“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”
“Bonnie is the BEST!! Extremely quick with responding, kept in contact the entire time and sent tons of photos. She has a huge yard and ample space. I will definitely be rebooking with her again! ? ?”
“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”
“As always our girls were given the best care by Amber and her son. We had to extend the stay by one night due to unforseen circumstances and Amber was so understanding and accommodating which in turn relieved so much stress as we were out of town. We cannot thank Amber enough ❤️”
“Tammy is amazing! She has such a calming and welcoming spirit. My dog has separation anxiety and to see my pup jump up to tell her goodbye was so sweet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!!”
About: I have had many pets in my life, dog's, cats, mice, rabbit, hampster, fish, chicken's, tortoise... I have carred for puppies, kittens, senior's (10yrs and up) and dogs with disabilities such as blindness and difficulties with walking in older age. I am willing to learn what your pets needs are and will do my best to meet all their needs whatever those may be, specific feeding schedule, medications... I am comfortable with dogs who wear diapers if needed I've done overnight pet sitting for a week or two at a time, and used to work at a horse stable in highschool. I work in the evenings Monday - Friday from 2:30pm to 11:00pm. I let the dogs out to pee as needed during the day. I work 5 minutes away so if necessary can go let the pets out to pee partway into that time. I'm usually home the whole morning and get back from work between 11pm and 12am. I go to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day for at least and hour. I can do walks as well or in place of the park. I have an empty spare room for your pet to have their own space for eating and relaxing but they are more than welcome to be out in the main house with my dog if they prefer the company. They can sleep with me and my dog in the bedroom or sleep in the spare room/ crated (I have 2 spare crates for both small and small/medium dogs). I have a dog and a cat. My dog loves a good pal to play with and my cat will mostly keep to herself and usually goes unnoticed. Both my pets have open access to food and water at all times. But if your pet needs a strict feeding schedule there food can be placed out of reach. To ensure no food related scuffñes your baby will be fed separately in the spare room for maximum comfort and safety. I make frequent trips to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day. I can do walks as well or in place of the dog park. I have a fully fenced backyard to play and potty in, I let the dogs out multiple times during the day and about twice before bed. I usually give the dogs some sort of longish lasting chew before I go to work to provide some stimulation during the beginning hours of my shift such as a pig ear or hide.
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.
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!!
“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“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.”
“Christine was amazing with my babies. She took them to play at the dog park everyday and I could tell they were in great hands. I know Hopper and Nana can’t wait to go back. Thank you Christine.”
“This Taylor’s 3rd time keeping my baby & as usual she provided excellent care ! When Taylor dog sits my puppy me I’m able to travel with a peace of mind because i know my baby is in good hands !”
“Madison is awesome. She sent us pictures almost every day of our vacation. We were extremely impressed with her care and compassion for our babies. We'll definitely be boarding with Madison again!”
“Super sweet, communicative and caring! Azalea was so good at keeping up with messaging update photos while I was in my trip. And super understanding when I didn’t have exact dates for my trip! Definitely recommend”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rixey
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
