“I believe this is the 3rd time using Bonnie.... but as always my pets were taken care of. Apparently my cat is warming up to her very well because he gets the zoomies and was playing with her. Lol! She just does exactly what is needed and gives them a lot of attention.”
“Brianna took excellent care of our 18 year old cat and 27 year old Quaker Parrot while we were away on a 3 week trip. The peace of mind her daily check ins with pictures gave me was priceless. Will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend you do as well.”
“Madeline was the BEST!!! She took thorough notes of all our fur-baby needs and was an excellent communicator while we were away. It's clear she LOVES animals; we were able to vacation in peace because we knew she was giving our pets the care and love they need :) Thank you Madeline!!”
“Hannah did a great job. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She posted photos of our cats and sent them to us each day. She even brought the mail in. We will use her again!”
“Awesome sitter, on time and took the time to spend quality time with my furry baby. I work all day and the hour she spends with him is awesome. Walked him, played, watered and fed…. Great Job!!!”
About: Hello there! We're Tyler and Veronica, you can call us T&V-your soon-to-be favorite house sitters! After nearly 20 years as traveling musicians, we can't resist the call of the open road. Originally from Arkansas, we've had the joy of house/pet sitting across the country and staying with incredible hosts worldwide. We both grew up with dogs and had 4 dogs early in our marriage. V started babysitting at age 10 (which included helping with pets) and has been a dog lover ever since! We can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Married for 25 fascinating years, we're passionate about animals, exploring new places, savoring delicious food, and engaging in lively conversations. House sitting allows us to help others while continuing our adventures, discovering new cities, and embracing diverse cultures. We love immersing ourselves in different neighborhoods, gaining fresh perspectives, and learning from our travels. We're excited to bring our love for life and our caring touch to your home. Let's create some great memories together! Pricing is negotiable. We take your care requests to heart and will love your fur babies as if they were our own. We take great care while sitting or walking while paying attention to the animals and their behaviors and needs.
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Emily is as a dog sitter! She took such great care of our babies while we were away for a seven-day trip, and I didn’t have to worry for a single moment. Her communication is outstanding—I love the pictures and updates she sends. They always reassure me that our dogs are well taken care of and happy. It warms my heart to see our pups literally smiling in her photos! She’s truly wonderful, and we’re so grateful for her care and dedication.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need endless playtime to senior pups who just want a cozy nap buddy. I grew up around animals, and I know every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite toys. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping their tails wagging while you’re away, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. ❤️ I’m currently working 9-5 but always have time during the day to take care of your pups! I can’t provide potty breaks on lunch and more! I have a fenced in yard and three dogs of my own to keep yours company! I can also kennel your pup if needed during times I am away.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs for about 10 years. I am most experienced with small dogs, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent routine. I am patient and attentive, and I love spending time with animals! I currently work full time at a 9-5. I have some time around lunch time for a quick check-in. I have time after work and on weekends for pet care. I just offer drop-in visits and walks since I live in an apartment. I can take pets on a quick walk in the neighborhood or for playtime in the yard if it's fenced.
About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and care for their pets when they needed the help. I also have pets of my own and cared for senior pets and the youngins. I’m currently not reaching the hours I need at my job and have a flexible schedule. So I can easily fit side quests in and would love to use that spare time to care for some furbabies! I love to be active and get out, so I am able to walk dogs/puppies and play with them. I also have alot of patience for pets who are shy. I love cats so much and understand their boundaries and when they are scared. I am really good with getting pets out of their shells and socializing.
“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Kayla has been wonderful with my 2 dogs. It was a busy schedule of 2xs daily visits and groomer drop off. She was there every day playing with them or soothing them through the thunderstorm. She has fed them meticulously with the multitude of additions that they get daily. The pictures showed them being very happy everytime. I am so glad I found her on Rover!”
“Jurnee did an amazing job checking in on our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She was extremely accommodating and understanding of our wild pups that are full of personality. She didn’t skip a beat and went above and beyond! Will definitely utilize her services again!”
About: I absolutely love animals and I will always take care of them!I’ve had a dog my whole life, and I love being around cats too! I have a lot of free time and I need to make some extra money to pay for my daily life things like school and groceries and the needed things!! I spend time with them to make them feel loved, I always make sure they are okay, I love animals with my whole heart and I would do anything for them!
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve shared life with a collie, two Dobermans, a boxer, and a pair of West Highland White Terriers, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention — just like one of my own! I own my own cleaning business and manage an Airbnb, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day and can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, morning potty break, or evening cuddles, I can usually make it work. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities and keeping things organized, so you can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s routine. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they have fresh food and water, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away — and to give you total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I have experience taking care of my own pets and of family and friends while they are away from home. Reliable and trustworthy. Thank you. I'm available for pet sitting 7 days a week. Hourly, daily, weekend or longer. Flexible hours. Happy to send updates & photos while on sit. I'll take care of your pets in your home, that's where they're happiest! I enjoy the companionship of pets and look forward to taking care of yours.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fort Smith on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 52 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Smith. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
