“Our pup loved his stay! Charlene and her family took great care of him, sending pics and updates along the way. They were also very accommodating to some slight time changes when our schedule changed. Would recommend them to everyone!”
“This was my second time booking my pups with Amber and I’ve never felt more at ease! She is definitely my go to sitter! I love all the pics I got during their stay!”
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.
“Alex did a wonderful job on very short notice. He did a great job giving medications and giving us lots of updates during a very stressful time to leave our pup. We will absolutely happily work with him again in the future. Thank you, Alex!”
“Gail was excellent! The love she has for animals is so vibrant and she took great care of my Baxter. She kept me updated as needed and made him feel right at home. I would most definitely recommend if you want someone that will treat them like their own!”
“They were so patient with Chase. I had never gone out of town before where I didn’t take Chase. This was our first experience. He didn’t take it well but Renee continued to send updates and Chase got used to being with them. I would of course book with her again!”
“Chrissy and her sweet family were helpful on late notice. They loved and played with my cute pup constantly. I got so many reassuring happy photos of my dog enjoying their backyard. Chrissy responds fast and was a wonderful sitter:)”
“Very thankful for Tammy; our regular sitter was out for the weekend and we already made plans. Tammy stepped up on short notice and gave us great peace of mind. We have found our ‘new’ regular sitter!! Thanks, Tammy!!”
“Jacquelyn was AMAZING ! She was very commutative and always kept me updated. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving Dubai with her, definitely always booking with her !”

“Our pup had a great time with Molly! She was warm and inviting from the first meetup. Very quick to respond and easy to schedule. Flexible with our travel schedule. Her place was neat with lots of space for doggies. We would book with her again.”
“Mandy is absolutely amazing. She sends plenty of updates and pictures without you having to ask. Mandy and her husband are very accommodating as well. My Lizzie came home exhausted after spending four days with her wonderful family so that lets me know she had an amazing time playing, running and interacting with other dogs. We will be booking again really soon!”
“This was my first experience leaving Sandi with a pet-sitter, so I was somewhat nervous! My husband said that Sandy was such a happy pup and so well cared for that when it was time to go, she wanted to stay ! I will definitely ask for Kristen again!”
“Madi took excellent care of our dogs, Sadie and Arlo. It’s clear she’s great with dogs and has had a ton of experience. We got updates and pictures throughout their stay with her, and they seemed very happy and tuckered out when they came home.”
“Karla was great! She did a great job watching Chance and everything went smoothly. It was easy to meet up with her to pick up and drop off Chance. She sent me updates and pictures of him while I was away. Overall, it was a good experience and I would definitely have Karla watch Chance again in the future!”
“Tonisha did a Wonderful job keeping my pups. I was nervous leaving them with a stranger because they are only 7.5 mos but they felt comfortable and loved. She took them for walks and to the park daily to socialize them with other dogs. She also gave them a bathe before they returned home. She sent me pics and videos daily. I highly recommend her services. I will Always request to book her when I need to go out of town!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Charlene & her family were absolutely amazing!! Kofi had the time of his life in their care. Would highly recommend Charlene to look after your fur baby. She’s very nice & accommodated me on a last minute work trip. If she allows, I think I just found my forever dog sitter! 😊
Have found my reliable Rover home for Harley! William and Natalie communicate effectively and consistently, they provide ample opportunity to feel like your pet is going to a safe home and they ask questions to make sure they get it right. They have a big backyard which any dog would love but walks and hikes are still included nonetheless! Every time I pick up Harley from their house I feel like he had an opportunity to practice some social skills with their dog, and that makes me feel good about my own dog’s growth. They really make an effort to help Harley feel comfortable in their home; their love for pets is pretty evident.
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.
Katie and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Molly. Katie communicates well, answering questions promptly and posting pictures. She was delightful to get to know and I didn’t have a moment’s worry about Molly while we were traveling. She goes out of her way to create a great experience!
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
98% of sitters in Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood.
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 Sherwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Sherwood 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.
