“Chelsea was an amazing pet sitter! She sent pics and updates multiple times a day and contacted me to clarify anything she was not 100% sure of. I really appreciate that effort, rather than assuming things that could lead to negative outcomes. She was very kind, and my pets were extremely comfortable with her, which my Kitty can be VERY picky, and my dog Mac is very anxious. 10/10!”
“Barbora did great with our two great danes. They were well entertained and happy pups when we returned home to them. I loved all the great photos we recieved during the time she was with them. It was such a comfort to know things were going well.”
“My pets were happy when we got home and the house looked just like we left it! Amanda was such a great communicator clearing up any questions I had about my first foray into Rover. Will check her availability first upon needing this service again!”
About: I’ve had puppies, senior dogs for the last 30 yrs. My current dog is 14ys old. I had high maintenance cocker spaniels for 12 yrs one was a puppy mill stud with a lot of trauma.

In the last 30 yrs I have had puppies, adult dogs and a puppy mill rescue with a lot of trauma , I’m within 30 miles of my home almost every day and very flexible. I work full time but less than 5 min from my home. I have a privacy fence yard, no cages or kennels. Hard wood floors.

“Deseray is very kind and I felt confident leaving my home and dog in her care. She took great care of everyone and the house and communicated well each day. Thank you, Deseray!”
“Tammy was such a great help while we were on vacation. We got great photos and detailed messages about how they were doing. She has such a love for animals and I know they were so spoiled with affection while she was there. We even had a last minute emergency and she was happy to help us out with a last minute drop in visit and left the place cleaner than she found it! We will definitely be using Tammy anytime we are away!”
“Jessi did a wonderful job watching our three dogs! They each received a lot of love from her, spending lots of time playing and cuddling. She is great at communicating and sent several updates and pictures during her stay. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have a few years experience of taking care of animals, alongside living my entire life with two dogs. I have experience with all ranges of pet sizes. I am comfortable with senior care, medication administration, but am more than happy to do anything to make sure your pet is well taken care of! I’m currently on summer vacation, so I am free most of the day! I love taking walks and being active, and love to spend time playing with my own dogs! I work part time in the morning or afternoon depending on the day. This means that I’m available for care taking in the evenings and early in the morning. When sitting, my focus is on the pet and treating them as if they were my own. I want both me, your pet, and you to have fun and know everything is in good hands. My goal is to provide pets with exercise, enjoyment, and attention at all times. When I’m with my own pets, I give them lots of pets, belly rubs, and playing with toys. I bring this level of love and care to clients animals anytime I can.
About: Lifelong animal lover here, ready to care for your pet like family. I adjust to their unique personality and schedule, and I’m reliable with flexible availability for those “help, I need a sitter!” moments. Expect regular photo and video updates and lots of love. I work Monday-Friday 8-5 I come home for lunch at 1, and get off at 5. Your pup will have plenty of potty breaks throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard. I have a berenedoodle named Roux who loves to play and will make sure your pet is never bored!
About: At every party, I go find the fur baby to hang out with. I have experience training puppies (nothing formal), adopting skittish strays, and my last dog lived to be 16! There is no mess, behavior, or age I am unwilling to work with. If your animal needs space, exercise or cuddles, I am your girl. I am available all times, any day of the week. My work is mostly remote with my own laptop and I make my own hours. Each pet is unique and I will work with you to make sure I can care for them as respectfully as possible. I believe in boundaries and consent and that extends to your home and your animals.
About: I worked as a dog walker and sitter for 3 years and had my own dog for 16. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, follow routines closely, and pay attention to behavior so things stay consistent and dogs feel settled. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day. I do teach yoga a few times a week, which takes me away for 2–3 hours at a time. Otherwise, I’m home and present with the dog. I’m in a single-family home with a large (partially fenced) backyard, though I prefer getting dogs out on walks rather than relying on the yard. I live near the Bentonville trails and greenway, so that’s where we go for longer walks - usually in search of the best sniffing spots. No other pets or children in the home. It’s a quiet, non-smoking space. Windows are usually open for fresh air, and there’s a big floor-to-ceiling window where dogs can hang out and watch the calm, quiet street. I’m flexible between sitting at my place or yours, and I can accommodate a crate if needed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over eight years, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. Whether it’s high-energy walks, medication administration, or just lots of belly rubs and companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on your pet’s comfort and happiness. I also have experience with basic training and understand how to adapt to different behavioral needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and quality play or cuddle sessions. I’m flexible and prioritize consistency, making sure each pet receives the attention, care, and routine they’re used to—whether it’s early morning walks or evening check-ins. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets on their normal schedule, and ensure they feel safe and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and full of love and attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - South West City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South West City on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 263 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South West City. 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 South West City 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 South West City 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 South West City 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
