“Josie warmed up to Lauren very quickly at their meet and greet! Lauren was very friendly and I felt great about leaving Josie in her care. We received photos while we were gone and came home to a happy dog. Thanks, Lauren!”
“Along with Parker, we were delighted to meet Jill. We found her to be kind, compassionate, and capable. We had no qualms about leaving Parker in her good care and will do so again when the need arises. We highly recommend Jill!”
About: I’ve got a senior dog who is diabetic, and am well versed in providing medication to older animals. I am able to make homemade pet food for special dietary needs clients as well. I am currently a college student, so pet care is an amazing job to have while dealing with school. I adore animals and love making sure they are well pampered, taken care of, and given lots of affection. My schedule is very light, so being able to make quick trips in the middle of the day is perfectly reasonable, and longer early morning and evening visits are perfect! Within my own home, my pets are spoiled rotten in the healthiest ways possible. They are given homemade food, lots of supplemental treats, and given their medication in a timely manner. I love to play with my pets, as well as my clients: I am always down for a good game of tug-o-war or fetch.
“Brittany was great with Ruger! She took fantastic care of him and our home. He is a pretty anxious guy, and there were severe storms, and she was so great with him and let him be as close to her as he needed to be. He loved having her here. We will definitely be using her again! It was so nice having her here to take care of him and to be in our house with him so we didn’t have to worry about anything.”
About: I have a genuine dedication to each animal's comfort and well-being. I take the time to understand every pet's unique personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am going to school for Fisheries and Wildlife sciences, I am available during the week and most weekends. I love animals so I am happy to visit them whenever needed. I have a large fenced in yard, fenced in porch, and love being outside. If your dog prefers indoors, we have a large open floor plan for them to roam with plenty of comfy spots to nap!
“Lisa was really awesome with my Great Dane. She came early so my girl wouldn't be alone and it made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my time away from my girl. I highly recommend Lisa for all your pet needs. She stepped in for me last minute after another sitter canceled on me a day before my trip. Lisa is a very sweet lady.”
About: Over the years, I have owned many dogs and cats and have taken good care of them, and loved them more than I could put into words! I have also had stranger animals, such as birds, horses, and more. I am reliable, honest, and can't wait to show your animal family some love and care! I am a full time college student and very active in other groups as well. My schedule is often busy but when I am in town and not in class I have more time to come and see your pets! Most weekends I am in Russellville and I am able to come by and check on your animals! While my schedule can be busy, I will do my best to make my schedule on the app clear and concise! I live in the dorms most of the time, so I will only care for pets in your home. When I am in your home to take care of your pets, if you let me know what you want to be done (and it is within my scope) I will do it! Usually, when I have petsit in the past, I will make sure to do what needs to be done such as give food, water, and other needs and then stay for a while with the pets and show them some love before I have to go!
About: I took care of my boys for just over 14 years, twin Shih Tzu’s, they were the loves of my life. They taught me more patience and much more research especially when they became seniors and required medications. After their passing I’ve been honored to take care of others fur babies, 3 goldens + 1 king cavelier and another’s cat. I loved every minute of spending time, walking, playing and even just sitting with them for company. I’m currently working part time and am flexible to help out with your fur babies whether you need someone to stop by for a few hours or need someone to watch them overnight. I will, with your instructions, care for your pet(s) just as you would. Currently I am unable to care for them in my own home.

Jill was awesome! She took and sent the most adorable pictures of our sweet boy while we were gone. She took him on walks and played with him in the yard. She even washed the bedding after she left. She was amazing! Highly recommend! We will definitely request her again.
Our new regular dog sitter! We always get a little antsy leaving our dogs with someone new but they made sure to keep us updated the entire time, our dogs were happy as could be when we came home, and they loved our dogs as much as the dogs loved them! Can’t recommend enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Russellville on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Russellville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Russellville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Russellville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Russellville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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.
