“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.”
About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!
“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.”
“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Rachel was prompt & sent lots of photos of my pups smiling, which eased my mind, while she dog sat/house sat for us. When we got home, our doggies did not climb all over us, (which is rare) which makes me feel like they must have had lots of love & attention while we were away. We will definitely rebook with Rachel!”
About: I worked at a dog kennel and cattery for a couple of years and loved every minute of it! I worked with dogs and cats of all breeds, temperaments, and ages! I am a remote graphic designer who would love nothing more than to fill my time taking care of your animals. My week is so open and available! I am very flexible and can work with any schedule. My home isn’t available for pets, but I’d love to work with your schedule and their schedule! It’s easy for animals to get stressed out when they’re not in their environment. I’d would love making them feel comfortable and accommodate to your animals schedule!
About: Hi, I’m Arlet. Im 31 years old. Right after high school I went to study to be a Vet Assistant at Petra Allied Health! I have worked at St Francis animal hospital twice & Southwest Pet hospital. To pass my course I had to do some training at Lyons Vet. I have been an animal lover since I was in diapers! My mom always knew I’d grow up to do something with animals. My love for them is like no other. I really just wanna cuddle them and love on them. Animals warm my heart. I would love to meet y’all & spend some time with your fur babies. I’m doing this full time so I’m very flexible.I can walk, feed, clip nails, bath, give meds…Also I made this page back in 2019 and then I just never got back in. so its been inactive for years till now… also, I lost my soul fur baby January of 2026 to a tumor & it absolutely broke me… He was in my life for 13 years… it doesn’t get easier but I am now ready to love on other animals. It’s healing to me. Thank yoooouuu my baby dozer is human to me lol. he sleeps with me, I feed him, take Him outside, come home for lunch to walk him, walk him after work too. let him play outside for about 1-2 hours so when he comes back inside he is tired and its time for us to sleep. he is potty trained so he usually just lets me know when he wants to go outside and I let him. very chill baby. I feed mine, clean, bath, trim nails, walks. basically whatever my dog needs he gets. Very well trained too. I can go to your fur babies.
About: Hi! My name is Kerys and i'm a 21 years old! I have been pet sitting for years and would love to care for your furry friends! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! I'm currently a stay at home wife, and my husband works out of town. So my schedule is pretty flexible and I can be there whenever you need me to be! The services I offer provide comfort to your pets. I can stay in your home, so they don't have to be out of their normal environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 317 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crosses. 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 Crosses 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 Crosses 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 Crosses 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.
