“Bonnie has a beautiful home with huge yard. She was quick to answer questions. Mason seemed to enjoy his visit. Bonnie was super sweet and met us in Hot Springs the next morning, so we could get on our way easily to Memphis.”
“Charlene and her family took the best care of our pup! Truly treated him like he was part of their family and sent plenty of pictures and updates during his stay of him on walks, playing, and having a great time. I’ll be coming back to them and would recommend them to anyone needing a sitter for their pet!”
“I am so happy I found Rebecca! I’ve not had good experiences with boarding in the past and it had caused me to become prisoner to my home. I was gone for a week and I did not worry about my dog one time. I heard from Rebecca every day with either a picture or a video reassuring me that he was doing okay. There’s not a cost you can put on peace, and Rebecca gave me that. I will be using her again and again and again.”
About: I owned dogs for 11 years now. I always had 3-4 dogs at a time, ranging from husky, German shepherd, Maltese, poodle and French bulldog. Had cats, bearded dragon, and snakes. I am working part-time and trying to transition out of my current job and doing pet sitting full time, so I will dedicate all my time to pet care. I am an animal lover. Dogs cats reptiles, always treated them with respect and will give lots of love! I will end up being one of their new favorite humans.
“Our dog had a blast with Joanne. She was happily exhausted after pickup, from running around the farm and with new friends. We have already booked future stays with Joanne and feel very comfortable with her care.”
“Gail took care of my baby like it was her own. She sent pictures and added comments to make me feel close to my dog while I was away. Gail is very professional and adept in her care and love of pets. Paws 🐾 up!!”
“Ruth enjoyed her time with Courtney and Shadow. They all got along very well, and Ruth’s stay allowed her to socialize and take a break from her normal routine. Courtney helped me to not worry about Ruth or how things were going by sharing videos and keeping me updated on how she was getting along.”
“Renee was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Lilo, while I was out of the country getting married. From the moment we met, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lilo in her care. Throughout the stay, Renee was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and messages almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Lilo was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. This was easily the best sitter experience I have ever had through Rover. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We were so happy with Molly! She took great care of our Frenchie. She sent me updates every day with pictures and she was very responsive throughout the entire process! She is extremely friendly and has a great personality! We enjoyed our time with her.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Ali! she took such incredible care of my dog while I was away — it truly felt like my pup was on a vacation of his own. From daily updates with photos to thoughtful little touches like playtime, cuddles, and keeping my dog’s routine consistent, she went above and beyond. When I returned, my dog was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and professional pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Naomi is the best! Takes great care of my pup and is our go to provider for frequent travel. She is very flexible , stays in contact and provides update as requested. Judging by how excited dog gets when she sees her, I know my dog is in good hands whenever Naomi has her.”
“I quickly realized that i had found a get fit for Rocket. She accepted to care for him on short notice. She was constantly sending pics and updating me. It was a great comfort while i was in the hospital. Thank you!”
“I am so happy to have found Casey when I moved to LA! She has been friendly, kind, and super flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I have an older dog that is blind and loves to cuddle-she is always sending photos of him relaxing on the couch cuddling with her on her 2 pups (which are sweethearts). She is always attentive to my dogs unique needs and communicates regularly. I feel completely comfortable with Casey's being my dogs "home away from home."”
“I was very happy that Taylor was able to keep Bogie during my trip out of town. She sent me photos everyday and he was very happy and healthy when she delivered him back to me. I will definitely use her again.”
“My dog is happy and healthy, he had his own space to go whenever he wanted private time. Bridget was excellent texting back quickly and she answered all my questions. This was the first time Horse (my dog) and I have done this and I would defiantly recommend- I usually have him stay with a friend but she had medical issues and could not keep him. I was very nervous and anxious because of this and Bridget made me feel like everything would be fine and my dog was in good hands.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Ironton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ironton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ironton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ironton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Ironton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
