“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!!”
“Graham is a life saver! He agreed to take care of our two dogs last minute for our week long vacation. Our dogs can be a little difficult to warm up to, but he was very patient and our dogs ended up loving him. He sent regular check-ins about our pups including pics and videos. We will definitely reach out again to Graham for walks and dog sitting again.”
About: At every party, I go find the fur baby to hang out with. I have experience training puppies (nothing formal), adopting skittish strays, and my last dog lived to be 16! There is no mess, behavior, or age I am unwilling to work with. If your animal needs space, exercise or cuddles, I am your girl. I am available all times, any day of the week. My work is mostly remote with my own laptop and I make my own hours. Each pet is unique and I will work with you to make sure I can care for them as respectfully as possible. I believe in boundaries and consent and that extends to your home and your animals.
“Jessi was wonderful! She responded to messages quickly. She was prompt when arriving. She interacted with Buddy immediately by petting and playing. She was thorough obtaining information about food and care. She sent pictures frequently. We were extremely happy to have Jessi stay with Buddy.”
“Donna did an absolutely amazing job! She was excellent to communicate with and we felt such at peace leaving our fur baby with her. We loved that she sent pictures throughout her stay! Absolutely would recommend and plan to use again!”
“Andru was amazing. He took fantastic care of my animals and kept me updated with pictures while we were away. Andru was clear in his communication, and seemed to genuinely love my animals, would definitely recommend and would love Andru to look after my animals again”
“We are incredibly grateful for Sherri! Our trip unexpectedly got prolonged due to weather conditions and she kindly stayed over with our dogs until we could get home. It was such a relief to have someone so thoughtful, kind, and dependable at our house taking care of our dogs. We will always book Ms. Sherri if she is available!”
“This is my second time booking Sarah for house/dog sitting, and she’s great! This time I asked on pretty short notice, and she was available and accommodating to my schedule. Will definitely book again :)”
“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”
“My dog loves Simone. She had a great time and is well cared for. My house is also in great condition when I return home. I couldn't be happier and look forward to traveling stress free whenever I need to.”
“My dog Alfie seemed to have a great time with Joshua! I hired him for in house sitting while on vacation and he was a phenomenal house guest, fantastic with Alfie, and did a wonderful job of sending updates/photos and accommodating any of my requests. 10/10 would recommend going forward.”
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, and for the last 7 years I've also owned and raised my own Cane Corso, so I'm very comfortable with large and strong breeds. I know how important routine, exercise, and patience are for a dog's wellbeing, and I treat every pet in my care like my own. I have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog attention and exercise. I'm generally available for walks/boarding/drop-ins on weekdays and weekends (at any time), and I try to keep a consistent routine so your pup feels comfortable and secure while in my care. I have a Cane Corso of my own who I've raised for 7 years, so I'm very experienced with large, strong breeds and know how to read their body language and keep introductions calm and safe. I always keep a close eye on pets in my care, stick to a consistent routine for feeding and walks, and make sure the environment is calm and secure so every dog feels comfortable and safe with me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bentonville
Rachel was the absolute BEST! I had no worries leaving Bentley with her. She provided updates on their fun walks and chills at home and when my flight got cancelled to get home, she was flexible to stay one more night with him. I cannot thank her enough for loving on my baby as much as she did and for being so kind! Will definitely use her again and highly recommend!
We had a few unexpected stressors come up during our trip, but worrying about our animals was absolutely not one of them—and that peace of mind meant everything. Jessica was professional, communicative, and consistently punctual throughout the entire stay. She clearly cared for our home and, most importantly, for our animals as if they were her own. One thing that really stood out was her thoughtfulness on our return day—she stayed a bit later to make sure our dogs weren’t kenneled for an extended period, which we truly appreciated. We will absolutely be rebooking with Jessica in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring house and pet sitter.
Josephine went above and beyond with Brook! I booked last minute due to issues with another sitter. She was responsive, responsive and my dog loved her! She communicated well and never gave me anything to worry about. I’ll deff be using her again! 10:10 recommend!
Kayla was professional, kind, and honest during her stay. She took great care of our three senior dogs and our new tree frog. We came back to a clean home and calm pets. During the week-long sitting, if there were any issues or questions that arose, she was quick to message with details and photos. I wouldn't hesitate to book Kayla again and highly recommend her services to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bentonville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 547 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bentonville. 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 Bentonville 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 Bentonville 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 Bentonville 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 with handling special pet needs in Bentonville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
