About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat that I’ve been taking care of since I was little. I’ve also been volunteering at an animal shelter for the last 3 years to help care for and socialize dogs and cats of all ages and sizes! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas, so I have plenty of time between classes for check ins, house sitting, and walks for your pet! Unfortunately my apartment doesn’t allow animals but I am able to take care of pets in your home. I’m willing to stay overnight or stop by a few times a day to give your pets some company or to play with them outside! I love hiking and going for walks around this area so I would love to be able to bring your dogs or cats along!

About: I’ve never not had a dog growing up, I consider them some of my best friends. I am also the go to person when a loved one needs a petsitter, so I know how to care for all ages and sizes. I am able to feed, administer medication, walk, bathe, play with, and snuggle your sweet baby. I am very enthusiastic about animals and providing admirable service is my passion! I recently spent 6 months working at a companion animal vet clinic, as a kennel technician. I gained professional experience with specialized care and am able to execute any specific routines your animals requested. I also volunteer weekly to train future service dogs at a campus club and have been doing so for 8+ months now! Because of this I am equipped with patience and comfortability around young dogs who are still learning their way around. As a college student I have a set class schedule. I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays anytime before 10am and evenings after 3pm. As for Tuesdays and Thursdays anytime after 10am. Anytime after that I usually spend my time studying, at campus clubs, and filling my free time to hang out with animals! Because of this I am very excited to work with you to take care of your babies! I am flexible and confident that I will be able to meet your needs!! I currently live at an apartment with 3 other roommates, so I am not available for boarding. However, I am available for drop-in care and walks! I will be very mindful of your space and love nothing more than to assure you and your pet are comfortable & taken care of! I am able to accomplish any routines or special care that may be needed!!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the hands-on experience I have gained caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have several years of dog-sitting experience and have cared for over 10 families, including one family for more than three years and still am a recurring sitter. I even started dog sitting before I could drive with my grandparents 10+ different pets, along with my other families 2 Giant Schnauzers and 2 cats. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, medication, accidents, bedtime routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and playtime. I have dealt with a seizure prone dog with 7 different types of meds day and night with scheduled times. I also worked at an animal clinic and currently have experience working around large groups of dogs. Through these experiences, I have learned how to recognize body language, understand individual triggers, and safely handle different situations. I have also worked alongside veterinary professionals, which has taught me more about responsible animal care. Most importantly, I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have become very close with all of the dogs and animals I have pet sit for but also the owners. As a first-year college student, my schedule changes throughout the week, but I have plenty of availability around my classes. I have my own car, so I can easily travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I am generally available after my afternoon classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I also have flexibility between classes on some days and can work around my sorority commitments with advance notice. I am happy to care for pets in their home, where they are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I always follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime. I also absolutely love cuddling with dogs and, if the owner is comfortable with it, I am more than happy to let them sleep with me, no matter their size! I take time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and triggers so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.

“Carlie is AWESOME, I would highly recommend her! She will go above and beyond for your pets. Carlie checked in on our kittens while we were on vacation and not only did a great job taking care of and playing with them, her updates and photos made us feel confident they were doing okay without us. She went above and beyond: not only cleaning their litter boxes but cleaning up litter that had spilled out of them and even fixing our small Christmas tree when the cats knocked it over. She even went back one time after she had already checked in on them because I was concerned by one of the photos that maybe a cats collar was too tight.”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs for all of my life until very recently! I’ve cared for a senior dog, a service dog, and an active german shepherd / labrador mix who can walk for hours!!! I am genuinely always looking to hang out and care for other’s dogs as I know how much MY dogs love attention, love, and care :) My apartment is a one bedroom apartment but I have boarded other dogs there before, my home is their home!!! As long as you are comfortable, we can play at the park and go for as many walks as the dog cares to! (Natural home, no crazy toxins that’ll harm sweet dogs!) I am an avid volunteer and 16 hour student but my schedule is Tu&Thrusday for school; which leaves more than enough time for your sweet dogs! Even on those days, I am usually home around 6PM or even sooner! Single bedroom apartment, reliable car, CLEAN home! For my family it is important for our dogs to be in a calm, relaxing, and nurturing environment that encourages play. Now that I live on my own, my apartment is exactly that!!!! If there are any preferences for your dogs, let me know so I can make them feel at home! (Perks of me living alone : they can roam the entire apartment, dogs get dibs to lay on ALL the soft furniture, and no extra people that YOU don’t approve to be around your dog!)

