“Very reliable and attentive pet sitter. She came exactly as scheduled for three visits a day, sent multiple photos each visit, and handled our older dog’s accidents without issue. Great communication and care throughout—highly recommended.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved taking care of animals. I’ve watched and walked dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, patient, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, food, and love. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m a student athlete, but I have a flexible schedule and can work around school and other commitments. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, especially during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m also happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a close eye on your pet, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away.

“I had a wonderful experience! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I got home. She was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”

About: I've taken care of both small, medium, and large dogs for friends, family and neighbors since I was 15. Also I am bilingual, I speak both English and Spanish. I currently work at a part time job so my schedule is going to be pretty fixed in place for most of the day although I am willing to work it out just let me know in advance. I have only taken care of pets that have either belonged to my family or to my friends. I am a big fan of animals and I won't get upset at them especially if they want attention. I am very willing to play, and cuddle with any dogs or cats. I can also update you by text or even by sending you pictures as the day goes just let me know if you would like that.

About: I have experience with cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and even lizards! I've dog sat a handful of times, and I have my own senior dog I love and care for. I’m currently working part time, which is enough time to take care and play with your animals! I would enjoy taking them on walks, to the park to play, or even just cuddle in my free time. I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, and provide them with enough love, care and exercise. If there’s certain needs for them I can gladly get it done.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 4 years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I absolutely love animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and cuddles! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I’m available throughout the week and possibly weekends for walks, check-ins, or just keeping them company when you’re away. I always make sure pets are comfortable and taken care of. I’m good about following whatever routine you have for them, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or anything else they’re used to. I know that each pet is different, so whatever works for them also works for me:)

Caitlan was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for and treated them like they were her own. She was attentive, dependable, and gave them plenty of love while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We truly appreciate everything Caitlan did and would happily have her care for our cats again. I seriously cannot say enough good things about this wonderful pet sitter!! Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️

Madelyn did a great job with our pets while we were out of town! We have never used Rover before, but our handsome boy Buzz, isn’t neutered so most of our local boarding areas won’t accept him for overnight stays. Madelyn showed up twice a day every day per schedule and let him go potty and made sure he was fed! She also spent a little time with the cats— even though we didn’t ask ❤️ 10/10 will use again!

Christopher is the BEST. He always goes above and beyond, and my kiddos love him. He takes excellent care of all of them (wide range of ages, personalities, and energy levels).

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Jonesboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jonesboro is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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 56 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jonesboro. 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jonesboro. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
