“Haley watched our 5 indoor/outdoor cats for 4 days while we were out of town. She took lots of photos and gave us detailed updates about how they were doing, which ones stuck around and which ones were on the go. She brought in some mail and packages, too. Haley made sure they had extra food available if they didn't show up, gave them fresh water, and cleaned out the litter box for them. They even got some play time in with somebody new, which I'm sure a treat for them! Thank you, Haley!”

About: Hi, I’m Angie! I’ve been a dog lover and “dog mom” my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our family. My daughter is in her third year at LSU Veterinary School, and my son is a senior at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. When he’s home, he loves being my sidekick for walks, outings and dog activities. Dogs really are a family affair around here!
 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs and multi-dog households to seniors, rescues and dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable with medications, detailed routines and adapting care to what each dog needs. I’ve also been on the client side of Rover, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your dog. I’ll keep you in the loop while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and what they enjoy. Whether that’s walks, backyard play, enrichment, a new place to sniff and explore, or just hanging out together, I want their time with me to feel less like being “left with a sitter” and more like spending time with someone they know. I have a flexible schedule and offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding and house-sitting. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can give the dogs in my care plenty of individual attention and flexibility. For Daycare and Boarding, I keep things small and personal rather than caring for a large group of dogs at once. Dogs are part of my day and get plenty of attention, playtime and outdoor time. For dogs who enjoy getting out, I’m also happy to mix things up with walks, enrichment, new sniffing spots or an occasional “field trip”. For house sitting, I follow your dog’s normal routine and get plenty of attention and companionship. My senior Golden, Stella, comes along with me, so I just make sure everyone is comfortable together first.

About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.

About: Hi! I’m Alesha, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the area. I’m new to Rover, so I’m currently offering discounted rates to build my client base. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and can help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I’m looking to make extra money by hopefully walking your dog on weekends or after 5pm on weekdays. I enjoy dogs and being outside and can’t think of a better way to make some extra money than that! I have a black lab that can come on the walk with your pet or not, if you choose not that is fine. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take him/her to a park either is fine.

About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!

About: **I have base access.** I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have five dogs, ranging from 1 to 9 years old and from small to large breeds, and all five have successfully completed the Canine Good Citizen course. I also have a cat who is almost 10 years old, and my previous cat lived to be an amazing 24 years old. Caring for my pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, training, and, most importantly, giving each animal the love and individual attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and currently only work two days a week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and give them the time and attention they need while their owners are away. I provide pet care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I believe staying in their own home can make your time away much less stressful for them because their routines, food, toys, sleeping areas, and everything they’re used to are already in place. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, care, and affection. My goal is to make your time away as easy and comfortable as possible for both you and your pets.

About: My name is Azalea! I am open to any kind of pet service as I have lived with pets almost my whole life. From boarding your pet to a simple walk, I will always put your pet first. They are beautiful creatures that make one’s life happier and better, so I will ensure they feel welcomed and safe in my home. I have dealt with all kinds of pets from dogs to cats to birds to hamsters. There is nothing better than being able to trust someone with your pet when you are away from home. Allow my home to be your pet’s second home when life gets busy! I do work full-time but I work 2 minutes from where I live, so it would be so easy to check on your pet as needed! It’s a typical 9-5, so I would be able to take a walk in the morning and/or in the evening! I live downtown, so walking around the Arkansas River Trail is one of my favorite things to do and it’s such a great walk for any dog to enjoy!

“Mallory was great she stopped by when she said she would. I was new to hiring a stranger to take care of my two dogs and two cats. I had my house full of cameras and every time she came over she loved my pets, played with my dogs and even cleaned up the stuffing my dogs tore up from my couch. She was even lucky and was able to pet my cats and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter box. I will definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. The availability I have is on weekends and after 4 pm on weekdays, available holidays. Stay overnight and accept long-term stays (longer than one week). I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

Ella did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties over the holidays! She thoroughly read the instructions I left her, paid good attention to detail, and kept the house clean. She even cleaned the sink, which was a pleasant surprise! She managed my cats' different dietary needs, including supplements and loading an automatic feeder, and handled one of the cats puking multiple times like a champ (on Christmas, no less!). She was highly communicative throughout her visits, which I appreciated. She's also a great picture taker! She sent pictures in the Rover Cards that really captured my cats' personalities. That showed me they felt comfortable with her, which made me feel much better about being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a sitter!

Grace is literally incredible. When she does “check ins”, she actually lets them out to potty and plays with them and lets them chill for the full scheduled hour. She doesn’t cut any corners! And she also sends lots of super cute pictures of my pups!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rixey

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.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
