Lacy was absolutely fantastic! My husband and I went on an 11 day trip to Europe and I was incredibly anxious leaving our fur baby, Leroy, due to his considerable health issues and his age. Lacy took excellent care of Leroy, keeping up with his medication and providing multiple updates which helped ease my mind tremendously! We came home to a very clean house and a happy, healthy boy. We can’t thank Lacy enough and would highly recommend her!

Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cat for almost 5 years, and I’ve raised my own dogs since they were puppies, so I’m very familiar with their needs at every stage of life. I also have experience working as a dog walker, where I built strong relationships with many regular clients. This helped me develop reliability, patience, and a good understanding of different dog personalities and behaviors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, basic training, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, except for Saturday. Please message me if you have any concerns. I’ll try my best to get the time works. I have fenced yard to keep your baby safely. I will be at home and take care of them. If you need a single safety room for you baby please let me know

Allison went above and beyond caring for our 2 fur babies!!! One got very ill and she cleaned up after him and graciously took him to the vet to have him checked out after I arranged an appointment. She was so caring and kind to them. They loved her. We found a friend for life!

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: Hi, I’m Angie! I’ve been a dog lover and “dog mom” my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our family. My daughter is in her third year at LSU Veterinary School, and my son is a senior at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. When he’s home, he loves being my sidekick for walks, outings and dog activities. Dogs really are a family affair around here!
 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs and multi-dog households to seniors, rescues and dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable with medications, detailed routines and adapting care to what each dog needs. I’ve also been on the client side of Rover, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your dog. I’ll keep you in the loop while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and what they enjoy. Whether that’s walks, backyard play, enrichment, a new place to sniff and explore, or just hanging out together, I want their time with me to feel less like being “left with a sitter” and more like spending time with someone they know. I have a flexible schedule and offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding and house-sitting. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can give the dogs in my care plenty of individual attention and flexibility. For Daycare and Boarding, I keep things small and personal rather than caring for a large group of dogs at once. Dogs are part of my day and get plenty of attention, playtime and outdoor time. For dogs who enjoy getting out, I’m also happy to mix things up with walks, enrichment, new sniffing spots or an occasional “field trip”. For house sitting, I follow your dog’s normal routine and get plenty of attention and companionship. My senior Golden, Stella, comes along with me, so I just make sure everyone is comfortable together first.

Maddie was great with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after our first meet up. It is very clear how much she loves animals. She took great care of Stanley and all of my additional requests while she was at my house. I am so grateful for her, and would trust her with any pets!

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: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive and dependable, and I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and my goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both of you! So i currently am i xray tech and ma at Baptist urgent care in Little Rock, and my schedule is put out to where i work a couple days in a row, and then I’m off for a couple days and I get bored with those days I’m off and I want something I love to do! So in my house I have 3 dogs, I have a fenced in yard and I also have sun shade around my entire fence! My top priority is my dogs safety no matter what! And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!

Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.

About: I’m a medical student and cat mom who has been dog sitting for multiple families for several years. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities and absolutely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and that means playing, going for walks, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company while their family is away. As a dog sitter and fellow pet owner, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you’re not there. I’ll make sure their normal routines are followed and give them plenty of love and attention along the way! I’m happy to care for dogs of all sizes and would love to get to know your pup! I typically have school requirements from 7am-7pm weekdays and will do a drop-in during my lunch hour (12-1pm). I'll be with your pet from when I get off (which may be earlier, depends on my schedule, which I'm happy to give you more info on if you message me) to when I leave for school. I'm available most weekends and will plan to be around during the day on the weekend. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow each pet’s routine and specific instructions, keep their environment safe and clean, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and I also spent over a year working as a veterinary assistant. I have worked hands-on with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm comfortable caring for nervous or fearful pets, high-energy dogs, and animals that require extra patience or careful handling. I also have extensive experience administering medications and following detailed medical and care instructions. I now work as a wildlife researcher and have additional professional experience with animal handling, behavior, and husbandry across a wide variety of species. I'm comfortable reading behavior and adjusting my approach to the individual animal. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, senior, or just has a very particular routine, I'm happy to work with their needs and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pet in my care! While I do have daily obligations that may take me away for parts of the day, I have plenty of availability for walks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention throughout the day. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can remain comfortable with their normal environment and routine. I’m happy to provide multiple walks per day, plenty of playtime and attention, and meals, snacks, and medications according to their regular schedule. I will always follow care instructions closely and adjust my approach to your pet’s individual needs and personality.

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, an Arkansas native. I have been watching dogs and cats for over 15 years. This began with just neighbors, family, and friends but due to my love for watching fur babies I have continued to throughout undergrad and I even volunteered weekly at a cat rescue in Albuquerque for 2 years. What sets me apart is my passion for ensuring your fur babies receive the BEST care. Each animal is unique in personality and you can rest assured I will be anticipating their needs throughout a house sit, check in, or walk! I am passionate about ensuring dogs do not walk on asphalt we would not walk barefoot on, ensuring adequate playtime, and taking their time drinking water. If I could be a veterinarian or vet tech I would, but I cannot handle the mental weight that comes with those career fields, so instead, allow me the opportunity to provide your fur babies the very best treatment and trust they are in good hands while you are gone. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of opportunities to play with your fur babies! I am flexible on time a that work better for your babies so their routines stay in tact while you are gone! For my personal care of my own pets, I have a fenced yard, all of my cats are fixed, and I do not let them roam without being on their leash. I take all precautions necessary with my animals AND yours to prevent easily fixed mistakes by just being mindful. Whether it be monitoring hydration, asphalt temperatures, or bathroom changes, I am constantly ensuring I have a full picture of exactly how your fur baby is doing.

About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My mom and dad were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I have no problem caring for dogs in any age range, I can walk and house sit. I am currently working part time as a Realtor so I have plenty of time to watch and walk your pups! I can board on the weekends or weekdays if needed. I have a full privacy fenced around my backyard with two of my own fur babies who are neutered and friendly. But I can crate your pups to keep them safe and separate mine to make yours a priority for the time being.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sherwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sherwood. 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 Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 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!

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 with handling special pet needs in Sherwood. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
