“Teresa was amazing with our cat. She kept our baby busy and not bored, and sent thorough check ins every day. We came home to a happy, healthy cat who acts like she's been at summer camp all week. I would absolutely recommend Teresa and will definitely book her again when we travel!!”
“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💕”
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.
“Anna was very professional. She was also very patient as we originally had the wrong dates. She showed up on time for multiple appointments and we came back with all of our girls happy.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I couldn’t imagine not having a pet dog! They are such sweet creatures. I work very well with all dogs, and I will love on your babies as much as possible! I am a college student at the University of Arkansas. So after my classes I have plenty of time to play, walk, and stay with your pups! This is my part time job and I want to be able to help out as much as possible! Unfortunately right now I cannot watch any dogs in my home because I live in a dorm! But when I move into my apartment next year I would love to have them stay with me!
About: I’ve been petsitting through Rover and for friends/family for a long time! I’ve handled puppies/kittens, low and high maintenance animals, different types of living situations, and more! I am a volunteer at Best Friends Animal Society, and I’ve grown up around pets my entire life. Currently, I run a nonprofit that keeps me Wednesday-Sunday from 12-6, but I can always go and check on a pet if needed during that time! In my home, I am very open to just about anything the pet wants to do, such as laying with me in bed, going on drives, etc., and I always check with people before sitting to make sure I respect the rules they have for their pets.
“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!”
About: I’ve been helping care for dogs since I was about 13 years old. I grew up with four dogs ranging from a large Black Lab (my baby Roxy) to small terriers (my little rat dog peanut). I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’ve helped train dogs, walked dogs, and have pet sat for people outside of my family and friends. I also cared for dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years. I also have experience giving oral medication, including hiding medicine in treats when possible. I absolutely love animals and especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a full time college student, but I’m available after 2:30 PM every weekday. I’m also available most of the weekend, except Sundays from 9 AM to 12 PM. My schedule works well for afternoon and evening walks, drop ins, playtime, and house sitting. I also have my own car, which makes it easy for me to travel to your home and keep up with your pet’s normal routine. Safety, trust & environment: I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person taking care of your pet. Since I offer care in your home, I will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other needs your pet may have. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with respect and give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away.
About: I have always grown up with a variety of pets. Whether is a fish, dog, snake, or turtle. There were at least 2 dogs in my house at all times. My family is for sure a dog family in which it inspired me at one point to look to become a vet since I love animals so much. I am the type to stop someone in the street just to pet their dog because it makes me so happy! I’m a full time college student that is in a sorority. Pet care fits into my early mornings or later afternoon! Weekends are also flexible. I will make sure requirements are up to par! If there’s medications, certain foods, eating times, potty breaks, all will be checked off! And of course, spending time and playing will be a no brainer.
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: Growing up, there has never been a point in time where I haven’t been taking care of a pet! Every animal that I take care of, I treat as my own and provide the best of service. I have a lot of experience caring for sensitive and elderly dogs. I also know how to wear out the energetic ones and have them tuckered out by the time you see them! It is my job to make sure that my visit is as pleasant as possible for you and your fur baby! No matter my schedule, I always make time to visit on my clients! I am currently working part time but that won’t stop me from giving your pet all the attention they need! I understand it can be pretty nerve racking to leave your beloved pet in the hands of another. It is of the utmost importance that I create a safe space for both you and your fur baby. A usual thing I enjoy doing throughout the visit is sending you pictures of your pet so that you can feel relieved that they are receiving the best care possible! If I am hired to housesit, I will do my very best to leave everything clean and better than I found it. I have plenty of experience with overnight stays so there is no need to worry if your pet needs nightly or morning meds, I can easily administer them!
“Joy is a joy to have as a pet sitter! I have had nothing but genuine and beautiful energy from her and she deeply cares about the cats ! Prompts and good communication :) and very patient with my separation anxiety I had from my kitten since it was my first trip away from him since rescuing him 🥹🥹🥹”
“Ashlee is the very best; our dogs and cats love her! She is reliable, kind, and always on time. We will continue to ask for her help anytime we need, and we highly recommend her!”
About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has only grown. I enjoy learning and understanding animals and take caring for them very seriously. I am available everyday and work morning hours Thursday - Sunday. I am a morning person and wake up around 7 am everyday regardless if I am working or not. I care for all animals as if they are my own. I’ve been around animals my entire life and understand when they need something or are trying to convey a need or want.
About: Hi! My name is Alex and I am about to start my freshman year of college! I LOVE dogs and have one of my own! I have dog sat for about 3 years and it is my favorite thing ever! Please reach out! I am home pretty much the whole day! The only time I really leave is for a workout class and either way someone will always be home! I give my dog lots of attention and he goes on walks 2 times a day! He is very well loved and is the perfect part of our family!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fayetteville
I am so glad we found Emily! She is so caring & helped put me at ease being away from my cat. She is communicative & has a gentle, kind way about her. She went above & beyond for Maxie, and she did a wonderful job making sure he got lots of love. If you’re an anxious cat mom like me, I would highly recommend booking with Emily!
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!
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.
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 !!
Kayleigh took such great care of my dog during her drop-in visits. She was incredibly flexible with my scheduling requests which made everything so much easier. I could tell my dog really enjoyed spending time with her and looked forward to seeing her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and reliable hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fayetteville is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $38 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 888 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fayetteville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fayetteville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
