Personalized care for your dog or cat - Abco
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Abco
“They were very accommodating to a very short notice overnight boarding. They sent me updates and pictures throughout Piper’s stay and she was very happy and tired whenever I picked her up. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be contacting them. 😊”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our Nola with Hannah and her family. It speaks volumes when you pull up to a house and your dog walks with a wagging tail that moves her entire back half. Hannah kept us updated on Nola's eating habits and sent plenty of adorable pictures. We will definitely continue to book with her and highly recommend her as a sitter! 😊”
“Britnney was awesome! Very kind and hospitable to us and our 2 dogs. Both of our dogs take medication. She asked all the right questions about how to administer them properly! Her home was clean and beautiful with a fenced yard. We would highly recommend using her for dog sitting! 10 out of 10! ?”
“Cindy was amazing and very accomodating for a last minute day board. She allowed me to drop them at 7am and pick up at 11:30am so I could relax at the spa. Will 100% use her again. Lovely people. Her and her mom.”
“Melena was wonderful with Peewee. She sent photo updates regularly to let me know how he was settling in. I will definitely book again, I think he really enjoyed making friends. Thank you again!!”
“Kalina was very friendly and responsive. She kept me updated with text messages and videos. She asked questions and answered all of mine. I had no worries during Lucy's stay.”
About: Hi there! I’m a dog loving gal for all the doggies in the world. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve bottle fed my dog personally until he could have puppy food. I started dog sitting for family three years ago and have done it ever since! Now, I’m excited to welcome your furry friend into my furry family! I’m currently between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to help you or your furry friends with anything you need for a safe, fun and loving experience! I have two furry family members with vastly different sizes and personalities. Despite their differences, they all require the same amount of love, but they have distinct needs. I treat my furry friends like children, and I’m sure you’ll want the same for yours!
“This was my first time using Rover since my Vet was booked, I came across Julissa and she was very flexible with my last minute needs and flexible with my drop off and pick up times. She provided updates as needed along with photos of playtime, walks and was very responsive when I wanted to check in on my pup. Hopefully she will let us come back if needed! 😊”
“I felt comfortable leaving my boys with Lesa. They liked her from the moment they saw her and I know that they were well taken care of. I will probably seek her help again the next time I leave town!”
“Francisca was amazing. We traveled from Memphis, TN to Hot Springs AR. To enjoy a day at the waterpark. She was very kind enough to meet us to pick up our fur babies to help us save time and gas. Thank you so much and I hope we criss paths again!”
“Kenzie eased our anxiety about leaving our one year old pup. This was our first time to use Rover and we we really appreciate her daily updates and pictures and videos. She was very responsive and we look forward to asking her to pup sit for us again”
“Sherri was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures on the many adventures she took Aurora. Her dog Indie is so sweet and seemed to be a great companion for Aurora. We would definitely recommend Sherri and Indie”
“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I raised my dog Rocky from when he was a puppy, so I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages. I’ve pet sit many times before learning about Rover. Every pet is different, and I’m prepared to do my best to meet your pet’s individual needs. I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment. Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.
“Andrew and his family took great care of our dog Ginger while we were away for the weekend. When we came back, she was tired and wiped out (which is good for our hyper dog). He responds promptly and is flexible with many requests. His hours of operation were a huge plus for us. Your dog is in great hands with this man and his business.”
“Our dog had a blast with Joanne. She was happily exhausted after pickup, from running around the farm and with new friends. We have already booked future stays with Joanne and feel very comfortable with her care.”
“Best Rover experience ever! Our dog immediately loved Rebekah and William and they sent multiple pictures every day. She loved their backyard and got to relax on the furniture if she wanted… we just know she had the best time. Total peace of mind for us, too.”
“She is very punctual and accommodating. She went out of her way in the cold weather to make sure it is easier for us to drop off and pick up our dog. Amazing is not enough! I definitely recommend her.”

“Olivia took excellent care of our fur-babies. Since we live in an RV it’s a very unique set-up. She came by, in advance, to meet the pets, learn the setup and routine. She took a photo of our particular light setting to make sure she knew exactly what to do. We got updates and photos. We will DEFINITELY schedule Olivia, again!!”
About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)
“Absolutely perfect experience. Brooke was so communicative and made our first trip from our farm in 2 years 100% stress-free. We got pictures daily and texts when everything was complete. We cannot thank her enough!!!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my entire life and understand their unique personalities, needs, and quirks. From playful kittens to senior cats, I provide patient, loving care tailored to each cat’s comfort. I’m experienced with feeding routines, administering medications, and, yes, I actually don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes! I know how special cats are, and I treat every feline like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“My doggies loved Amanda and she was so great with them! I was so pleased when she came by and met them prior to dates of service so they could be familiar with her. I was shocked how much they trusted her. She took great care of them and was so loving and kind. She did great with taking pictures and updating us on how they were doing. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of them myself in house basically my whole life. I love cuddling with my dogs and don't mind them laying beside me on furniture. I have trained lots of puppies potty duties and crate training. I have had a bunch of senior dogs. I am a nurse by trade, so if your fur baby needs meds, I am definitely the one who can give it to them! I can't wait to meet your baby! I am currently retired nurse who stays home basically all the time. If I do have to leave, it is usually only for a couple of hours. I do not have a fully fenced yard, but I do have a fenced area behind the house that I can put the fur babies in to do their business and get some exercise. If they do not need to be contained, I have 5 acres that they can run and play.
About: I’m a dog lover and happy to offer my services to an important member of your family! I have a labradoodle that craves play dates and loves to run. training my dog by providing positive reinforcement and building trust, I consider myself a dog whisperer!

