“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 took such good care of Ollie while we were away! She’s so sweet and kind, and Ollie loved her. She sent several photos and a video, which we loved! We will definitely rebook!”
“Leah did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She took great care of my home, keeping everything neat and tidy, and genuinely cared for my pups as if they were her own. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and kept me updated if anything was needed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Outstanding service! Jessica stayed over at our house for a little more than a week with our pup. She truly cares for animals and treated her very well and kept us updated along the way. She’s honestly the best sitter from Rover we’ve ever had. Will happily have her watch our angel again.”
“Haley was absolutely amazing with Kenny and Poopy! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of them. She kept us updated, gave them plenty of attention and love, and most importantly, gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in great hands while we were away. It’s obvious Haley genuinely loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. Kenny and Poopy were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Having someone you can truly trust with your dogs means everything, and Haley has definitely earned that trust with us. We will absolutely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and wonderful with your pets, Haley is the one. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! 🐾❤️”
“Emily was great! She stayed at our house with Luna for a week and we had regular photos and communication from her. No complaints whatsoever and we would definitely use her again!”
“Brittany was great! Our dogs were clearly well cared for and our house was in great shape when we returned. She was great at sharing updates and photos while we're away. Will definitely hire again!”
“Cookie (Cynthia) did an excellent job of pet sitting my two Australian Shepherds and cat. When I got home, they were calm meaning they got enough exercise. The house was as I left it, even all the dog toys picked up. She arrived promptly. After a few days, she texted me to say all's well which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and I will use her again!”
“Erika is phenomenal! We feel so lucky that she was willing to house sit & watch our 3 dogs. Between their struggle with potty training and their nervous personalities, they can be a handful - but Erika took it all in stride. She has a very calming personality and our dogs took to her much more quickly than they usually do with strangers. She kept us well updated with photos and notes, and left our house in excellent condition. We would absolutely recommend Erika’s services to others and hope she is available to watch our dogs again in the future.”

“Aubree was SO great with our doggies, Teddy and Millie! We made a last minute decision not to travel with our dogs and she was willing to come do a meet and greet and accepted the job very last minute, thankfully! She stayed at our home and made our sudden trip away for a family funeral much less stressful because we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have an older dog and a middle aged dog with potty issues, especially when routines change at home. Aubree was patient and willing to clean up after them and I’m so grateful for that extra work and effort. She also sent us pupdates while we were away and pictures! Her communication is always positive and reassuring, making it such a pleasure to know her and work with her! We’re already working on scheduling with her for another trip coming up!”

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!

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!

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 .
