“Sarah helped me when I needed a last minute sitter! She was a great communicator, reasonably priced, and sent cute picture updates that made me feel very confident with her care! She spent time brushing and playing with my cats favorite toys every day. I’m very lucky she was available”


“We are so thankful to have found Anna. She did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our dog, Nash. She was extremely professional and we appreciated the pictures/updates she provided through the Rover app. Our dog got sick in the house overnight and Anna cleaned up the mess for us. She was great and we look forward to using her again!”

“Awesome dog sitter. Highly recommended. Moriah is very professional prompt and trustworthy. Treated my dogs as if they were her own. Easy to communicate with and friendly. A+++++ Will definitely be using again.”

About: Hello! I am Claire, 28, and I am a Certified Veterinary Nurse with experience in clinics and a love of taking care of and learning about animals of all varieties. I have three dogs, all of which get walks daily. I make changes to my home and routine to better suit the needs of my elderly pug, Milo. All pets are family, I would never let grandma go a minute without care, consideration, and comfort. Their lives are far too precious and too short to be placed at the end of the priority list.
“Today was Nikki's 2nd visit with our king shepherd lucian. He absolutely loves Nikki and how she is with him. She's caring and loving and playful. He has lots of energy and loves playing and for her to teach him things. I look forward to her future visits with him. I'm very proud that we requested her to come and interact with him.”

“Tiffany and husband where great!. Oakley enjoyed walks and time spend together. It gave me great comfort to find a reliable sitter. I do not leave Oakley by my side very often.”


About: I grew up with a Great Dane and now care for two smaller babies. I love all animals and I’m sure I’ll love yours ☺️ I had exotic animals when I was a teen. My little zoo had rats, ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do some gig work but I’m free otherwise and would love to meet your animals! If needed I can set some time aside for your animals if they need a quick potty break I am naturally shy and quiet, but just let me know what your animal’s needs are beforehand to make them more comfortable. (like I know some dogs rely on calm, quiet environments and others may like loud and energetic environments.
About: I’m a dog lover and happy to offer my services to an important member of your family! I have a labradoodle that craves play dates and loves to run. training my dog by providing positive reinforcement and building trust, I consider myself a dog whisperer! Dogs want to please and should be motivated by the love they are shown, not by fear. That’s where I come in. You want your dog to be taken care of by someone that will provide safety and fun, exercise and relaxation. I’d like to provide your dog a fun experience with me! I also think consistency with the same Dog Sitters builds trust. I work 15 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to take good care of your pet! It’s important for our dogs to live their best life 🐾 I like to make sure your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. I go to dog parks such as Draper Park, Tanner and Crestwood Park, Willow Creek and Run-A-Muk Dog Park. I’m a retired veteran and I have an open schedule. With advanced notice and a couple of meet and greets, we can work out the details custom tailored to your family needs. I’m able to meet the specific needs of your dog! With consistency from me, your dog will quickly feel safe and supported. I want your dog to feel relaxed and happy!
About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)

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.

Sarah was fabulous!! She was so sweet with our shy kitty and he warmed right up to her! She sent lots of pictures and even videos. I love how she even sent pictures of his food and water bowls so we had peace of mind that he was all good. She is absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Royal stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
