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: I have been surrounded my dogs my whole life, growing up with three large ones of my own! I also have worked at a vet in Little Rock and am a certified veterinary technician! I am a college student with a flexible schedule, I am so excited to get to meet new pets and walk! I go to the university of Arkansas and have a good amount of free time during the week, I love pets and walking them is more for me! I have always had respect for all pets, I am trained with handling most cases working at the vet, this can include just taking the pet out to distributing medication.
“Emily was great with my cats as always! She leaves detailed check in notes and was able to get my shy kitty to come out of his shell. Highly recommend to anyone needing a cat/pet sitter in the area.”
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 out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. 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: Hi! I'm Mackenzie, a passionate animal lover with dog and cat experience. I have worked professionally with dogs at a doggy daycare, as well as cared for my family’s much-loved special needs labrador for many years. I’m also a cat parent and I have experience watching other people’s cats since I was young. I love all pets, large or small, old or young (I have a soft spot for little senior pets), and I’d be honored to spend time with yours! I have flexibility with my schedule. I’m typically unavailable Tuesdays from 1-4pm. I try my best to keep my calendar updated but feel free to ask if you have any questions! I’m meticulous with instructions, and will be sure to follow your pet’s routines so they feel as at ease as possible while you’re away. I want you to feel at ease as well so I always make sure to have a safety plan in case of emergency.

About: I have grown up with all sorts of animals; ranging from cats and dogs to turtles and horses. If you have a pet I most likely have owned it and taken care of it before. Family friends, neighbors and friends of friends have always reached out to me to take care of their healthy and sick pets when going away. I am a recent college grad who is just trying to bring in a little extra cash will I figure out this adult thing on my own. I miss all my animals from back home so I would love to have time to babysit your babies and make them feel like they get to go on vacay too! I have always had pets and I like to make sure that they always have a clean, safe place to be. I will make sure your pet is always cleaned up after and has a fun time so you can come home to a happy pet and a clean house and yard.
“Natalie was wonderful. Responsible, skilled and a sweetheart. We have two 13yo and one 8mo. All three took to her easily and quickly. Her updates kept us at ease and the pups always looked happy in their photos. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fayetteville
Emily was very accommodating to our situation. Wag was unpredictable and will never use them. Emily showed kindness, compassion, and sympathy towards my family and our fur babies! Will continue to utilize her service as she shows what it is to be a great sitter!
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!
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fayetteville on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 929 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fayetteville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fayetteville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
