“Lana took good care of brisket while my family visited the area. She was flexible with dropoff and pickup, was responsive, told us about the nice activities she did with him, and the brisket seemed happy and comfortable when we picked him up. Highly recommended!”
“Oreo had a wonderful stay at Melana’s. She was also able to take Oreo in such a short notice (2 hours)! She sent a lot of updates even though Oreo’s stay wasn’t very long, which I appreciate very much! Oreo had a lot of fun playing with her dogs and running in a spacious backyard. Thank you Melana for taking care of Oreo!”
“Best Rover experience I’ve had to date! Sherri is kind, generous, and quick to support. Not only did Jasper get spoiled by hikes and cuddles, but I also received the affirmation and trust we all crave when booking through Rover. Thanks again, Sherri! ?”

About: I raised my dog Rocky from when he was a puppy, so I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages. I’ve pet sit many times before learning about Rover. Every pet is different, and I’m prepared to do my best to meet your pet’s individual needs. I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment. Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.
“How sweet! And we loved all the pictures! Also, how do you get her to look at you during your selfies? She won’t look at the camera for me and my pictures never turned out that good LOL!”
“Thank you, Sarah, for your special care with our senior baby, Charlie! It looks like he got very comfortable very quickly. I’m glad he made a friend with your little toddler! The photo updates were very helpful and cute!”
About: I recently got a new job that allows me to work remotely most of the time. My dog has loved the change, but needs some company from time to time. I live in an apartment with a 2 acre dog park a half mile away. My dog and I usually go to the park twice a day when I work from home (weather permitting) with several more walks a day. There is also a walking trail around a couple of ponds with plenty of squirrels for your dog to say hi to. We always had pets (cats and dogs) growing up in a small Texas town. As a kid, I also did drop in visits for some of my neighbors when they went out of town. After I got my dog, I would dog sit for some of my friends. Now that I work from home almost every day, I'd like to keep having extra dogs around that Zeus can play with while I'm working. I have a 35 pound Jack Russell mix named Zeus. He's friendly to everyone, both people and animals. He gives dogs their space and is patient with enthusiastic puppies. He is a chill apartment dog that sleeps as much as a cat. He doesn't have a set schedule so he'll be flexible if your dog needs certain walk or feeding times. I have a job that lets me work from home so I'm able to be flexible with my schedule. Zeus and I usually go to the dog park twice a day and take several walks throughout the day. I live in an apartment with my Jack Russell mix Zeus. He's a great co-host and is patient with overly energetic puppies and gives dogs their space when they want it (he sleeps like a cat). My apartment complex has a dog park that's a 10 minute walk away and it has a walking path around a couple of ponds. The neighborhood is quiet (except for Lovers Ln) and is great for wandering around. There's full time access to water and I allow animals on the furniture. I can crate your dog if needed.
About: I absolutely adore animals. I have my own dog, whom I trained myself. I have also spent many years pet-sitting dogs and cats for friends and colleagues while they were on vacation. I have more than 10 years of experience caring for animals. In general, I connect better with animals than with people. I am refuge from Ukraine, part-time working in the law firm as legal assistant, miss my dog who is living now with my mom in Germany and will be happy to help with yours. I will be able to come to your place and petsit your animal or have a walk with your lovely pet. I have already took care of dogs and cats here in USA.
“Brittney went above and beyond in her care of our standard poodle. Her back yard was great and she was very accommodating in our opinion. Ace had company with her children and dog. A great experience, both for us and Ace.”
About: My wife and I would like to open our home for your special doggy (or doggies). We absolutely love animals and have worked with some rather difficult breeds and individuals, and are confident in the level of comfort, love, and success each animal would have with us. Any and all breeds welcome! :) I am open to negotiating all prices for extended stays, to an extent! We offer dog sitting, bathing, walking, and any other activity you may want your pet to experience! I work from home and my wife stays with me, caring for our chickens and our home. I spend a couple of hours a day with our chickens and hope to get some more animals soon. We have a very large yard. It is currently not fenced. However, there are many parks and walking spots we take my in-laws' dogs to.
About: I have owned and taken care of several dogs and cats since a very young age. I currently own 3 dogs and have owned several cats. I currently work from home on weekdays and I can usually fit a drop-in or walk visit around 9am and again after 4pm and later. Weekends are more flexible. I may be at church on most Sundays for 2 hours from 1045 -1245. I will come to your home and follow any special instructions you have to take care of your pet for you. I love animals and I will love your pet as I love my own.
About: I’ve worked in a vets office and I'm incredibly experienced with many types of animals including reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, and much more. Dog walking was my first job and since then I have done a lot of house/animal sitting. I also have experience with administering medication. I've done both shots and pills for dogs. **I can provide post op care with many types of procedures** I work weekdays with the flexibility to come home to medicate and check on animals. My fiancé is also a veterinary technician who works from home and is available at all times to provide care to your baby! I only accept one client in my home at a time. Safety is my top priority, for pets and humans. Since I have a cat, I can only accept friendly pets at this time in my home. I have the education and experience to provide a safe and happy environment for your animals. As a medical professional I can respond to emergencies if they arise.

“Andrew was so Great!!! He has a wonderful connection with animals and they with him. My Eclispe had an amazing time! She got to run and play off some that puppy energy. Andrew is very good with her and is helping me teach her. He introduced her to water also. Eclipse loves to go to his house and gets excited each time we go! She has fun every time. We will definitely be a regular if Andrew and his family will have her!!! Thank you Andrew and Family!!!!”
“I had one happy and tired dog after a day with Kalina. She sent multiple picture updates and videos throughout the day. Her little kiddos were precious and played with our dog all day. If we are ever back in the area, we would absolutely chose her to watch our guy again! Thanks again ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hot Springs on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 32 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hot Springs. 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 Hot Springs 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 32 sitters in Hot Springs, 88% 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 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.
