“Tyler was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and cat He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared about them and took great care of their needs. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book with Tyler again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾❤️”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every dog. With 11 years of experience caring for my family's dog, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and personalized care. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times I'm available all day everyday Monday- Friday! Anytime of the day! I currently have a part time job that takes up a few hours once or twice a week! I have a fully fenced in yard as well as a very sweet and gentle 11 year old dog at my family's house! I can easily crate your dog as well. I'm well at maintaining routines and providing a safe, structured, and stress free environment.
“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!”
About: Hey there! My name is Annie Webb and I have been working with animals and dogs since I was 15 (I’m now 22!) I worked at a dog boarding kennel in Prairie Grove and my duties included • Managing the kennel area, which includes cleaning and caring for the dogs staying there. Administering medication orally or injection. • Assisting in the care of about 60 sheep that live on the farm, this includes feeding, water, administering vaccinations, and many other tasks. • Communicating with customers about the care and schedule their animal requires, as well as the handling of money and scheduling drop-offs and pick-ups. I also have been in dog grooming since 2024. I started at PetSmart and worked there for 2 years. While there I completed and graduated from their grooming program. From there I went to 2 other salons before deciding to take a break while attending school. Because of my experience I have also dealt with my fair share of different levels of anxious dogs. I pride myself on being able to calmly care for dogs that have a higher anxiety level due to a new experience or person. I am calm and confident and dogs are drawn to my demeanor. I’m currently in college but I have plenty of time in between classes as well as evenings. I also don’t have class on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, as well as weekends off to give your pet the proper attention they deserve! I have a fenced yard and a house. I also have a 4 year old cocker spaniel who loves people and pets, I also have a cat that loves people and gets along well with other cats and dogs!
About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and care tailored to their needs. I always do my best to make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am currently a student at the University of Arkansas that works part time before class however I am completely free after class and all day Friday-Sunday. I live in a townhome with a backyard, although it is not fenced. I’m happy to provide crate care when needed and can take dogs outside for walks and bathroom breaks on a leash. I’m also comfortable traveling to clients’ homes for both quick check-ins and longer visits to make sure their pets are comfortable, cared for, and have everything they need.
About: I genuinely love animals, so this isn’t something that feels like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy doing. Because of that, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and tuned in to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages, including young animals that need a little extra attention and older pets that may need a calmer, more gentle approach. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I am recently unemployed, so my daily and weekly routine has been pretty flexible. I am very open to discuss working at anytime and will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I house and pet sit every so often and enjoy doing it. I also set aside time during the week to focus on job searching and planning next steps. I follow all instructions given to take of your pets and do everything to make them feel loved/not throw them off schedule. I am a very responsible person and take good care of homes and pets.
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 animals for family members and neighbors throughout my life. This includes over night sitting and stopping by to walk, feed, or any other needs the owner has.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 430 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summers. 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 Summers 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 Summers 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 Summers 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
