“Breanna was great for dog sitting! My dog can be nervous when I’m out of town but Breanna was patient with her. It was so nice having peace of mind while I was away.”
“As a VERY attached, semi-neurotic pet mom, with needy doggos, I felt much more at ease knowing my babies were in the hands of Bonnie. She went above and beyond to reassure me and give my dogs the attention and time they need and deserve in my absence this weekend. So thankful for her and would 100% rebook with her.”
“Jennifer was great! Very responsive and attentive to Truffles' needs. Had her housesit and the house was in great shape when we came home and so was Truffles. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! Thank you Jennifer for taking care of my fur baby as if she was your own!”
“Mandy did a fantastic job taking care of our three pups. One of our babies is a 14 year old corgi who is handicapped and she was very diligent and wonderful taking care of him. Sending pictures three times a day really meant a lot for our piece of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely use Mandy again and would recommend her.”
“Kayla did an amazing job accommodating all of our requests and made us feel very comfortable leaving our boys with her! She kept us updated and sent us all the pictures we asked for. The dogs were so comfortable I’m not even sure they realized we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Hunter was amazing with my dog. She stopped by earlier in the week to meet him before their overnight together. Sent me pictures throughout the day/night with little updates. Very reassuring and caring. Will be booking again when needed.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats since I was a little girl! To seven dogs in my house growing up… From massive dogs like Cane Corso’s, to chihuahua’s, they’re all big babies to me! With doggy daycare training, and experience, it makes for a proactive combination. I can lift, twist, run, bend, and messes of ALL kinds are absolutely no biggie to me! I’m currently working part-time, but plan to leave at the end of September, so my schedule will be open and available to any needs! I’m also waiting for spring semester to start, so my schedule is completely open! I have a 4x4 pin I use for my dog, since we don’t have a fence, I also take him to the dog park, and crate him when needed. So, crate’s, little quirks to keep the crate locked, all of that… trust me, I’m familiar. I’ll make sure your dog/cat is all safe and locked up before leaving, and even send proof for a sense of peace!
“Jurnee did a great job caring for our pups while we where out of town. She was dependable and kept us up to date with picture, would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”
“I really liked Chyenne, we are really picky who we leave our dogs with and interviewed many people on the site, we did many meet and greets and after seeing how comfortable our dogs were when meeting her we felt relieaved”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Smith
Linda was absolutely wonderful with Leeloo and Sweeney! She watched them for 6 days, and I came home to two incredibly happy, well-exercised dogs. On top of taking such great care of my pups, she left my house spotlessly clean. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Smith walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Smith maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Smith choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