You want your dog to be taken care of by someone that will provide safety and fun, exercise and relaxation. I’d like to provide your dog a fun experience with me! I also think consistency with the same Dog Sitters builds trust. I work 15 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to take good care of your pet! It’s important for our dogs to live their best life 🐾 I like to make sure your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. I go to dog parks such as Draper Park, Tanner and Crestwood Park, Willow Creek and Run-A-Muk Dog Park. I’m a retired veteran and I have an open schedule. With advanced notice and a couple of meet and greets, we can work out the details custom tailored to your family needs. I’m able to meet the specific needs of your dog! With consistency from me, your dog will quickly feel safe and supported. I want your dog to feel relaxed and happy!
“What can I say? Anastasiia won my cat, Julie's heart over. Julie does not like people, traveling or being alone so you can imagine the predicament. During our first meeting, Anastasiia walked in and Julie investigated, and let her be petted, immediately. I knew at that point. During my trip, Anastasiia sent updates and pictures of Julie playing and basking outside. I didn't have to worry about what was happening at home. If you are looking for a pet whisperer, Anastasiia is your sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule. I let them out when they want out, play when they want to play, and clean up any mess so that the client comes back to a just as clean or cleaner house and pets
“Destiny is wonderful. She took great care of my 3 babies. I hadnt used the Rover app before but Destiny made me feel comfortable from the very first meeting. I highly recommend her to all. If you want someone to love your pups as her own then let Destiny take care of them for you.”
About: I grew up with cats. I rescued Hidey a few years ago, a grey kitten who was very shy but is now quite outgoing. I cat-sat through college and am hoping to get back into it. I've had experience with shy cats, lap cats, lazy cats, and cats that get the zoomies and bounce around the room. When I stop by I’ll make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and try to play with them or cuddle them if they’re interested. Would love to play or snuggle with your cat or check on your shy cat from afar.
About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always

I love being outdoors — we can stay active with trips to the park, long walks, or a good game of fetch in the yard.

We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play ball in the yard, take trips to the park, or simply relax together.

All dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable — whether that’s curled up with the family, on their own bed, or in a kennel. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

