“Kamri is awesome! Professional and very attentive to our Gurdy who is very hard of hearing and also sight challenged. She is 14 and like a granny, but was well taken care of by Kamri while we were out of town. We are so grateful to have found her on Rover.”
“Raven was great! We needed someone to watch our three dogs while we were away for a week and she took care of them and kept in contact with us. We would totally recommend Raven if you need someone to take care of your animals!”
“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’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 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’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! 😊
About: I am doing school online at the moment and work for the state. I am in a family of four I have my mom, dad, and my special needs brother I help out a lot with. I have five dogs that I call my fur babies, and one cat that I might as well call a dog. I call her a dog just because she eats dog food lol. I have dog sat for many people and they recommend me to many others. I am applying to be a dog sitter on the side to make some extra cash too be able to help pay for my college classes. Any given chance that I can work with dogs and be able to take my energy out on them with playing im all for it! They can leave me a letter of what they would want me to do specifically. I have taken care of dogs by the notes that they have left me for quite sometime now.
“Paige was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She kept us updated the whole time and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Vernon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
