“I seriously can’t say enough good things about Emily. She house sat and watched all of my pets.. cats, rabbits, and even my reptiles, and absolutely crushed it. I was gone for an entire week, which made me nervous, especially having a medically-needy cat, but everything went perfectly. Her communication was consistent the whole time. She sent updates, photos, and videos that made me feel totally at ease. They were humorous and cute, showing that my animals were being loved and cared for by a professional. She even filmed the walkthrough when I was explaining everyone’s care routines so she could make sure she got everything right. That kind of effort and thoughtfulness is rare, and it meant so much. Everything was spotless when I got home, and every single pet looked happy and cared for. She’s trustworthy, responsible, and just genuinely great with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her pet sit again.”
“We needed a last minute dog sitter and got ahold of Cambria. From the get go she was prompt in replies, thorough and very friendly. Our dogs also really seemed to like her. During the house sitting she sent many updates about coming and going, how the dogs were doing and even sent some great pictures of the dogs. Overall very happy with Cambria and would definitely recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting and taking care of pets ever since I could drive. I have also been raised around pets my entire life and they have been treated like Family and I cannot wait to treat your pets like they are my own. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I love keeping them active or giving cuddles whenever they’re having a lazy day. Right now since it’s summer I am free during the day and most evenings! Once school starts back up I will be available in the afternoons and evenings! Of course I will always be available for overnight work, unless I am out of town! When watching a pet in their home I work to keep their schedule and routine and similar as possible whenever their family is home. I also try to add in some play time outside and walks! If needed I can clean up around the house as well! Dog families will truly never run out of pet hair ha! If a pet is staying at my home, they will be treated like family. I will bring familiar toys over for them and a favorite blanket! They will have the opportunity to play outside as I have 5 acres of land. If they need to be on a leash that is no problem! Pets that I am coming over to check on during the day/giving walks to will be active with me outside for the time that I need to be there! I love walks and being outside! If it’s a senior pup or one that hates being outside I will work to get them outside for a few minutes at a time and never push them out of their comfort zone!
“Our pets (one dog, two cats) had a great time with Dezerae! She stayed at our home to care for them while we were away for the weekend. She sent pictures and thorough updates, and was quick to respond when we messaged her. She left our apartment clean and our fur babies fed, walked and happy. We had a great experience!”
“Katelyn was awesome! She took excellent care of my two dogs and my home. She sent photos and video of my pups multiple times a day, kept me informed, and even dealt with arriving packages, watering my plants, and other various tasks. Upon returning home, I found happy, healthy dogs and my house spotless and clean. I would most definitely book Katelyn again in the future!”
“Anna was so good with my dogs and followed all instructions. She was super respectful of my home, and left without a trace. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my two dogs, and upon my return home they were relaxed and happy. I will definitely be hiring Anna again! Wonderful!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am SO GLAD I found Tess. She was incredibly prompt when we were booking and was very professional. When she watched my pets, without fail, she sent me daily photos and was very transparent about problems that arose while I was gone. She made me feel very confident that my pets were being watched and cared for! Two of my pets take daily meds and she was meticulous about their routine and sending me photos of that as well. I highly recommend her!”
“This is the first time that I have used Rover. Sakara did a lovely job. I would definitely request her again. She sent pictures almost daily and my dogs looked happy and content. I currently have a foster dog who is timid and Sakara did a great job with her. It was nice to be away and know that my fur babies were well taken care of.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I am comfortable handling energetic pets, giving medications when needed, and making sure animals feel loved!! I am currently working part time and mostly making my own schedule. I work close to home allowing me to be able to check in frequently. I have a decent sized back yard and plenty of room inside the home. Your pet will have space to enjoy and get comfortable during their stay.
“Lauren was the sweetest and made our pups feel like they had family keeping them. We never worried because of her check-ins and she was wonderful with our 1 year old Shihtzu and our 11 year old lab/collie mix. We loved the photos and she made sure our dogs were so well taken care of. We would happily use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.
“My dog Alfie seemed to have a great time with Joshua! I hired him for in house sitting while on vacation and he was a phenomenal house guest, fantastic with Alfie, and did a wonderful job of sending updates/photos and accommodating any of my requests. 10/10 would recommend going forward.”
About: I've always grown up with dogs and have lots of experience with them. I don't currently have any of my own but am super happy to love on yours!! I've taken care of puppies, all the way through senior pets! I am currently employed, but my shifts are only 6 hours. Other than that my availability is open. I live in a peaceful apartment with no other animals, and can accommodate anything from calm nights in with nervous pups, to taking your little go-getter out for adventures! I'm happy to accommodate whatever is best for them. Depending on your pets needs, I have a crate, or a spare room full of toys and a big cushy couch for them to curl up on until I can get back and take care of them!
“Ella made sure our kitties got plenty of love while we were away! She was able to administer oral medication appropriately. She tidied up after herself- you couldn’t even tell anyone had been here!”
“Ana was great to work with and we will be using her again!! She immediately was loved by our (skittish) Aussie and both cats. She communicates well and responds quickly! It’s nice having someone you trust with your babies and home while gone on a trip. Ana let us enjoy our wedding anniversary without any worry!”
“Aly was great with the animals. They all seemed to love her pretty quickly, I got tons of photos of them, and she took very detailed notes of when they went out, ate, etc. I asked her to sit very last minute and am happy she was available!”

Megan went above and beyond for our dogs! She easily cared for our puppy after a spay with special instructions for her incision. Our older dog loved every minute of her cuddles and we cannot wait to have her back! We appreciate her photos, updates, and clarifying questions to make sure our babies were well cared for. It was wonderful to have a night away with Megan in charge and we highly recommend her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tontitown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tontitown on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 549 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tontitown. 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 Tontitown 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 Tontitown 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 Tontitown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tontitown. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
