“We are incredibly grateful for Sherri! Our trip unexpectedly got prolonged due to weather conditions and she kindly stayed over with our dogs until we could get home. It was such a relief to have someone so thoughtful, kind, and dependable at our house taking care of our dogs. We will always book Ms. Sherri if she is available!”
“Kaitlin took wonderful care of our “Chonk”. She sent pictures of him enjoying his time with her. She was very quick with responses to any texts I sent. We would definitely have her take care of Chonk again!”
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Candice was such a blessing! Our dates were on short notice and she made the effort to do our meet and greet same day as the booking! We have a new puppy and another dog with separation anxiety, and Candice was able to stay at our home for the weekend to care for them! She sent videos and pictures every day and you could see how much happier they were being in their own home with someone to care for them versus a strange kennel. I would definitely recommend Candice and will be keeping her as my pet sitter moving forward!”
About: Our family has fostered dogs since 2021. Our family was formed with animals before kids ever came along. Our first family dogs were Dixie and Hagen, in 2005 and 2006. Since then, we have added multiple dogs and cats into our family, with some passing away due to old age. We currently have 1 dog, Luna, and 2 cats, Annabelle and Lex. We have had a wide range of animals with diverse personalities come through our home due to our fostering experiences. We love those senior babies, but also enjoy playing with puppies. We both work full-time in the local school districts, but can be flexible with our schedules as needed. We love helping take care of your animals. We have a fenced in backyard and 1 playful pup who loves meeting new friends. Our girls, ages 7 and 12 also love helping to care for animals.
“We are so grateful Jessi B. was able to sit our 2 dogs in our home. She treated our dogs great, kept us updated of their daily adventures with pictures, and was so respectful of our home. We will definitely use her again!”
“Anaysha was amazing! This was my first time using these services so I was a little nervous. Anaysha was extremely friendly and communicated so well while I was away. Anaysha went above and beyond. Highly recommended!”
About: I genuinely love animals, so this isn’t something that feels like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy doing. Because of that, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and tuned in to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages, including young animals that need a little extra attention and older pets that may need a calmer, more gentle approach. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I am recently unemployed, so my daily and weekly routine has been pretty flexible. I am very open to discuss working at anytime and will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I house and pet sit every so often and enjoy doing it. I also set aside time during the week to focus on job searching and planning next steps. I follow all instructions given to take of your pets and do everything to make them feel loved/not throw them off schedule. I am a very responsible person and take good care of homes and pets.
“Deseray is very kind and I felt confident leaving my home and dog in her care. She took great care of everyone and the house and communicated well each day. Thank you, Deseray!”

About: I have had several animals growing up so I am familiar with taking care of animals. I cannot have animals where I live, so I pet sit a lot for my friends and family. I have taken care of animals of all ages and I can read their body language pretty well. I am a house cleaner and work Monday-Friday, but my hours vary depending on the cleans for the day. I may go into work later in the day or get off earlier, so I’m pretty flexible. During the weekends I don’t usually do anything so I would be available all weekend. I can care for your pets in home. I understand and can perform specific duties based on the instructions left for their care. I am experienced in giving animals medication and crating them if necessary.

I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and much more! Can’t wait to assist you and have the pleasure of caring for your beloved pets! I am currently employed with Rover full time. So I will be more than available to care for your pets 24/7! I do go to church on Sunday mornings, but will be back after! I currently own 1 furbaby who loves the company of other pets, but he’s also crate trained so if they need their own space, he can be perfectly secured. There are many parks and dog parks near my home so if you’re pet requires walking, I am more than happy to take them for a little trip!

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule looking to fill my time doing something I love!

About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Ingrid, your go-to dog sitter, walker, and drop-in buddy based in Siloam Springs. I'm a lifelong animal lover and an experienced pet caretaker, and I can't wait to meet your furry friends to ensure they have a tail-wagging good time! 😊 Services I Offer: • Dog Sitting: Whether you're away for a night or a week, rest assured your pup will be in a safe, loving environment with plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention. • Dog Walking: Regular exercise is key to a happy and healthy dog. I'll make sure your pup gets the fresh air and exercise they need! • Dog Drop-Ins: Need someone to check in on your pet during the day? I'll stop by, feed, play, and give your dog some company while you're away. What You Can Expect: • Professional Care: Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I'm experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, providing compassionate, responsible care at all times. • Fun and Engagement: From playing with their favorite toys to indoor fun, your dog will have a blast with me. I love finding new ways to keep them entertained and happy! • Reliability: If I say I'll be there, you can count on me. I understand how important it is to stick to a schedule for both you and your pet. • Detailed Updates: You'll get photos and messages after each visit or walk, so you'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing! A Little About Me: I've been wagging tails and giving belly rubs since I was a kid – dogs have always been a part of my life! With over 20 years of experience, taking care of dogs feels like second nature to me. I currently have two adorable 10-year-old Miniature Schnauzers and a spunky 5-year-old Pitbull who are my constant companions on all my adventures. You know, my friends call me the "Crazy Dog Lady," and I wear that title with pride! Dogs bring so much joy to my life, and I genuinely love being around them! If I see a dog out in public, I always walk up to the owner and ask if I can pet their puppy (yes, I'm that person! 😊). I'm super passionate about this work because I know how tough it can be to find someone you trust to care for your pets as well as you do. I know no one will provide better care for your fur babies as you would, but I can promise to give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I'll do my absolute best to make sure they feel like the top dog in my care! When I’m not busy playing with pups, I enjoy hiking, exploring the great outdoors, and learning about animal behavior. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. 😊 Contact: Send me a message through Rover, and let's set up a time to discuss your pet’s needs! 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Gentry
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 548 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gentry. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gentry 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 Gentry 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.
Tip: 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 Gentry 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gentry. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
