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.
“Ali came over to feed our indoor/outdoor cats in the mornings and change the water and litter for a week. We have a cat clan, and she gave us updates and photos letting us know who was there and anything else that we might want to know. She brought in some boxes that were delivered while we were gone and cleaned up a gift that one of the 1-y-o boys (likely) had brought into the house. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!!”
“Aaliyah was so great! She kept us in the loop, had great communication, and provided lots of updates and photos! I definitely would recommend her to care for your fur babies”
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: 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.
“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).”
“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: My name is Azalea! I am open to any kind of pet service as I have lived with pets almost my whole life. From boarding your pet to a simple walk, I will always put your pet first. They are beautiful creatures that make one’s life happier and better, so I will ensure they feel welcomed and safe in my home. I have dealt with all kinds of pets from dogs to cats to birds to hamsters. There is nothing better than being able to trust someone with your pet when you are away from home. Allow my home to be your pet’s second home when life gets busy! I do work full-time but I work 2 minutes from where I live, so it would be so easy to check on your pet as needed! It’s a typical 9-5, so I would be able to take a walk in the morning and/or in the evening! I live downtown, so walking around the Arkansas River Trail is one of my favorite things to do and it’s such a great walk for any dog to enjoy!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since high school, I’ve walked neighborhood dogs, pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and fostered kittens to prepare them for their forever homes. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing patient, reliable, and loving care. As a medical student, you can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and trustworthy while your pets are in my care. As a fourth-year medical student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I keep my availability updated and communicate promptly, so you can count on reliable care and regular updates while you’re away. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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 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!
About: I grew up in the country in a house with all kinds of animals! I’ve had many dogs and cats throughout my life big and small! I even had a pet squirrel and raccoon that we had to nurse back to health! I love animals so much. I think they are little angels on earth. I currently have a little maltshi dog that is 11 years old. She is my whole world. I take her everywhere. She is super sweet and also loves having other dogs around since she is an only child. I am currently doing online school so I am at home 24/7. I have a two story townhouse and I live in a community with tons of areas with parks for dogs to play. My dog loves going on walks in the neighbor with me. We also have a huge window (that’s about as big as the wall) that the dogs can look out of and watch squirrels and see our big back yard. I will love your dog like my own. I will walk them frequently and let them sleep with me at night! I have multiple dog beds they can also sleep on. I have tons of dog toys (I think over 50) so they won’t ever need to bring anything. I also have many different types of dog treats so if you say it’s okay I will give them treats from time to time as well. Lil Miss and I will look after your baby. Give them sooo much love and attention and cuddles. They don’t have to ever be in a cage at my place and they can totally sleep on the furniture. My casa is your dogs casa. They will feel at home or like they are on a vacation with me.
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!
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: 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Farah took care of our fur babies for a few days while we were out of town and as first time Rover customers, we were very impressed with the service provided. Our dogs were very comfortable and happy with Farah. She was very attentive to our their individual needs, and she updated us on how they were doing every day. We highly recommend Farah!
Michelle is extremely kind, professional, and sweet. She treated all of my animals as if they were her own. For the first time in 3 years I felt entirely comfortable while on vacation. She sent regular updates, and pictures. She was also extremely accommodating to giving one of my dogs medication because he developed a hot spot the day before we left for vacation! Overall, I highly recommend Michelle! She is so wonderful.
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.
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!

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 Sherwood 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.
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 .
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.
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.

- 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.
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.
