“Jason did such a great job with my puppy Quincy. He was super kind and attentive. He answered all of my questions and replied very quickly. Their house was very tidy and they had bins and bins of dog toys. Jason’s dog Timber was adorable and welcomed Quincy into their home. I loved that Quincy had a playmate the whole time. Each day he texted me updates and sent adorable photos. He even took Quincy to the dog park :) I will definitely return next time I need somewhere to board.”
“We loved having our dogs stay with Ali and would highly recommend her!! Ali was very communicative and flexible throughout the dogs stay. And our dogs had an amazing time with her!!”
“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”
“Adela was great as always! She took great care of Ollie, sent frequent pictures, and was flexible when travel plans changed. We love knowing that our dog is in good hands when we are away!”
“James was kind and attentive to Junes needs, he took her on nice long walks to tire her out and sent a few updates! James is very easy to communicate with and understands dogs wells! We greatly appreciated how he cared for our dog!”
“Micki was great! She was very accommodating with which made scheduling pick up and drop off easy. She kept me updated with pictures and I could tell my dog received a lot of attention and was well taken care of!”
“Robert was so helpful with Braxton! We had a last minute cancellation, and needed help with almost no notice. He replied quickly and was happy to work with us for drop off and pick up. Brax had a great time and we definitely will be reaching out again!”
“Ashley was very accommodating with my drop off and pick up times. She was confident with my dogs and they loved her. They were exhausted when they got home which was great. She has a large backyard and I would use her again.”
“Laura and her family worked out great for our 2 pups. She was available on short notice and was a very good communicator, which we really appreciated. We scheduled a meet/greet prior to the booking and were very comfortable with Laura, her 2 pups, and her home. Our pups really enjoyed playing in her fenced backyard and lounging on her deck. When indoors, Laura’s home was super comfortable and accommodating for their needs. We would definitely recommend Laura’s services and rebook with her, if needed.”
About: I always knew I had this nature since I was little, on taking care of animals. I always want to protect them and make sure they are well, because I love them very much and I get upset when an animal is not okay. Been taking care of animals since I was 5 years old. I currently do not have a full time job but I do have offers around and I want to experience with this app too. My availability depends if I have an interview or I have to do an orientation. I currently have to go to Chicago every week starting on the 16 but I can do weekends. I am very exited, can’t wait to meet all these animals :) My house it is pretty big, and is very safe, there is no kids around and we can always place something on the side for them to stay put into one place !
About: I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! For the past 4 years, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of animals at an animal sanctuary, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience raising and training puppies, as well as dog sitting for family, friends, and others. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I also have experience giving medications and making sure pets receive the extra care and attention they need. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for a baby goat in my home for 6 weeks! I bottle-fed her, cared for her around the clock, and made sure she was happy, healthy, and comfortable. Experiences like this have taught me how much patience, responsibility, and attention to detail goes into caring for animals. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, training, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I work part-time, which allows me to have plenty of flexibility in my schedule for pet care! I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care while you’re away! For boarding in my home, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in backyard and a safe, comfortable environment. I also live in a walkable area, so I can provide nice, long walks when the weather permits. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routines, including crate use, feeding schedules, medications, or other care instructions. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m respectful of your belongings and your space during drop-in visits.

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.

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.
97% of sitters in Springdale 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 Springdale 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 Springdale.
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 Springdale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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 Springdale 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 IA 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.
