“They have been absolutely amazing with Eleven. I don’t think we’ve ever had a dog sitter take such good care of her and give her what she needs . We truly hit gold when we last minute found Betsie and her husband. They update us with videos and photos. Whenever we work in Ardmore,I can feel safe and secure leaving her in such good care. Highly recommend”
“My Goldendoodle and Vizsla had a great pupcation at Bonnie’s. She kept me updated daily and sent happy pics. I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate w Bonnie and the immediate ease my dogs had w her. Thanks so much!!”
“They were so patient with Chase. I had never gone out of town before where I didn’t take Chase. This was our first experience. He didn’t take it well but Renee continued to send updates and Chase got used to being with them. I would of course book with her again!”
“Amber was great. She gave daily updates on how my dog was doing. She had a big backyard for him to run around. I would definitely recommend her for your dog boarding needs.”
“Gail was excellent! The love she has for animals is so vibrant and she took great care of my Baxter. She kept me updated as needed and made him feel right at home. I would most definitely recommend if you want someone that will treat them like their own!”
About: I have taken care of many rescues puppies to seniors that need extra care throughout my life. From my own to friends and families pets as well. I work part-time as a personal trainer with a flexible schedule that lets me be home when I need. I still have pets of my own so I schedule around them. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own so your pet doesn’t have to be alone. We are also close to a park for walks. I also have kennels if your dog prefer a safe space for themselves.
“What an amazing amazing place for my dogs to go and play. The house is super nice the yard super nice they're back off the main road a bit so you don't have to worry about the dogs or anything else. I would highly recommend Scout. I got pictures both days for both my dogs with a little note about how they were doing. My biggest dog actually did not want to go back home with me she thought the place was fantastic.”
“Salma was so great sweet with our pup and so easy to work with .She was kind and patient when we needed her to be. She sent us multiple pictures, daily during a long stay. We will definitely rebook if in the area again.”
“We were very happy with Chewie’s care during our trip. Vita took him on daily walks & gave him all the snuggles. She sent us picture and video updates each day, which we really appreciated! We would use her services again.”
“Hannah was great with my mom's dogs; and I received updates along with photos of them playing and snuggling. It's not easy taking care of another family's pets, and since I have never done rover before, it has eased my mind on the individual home boarding. I do recommend Hanah H for this service; she made it very easy and truly did care about them. Thanks for the love and attention they received over the weekend.”
“Ok, so I was skeptical at first, having always used Hounds Hideaway, in loving my dog with strangers. From the first message Mandy and her husband were awesome. Did a pre meet and greet to make sure everyone and dog were comparable and BAM, they were amazing. They took great care of our dog and sent updates and photos which kept my wife and daughter happy. I am so going to sue them again, they let Winter into their home as if she had already been living there!”
“Mowgli had such a great time with Maru P. She and her family were so patient with him (and his drool)! While it was too hot for many walks, they made sure Mowgli was engaged by playing with the hose (Mowgli loves water). He also enjoyed the resident canines. That they so easily accepted this bouncy pig tells me how well-socialized they are. Maru was great at communicating with me, and she took my concerns that Mowgli not over do himself very seriously. He came home balanced - not exhausted and not overstimulated - which is exactly what I'm looking for in a sitter. We will be booking again!”
“I am so happy to have found Casey when I moved to LA! She has been friendly, kind, and super flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I have an older dog that is blind and loves to cuddle-she is always sending photos of him relaxing on the couch cuddling with her on her 2 pups (which are sweethearts). She is always attentive to my dogs unique needs and communicates regularly. I feel completely comfortable with Casey's being my dogs "home away from home."”
“Cayley was so good with our baby! She left daily messages and pictures which gave us piece of mind that she was well taking care of! Will definitely have Cailey watch our pup again!”
“Alicia was super patient with our dogs when they decided to not be on their best behavior. She kept me updated on how they were doing during their long stay with her. They were well cared for!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rixey
Have found my reliable Rover home for Harley! William and Natalie communicate effectively and consistently, they provide ample opportunity to feel like your pet is going to a safe home and they ask questions to make sure they get it right. They have a big backyard which any dog would love but walks and hikes are still included nonetheless! Every time I pick up Harley from their house I feel like he had an opportunity to practice some social skills with their dog, and that makes me feel good about my own dog’s growth. They really make an effort to help Harley feel comfortable in their home; their love for pets is pretty evident.
Rhonda was absolutely amazing watching my pup! Partway through the stay, my little girl had an allergic reaction to a bug bite, and Rhonda handled it perfectly — she noticed it right away, stayed on top of it, and kept me constantly in the loop with updates, pictures, and videos so I could see exactly how she was doing throughout the whole thing. Her communication was outstanding; I never once felt anxious or out of the loop, which means a lot when you're away from your pet. She took such attentive, loving care of my pup and got the swelling down quickly and safely. Beyond just handling that situation well, it's clear Rhonda genuinely cares about the animals she watches — you can tell in how attentive and proactive she is. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter, and I already have plans to book her again for my pup very soon.
Johnnie was wonderful with our dog, Dolly! He was very accommodating with drop-off, super friendly, and kept a clean, organized home. He even took great care of her when it snowed and sent pictures and videos to keep us updated. He was easy to reach and so helpful when it was time to pick her up. We felt completely comfortable leaving Dolly with him and would 100% recommend Johnnie to anyone.

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 Rixey 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 Rixey 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 Rixey.
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 Rixey. 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 Rixey 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.
