“It’s always nerve-racking to leave your fur child with someone you don’t know. So I am THRILLED to have found Barnabas on Rover! He made the process so easy and put our minds at easy with daily photos and a video. We were able to do a meet and greet and my pups came back just as happy as the left. No built up energy, no scared reactions from yelling or hitting, no poor behavior. Just happy safe pups! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend letting your pet stay safe and sound here! We are rebooking both our dogs next month! Thank you for being trustworthy, respectful, and flexible with us and our pups. See you again soon!”
“Chuck took exceptional care of my dog, Ella. She is a senior dog with some recent health issues and he was so good with her..she requires medications and he made sure she got what she needed. She’s also not used to a lot of people other than family and hasn’t been boarded for several years so she was pretty whiny and clingy for the first few days but she settled in. I so appreciate his patience with her. I would 💯 recommend Chuck for pet sitting! Five stars!!”
“Everything went great! Xena was tired and ready to go home but a little reluctant to leave. I got consistent updates throughout her stay. She was treated as though she belonged to them. I will be booking again.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We were a little nervous leaving our rescue dog with someone new since she can be a bit shy, but Emily helped ease our nerves. Would definitely have our dogs stay with her again!”
“Christy was wonderful! Last minute plans fell through for my dog and I was able to book easily with her. This was my first time using this service and I was beyond thankful! Christy sent me pictures and videos daily of my little guy! I was able to relax and spend time away with family knowing he was being loved and having fun!”
“Meagen was great for our dog, Molly! She communicated very well. Took her on walks. Kept us updated throughout the stay. From past experiences with others, we were concerned as Molly has come back sick or skittish from others. This was not the case with Meagen. Molly was of course ready to come home, but we could tell she did very well”
“I am very happy with Laura!! I was so nervous to leave Percy with anyone outside of family, especially being that he has severe anxiety but Percy loved Laura and her family. I feel content that we found a permanent sitter for our fur baby. :)”
“Baxter had the best time!! Layne was so good about sending updates and pictures! Her and her family played with my pup all weekend long and made us feel so comfortable! I would definitely rebook!!”
“Marissa did a great job taking care of my dog, and was very easy to communicate with. She provided updates and went above and beyond to make my very nervous dog feel more comfortable. Her dogs are also very friendly and tried their hardest to be friends with my shy puppy. Maybe next time my dog will play with them.”
“Our 2 Doodles were comfortable around Tre and she was very loving towards them. She kept us updated with pictures during their stay. Tre was very easy to work with and we felt at peace leaving our babies with her.”
“Janet is a wonderful person and a great sitter. She responded instantly to our messages. Very responsible and reliable sitter. Will recommend booking her. Will definitely book her again.”
“She is a dog lover and kept me updated on how my yorkie was during the week. Including pictures. This made things easier for me since it was our first time using Rover. Would recommend.”
“We appreciate Courtney and Keith taking care of our pups while we were out of town for a couple weeks! Very responsive and sent pictures when requested. Will definitely be using them again for future needs!”
“Our experience with Christy was great!! She arranged for us to meet before our appointment and answered all my questions. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent updates and pictures. We had to change our time at one point and she was very flexible and understanding. Will definitely be booking with Christy again in the future!”
“Stephen and his family were fantastic. They gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our pet was being taken care of. I will always look to see if he is available next time we are looking for a dog sitter. Cannot recommend enough.”
“We left our Luna with Barbara for a week . Barbara sent us photos and updates every day . I appreciated that very much; Luna was well taken care of . I would highly recommend Barbara and she is very caring and very knowledgeable about our fur family . She also has her own 2 sweet dogs that were good company to Luna . Thank you Barbara .”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Brightwater home-away-from-home, 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 Brightwater.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Brightwater 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 , 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 .
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.
