“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of.

They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”

“Christine immediately felt like family. My dogs were cared for, loved and pampered while in her care. I think they secretly would have loved to stay longer! Christine was welcoming and very accommodating. I appreciate her invitation to come visit before the first date of the booking, to get acquainted. My dogs showed no signs of anxiety or uncertainty when I dropped them off. I will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: I just graduated college and moved to Little Rock for work! I miss my pets and taking care of my neighbors pets too. My family fostered dogs growing up, and I’ve been pet sitting since I can remember! While in Little Rock, I’ve already pet sat for my friend’s dog and 2 cats overnight at their home, and loved getting to prioritize and play with them for a week! I work full time 9-5 in an office Monday-Friday. I get a lunch hour where I can check on them and take them for a walk! Your pets would be fed at 7:30am, checked on at 12:30pm, fed again anytime after 5:15pm (out to you) and walked and played with for the rest of the evening! I don’t have any pets in my apartment, but I do have a gated dog park outside my apartment if your buddy needs to come play! I also live right by the river trail for walks:) I will protect your pet with my life!!
“She was very patient with our Shy Dalmatian and was always sending updates. We will definitely utilize her services again. I LOVEEEDDD The pictures that were sent as well. Thank You Thank You Thank You!! ”
“Madi was incredible! She took great care of our pups and sent plenty of updates and pictures. So many times when you return home from a trip your pups are just reserved. Not with this experience, you could tell they were well cared for and had a great time. I would highly recommend Madi to anyone who is looking for quality care for your pups!”
About: I have had and taken care of many dogs and cats since I was a child. I believe dogs and cats are all unique and fun in there own way. I have trained them in basic commands, walked them, and spent many hours playing games like fetch and keep away. Im currently working part time from home so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furry ones. Weekends and holidays are always also open. I have a fully fenced backyard for your pets during play time. I also enjoy providing neighborhood walks for them in the mornings and evenings.
About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
“1st time booking with Ms. Tammy and I'm so glad we found her. The care that she provided made my Teddy feel at home. Her daily pictures and photos was so appreciated as it allowed me to share my fur baby's experience. We will definitely book again. I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Huge thanks to Loria! I was a first-time Rover user and she made the whole reservation comfortable and easy with daily updates! She was also very cognizant of my dog’s needs, nursing a healing injury. Thanks so much! I would (will) gladly book again!”

As of November 2026, there are 210 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Natural Steps. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Natural Steps can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Natural Steps home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Natural Steps.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Natural Steps. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
You and your Natural Steps sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
