“Tess is wonderful! She communicates well, is on time, and most importantly….George loves her. When she came for our meet and greet, he started to lean on her right away💕”
“Emily was great with my shy kitty! She was able to get him to come out of hiding and even give him some head and belly pets, which is rare for him. Great communication also. Highly recommend.”
“Katelyn arrived on time and communicated with us during her visit with Ozzie. He is diabetic and she gave him his insulin injection and other meds. She took really good care of him. We will definitely call on her again.”
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.
“McKenna was able to drop in for my puppos on a late request to save the day!! She was very quick with responses and punctual on visit. My boys were grateful for the fresh air and bathroom break as I was gone most of the day! Will continue to call on McKenna when needed! Thanks!!”
“Thank you, Anna for taking care of our Goldens! It was so nice coming home from our trip to happy dogs and clean floors. Our boys get nervous when they are left too long and they were not stressed at all when we returned. Thank you again!”
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! 🐾
“Aly has been amazing with my two pups Teddy and Blaze! They absolutely adore her, and she does a wonderful job of leaving me fantastic visit updates (I love all the photos mid day while I’m away at work). Aly has also been great and super understanding with a few last minute schedule changes on my end. She’s awesome, and so lucky my pups have her to take care of them and check in throughout the week. 🙂”
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.
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.
“Ashley was amazing with my senior cat, Clinton!! Extremely quick to respond to any communication and incredibly sweet with Clinton. She sent such cute pictures and a thorough update while I was away. Would 100% book with her again in the future!”
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.
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🥰
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Fayetteville is $18
Pet 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 !!
Laura was the best. I have a dog who has a lot of anxiety territorial issues. And is also very dog aggressive. Laura saw her for the sweetheart she really is and treated her as such. Really reduced my stress my traveling to know I had someone my dog trusted and enjoyed seeing taking care of her. Definitely going to be a repeat customer any time I need to travel.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
