“Could not wish for a better sitter for my babies!!!! This is our second time with Hannah and I can’t say enough great things about the experiences. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own. She’s amazing to send pics and videos as well. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Joanne was the best!!! This is the first time leaving our pup with anyone and the experience was wonderful. Joanne took great care of Toby, sent photos and videos daily and even gave him a bath!!! We couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Joanne.”
“Andrew is awesome!! My dogs were in great hands and really enjoyed their stay with Andrew! He provides consistent updates with pictures and messages! If you need a sitter or a place to board your dogs, Andrew is the Man!!”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“Holly was wonderful. Toby is our shy scared pup and Hollys loving nature worked so well with him. He was playing and having a blast with her other fur friends and family before the visit ended. Angel, our outgoing pup, was in heaven at Hollys house. She was playing and making herself at home the minute we dropped them off. Holly send photos and videos and shared the fun the pups did while visiting her. Toby loved watching the fish in her aquarium and both pups made themselves at home with the family. Our pups were loved and treated like family. Thank you Holly for taking such great care of our babies”
“Jackie is the absolute best dog sitter! He went above and beyond for our pet. Communication was excellent. He sent us photos and messages every day. He is a caring individual and has a great backyard for dogs. Will be using him again!”
“Maggie has stayed with Christian so many times I have lost count. I feel like she has a home away from home. I hate to leave my girl, but I feel so much better knowing she’s in good hands.”
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!!
“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.”
About: I’ve been professionally pet sitting for 8 years and have cared for animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, exotic birds, fish, and small animals so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, routines, and care needs. I currently offer: • Dog walks • Drop-in visits • Cat & small animal care • Daytime house sitting/check-ins • Select boarding • Medication administration • Feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and general pet care I’m especially good with anxious pets, senior pets, and animals who need a calm, patient approach. I understand how important consistency and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like family. I’m dependable, communicative, detail oriented, and always happy to send photos. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.
“Destiny was very kind. She watched our dog Oreo and it was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone. However, Destiny made Oreo feel comfortable and it was a pleasant experience. We will be using her services again in the future.”
“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 !”
“My son was bringing my dog, Glenda to Little Rock and the car broke down in Oklahoma. This made him very late as he had to get a rental, etc. Kristen couldn't have been nicer. She went out front in the middle of the night and shortly after sent a text saying Glenda was on the bed and resting fine. The next night she slept with her 4 year old. I can recommend Kristen highly! They don't get any better! ”
About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
“Kristen took such great care of my senior yorkie! He was happy and comfortable with her, and we were not worried about him at all! I will definitely use her again for boarding.”
About: I raised my dog Rocky from when he was a puppy, so I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages. I’ve pet sit many times before learning about Rover. Every pet is different, and I’m prepared to do my best to meet your pet’s individual needs. I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment. Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.

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.
97% of sitters in Shaw 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 Shaw 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 Shaw.
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 Shaw. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Shaw 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.
