About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.

About: I've had animals my whole life until the last few years. I consider myself a cat person, however dogs are a very close second to my heart. I have nurtured small dogs back to health after being kicked by a horse and I have nurtured puppies since birth alongside their Mama. I love and respect each animal for their individual personality and meet them where they are. I don't have any furbabies of my own to love and so I am excited to love on yours and get to know their precious selves. My kiddos are gentle and understand that each animal is a person and not a toy, and they adore animals of all sorts. I have a 3 bedroom home with a fenced-in backyard in a quiet cul de sac in Greenwood, AR. My neighbor who I share part of my fence with has a super friendly dog that boarded doggos can make friends with if they want to. When visiting your home, I hold your animals and property in the highest regard and will treat your babies with the same kindness and respect that I have treated my own over my lifetime. I look forward to meeting your furry family and meeting the needs of your family! I have driven for Uber and Lyft for the last 2 years while also being home regularly as a single mom with my Littles, so making time with or without my kids for a walk or a visit is really flexible and easy for me. I can make almost any time work for your schedule. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet cul de sac in Greenwood, AR. I do not have any fur babies of my own, however my neighbor that I share a fence with has the sweetest dog and 2 cats that we get to know. I do not have a crate for boarding, so if that is something that your fur baby will require, I can easily bring yours with me for familiarity. I keep a fairly tidy home where the biggest messes are merely the signs of children that enjoyed playing all day. If your pup has a hard time resisting small toys to chew, my home may not be the best choice for them. I do not smoke, however I do use incense and essential oils and a friend who visits often does vape. If your pet will be boarded here in my home, I will refrain from use in the open areas and limit diffusing to enclosed rooms away from your animal for their safety. We have a very laid back family and animals are welcome on the living room furniture while they stay. I will do my best to help them feel at home!

About: Hi! My name is Emma. I moved to Fort Smith from Dallas, and have several years experience working in the Veterinary field. I live with my husband, Jason, and share our home with our three cats- Bones, Minx and Tiko- and our two beloved rescue pups, Sadie and Lil Bit! I’ve been surrounded by family pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is my priority and passion! I have enjoyed the wonderful opportunity of working with pets every day, and I am excited to offer quality home visits- with time for play and walks - and of course, treats (if allowed) -with lots of pets and snuggles! Animals are the true joy of the world, wouldn't you agree?! As a fur mama with my own special needs pet, I realize how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your fur baby while you are away. Please let me know if you are interested in allowing me the opportunity to pet sit and care for your pet! I currently have open availability, most days of the week, but I do work a part time job from 9am to 2pm Mon thru Fri, so my availability is flexible around that. I am always willing to work with what you and your pet may need, in order to provide them with the best experience and give the most loving care possible while you are away, but please be aware I will be away for a small portion of the day. I appreciate any insight into your pets typical daily routine, and I will always attempt to follow any specific instructions given closely. I realize how important it is for your pet(s) to recieve consistent care, and I strive to provide your pet(s) with a stress-free transition with minimal disruption while away from their pet parent.

About: I like dogs and I'm good at caring for them. I'm responsible and nurturing. We have two dogs, Olive and Lady. I'd love to meet you and your babies. I would feed them and care for them before work and after. I would also be willing to stop by on my lunchbreak. We can work out the details together. I play with them on leashes outside or in fenced in areas. I will change water, feed, and give treats as needed. I can spend time there at the home with your pet as requested.

About: I have 5 years of dog handling experience, it’s not about just walking a dog or playing with a dog it’s knowing how to go about and do it properly. My life for the last 3 years has been this. I love it, I also understand that no 2 dogs are the same and every dog needs something different, I’m equipped to offer any care your fur baby may need. I also have tons of experience bathing and clipping nails. I’m very versatile in the dog world and I’ve worked with them all. I’d love to care for your pet(s). Thank you much for considering! I currently have a job in dog care but trying to give extra time to rover. Week days are good, things change from week to week but can make time for any pets, if this goes good I want this full time until it grows bigger! I have a fenced yard so I will play with your pups and give them attention! I have 4 dogs of my own whom are all pet friendly, if your pup is not that’s completely fine. I have areas so they will never have to meet. I will always give the attention to your pup if deciding to board in home!

About: I have over ten years of experience in pet sitting/house sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and the neighboring community. I've taken care of a wide variety of animals, ranging from dogs and cats to some more infrequent ones like fish, birds, horses, hedgehogs, kangaroo mice, turtles, and even tarantulas. I would love to continue my work experience with future clients and friends through Rover. Even though I am a full-time student, pet care is a daily routine for me. My work schedule varies from week to week, but I will update my availabilities accordingly. My care for pets varies depending on the type of pet and the needs that are asked of me, but no matter what, I make sure every pet has the food, water, shelter, and love it needs. I will only board select pets in my home due to my current pet's needs, but I would be extremely happy to take care of your pet's needs in their own environment where they may feel more comfortable and at ease.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lavaca

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lavaca. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lavaca stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Lavaca 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!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Lavaca with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lavaca. 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.

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.
