“Ella was great! Our pups were happy to have her, and she followed all instructions left. She even taught Waffles a new trick! Would be happy to have her sit for us again, or recommend her to anyone we know!”
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.
“Simone was absolutely amazing, she watched our dogs and our house all while we were away on a 2 week cruise. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and lovings while we were away. She pays attention to detail and made sure our dogs didn’t have any allergies towards foods, medicines needed and really cared for our dogs and home like it was her own. You seriously need her in your life! She’s an amazingly sweet and communicates with you and your family. We will be repeat customers and our baby dogs will be so happy to have Simone back! Thank you so much Simone for being such a light!”
“Lauren was great! She stayed with our boy for 5 days while we were in Florida. We recieved tons of photos and updates about his eating habits. She took him on walks and gave him lots of love. Charlie can be a handful sometimes and we are so happy that we chose lauren and came home to a happy and healthy boy.”
“Sherri was amazing! Super trustworthy and kind. Sent pics and kept us updated on Bebop while we were out. Bebop was sad when Sherri left! 100% would use her again! Thank you Sherri!”
“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!”
“Hailey did an amazing job with our pets. She came to my house beforehand so that we could meet her in person. She sent pictures every day . Our pets seemed happy and everything was great when we returned. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since early childhood, and I now own a cat! I have taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors needing daily medicine. I have been trusted with the pets of my friends, family members, and family friends. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter as well! I have such a big heart for dogs of all ages and breeds! I am currently a full time cosmetology student on campus 8 hours a day Monday-Friday. Unfortunately, I am very limited on time during the weekdays, however, I am super flexible Saturdays and Sundays! I am unable to watch pets in my home due to my lease. However, I am willing to travel to yours! If special instructions are needed for your pet, please let me know! I can cage/kennel the dog(s) if needed!
“We cannot recommend Londyn highly enough! She stayed at our home over a long weekend to care for our dog, Brontë, and our cat, Tig, and did an outstanding job. It was clear from the moment we returned that both pets had been well cared for, happy, relaxed, and given plenty of attention and affection while we were away. Londyn also took excellent care of our home, leaving everything spotless and in excellent condition. Knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. We were so impressed with the care she provided that we have already booked her again for a future trip. We would not hesitate to recommend Londyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter.”
“Ashley is excellent!! She is so flexible and willing to go above and beyond to help. I can’t recommend her enough. I am so glad I found her and will continue to use her for all my sitter needs.”
“This is the only time I've had Maria dogsit for me since she signed up for Rover, but it's far from the only time it's happened outside of the app. She's a good friend of mine who always treats Sophie well, just as she does with her own pets and all the other animals she's been around. Highly recommend. :)”
“Great experience. Jean came over a few weeks ahead for a meet and greet, communicated with me on everything, and was very easy to work with. The dogs were happy and got to stay home. Jean stayed at my house, took good care of the dogs, sent me updates and pictures, and even left a plate of fresh cookies.”
About: I’ve taken care of Dogs,Cats, and small animals for as long as I can remember. Making sure every animal is treated with the love and care they deserve is my goal!

About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m available almost every day with a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Happy to work around your preferred drop-off, pick-up, walking, or sitting times. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a caring, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention and supervision.
“Elijah did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away for over two weeks. He took the time to meet our pets beforehand, which made us feel comfortable leaving them in his care. Throughout our trip, he sent regular pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind. His schedule required a little flexibility on a few days, but he communicated well, and it had no impact on our pets' care. We came home to happy, healthy animals and had no issues with our home. We really appreciate the care Elijah provided and will definitely be using him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kristen is awesome with my high energy pups! She followed my directions to a T and is so great about fitting in visits and overnight stays into her schedule. She’s my go to sitter in NWA! Thanks for the great work Kristen. The girls look forward to seeing you again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bentonville
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Bentonville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
