About: I love dogs and i’d love to give your dog the company and needs for the times you’re not home with them! I will walk, play and spend time with pups as needed! communication with the owners will be necessary. my availability may change but i will most definitely let you know! instead of paying a ridiculous amount for a doggy hotel or doggy day care center, consider me and i’ll give your dog a great time! I’ll send pictures of your pup every visit and i’ll make sure you’re comfortable with me and your pup before the service begins. Big or small, love them all!! 🐶 I’m currently working from home and my schedule is pretty much open to all hours! I would for sure let you know if anything changed I have a fenced in back yard and 2 pups at home that will keep your dogs occupied and have the best stay with us
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet lover who understands that your furry family member deserves the same love and attention you give them every day. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each pet’s unique needs and personality. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles. I take pride in being dependable and communicative—I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal like my own and always aim to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby! I'm currently working part-time from home and pursuing certification in dog training, allowing me ample time to care for your fur baby.I’m really flexible and will tailor to your needs I have a fenced-in backyard, and due to the winter season, your pet will remain indoors, only going outside for potty breaks or walks and play time.
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.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Tabitha made it such a wonderful experience! She came by beforehand for a meet and greet, took thoughtful notes to make sure our girls were well cared for. Even our most skittish pup warmed up to her right away! Tabitha was punctual, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We’d be happy to book with her again in the future!”
About: I've been an animal shelter volunteer and pet parent for the last 16 yrs, fostered cats and dogs (from babies to seniors) in my home for the last 12 yrs and have been the go-to cat & dog sitter for countless friends & family since college. I have extensive experience caring for senior cats and dogs as well as training and experience with pets with anxiety issues; especially rescues. I truly love animals and would love to care for your "furbabies" while you're away! I'm happy to care for your pets in whatever way you/they require in your home. Frequent walks and outdoor potty breaks are no problem! I'm also happy to bathe and/or medicate your pet if needed. I currently work in retail full time but my schedule can be somewhat flexible with at least 2 wks notice. However, I do typically work 12-6pm Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun, so if you're looking to book me on weekends, please keep in mind that your pups will have to go about 6.5hrs without a potty break. For the time being, I am only doing in-house pet sitting at the pet's home. I don't have a fenced yard and therefore don't feel comfortable watching pets in my home.
About: Howdy! I have cared for and loved my roommate's dogs all through college including Incredible Zoe Rose, Buster the Boxer, Wilson the Great Dane, Doc George the Shepherd, and Aspen the Aussie. I am responsible and will give your pet the love it deserves. I have been working for Rover for a while now and understand that many owners expect a little different style of care; whether you want lots of updates or just to have piece of mind that your doggy is safe and having fun. Whatever type of care you prefer I will provide. Have no worries about your furry family while you are away. If you are looking for a dependable, respectful doggy lover then look no further! I am a student in a graduate program. Our schedule varies from day to day. Just give me a shout if you are interested and I will try to be prompt to provide a response. I almost feel as I have a sixth sense with dogs. Although rare, I can feel when my pup is sad or not feeling well and give him all the love he needs. I will provide the same care for your pups🙂
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, but real experience come from veterinary clinics and my dog that I have raised and trained for 3 years I currently have open availability, so I can dedicate plenty of time for walking, playtime, feeding, and companionship! Your pets will have my undivided attention! If needed, I can care for your fur baby by providing them with a big fenced in backyard, a very affectionate and playful Australian Shepherd, and a spacious kennel if you wish for them to be in there!
