About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and multiple exotics, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. I work hard to make sure that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, i will do my best to make their time with me a happy, positive experience. I currently am starting a remote business so I am home a lot! I do require dogs to be kennel trained as I need somewhere for them to go when I am out of the house. I do not have fenced yard but I have several tethers with different weights & lengths. We have several dog parks we can visit or we love to walk the surrounding neighborhood or go hiking out by Beaver Lake (leashed of course)
“Casey was wonderful! She really helped us out in a pinch! She communicated with us throughout the day with pictures and comments. Out dogs came home relaxed. They obviously felt comfortable.”
About: Hello, I own 6 ferrets, 2 cat's, a dog, a snake and a bird. I've owned animals my entire life and love all animals. Im a sucker for big dogs and especially Rottweiler's and Pit bulls. I don't mind house sitting and letting them out multiple times a day and walking them so they don't get to bored or lonely. I'm also happy to scoop litter boxes and play with cats or ferrets (I'm also a sucker for these little heathens). Also more than comfortable feeding any scaley friends. I don't have any problem with any animals, I've never met a dog I didn't love and I'm looking forward to hanging out with your fur babies. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

“Harriet is absolutely wonderful!! She’s great at communicating and sends lots of pictures. Something that really makes her stand out is the love and care she gives to the dogs in her care. She treated my puppy like a part of her family, and I could see how happy and content he was when I picked him up. We’ve had many bad experiences with sitters on Rover, we’re so happy to have finally found an amazing sitter!! I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Ella was amazing. She agreed to watch my pup last minute so that I could move. My girl was medicated from a long drive but she was extra caring and understanding. Ella even made adjustments with her dog so Luna would be comfortable. Highly recommend and thank you so much, Ella!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and grew up surrounded by animals, including horses, cats, and sheep. I also have professional experience working at a doggie daycare, where I gained additional hands-on experience caring for dogs and understanding their individual personalities and needs. At 54, I bring a lifetime of animal experience, patience, and a genuine love for caring for pets. I enjoy playing with dogs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and affection. My fenced backyard provides a safe space for dogs to play and enjoy outdoor time. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each one feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving owners peace of mind knowing their beloved companions are receiving attentive, loving care. My schedule is flexible, and I enjoy spending plenty of time with the pets in my care. I’m available for playtime, walks, outdoor fun in my fenced backyard, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away! My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive supervision, gentle handling, regular playtime and walks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Pets can enjoy outdoor time in my securely fenced backyard, while I follow each pet’s routine, needs, and comfort level.
“Professional, reliable, and great with communication throughout. Marci took really good care of Newton, and I always felt he was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend them and would book again.”
About: I’ve taken great care of my dogs over the years. I’m available to take excellent care of your dog too. I am also able to pickup and drop-off your dog for added convenience to your busy life and schedule. My son and I are enjoying our summer together and would love to share our summer with your fur-baby. Let's have a great summer! :D Our home has a fenced yard and ample living space so your fur-baby will be home away from home. There is also a nearby walk area so we can all stretch our legs.
“Lark is very responsive and seems to know her stuff. Our pup was very well taken care of and seems to really have enjoyed herself. It’s always tough leaving them but we feel confident Lark responds nda to each dogs needs and we are looking forward to using Lark again soon for boarding as she did a great job.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 10 years. I currently care for my sweet boy Milo, who has been with me for 4 years, and my older girl Zoey has been part of our family for 11 years. Because of them, I’m comfortable with both energetic younger dogs and gentle senior care. I’m patient, calm, and very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and emotional needs. I follow instructions carefully and treat every dog like family. You can expect lots of communication, photos, and a safe, loving environment for your pet! I’m home most days and have a predictable routine, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I take Milo out regularly, and adding another dog into our routine is easy for me. I can offer walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m flexible with timing and can adjust to your pet’s needs I take safety and comfort very seriously. I make sure pets have a clean, cozy space, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervised playtime. I follow feeding schedules exactly and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Milo is well‑behaved and friendly, and I always introduce dogs slowly and calmly. Your pet will be treated with patience, love, and consistent care.
About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!
About: I had my first dog when I was 8 and raised her from a puppy for 5 years. Also, I’ve been pet/dog (e.g. dogs, cat, reptiles, etc.) and house sitting for several years. I graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, and currently volunteer with the Fayetteville animal shelter. I’m currently working full-time M-F from 8am-5pm with a few breaks. More than willing to do whatever takes to ensure you and your pet are most comfortable. We have several parks nearby within a quaint neighborhood. I have a 2BR apartment, no pets, and tons of amenities available (dog park, walking trails, etc.).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Garfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Garfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of AR. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 248 sitters in Garfield, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