About: I’ve dog sat since I was 14. From family to friends to coworkers, I’ve cared for many local fur babies! I also have 3 doggos myself, so I’m very familiar with the their needs. I’m a nursing student at the university of Arkansas and I also have a small part-time job. My schedule has many gaps throughout the day that would be perfect for a drop in visit or a walk! I have a college house with 2 of the sweetest roomates who also love animals, so we would love to give your pet love! I also have pets of my own so I am well versed in how to safely care for them.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life and are truly family to me. I was raised with the mindset that dogs need daily exercise, attention, and care. I understand how important walks and time outside are for a dog’s physical and mental wellbeing. I had a Collie who was part of my family for 16 years, and she was the happiest dog. I currently have a half Husky, half German Shepherd puppy, so I’ve also gained experience with a very energetic and curious young dog. I’ve been actively working on his training and have become comfortable with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Throughout my life, I’ve also cared for, walked, and dog-sat multiple types and breeds of dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I’m comfortable adapting my approach to make each dog feel safe and comfortable. I understand that life can get busy and that sometimes you can’t be there for your pet as much as you’d like. I’d love to be someone you can trust to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away or busy. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family! 🐾 I’m currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I plan my pet-care availability around my classes and other school responsibilities, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m mainly available in the afternoons and early evenings, and I’m happy to work with owners to find a time that fits both of our schedules. 🐾 I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and have fun while they’re with me! I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure I understand their pet’s routine, personality, habits, and individual needs. Safety is a priority for me, especially during walks and outdoor activities. I’ll keep a close eye on the pet and their surroundings, use the appropriate leash or equipment, and make sure they stay secure throughout our time together. I’ll also be mindful of things like other dogs, traffic, weather, and anything else that could make the environment unsafe. For drop-in visits, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pet has what they need, follow their usual routine as closely as possible, and keep doors, gates, and other areas secure. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away. I want pets to enjoy their time with me, too! I’d be more than happy to run, play fetch, or play with an energetic pup. At the same time, I’m just as happy to take a quiet walk with plenty of rest breaks for a dog who prefers a slower pace. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy. And honestly, if your pet is having fun, I probably will be too! 🐾

I'm currently in school but I have very open availability and am super flexible! I would be able to check on your dog and spend time with them multiples times a day! I cannot keep dogs in my home so I can only do drops in at other houses. But, I can check on them many times a day!

About: I have my own dog here at school, and shower her with love and care all day long! I absolutely love animals and have been around many different kinds since I was little. I will treat your pets like my own. I have one class a day, other than that I am free and will happily go on constant walks! I only have one class every day, so I will be very available. I’m an early riser naturally and very active so I’d love to add another dog into the mix. I live near Fayetteville square and many trails that I can take your animals walking on! I will send you photo updates too because I know they’ll be missed🥰

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, my dad was a professional dog trainer growing up and my family loves every type of animal! I will be active with your pet babies, and am looking forward to meeting them and maybe even meeting new pet friends for my animals! I am happy to board your dog(s) on the week days if needed, but I do work from 8 - 3:15 Monday through Friday, so on weekdays they would get a break in the morning before work, sometime between 11 and 12, and then when we get home around 4 pm. The weekends and most holidays are an open schedule! If your pet stays in my home they will be treated like my own, so like a spoiled king or queen lol. We are not weird about them on the furniture, cuddling on the couch or bed during a movie is encouraged!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. Taking care of them has been one of the greatest privileges I’ve had. I am always helping out and trying to train them! I also love taking care of my friend's pets as well. My dog is currently 11, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs as well. I have a part time job, so I have a lot of free time! I usually have mornings, afternoons, and evenings where I can work around my schedule. I have a very safe environment for my pets at home. I am able to follow any instructions or special accommodations your pets may need! I am willing to walk, play, feed, and give your pets all the love and care they want and need!

About: I have raised and trained my own family dog since I was 11. Neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me to look after and care for their pets of all sizes (cats and dogs). I fostered a 2 year old dog for a few weeks until she got adopted. I am a HUGEEE dog lover of all breeds, sizes (grew up with an 80 lb pitbull lab mix), and ages. I’m currently a college student athlete at the University of Arkansas so I am usually busy during weekday mornings, but have a lot of free time in the afternoons. I usually go on walks in the afternoon/evening anyways, so why not take a dog on my walk! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised at all times, and make sure they are in a safe and secure environment during walks. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs, communicate with owners about how their pet is doing, and treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.

About: Hey! My name is Camilla, I go by Rosie. I am a big animal lover! I am a sophomore in college and would love to take care of your fur baby! Growing up I have always had either a cat or a dog in my home. I currently have two dogs (Martha and Augie) and one cat (Sirius Black). In the past and currently I have helped pet sit for friends, family members and those in my community! Because of my past of having both cats and dogs I have prior knowledge on both species and how to take care of them. I have worked with dogs that can be a bit territorial and cats that seem a bit defensive when it comes to new people, from those experiences I have learned how to handle situations in a manner that relieve the stress of both the animal and care taker. My dog Augie is young and I have taught him all of his commands in French! My other dog Martha is older in age, from watching her grow in age since being a puppy I have learned the behaviors of older dogs and how to take care of their needs so they feel comfortable. I have given medication to dogs and cats before and understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. I am sophomore in college and currently not working a full time job. Which gives me free time to be able to help take care of your fur babies! My availability can be flexible and I can be available during the day or evenings for both weekdays and weekends. Times may vary, Monday mostly during the day and evening but I will be able to check in on both cats and dogs twice a day at least. More if needed. Would love to discuss more information if needed. I can assure you that your home will be treated with the most up respect and cleanliness. When checking in on your pet I will make sure that they will have clean water and food. If they make a mess or have an accident I will clean it up and make sure they are left in a clean environment. With the knowledge of taking care of dogs and cats in the past I understand the seriousness of making sure nothing is in reach of them getting into something they shouldn’t.

Britton took such wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town for a long weekend! It was her first time staying home without us, so we were a little nervous. He came three times a day to check on her, feed her, take her for walks, and give her plenty of love and attention. Knowing she was so well cared for gave us peace of mind, and we came home to a happy pup! We highly recommend Britton and will definitely be reaching out to him again.

Katelyn is very responsible and attentive. She noticed that we had left a knob turned on our stove emitting a gas odor. She turned it off and aired out the house and of course made sure our Ozzie was okay. She contacted me as soon as she arrived at our house and made sure everything was safe before she left. We are SO grateful to her.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Fayette Junction

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
