“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”
“Jackie is the absolute best dog sitter! He went above and beyond for our pet. Communication was excellent. He sent us photos and messages every day. He is a caring individual and has a great backyard for dogs. Will be using him again!”
About: I owned dogs for 11 years now. I always had 3-4 dogs at a time, ranging from husky, German shepherd, Maltese, poodle and French bulldog. Had cats, bearded dragon, and snakes. I am working part-time and trying to transition out of my current job and doing pet sitting full time, so I will dedicate all my time to pet care. I am an animal lover. Dogs cats reptiles, always treated them with respect and will give lots of love! I will end up being one of their new favorite humans.
“Amber is our go to for pet sitting! She is always so accommodating for drop off/pick up and never fails to give us updates on our pup while we are gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Christina was very flexible with my constantly changing scheduled. She was very professional and has an expert level of knowledge when it comes to dogs and dog training. I would suggest her to all my closest friends. She was great ! I will most definitely book her in the future , If I could give more stars I would !”
“Joanne was the best!!! This is the first time leaving our pup with anyone and the experience was wonderful. Joanne took great care of Toby, sent photos and videos daily and even gave him a bath!!! We couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Joanne.”

“Madi was incredible! She took great care of our pups and sent plenty of updates and pictures. So many times when you return home from a trip your pups are just reserved. Not with this experience, you could tell they were well cared for and had a great time. I would highly recommend Madi to anyone who is looking for quality care for your pups!”
“Christine immediately felt like family. My dogs were cared for, loved and pampered while in her care. I think they secretly would have loved to stay longer! Christine was welcoming and very accommodating. I appreciate her invitation to come visit before the first date of the booking, to get acquainted. My dogs showed no signs of anxiety or uncertainty when I dropped them off. I will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Courtney was a wonderful sitter for our dog! I think Flossie felt right at home and had plenty of space and time to run around and get her energy out and also snuggle.”
“Jacquelyn was AMAZING ! She was very commutative and always kept me updated. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving Dubai with her, definitely always booking with her !”
“Extremely pleased with Vanessa. Great communication and took great care of my dog who turned out to be more high maintenance than she was probably expecting (me as welll). She will definately be my first choice for future dog watching needs.”
“Karla was great! She did a great job watching Chance and everything went smoothly. It was easy to meet up with her to pick up and drop off Chance. She sent me updates and pictures of him while I was away. Overall, it was a good experience and I would definitely have Karla watch Chance again in the future!”
About: I’ve been professionally pet sitting for 8 years and have cared for animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, exotic birds, fish, and small animals so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and care needs. I currently offer: • Dog walks • Drop-in visits • Cat & small animal care • Daytime house sitting/check-ins • Select boarding • Medication administration • Feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and general pet care I’m especially good with anxious pets, senior pets, and animals who need a calm, patient approach. I understand how important consistency and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like family. I’m dependable, communicative, detail oriented, and always happy to send photos. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Bigelow can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bigelow home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bigelow.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bigelow. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Bigelow sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
