“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 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!
“10/10, definitely recommend Miranda! She is kind, updates frequently during the visit, treats your dog as her own and is loving and caring to fur babies! The best and cutest photos! Would book her again! Thank you again for being so sweet to my boy, spoiling him with treats/attention and taking good care of him. ❤️”
About: I love all animals of course! I personally have two cats and big dog myself. I have had animals of all kinds growing up and love all like they’re my own! I can’t wait to become your animals best friend😊 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays while making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine, constant supervision, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I’ll also respect your home, follow any special instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Renee was absolutely wonderful with my little pooch toby! She communicated very well, was flexible with drop-ins and was extremely sweet! She sent the best pictures of Toby throughout the week and brightened my week! I would definitely book her again for any other out of trips I I have”
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.
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.
“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!!”
“Katie was great with our dogs and with communicating with us while we were away. We got photos and details of what she did during her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I have strong experience caring for animals through both professional and personal roles. I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, and ensuring the comfort and safety of multiple animals each day. This role taught me how to handle pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs with patience and confidence. In addition to my kennel experience, I have also provided pet-sitting services for people’s animals. Through dog sitting and general pet care, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines such as walking, feeding, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need while their owners are away. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and dependable care, making me confident in my ability to look after pets in a safe, attentive, and compassionate way. 💋🐶 I help care for the pet mini pigs we have and i have watched over dogs and i have a pet gecko i love. ❤️ I help take care of the animal as instructed off a list so i know to care for them correctly and bond with the baby.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life, and I gained a lot of experience from a three year stint when I was younger and had seven at once ! The two I currently have are potty trained by me, and they respond to basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘drop it’, ‘come’, and ‘quiet’. I have also taken care of two senior, as well as groomed a goldendoodle named Moose! I’m very good with dogs, and I love just being around them! I’m currently a college student, but my weekends and afternoons are free. Early early mornings (5:15-7 am) are also free, though my availability at those times would be distance based. I do not have a place at my dorm to entertain dogs, but I have my own car in which there is plenty of space to transfer a dog to a park or even to the vet!
About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always
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.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My mom and dad were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I have no problem caring for dogs in any age range, I can walk and house sit. I am currently working part time as a Realtor so I have plenty of time to watch and walk your pups! I can board on the weekends or weekdays if needed. I have a full privacy fenced around my backyard with two of my own fur babies who are neutered and friendly. But I can crate your pups to keep them safe and separate mine to make yours a priority for the time being.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years! I truly believe that dogs weren’t sent on this earth to be our little angels. I would give your little furry friend all the loves he or she could handle while you’re gone away at work or even vacation! ❤️ I’m currently part time at my job and I was looking to make some extra money while I’m not in school. What better way to do that than to spend it with your fur babies!? I’m pretty flexible. Just send me a message and we will work something out! ☺️ I can not bring any dogs over to my house, unfortunately because I have five dogs. Not sure how they would feel about me bringing over your furry friend. I would be more than happy to come over to your house and let them out, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they were fed and had water. When it was time for me to go, I will provide kisses and hugs to your lil pup. Free of charge! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 332 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.
