“This was our first time having Jacob watch our dogs. I would highly recommend him. Communication is A+. Our older dog can be a bit bossy and he handled her just fine.”

“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

About: I’ve had a goldendoodle since he was a puppy and now he is 8 years old. Having him has given me hands-on experience understanding a dogs needs, routines, personality and behavior. I also regularly take care of families/friends dogs as well so i’m comfortable with spending time with different dogs with different personalities. I understand every dog has their own personality and I love getting to know each one. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience and attention I give my own. I work full time during the week but, I love spending my free time with animals and would love meet your fur baby. I’m available for drop in visits, and dog walking around my work schedule. I enjoy spending time with dogs and would love to make pet care part of my routine. I can help provide attention, playtime, walks, feeding and companionship based on your dogs individual needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets so, I will do my best to keep that regulate schedule. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and trusting someone to care for them is a big deal. I will always prioritize your pets safety, comfort and happiness while respecting your home and following your instructions. I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of attention, exercise and affection and care tailored to their needs. I also understand the importance of keeping doors and gates secure, following feeding instructions and maintaining familiar routines. I want every pet parent to feel comfortable knowing their fur baby will be in good loving arms!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

About: I sat my mom's friend's dog, Van, a mini goldendoodle, for two years — daily walks, feeding, grooming, and plenty of play — and loved every minute. I'm reliable, patient with shy or energetic dogs, follow your routine exactly, and send photo updates so you always know your pup is happy and safe. I'm currently between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I'm available any day of the week, mornings through evenings, and can take last-minute or same-day bookings with no notice needed. I follow your dog's routine exactly, keep doors and gates secured, keep dogs leashed on walks, and send photo updates so you know they're safe.

“We couldn't be happier with the care Melissa provided for our sweet girl, Sophie, over the past few days! Right from the initial meet and greet, Melissa impressed us. She was extremely patient and knew exactly how to approach Sophie, letting her get comfortable at her own pace (having training treats in her pocket certainly didn't hurt either!). Throughout the stay, Melissa excelled at communication. She kept us in the loop continuously, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The regular updates and absolutely fantastic photos she sent made our day every single time. On top of that, she was wonderfully flexible with timing based on our schedule when we arrived back home. It is completely clear that this isn't just a job for Melissa, but a genuine passion. Our precious pup was happy, comfortable, and truly treated like family in her care. If you are looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and skilled dog sitter who truly loves what she does, hire Melissa. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: My motto is: "I wouldn't trust my pet with just anyone, why should YOU?! I TREAT EVERY PET AS IF IT WERE MY OWN!" I'm a pet care specialist with 40+ years experience. One of my first jobs was as a Veterinary Assistant. Since that time I've worked at various animal hospitals, kennels, grooming salons & dog walking/pet sitting companies. Over the past the 40 years, I've worked in nearly every aspect of the pet care field. In 1994 I started my own pet care service in Chicago, offering petsitting/feedings/dog walking for clients who were stuck at work or going on vacation. After relocating in 2008, I began offering my services in the northwestern suburban area & added in-home basic grooming such as nail trims, ear cleaning, etc. Available by appt. Days, evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, etc. I currently work part-time at a grooming salon & have open availability (but please still try to book in advance!) Various online payments accepted including Zelle & Cash App as well as cash & personal checks. Feel free to be as specific & detailed as you'd like when it comes to how you prefer your pet is cared for! I welcome any notes regarding feedings/diet, treats, etc. My goal is always to provide top quality pet care that DOESN'T break the bank & become great friends with your fur baby!

“Delaney was great from start to finish! We were able to coordinate a meet & greet prior to the requested booking dates to ensure both parties got along well. My cat was well taken care of - and Delaney even helped out with the mail and weekly garbage/recycling pick up. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing their cat cared for while they’re away.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Prairie Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Prairie Grove is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,216 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Prairie Grove. 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 Prairie Grove. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