One of the biggest advantages that offer is my highly flexible schedule. Because I manage my own professional workload with a great deal of independence, my time is exceptionally adaptable. I am not confined to a rigid 9-5 office environment, which means your pet will never be an afterthought! I am able to dedicate significant blocks of time throughout the day to supervising, walking, and playing with your fur baby. You can rest easy knowing they will receive frequent potty breaks, constant companionship, and individualized attention. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and become their favorite home-away-from-home! Please feel free to reach out with any questions to schedule a meet-and-greet. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various shapes, sizes and personalities. From energetic puppies who need consistent routine and positive reinforcement to general seniors who require a softer touch and careful medication management. I've managed it all. I am incredibly intuitive when it comes to animal behavior, ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet.
About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)
“Brooke has been great with my pup Hyde. She took for a walk, played with him and gave him lots of love. She sent me a lot of pictures from the walked. I loved seeing my puppy so happy!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of them myself in house basically my whole life. I love cuddling with my dogs and don't mind them laying beside me on furniture. I have trained lots of puppies potty duties and crate training. I have had a bunch of senior dogs. I am a nurse by trade, so if your fur baby needs meds, I am definitely the one who can give it to them! I can't wait to meet your baby! I am currently retired nurse who stays home basically all the time. If I do have to leave, it is usually only for a couple of hours. I do not have a fully fenced yard, but I do have a fenced area behind the house that I can put the fur babies in to do their business and get some exercise. If they do not need to be contained, I have 5 acres that they can run and play.
“Leah is an outstanding dog walker. She easily handled not one but two dogs that are XL. Cassie & D'Artangnan's combine weight is nearly 200lbs! I prefer that they are walked together as that is how I normally do with them, before I injured my knee. Leah was eager to try it the 1st day, and did an amazing walk handling then simultaneously, that is not easy because one walks quickly & the other has a slower pace. She is loving and thoughtful with the dogs and takes incredible pictures. I Highly recommend her for dog walking and plan on hiring her for dog sitting as well.”
About: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule. I let them out when they want out, play when they want to play, and clean up any mess so that the client comes back to a just as clean or cleaner house and pets
About: I am a very responsible and loving pet owner. Growing up around cats and dogs my entire life, I understand that each pet has their own unique needs. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. :) I am currently a med student, so my schedule is very flexible. I hope to work with you to best meet you and your pets needs. I currently have two cats, so providing care for your pet in my home may not be the best option depending on your pets comfort level. If I were to care for your pet in your home, I will respect your home and ensure your pet is cared for in any way needed.
“There are never enough words! We were so lucky to have such quality care from Destiny. In a time when we truly needed the most for our two babies. She made sure that our girls got the best care and we got so lucky to receive so many great images of our babies having fun on their midday walks. 10/10 Destiny is your go-to call for 5 star care!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10.I have taken care of friends animals such as playing and walking and feeding I spend time with them so they aren't alone for long periods I am currently working part time in benton! I have off on mondays and Wednesday every week and my shifts are usually 4-6 hrs and sometimes 8 hrs Also my schedule changes every week (so if your pet needs to be let out every 4 or hours I will need probably a 2 week notice before the booking would start!) I have availability during the week and weekends for long or short bookings! Love watching dogs and cats and spending time with them I watch them in their home. I take them for walks and let them outside to use the bathroom. I give them food and fresh water for cats and dogs I also let them run and play in their backyards
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. The availability I have is on weekends and after 4 pm on weekdays, available holidays. Stay overnight and accept long-term stays (longer than one week). I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
“STOP. If you’re wondering whether to book Samantha, YES. She stepped in last minute for Riot. Her energy, her care, her updates… everything was next-level Samantha SAVED MY DAY! Riot was so happy on her walk and the photos she sent were adorable. 10/10 She’s incredible! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“They were very accommodating to a very short notice overnight boarding. They sent me updates and pictures throughout Piper’s stay and she was very happy and tired whenever I picked her up. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be contacting them. 😊”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our Nola with Hannah and her family. It speaks volumes when you pull up to a house and your dog walks with a wagging tail that moves her entire back half. Hannah kept us updated on Nola's eating habits and sent plenty of adorable pictures. We will definitely continue to book with her and highly recommend her as a sitter! 😊”
“Cindy was amazing and very accomodating for a last minute day board. She allowed me to drop them at 7am and pick up at 11:30am so I could relax at the spa. Will 100% use her again. Lovely people. Her and her mom.”
“Melena was wonderful with Peewee. She sent photo updates regularly to let me know how he was settling in. I will definitely book again, I think he really enjoyed making friends. Thank you again!!”
“Kalina was very friendly and responsive. She kept me updated with text messages and videos. She asked questions and answered all of mine. I had no worries during Lucy's stay.”
About: Hi there! I’m a dog loving gal for all the doggies in the world. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve bottle fed my dog personally until he could have puppy food. I started dog sitting for family three years ago and have done it ever since! Now, I’m excited to welcome your furry friend into my furry family! I’m currently between jobs, so I have plenty of free time to help you or your furry friends with anything you need for a safe, fun and loving experience! I have two furry family members with vastly different sizes and personalities. Despite their differences, they all require the same amount of love, but they have distinct needs. I treat my furry friends like children, and I’m sure you’ll want the same for yours!
“This was my first time using Rover since my Vet was booked, I came across Julissa and she was very flexible with my last minute needs and flexible with my drop off and pick up times. She provided updates as needed along with photos of playtime, walks and was very responsive when I wanted to check in on my pup. Hopefully she will let us come back if needed! 😊”
“Francisca was amazing. We traveled from Memphis, TN to Hot Springs AR. To enjoy a day at the waterpark. She was very kind enough to meet us to pick up our fur babies to help us save time and gas. Thank you so much and I hope we criss paths again!”
“Kenzie eased our anxiety about leaving our one year old pup. This was our first time to use Rover and we we really appreciate her daily updates and pictures and videos. She was very responsive and we look forward to asking her to pup sit for us again”
“Sherri was great! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures on the many adventures she took Aurora. Her dog Indie is so sweet and seemed to be a great companion for Aurora. We would definitely recommend Sherri and Indie”
“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I raised my dog Rocky from when he was a puppy, so I’m experienced in caring for pets of all ages. I’ve pet sit many times before learning about Rover. Every pet is different, and I’m prepared to do my best to meet your pet’s individual needs. I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment. Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.
“Our dog had a blast with Joanne. She was happily exhausted after pickup, from running around the farm and with new friends. We have already booked future stays with Joanne and feel very comfortable with her care.”
“Best Rover experience ever! Our dog immediately loved Rebekah and William and they sent multiple pictures every day. She loved their backyard and got to relax on the furniture if she wanted… we just know she had the best time. Total peace of mind for us, too.”
“She is very punctual and accommodating. She went out of her way in the cold weather to make sure it is easier for us to drop off and pick up our dog. Amazing is not enough! I definitely recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.
“Destiny was very kind. She watched our dog Oreo and it was the first time we’ve ever left our dog with someone. However, Destiny made Oreo feel comfortable and it was a pleasant experience. We will be using her services again in the future.”
