About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals who need someone. Over the years, I’ve brought home roadside strays and cared for as many as 14 dogs at once. Today, I have four dogs of my own, including three dachshunds, and they’re my world. I’ve also house-sat for friends and family for stays of two weeks or longer. I’m attentive to pet safety and each dog’s individual needs, whether that means keeping their routine consistent, noticing changes in their behavior, or giving them extra comfort while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I’ll give yours the care and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, and shared parenting responsibilities for my stepdaughter give me added flexibility to accommodate pet care. I can plan around your pet’s routine so they get the time, attention, and consistency they need while you’re away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, medications, potty breaks, and any care instructions you leave. I take time to learn their personality, whether they love playtime and cuddles or prefer a little space. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and leash safety, and I pay attention to changes in their behavior or appetite. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away, and treat your home with care and respect.
“Allison is wonderful. She made me feel completely relaxed being away. She kept me informed throughout her check-ins. I already have her booked again for house sitting next his December. I highly recommend Allison.”
About: I have had the privilege of owning pets of all kinds throughout my life and have enjoyed and learned from each as I considered each one a member of my family. With that, I understand that pets deserve respect as a living breathing creature and should be treated with the same dignity that you would give them. I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, pigs, cows, goats, chickens, fish, lizards, ducks, turkeys, and several others. I just enjoy animals overall and would love the opportunity to meet your furry family members! I work part time and attend college classes but I have plenty of flexibility and free time to ensure the proper care of your pets! I am very active and do not mind walking dogs to get that necessary exercise or just acting as a companion so they feel loved. As my two mini long haired dachshunds rule my household, I would need to watch your pets in your home or walk them around your neighborhood. I understand the trust it takes to allow someone into your home and your pets environment, but I want to ensure that your pets (and you) feel comfortable with any arrangement.
“Courtney was an absolute doll! I was so nervous leaving my pets for 10 days while we were on a cruise but Courtney was in constant contact with me 3 times a day, sending pictures and updates. She even went overboard to make friends with my skittish cat, who she won over after a few days! I highly recommend her. She was kind, gentle and patient with my pets and we will definitely be using her services again for our next vacation. Thank you Courtney for loving on Diesel and Danté. ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hot Springs is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 118 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hot Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
