“Tess has been phenomenal! She communicates extremely well about when she will arrive, takes great notes during the walks, and has been overall wonderful to work with. My pups have enjoyed their walks and I feel better knowing they are getting out of the house with someone I can trust. Recommend!”

About: I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and kitties! I cared for my family’s poodle from 2008 until his final years, and during that time, I made it my priority to give him a peaceful, joyful life—whether it was taking slow walks by the river or helping with his higher-maintenance needs as he aged. I’ve also provided care for my aunt’s elderly German Shorthaired Pointer while they traveled, and they’ve always appreciated the level of attention and compassion I brought to the role. I’m calm, patient, and committed to making pets of all ages feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m available weekdays during these times: Early mornings before 8 AM, 12–1 PM, and evenings. I have fully open availability during the weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, feedings, check-ins, or companionship during those hours. I’m also available on weekends for more flexible care when you’re away. I tailor my care based on each pet’s personality and needs. My own cat is a calm cuddlebug—I feed her twice a day and keep her litter box clean every other day. When I watch my boyfriend’s high-energy kitten, I make sure to keep him engaged with lots of play to help burn off that “pterodactyl phase” energy! For older dogs, I love being a calm and comforting companion. I’m great at sticking to their routine, letting them out regularly, and taking relaxed walks at their pace. Whether I’m caring for cats or dogs, I provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment they can feel comfortable in.
About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.
About: Having had dogs my whole life, they’ve always been my favorite animal and a huge part of my life. I love spending time with them and providing care, whether it’s offering companionship, administering medication, or comforting anxious pets. Pet walking and watching allows me to share my love for dogs while giving them the attention and care they deserve. Your pup will be in loving and experienced hands! I am currently only working part-time so I will have plenty of time to attend to your pups! I have a very nice free schedule. As a lifelong dog owner, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. In clients’ homes, I maintain their routine, ensure regular feeding, walks, playtime, and provide companionship. For walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and engagement, giving dogs the attention they need. Whether at home or on a walk, I treat every pet like my own!

“Caring and attentive to animal and people alike. Lauren helped me out in an emergency and dealt with my mom and dog with equal kindness. She went above and beyond to help out.”

About: My unique journey to NW Arkansas has provided me with strong foundational knowledge on animal welfare and safety, as well as an unparalleled perspective on pet wellbeing and happiness, ensuring both you and your fur-babies are satisfied with my service. ♥️😸 Relevent experience: - Pet owner for 15+ years (🐢,🐈⬛,🐈) - Kennel Attendent for 2 years - Veterinary Assistant for 1 year - Laboratory Researcher (using animal models) for 4 years - Keeper Aide (Small Mammal) at Smithsonian National Zoo for 2 years - Attended 1 year of Veterinary School (University of Pennsylvania 2018) - Previous Anatomy (laboratory dissections) and Ornithology (bird biology) instructor at UARK - Previous volunteer at Northsong Wild Bird Rehabilitation - Field Biologist and UARK Graduate Student for the past 6 years (Thesis on Eastern Bluebird ecology and wildlife conservation) Previously, I had successful stays with a variety of pets on Rover (big and small, young and old). While I am coming back to pet sitting with the app after several years of being inactive, I definitely look forward to starting anew and meeting new clients and their fur babies in NWA. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable administering medications and I would be happy to discuss any other exceptional and/or lingering requests you may have. Other than caring for my own pets and attending a lecture on Wednesday afternoons, I am free and flexible to care for your pets on your desired schedule. Depending on the client's home type, I will adjust each visit accordingly. With a fenced in yard, potty breaks will be a breeze and we may enjoy the spring weather with running around. Otherwise, I will quickly research a safe and reasonable walking path or find a local park to take your loved one(s). In the home, I assume the pet will have spots they find cozy and relaxing and I am more than happy/willing to 'go to them', giving them some love and attention in the areas they feel most comfortable.
About: I love dogs and cats! I’ve watched dogs since I was 14 and I’ve always had cats. I love all dogs and cats and I have experience with senior pets. Animals are truly one of the purest things in life and I love being with them and would love to watch your little babies! I work from home so I can work from your house if needed! I can be there almost all day if needed! Just let me know :) I haven’t watched a pet in my home since starting Rover but I would be more than happy to talk about this if you’d like me to.

About: I’m Caryssa and I have been pet-sitting for about 2 years now. I am looking to take on some new clients as I am going to be up in the Fayetteville/NWA area this summer. I have taken care of both dogs and cats, and have taken care of dogs that need medication given to them. While my current clientele is a small number I have always been asked to come back to take care of their babies! I make sure to check in with you and send pictures! I hope to make sure everyone that I sit for, feels that their animals are safe and loved while they are gone. I am currently looking to make this my part time job for the summer, and outside of one main vacation I have plenty of time to come and take care of your pet/s! I have had dogs growing up from little to big, and I currently have cats so I understand what is needed to take care of them. I also have taken care of dogs while pet sitting that need medication and I am able to do that efficiently.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my house. I have raised multiple dogs since they were puppies and I have taken care of elderly dogs on their last leg. I also had a cat at one time and have taken care of family’s cats and dogs I currently don’t have a job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am available on weekends and week days. I offer going to your house to take care of your pets. If your pet is skittish I will take my time with them so they will trust me.
About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.
About: Hey! My name is Rosie and I am a big animal lover! I am a freshman 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 freshman in college and currently not working a full time job or part time. 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 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. 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.

Sara saved the day when I contacted her last minute to walk my dog. My dog was happy to see me when I got home and he wasn’t stressed at all which he would have been had he not been walked because I work 12 hour shifts at the hospital. I will definitely use Sara again if the need arises!

Crystal was great from the very first meet and greet. She handled my pup’s first day nerves with so much patience, kindness, and genuine care, and quickly built a trust with her. On day one, Crystal spent 30 mins just helping my dog feel comfortable before even starting their walk. Her attentiveness and compassion are truly top notch, and I couldn’t say enough good things about her!
