always use leashes as appropriate during walks. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will communicate immediately if anything seems off. You can expect consistent updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.
About: I have worked closely with foster and rescue dogs for the last 7 years so I am very experienced when it comes to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own that are my pride and joy so I know how important it is to have someone you trust be able to take care of your pet. I promise to make sure your fur baby is loved, exercised, fed and watered while in my care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Benton. 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 Benton 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 Benton 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 Benton 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.
