“Emily was just wonderful! Our birds took to her right away. She provided excellent care, sent tons of pictures and communicated frequently. She was so attentive and caring, provided a lot of interaction and took care of them so well. They just loved her. We will definitely use Emily again!”

“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.”


About: Hey! I’m a Biology student at the University of Arkansas with a lifelong love for animals, wildlife, and the outdoors. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know them. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. Whether I’m spending the day with your pets or just checking in on them, my goal is to give them the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’m always happy to share pictures and updates, too! Above all, I want your pets to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 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: 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.
About: Growing up, there were always animals in the home that I would help take care of. We had 2 birds, 3 dogs (an old Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a young Golden Retriever), along with barn cats. I would help my aunt take care of them and was trusted to pet sit whenever she was out of town. Now that I have moved out, I have an adorable 2 year old cat of my own. For a summer break, I also worked at a pet store, caring for a variety of animals like hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, and birds. I am an engineering student and have an on-campus job, but I am very flexible in my availability! I can do most nights except Monday and Thursday, along with room for visits during the day. I have always had pets in my home and I love to spoil them! I will treat your pets with the same love, and your home with respect!

“We would recommend Alyson a million times over! Our kitties love her and she always makes sure to take care of everything they need and give us thorough and comforting reports (with all the photos) when we are away and missing/worried about our babies. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we need help!”


About: I have grown up in vet clinics, shelters, and surrounded by animals. I can take care of reptiles, rodents, insects, farm animals, and companion animals. I have access and close relationship with a veterinarian. I also have four dogs, three cats, tons of reptiles, and farm animals that I take care of. I’m currently a college student and I have a lot of free time so I will be able to care for your animals! My schedule is flexible for the most part and I have no other commitments like work. I will care for your animals like they are my own. I can follow step by step instructions or loosely written instructions. I am willing to clean up messes created by your pets.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands on experience in pet care. I currently have two cats, Bogey & Baby, and growing up, we had a dog, cats, turtles, and chickens. I’ve even helped care for llamas! I have experience administering medications including liquids, pills, and injections. I treat every pet like family and pride myself on providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. I know firsthand what it’s like to leave an animal home while you're away, so I’ll ensure they are comfortable and cared for in the best way possible. Whether that means playing with toys and going for walks, relaxing together, or giving them their space when they need it. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to house sit over long weekends and provide reliable drop in visits on those days and weekends as well. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I focus on consistent feeding schedules (if they are on one), medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and love to help pets feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
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! 🐾

“Ally did a great job taking care of our 3 cats over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative and made sure each cat was accounted for while we were away. We had no concerns. Would highly recommend her!”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing!! We had to push back our trip a few days and she was super flexible about it all! She made sure my little fur baby was well taken care of and loved while I was away. I got tons of pictures of him having a good time and getting and giving affection! I absolutely recommend Ashley for any of your animal needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, I love all animals and enjoy working with them alot. I feel comfortable working with young, old, big or small dogs and cats. I am reliable and will provide great care for your pets! Currently, caring for pets is my only focus right now during summer. Since I’m out of school I have a free schedule to care for your pets anytime! I have an elderly and cat friendly dog, and a small cat in my home, my home is fenced in when plenty of room for play.
About: I have a corgi, and have grown up with dogs my whole life! I love dog sitting, dog walking, and all of the above. Let me come pet your dog please!

I think it is so important that pets are nurtured as family, because they are after all! I want to spend time with your pets just as I do my own.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and have always enjoyed my time with them. I am happy to run with energetic dogs as I am a runner! I also find litter box scooping oddly satisfying… not sure what that says about me…. I’m currently working part-time, and am available MWF and weekends for walks/at-home visits. Weekends are best for overnight stays, unless it is a very hands-off cat as I am gone all day Tuesday/Thursday. I have a private “suite,” (second bedroom) where I keep cats. I will let friendly cats out to socialize with my kitty, Gus, but only under supervision! Otherwise, I check on food/water and offer playtime every few hours.

“Marilyn did a great job communicating ahead of time and during her visits. She sent lots of pictures of our cats, their food being filled, and their water running. This gave us peace of mind while we were away! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!”

About: Drawing from 10+ years of enriching experiences caring for the pets of friends, family, and coworkers alongside my own, I approach every furry companion with patience and individualized attention. Proficient in walking, bathing, and feeding routines, I adapt seamlessly to pets' needs, whether they require special care or enjoy a carefree romp. My dedication lies in ensuring each pet feels cherished and content, creating a loving environment just like home I currently work full time remotely/in-field I can care for your pets throughout the day with plenty of time to play and take them out for walks. If needed I can work from the family home to keep a closer eye on our little friends. I am available for overnight weekend stays at the family home if needed on select weekends. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize creating a familiar and comfortable environment for their furry companions. This involves adhering to established routines, maintaining a clean and safe space, and providing ample playtime and affection. I'm diligent about following specific feeding schedules, administering any required medications, and ensuring the overall well-being of the pet in their familiar surroundings. Communication with the client is key, as I keep them updated with regular reports/photos on their pet's activities, mood, and health, providing peace of mind while they're away
About: I have been raised with pets all my life, such as cats, dogs, birds, etc... I have helped my friends, families, and neighbors watch their cats and dogs with the care and love they need! I am currently a full-time college student, so I am more flexible on the weekends, but am also available on the week days at night. I'll make sure the pets are properly fed and taken outside at the appropriate times, same with being put in crates or given medicine if need be.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fayetteville
Caroline was so amazing with my cat Juno all weekend! They were always on time and responsive, sending the cutest pics of my baby and keeping her entertained. They helped me out last minute when I needed a sitter, and I appreciate them so much! Will definitely be reaching out again whenever I need someone to look after my cat!

Amazing! Left us detailed notes every day on how our babies were doing. Took really good care of them while we were away, and kept the house tidy while we were gone. Cynthia was also super flexible when our travel plans changed. I’d absolutely rebook her and I’d absolutely recommend her without hesitation.
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!

Amanda was so great with our kitty Butters when we needed a sitter after other plans fell through! She was quick to respond to my request, and she always sent great photos and updates on how he was doing at each visit. I couldn’t be happier with her excellent service and care for Butters! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook in the future. I felt so much better and less worried on my trip knowing Butters was in such good hands.

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 :)

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.

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 .
