About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule looking to fill my time doing something I love! My family and friends have looked to me for pet care, like walking dogs, letting them out, feeding them, and pet-sitting over night. I am currently working part-time in school and have wide, flexible availability. Whether it’s pet sitting for multiple days or a quick walk, let me know when you need me and I’m there! I offer care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets feel the most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and ensure a clean and friendly environment!
“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!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have almost always lived in a home with three or more at a time, so caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, larger breeds, feeding schedules, walks, medications, basic grooming, and maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home. Having a multi-dog household has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog individually—reading their body language, managing introductions, giving them space when needed, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a boarding facility. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. I’m currently able to offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m home frequently, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule. I have a dog-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, I take introductions seriously and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language. Dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I’m happy to follow any routines or boundaries you use at home. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of individual attention.
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Candice was such a blessing! Our dates were on short notice and she made the effort to do our meet and greet same day as the booking! We have a new puppy and another dog with separation anxiety, and Candice was able to stay at our home for the weekend to care for them! She sent videos and pictures every day and you could see how much happier they were being in their own home with someone to care for them versus a strange kennel. I would definitely recommend Candice and will be keeping her as my pet sitter moving forward!”
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
About: I have yet to meet a pet I dont like! I have two cats and a senior dog. They are my world! Animals of all shapes and sizes are my passion and I love to learn about them all! Even the scaley ones! 🦎 I get to choose my own schedule so I can spend plenty of time with your pets! I travel all around north west Arkansas! Dog walking overnight sitting you name it! I am good at following directions and will take the best care of your babies with plenty of updates and pictures. I love notes and I treat all babies like my own, with love and respect.
“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.”
“She took care of our pets very well, and sent pics everyday! For the most part I was able to relax and enjoy the trip, and when I did get anxious (pet parent 😅) she was always very quick to respond!”
“Deseray took excellent care of our three dogs. She communicated every day and followed directions well. My house was clean and plants tended as well. I would book Deseray again. 😊”
“Rachel was so great with Milli. Milli needs lots of attention and can’t really be left alone. Rachel was very attentive to those specific needs. She was fast to respond when I was in a pinch and needed someone immediately. Rachel also was very communicative and shared lots of pictures of Milli, so I knew she was safe.”
About: I've taken care of dogs in the past. I also have a dog of my own (couscous) and she my world. I love furry babies. I originally created this account in 2019 but wasn’t active due to school commitments. My schedule is now more flexible — I’m available Tuesday through Friday, as I work weekends as a CNA. I’m hoping to begin working with Rover during my free time. I have experience caring for my own dog, Couscous, and I’d love the opportunity to support other pet owners as well If my client has a fenced yard ill make sure to play with them outside. Take them out for walks and make sure to read the instructions that are left for me to do.
About: I have had several animals growing up so I am familiar with taking care of animals. I cannot have animals where I live, so I pet sit a lot for my friends and family. I have taken care of animals of all ages and I can read their body language pretty well. I am a house cleaner and work Monday-Friday, but my hours vary depending on the cleans for the day. I may go into work later in the day or get off earlier, so I’m pretty flexible. During the weekends I don’t usually do anything so I would be available all weekend. I can care for your pets in home. I understand and can perform specific duties based on the instructions left for their care. I am experienced in giving animals medication and crating them if necessary.
About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Ingrid, your go-to dog sitter, walker, and drop-in buddy based in Siloam Springs. I'm a lifelong animal lover and an experienced pet caretaker, and I can't wait to meet your furry friends to ensure they have a tail-wagging good time! 😊 Services I Offer: • Dog Sitting: Whether you're away for a night or a week, rest assured your pup will be in a safe, loving environment with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention. • Dog Walking: Regular exercise is key to a happy and healthy dog. I'll make sure your pup gets the fresh air and exercise they need! • Dog Drop-Ins: Need someone to check in on your pet during the day? I'll stop by, feed, play, and give your dog some company while you're away. What You Can Expect: • Professional Care: Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I'm experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, providing compassionate, responsible care at all times. • Fun and Engagement: From playing with their favorite toys to indoor fun, your dog will have a blast with me. I love finding new ways to keep them entertained and happy! • Reliability: If I say I'll be there, you can count on me. I understand how important it is to stick to a schedule for both you and your pet. • Detailed Updates: You'll get photos and messages after each visit or walk, so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing! A Little About Me: I've been wagging tails and giving belly rubs since I was a kid – dogs have always been a part of my life! With over 20 years of experience, taking care of dogs feels like second nature to me. I currently have two adorable 10-year-old Miniature Schnauzers and a spunky 5-year-old Pitbull who are my constant companions on all my adventures. You know, my friends call me the "Crazy Dog Lady," and I wear that title with pride! Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I genuinely love being around them! If I see a dog out in public, I always walk up to the owner and ask if I can pet their puppy (yes, I'm that person! 😊). I'm super passionate about this work because I know how tough it can be to find someone you trust to care for your pets as well as you do. I know no one will provide better care for your fur babies as you would, but I can promise to give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I'll do my absolute best to make sure they feel like the top dog in my care! When I’m not busy playing with pups, I enjoy hiking, exploring the great outdoors, and learning about animal behavior. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. 😊 Contact: Send me a message through Rover, and let's set up a time to discuss your pet’s needs! 😊

“Tyler is reliable & trustworthy! Would recommend for every one, great job of watching our dogs. They were well loved and cared for. The house was in perfect shape, as well, upon returning home. Communication was 10/10 leading up to & during our vacation. Really was a huge relief to know our home & boys were receiving great care & attention.”
“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!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Cherokee City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 530 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cherokee City. 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 Cherokee City 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 Cherokee City 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 Cherokee City 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 Cherokee City. 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.