About: I have loved dogs ever since I was young, and I am lucky enough to be able to work from home and care for your dogs due to my flexible schedule! I have been dogsitting since 2022 and have enjoyed consistent caretaking of many different pups across the Central Arkansas area, including both smaller to larger dogs as well as younger and senior dogs. I prefer to visit with the family to make sure that their dog is comfortable with me as well as to ensure I know where the essentials are stored, such as foods, medicines, etc. I have had experience as well with administering injectable medicine such as insulin in case your dog is diabetic. I am also happy to chat through any other specific needs and requests for your dog to ensure that they have the best experience under my care. I also have experience with taking care of multiple dogs at once, with three being the most that I have taken care of at one time. As I am a full time professional with a hybrid/remote job, I am able to take care of your pets easily while working. The only thing I need is a Wifi connection and I am good to go to care for your pets! I aim to ensure that your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are out of town. I request that any specific needs, routines, or other things to keep in mind be written down on a piece of paper or relayed to me so that I am able to care for your pet exactly as you need and prefer. I also love to play with them in the yard, take them on walks, and do anything that makes me feel like a natural extension of their daily routine while you are gone. One more thing: if your pet likes to sleep in your bed, I am comfortable with them being on the bed! Otherwise, I am happy to continue their usual bedtime routine.
About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
About: I've had a lot of experience with dogs throughout my life including really anxious and shy doggos. Nurturing, attentive, and enthusiastic about taking care of animals. I have an extremely flexible/part time schedule in my "real life" so I have flexibility for you and yours as well! I am available through the day on week days and weekends while you work to support your precious animal. :) I currently live in an apartment with my adult golden retriever. She is great with other animals, sweet, well mannered, and doesn’t chew on anything. Due to the size of my place I can only board smaller breeds at this time. If I am house sitting for you I will need to bring my dog with me. I'm neat and tidy and like to leave things as if I've never been there or better.
About: Fun walks/run personalized to your pets routine, quirks, and comforts-whether they're playful, shy, senior, or spirited! Whether you're at school/work, running errands or just need an extra hand, I'm here to make sure your furry friends gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve :) always available and flexible! usually accept same day booking :) just send me a text, call, or email if needed! i’d love to work something out I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with a gate that also has a private dog park to let them roam around and enjoy!
About: I have two pets of my own. I would love the opportunity to care for others fur babies. I’m experienced caring from puppy age to senior. I am also well equipped at caring for elderly pets and distributing medicine. I currently work full time, however, I am only in the office three days a week. I can walk dogs on Mondays/Fridays during lunch, most days after work, and weekends. I have a fenced in back yard. My cat is used to dogs and gets along well with them. My senior dog is well behaved and calm.
About: I absolutely love taking care of dogs. I have 2 of my own and they are absolutely loved and taken care of. They are great playmates as well. I work full time, I have 2 off days a week. I go home on lunch to take care of the pups. I don’t go in until 11. I have a fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood to take walks in. I love being able to relax in my back yard while the pups run and play.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14! I am the type to say “one second, I need to go pet that cat/dog!” While owners are away, I believe that animals are so much happier staying with someone in their own home or in someone else’s safe home than in a kennel at a boarding facility! Let me be that safe place for your pet(s)! I am working part time currently, while doing online school, so I am home a lot! I have a dog of my own who often needs lots of attention himself, so I am more than experienced with making sure animals get all of it that they need/want! I have a fenced in courtyard area in front of my house, so there is room to run around for pets who stay in my home, and I also have a pet play area to take the animals to! If your pet likes to go for walks, we have a great route for walks! I especially love caring for pets in their own home because I feel that they are always most comfortable there! I always want them to be happy!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Ashleigh took care of our cat during the Fourth of July weekend while we were away and helped us out last-minute. She was reliable and gave us twice-daily updates. She also met with us before we went out of town so we could get to know each other a little, which we appreciated.
She has now watched our girls several times, and every time she treats them like they were her own. I feel complete peace when I’m out of town, knowing my girls are in excellent hands. She not only lets them out, but spends actual time with them and caters to each of their needs. She brings a ball to play ball with my more feisty one and sits on the couch to lounge with my 14-year-old gentle Ridgeback giving her the gentle love she needs. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have complete peace of mind when they are out of town.
Cassandra was absolutely wonderful with my girl. She sent pictures and videos which put me at ease. I would highly recommend her to everyone. You can tell she has passion for animal’s and I felt like my girl was in good hands the entire time. So thankful for her. Truly the best!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sherwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Sherwood 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sherwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
