About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, giving me years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I am comfortable providing basic first aid care when needed and always make your pet’s safety and comfort a top priority. I will treat your pets like family, giving them plenty of love, attention, and compassionate care while you’re away. Available drop off and pickup times (Beginning August 3rd): Saturday, Sunday, and Monday: Anytime Tuesday-Friday: 5:00 am-6:30 am and 3:15 pm- 10:00 pm My husband and I are both teachers, so our schedules allow us to be home by 3:15 p.m. each weekday. During the school day, my husband also comes home on his lunch break to provide potty breaks, exercise, and extra attention for the dogs in our care. As pet parents to three dogs and two cats, we understand that pets are family. We provide every animal with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own, making their health, safety, and happiness our highest priorities. When your pet is staying with us you can trust they’ll be treated like one of our own. I can work to your needs, if your dogs are crate trained I’m happy to crate them at night or when I briefly leave the house, if they are more comfortable sleeping close by I can do that too! Leave me detailed instructions and I will follow them!
“Can't say enough good things, every day she's stopped in to check on my pup, he's had a great day playing fetch, running around, getting some of his energy out. His commands have gotten better, crate training better, and she's given me good tips and tricks that she's observed spending time with my pup. Also takes and sends great little videos and pictures of my pup playing or being crazy whenever she does a drop in.”
“Thomas was excellent!! He took great care of our pups and I really like that he posted a ton of videos and pictures. He gave our dogs lots of love while we were away. He was very quick to respond if we needed to reach out about something, which is reassuring. 5 stars for sure!”
About: I’m a college student in Health Sciences, so I have an intense care of others and animals. I ensure all humans and animals are loved and feel safe! I’m a college student who works part time, I’m always in Central Arkansas majority of the days. I tend to linger in Conway, Little Rock or Cabot. I will play with your little furry friends and cuddle with them. Tend to their needs. I will also send pictures of them because who doesn’t want cute pictures of their furry friends!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
“It was wonderful meeting Lisa and my dogs were so calm around her ....of course they were super excited at first but calmed down surprisingly fast around her. I will def be using her to dogsit in the future. Ty for dropping in and meeting my babies.”
“Renee was so good with my cat. She went above and beyond in every area. She updated us regularly and made sure that our cat was well-cared for and happy. Renee is a terrific person and will be my go-to sitter when I need someone to take care of our pet in the future. I highly suggest that you consider contacting her if you are in need of pet-sitting services. Garfield will see you again soon, Renee!!!!”
About: Throughout my life, my family has owned 4 dogs, and many of my friends own dogs that I spend a lot of time with. I currently have two dogs, as well as a few bonus neighborhood dogs, that I love both playing and relaxing with. I often am responsible for feeding, letting out, and cleaning up after my family dogs. I am a recent college graduate with no set job or schedule yet, so I'm very flexible! Presently, most of my work is gig work, so it is very easy for me to run by your house on my way to or from those gigs. I aim to give your pet as much of a sense of normalcy as I can! Whether they like to wrestle outside or sit together in silence, I want to give them whatever they need in the moment. I like to leave a space how I found it, so if they need any feeding or make any messes, I will clean up being myself or them.
“Katie was patient and understanding as we worked through Rover's payment system SNAFUs. She communicated wonderfully and kept to all my requests in taking care of my three cats during their drop-in visits. Would most definitely recommend! :)”
“She has been the best thing my fiancé could’ve asked for when it comes to making sure our babies are taken care of. Whether it was the dog, cat, or sometimes both, she showed them the same love and care we show them. I wish there was more I could do to show my appreciation for everything she’s done. Booking rovers for sitting, walking, or just drop in visits is not cheap, but knowing our babies were in safe hands while we were gone is priceless. Thank you Charsy!!”
About: I have been house and animal sitting for my family and family friends since I was 15! I love to go on walks and be outside in nature, and would love to take your animals with me! I love animals of any and all kinds, but I have a soft spot for rescues and senior dogs. My experience includes over night stays, day time visits, and longer periods of care. I work part time at Hendrix College! I only work on weekends days, so I am completely free on the weekends! I am done with work at 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4pm Wednesday-Friday! In client’s homes I care for pets by taking them outside to use the bathroom as required, if not more. I also spend ample time playing with them and making sure they get all of their energy out! If they are allowed, I am happy to allow animals into the bed for cuddles at night! I love to love on animals!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way up to elderly dogs! I love all the animals! I am available all throughout the week! I am not free on weekends but other than that I would love to babysit your fur babies! I have a fenced in back yard with the sweetest fur baby you’ll ever meet. He gets fed twice a day and always has water available
“Danielle was great! She was amazing about sending pictures of my kitties and they seemed to really be happy with her. She was fabulous about playtime with my high energy kitten. Everything was tidy and taken care of upon my return as well.”
About: As a dedicated pet and house sitter with 20+ years of experience, I've built a reputation for delivering exceptional care. My journey began in Little Rock, Arkansas, and continued to grow after relocating to Kansas City, Kansas. Now based in Conway, Arkansas, I provide loving services to the surrounding areas. With my experience as a Veterinary Assistant and lifelong passion for animals, you can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I'm available for overnight stays, regular visits, or customized care - always with a smile and a passion for animals. 😊 I have a pretty flexible schedule, as I work part time from home. I have reliable transportation that allows me the freedom to tend to your pets on their normal schedule. I treat them as they were my fur-babies. I love to spoil them & give them the attention they deserve. I let mine have free rein of the house, they sleep with me if they want to. I give treats and love cuddles. There feeding schedule is simple but consistent.
About: I am a full-time online college student working to finish my degree this year. I love animals and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I can work weekends and holidays as well as everyday whenever i’m needed. I have one service animal living in my apartment but am prepared for any baths, medications, or cuddles needed for yours! I can also crate your furry friend if preferred. I am a full-time college student taking classes online so I will be available whenever I’m needed in person! I am also available for same-day appointments. I can crate your dog when needed but I’m there to give them as much as attention as they want and can easily follow care instructions.
About: I have volunteered at humane society and other pig rescues for 10 years. I have 3.5 acres where I have a family of 2 pigs, 2 large dogs, and 1 cat. My wife and I try to help in any situation that an animal needs rehabbed or rehomes. I'm also a registered nurse working in mental health so I'm very patient. I have had animals my entire life. I usually tend to fall in love with special needs or senior animals because they are the most likely to not get a shot at adoption. However I love all animals, hopefully taking care of yours will feed my desires to cont adding to my own pet family. I have a job that requires every Fri sat and sun night so I have open time so I'd love to fill that time caring for the needs of your animals. My wife worked for a vet clinic in Jonesboro for 5 yrs prior to becoming a registered nurse. My nursing job allows for a lot of extra free time to fill up, not being able to have children of my own. I'm excited to service animal lovers like myself. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard as well as a sunroom with heat and cooling with a doggy door. I have 2 older dogs that lazily reside here, and a 30x30 pen for my pigs when we can't be around to watch them, but everybody sleeps inside together. I'm loyal and take pride in all that I do so I can guarantee that I will be able to provide any and all needs your pet should require.
About: We have 3 very spunky and active Aussies, so we know exactly how much time animals need and want. And we are always ready to make them happy. One of us will always be with your pet, day or night. We are usually up early and late so your pet will get a large amount of play time. We have a fenced in back yard on roughly a half acre. So your pet has plenty of room to run and play with our Aussie family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon 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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
