“Rachel was a life saver and did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while we were away! She was so great with communication and even though our cats are skittish she was so sweet and patient with them. We highly recommend her and would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Emily is an excellent pet sitter. This was the third time she looked after our cats, and each experience has been outstanding. She is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. During our most recent trip, our cats created a few unexpected messes, and Emily handled everything with incredible patience and care. She went above and beyond to make sure both our cats and home were well taken care of. Knowing our cats were in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Katelyn stayed with our fur kids for over a week, and took great care of them and our house. She was responsive when I reached out to check in, and they all seem very happy. We will definitely look to use her again for our next trip!”
“Jocelyn was great with my kitties! It was nice having her help with the cats to give me peace of mind. She gave updates and was attentive to them. I definitely recommend her, and will use her again in the future!”
“Kayleigh took great care of my house and cats! She was quick to reply to texts, sent photos of the cats, and left my house in great condition. She picked up my booking at the last minute, and was a delight to work with. I fully recommend Kayleigh.”
“Cynthia was amazing with my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat was happy and comfortable when I got back, and it was clear Cynthia genuinely cared for him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Tess was amazing with our cat! She spent time with Mabel, gave her treats, fed her, and played with her when she stopped by. This was the first time Tess had sat for our cat, so I was happy when Mabel came right to her. We will definitely be using Tess again for our pet sitting needs. She also sent notes and lots of pictures!”
About: I am a pre-vet student at the U of A, and have taken care of a wide variety of pets, particularly big dogs! Cats and dogs are my absolute favorite things in the world, and I would love to provide the most genuine, affectionate care! I work as a kennel technician at a doggy daycare part-time while I am in school, and as a veterinary assistant at a mixed animal clinic when I am home! I have extensive experience in pet care including walking, feeding, bathing, administering medications, and so much more. Whether your dog is energetic and outgoing, or shy and skittish, I will be able to provide the care needed! I would love to spend genuine time with your pet! I am a full time college student, but my class schedule allows me to have time to work in pet drop ins and some afternoons for pet sitting! I also will have some weekends off for sitting then, too. I make sure to constantly update my calendar as my schedule is very flexible. Although I live in an apartment and cannot provide a space for sitting, I can easily sit in a clients home and make it more comfortable for the client and the pet. I am very flexible as far as what needs to be done for the care and safety of your pet, because I care just as much as you do! Like I mentioned before, I work in a vet clinic and am familiar with the cares and needs of dogs and cats.
“While I was out of town, Anna stayed with my cat at the house. With tornado sirens going off, she grabbed him and stayed in an interior closet until all was clear! Sincerely over and above! Thank you, Anna, for everything!”
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 was very satisfied with the level of care Siddha gave my kitty. She kept me informed of the physical aspects of his care and his level of sociability with her. I loved the pictures she sent. Siddha is a great cat sitter!”
“I had an amazing experience with Alyson! She’s wonderfully thoughtful and incredibly detailed in her notes about the care of your pet! I felt so comfortable leaving my boy with her while I was gone! 100/100!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care for years. Since age 16, I’ve also house sat for both dogs and cats following their usual routines, keeping their homes secure, and providing owners with updates. I’m extremely comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs! I will send lots of check in’s, pictures, and updates and follow the instructions exactly as you need me to. I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas, and my schedule allows time for pet care before and after classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I keep my availability updated and will only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates and photos throughout each visit.
About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently in college, so while I have a couple of busy days (Mon., Tue., Thur.,) the rest of my week is very free! And I always have plenty of time for sitting. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.
“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fayetteville
Emily was extremely communicative — she went above and beyond with what was asked of her and I was very grateful to have her taking care of my babies. She administered eyedrops like a champ (even to my difficult child) and spent extra time making sure they were comfortable and loved. Highly recommended.
Caroline was always on time while I was away and engaged with my cat every time they came by. All duties were taken care of regularly and I received the cutest pictures which made leaving my cat in someone’s care that much easier. 10/10 would recommend to any cat friends!! Amazing work ⚡️
Shannon is amazing!! She left detailed updates with photos. I forgot to leave my cat’s toys out, and she brought toys to play with my cat. My cat loved Shannon, and she allowed Shannon to brush her. I hate to say so many wonderful things about her for fear she will become overbooked, but she is the best !!
Tess was amazing with our cat! She spent time with Mabel, gave her treats, fed her, and played with her when she stopped by. This was the first time Tess had sat for our cat, so I was happy when Mabel came right to her. We will definitely be using Tess again for our pet sitting needs. She also sent notes and lots of pictures!
Wonderful sitter! Friendly, responsive, flexible, and thorough - 0 complaints and would absolutely use again. She’s shown much love to our 3 attention-needy cats in our absence and has been super flexible while we figure out the best visit plans. Sent some great pictures of their playtime that made my wife and I both very happy to know our babies are getting some love :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fayetteville on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
