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.

About: I grew up always having a dog around the house, mostly boxers, so I love taking care of dogs and it is like second nature for me. For the past couple years I have worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility where I cared for all different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience giving medications, feeding, bathing, and walking all types of dogs including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I am a full-time college student but I am able to stop by multiple times throughout the day. I am available all evening/night and in the morning. I am completely free every weekend so I can spend as much time as possible with your dog. I can happily spend hours with your dog whether we are playing, walking, or relaxing. I can easily crate dogs, administer medications, and accommodate specific dietary needs. I also know first aid for dogs in case of any emergencies.

“Auden and Yen (her right hand canine assistant) kept our 8 month old female Birdie safe, loved ,exercised and entertained for eight days at our house while we had a trip out of state. First time we have left our puppy with a pet sitter and we’re naturally anxious at first but felt completely relaxed and confident with Auden especially after many cute pictures and texts of Birdie and Yen playing, sleeping and on walks together. Such a relief to find someone you feel safe leaving your pet with.”

“Christine was absolutely amazing! We were hesitant in finding a house sitter for our dogs and cats as we’ve had a bad experience in the past, so I feel so lucky finding her! She cared about the wellbeing of our pets, sending photos throughout the day, giving us piece of mind. One of our dogs has major separation anxiety so she made sure to give him extra TLC. She took great care of our apartment too! I love that she was communicative and just had great energy. Christine will now be our go-to sitter for as long as she is available.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and experienced with leash handling and basic training cues. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Springdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Springdale. 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 Springdale 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 Springdale 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Springdale 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 , 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 .

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
