“Christopher and Grace were so kind, caring for my dogs like their own. They sent regular reports and pictures and were fast to respond when I reached out. I have no doubt that my pups were well cared for and pampered while in their care, and I’m so grateful!”
“We left our Luna with Barbara for a week . Barbara sent us photos and updates every day . I appreciated that very much; Luna was well taken care of . I would highly recommend Barbara and she is very caring and very knowledgeable about our fur family . She also has her own 2 sweet dogs that were good company to Luna . Thank you Barbara .”
“Sharon was awesome. Took great care of ours dogs during our wedding weekend. She made sure they got plenty of yard play time. Helped me unload and load them. Highly recommend her.”
About: Ive had dogs my whole life and have been the primary caregiver to my queen Schnauzer Millie since she was born- she’s now 8! I’ve trained 3 puppies and have loved it every time. I was raised in a big dog family- we have three dogs at my mom’s house my sister and brother bring their 3 dogs over at least once a week. I grew up being the primary care for the three dogs. I am a full time student at the U of A but have a lot of free time that I’d love to fill with taking care of dogs! I’m free on the weekends and have evenings/ afternoons off every day. I am always taking my dog for walks and happy to bring any other pups as well as letting them stay the night. I have the friendliest mini schnauzer that will keep your dog company. We go on at least 5 walks a day with 2 being on the longer side.
“Ally is the only person we would ever trust to leave our dog with. She genuinely treats him like he is her own, and I can’t state it words how much that means to us. Ally and her family are the absolute best!!!”
“Iyari took excellent care of our Bitty pup! Bitty has lots of special needs as a very elderly Chihuahua, but Iyari was up for the challenge and did a fantastic job. She provided daily photos and updates and made Bitty very comfortable during her stay. Bitty doesn't always warm up to strangers, but Iyari's sweet and gentle nature won her over and by the time we came back they were friends! I would definitely recommend Iyari to anyone and we'll be booking her services again soon!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any special instructions or routines your pet needs. I am currently a college student, but I’m pretty flexible with my time. I’m available to take your dog out for walks, drop-ins, or even boarding for a few days. I also have three other roommates who love animals and can help out when I’m busy or need an extra hand. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I always make sure pets are safe, secure, and never left unattended. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving extra snuggles, or keeping things tidy, I go the extra mile to ensure peace of mind for both you and your pets.
About: I have my own dog here at school, and shower her with love and care all day long! I absolutely love animals and have been around many different kinds since I was little. I will treat your pets like my own. I have one class a day, other than that I am free and will happily go on constant walks! I only have one class every day, so I will be very available. I’m an early riser naturally and very active so I’d love to add another dog into the mix. I live near Fayetteville square and many trails that I can take your animals walking on! I will send you photo updates too because I know they’ll be missed🥰
About: I have 15 years of experience watching all breeds of dogs. I'm reliable, punctual, and can pay close attention to any details you may have. I have many clients and references. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I will have plenty of time to care for your babies. I treat your pets just like my own. I look forward to meeting you! I can only offer my services within the clients home. I live in an apartment and the complex will not allow me to watch animals other than my own within the apartment.
“She is amazing! Lots of detailed updates and pictures while we were away. He was very well taken care of and loved every minute of his stay! We will definitely be returning 😃”
About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life from cats and dogs to hamsters and fish I was always the friend to count of to take care of your furry friend I am always looking for extra work to do in my free time usually morning and LATE nights while my weekends morning are always free I am very good with time management and will be 100% sure in making sure your pet is cared for and listened to potty breaks every 1.5 hours or 1 hour after feed time and will follow their feed schedule exactly I have experience in oral medications aswell
About: I’m a happy owner of two bulldog mixed girls and one orange male feline. I have taught the girls to swim and walk without a lead. I care for and love our furry family. Our big girl is getting old so exercise is too much for her. Our pets take care of each other by licking eyes and ears. Our cat doesn’t use a litter box instead will go outside. I’ve needed a trusting person to look over our animals and found this through Rover so I thought I’d return the favor during summer time. Looking forward to hearing from you. Household duties at your home are negotiable. They should like other animals if they stay with us. Please bring any comfort items or food
About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 237 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Skylight. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Skylight 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 Skylight 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 Skylight.
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 Skylight. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Skylight 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.
