“Barnabas took great care of Max and Riley while we were away on a resent trip! He sent pictures and updates everyday so I did not worry about them at all! I have already booked him for our next trip! He is our go to guy!!!”
“Our dog seemed to love it there. I was a little worried how she would do with their dogs, but she did great. I received just the right amount of communication and pictures (for me). I will be using Elizabeth again.”
“Meagan and her family were so great to our Blu! She was very responsive, great at giving updates, and took him on walks. Blu struggles with allergies and she was so nice keeping us updated and was great about giving him Benadryl. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Jocelyn was so sweet and did amazing with my dogs! She sent updates and was accommodating with having to pick up my dogs late. Definitely recommend and would rebook!”
“Christy was able to watch our pup with short notice and was very accommodating with drop off / pick up times! She sent pics and videos throughout the weekend, and our dog looked like he had a blast. Would recommend having Christy watch your pup!”
“I can't say enough good things about Harriet. She is AMAZING!! we left our fur baby with her and her family for 10 days. Even though I missed him I NEVER worried about him knowing he was in good hands and well taken care of. She sent pics and videos everyday. Please use Harriet for your fur baby. She is absolutely wondfeful!”
“Fantastic! Cooper out golden retriever had a very nice stay, which put my mind at ease while we were on our trip. He now has a new friend named Toby , Emily’s golden.”
“Marissa did a great job taking care of my dog, and was very easy to communicate with. She provided updates and went above and beyond to make my very nervous dog feel more comfortable. Her dogs are also very friendly and tried their hardest to be friends with my shy puppy. Maybe next time my dog will play with them.”
“Poppy was so happy. She didn't want to go back home! That has never happened before, so she must have had an amazing time. I also appreciate the updates during the stay, just the right amount.”
“Stephen and his family were fantastic. They gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our pet was being taken care of. I will always look to see if he is available next time we are looking for a dog sitter. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Our golden stayed with Emily for a little over a week and had the best time! As soon as we pulled up to her house my golden ran to her door, which to me is a fantastic sign since our golden has a lot of anxiety. Emily sent many pictures and updates throughout our trip that I didn’t need to worry if she was having a good time. If we need to travel again we will definitely be rebooking!”
“Janet was amazing, going above a beyond our expectations of a dog sitter. As a late request, she was able to pick up/drop off our dogs from our house. While she was there, our cats (that she was not sitting) had a few accidents on our floor. While she was dropping my dogs off, she picked up the accidents that were made by our other animals. I would highly recommend her and her services!”
“Layne was the very first sitter we booked through Rover, and she made the whole experience wonderful. Our initial meet-and-greet went great, and while we were away, she sent daily updates with photos of Dean clearly having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and comfortable in her home. We’re so thankful for the care and attention she gave him, and we’d definitely book with her again!”
“Max was amazing. We dropped off our 3 month old puppy, Huevito, and were pretty anxious since he’s still so young and on a strict routine. Max immediately put us at ease by sending videos of Huevito and his own pup wrestling and playing in the yard. He followed Huevito’s schedule exactly as we’d laid it out, which was such a relief. It was clear Huevito had a great time - not just playing, but also learning how to be a good dog under Max’s care. He even helped desensitize Huevito to blow dryers so he won’t be scared at the groomer, and he kept up with his kennel training too. When we picked him up, he was freshly bathed with his nails clipped. Now that he’s back home with us, we can tell that he’s happy, tired, and clearly had a good time with Max.”

About: I grew up with cats so I know how to handle them, whether they want all the attention or want nothing to do with you. I currently have a cat at home so I'm used to their daily needs. I'll make sure your cat is fed, comfortable and loved while you're away!
About: Hi, I’m Cooper. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who loves both dogs and cats and understands how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, litter box care, medication reminders, or just calm company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and good at adjusting to each pet’s personality — energetic dogs, shy cats, senior pets, playful puppies, or animals who just need a little extra time to warm up. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and send updates so you always know how they’re doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and my goal is simple: your dog or cat gets loving, reliable care, and you get total peace of mind.
“Janet is an exceptional pet sitter. She’s communicative, reliable, and incredibly loving. Our elderly cat has specific needs and requires extra attention and she goes above and beyond. We’re so grateful to have found her! ⸻”
About: Heyyyy everyon, my name is Xinyi, feel free to call me Mei. I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and basic grooming. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m patient with shy or nervous pets. I always treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away! I work a regular weekday schedule but have flexibility before and after work, as well as on weekends. I can easily fit drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and playtime into my routine and will always make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need. I take pet safety very seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and home access. I’ll keep a close eye on your pet, respect their boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
“Thanks, Andru, for watching Riley again and taking such good care of him. Appreciate the care and concern you provide for him and the peace of mind that affords us when we travel. Highly recommended Andru!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and currently have 2 wonderful dogs that are very dog friendly. We have 2 acres for the dogs to roam I am a full time realtor and I write my own schedule. I can be flexible to your needs. I am open to various routines for multiple animals. I keep a very watchful eye on our animals as they share a space with our 4 daughters who also love animals. Our property is mostly fenced in and we are in a rural area.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my extensive experience and deep passion for dog care, particularly through my work with a second chance animal shelter. Fostering dogs has allowed me to develop a unique skill set that includes training puppies and providing specialized care for senior dogs. I understand the challenges and rewards of nurturing dogs from various backgrounds, and I am adept at creating individualized care plans that cater to their specific needs. My experience with fostering has also equipped me with patience and empathy, enabling me to build strong bonds with dogs, regardless of their past experiences. Additionally, I am knowledgeable about behavioral training techniques, which helps me instill good habits in puppies while also addressing any behavioral issues in older dogs. This blend of hands-on experience, training expertise, and a heartfelt commitment to animal welfare ensures that every dog in my care receives the love, attention, and tailored support they deserve. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is an essential aspect of my lifestyle that promotes both my well-being and that of my furry companion. Each morning begins with a refreshing walk, allowing my dog to enjoy the outdoors while kickstarting my day with exercise and fresh air. Throughout the week, I allocate specific times for feeding, play, and grooming, ensuring that my pet receives the attention and care it deserves. Additionally, every weekend is an opportunity for quality bonding time, whether it's a trip to the dog park or a leisurely hike together. Spending quality time with your pet not only enriches my daily life but also strengthens the special bond I share with dogs, making it a rewarding and fulfilling routine. Caring for pets in my home or my client's home revolves around three key pillars: safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. To ensure safety, I conduct a thorough examination of the living space to identify and remove any potential hazards, such as toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or unsafe areas where pets might escape. Building trust is equally crucial; I take the time to establish a positive relationship with the pets through gentle interactions, consistent routines, and recognizing their unique personalities and needs. This fosters a sense of security and comfort for them. Lastly, creating a suitable environment is vital; I ensure that pets have access to clean water, nutritious food, and cozy resting areas, while also providing stimulating toys and activities to keep them engaged. By prioritizing these aspects, I strive to provide a caring and supportive atmosphere that promotes the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care.
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She was able to watch my dog on short notice and took exceptional care of him!!! She was patient with me when I was slightly panicking because I was out of state and the person who was supposed to watch him cancelled. She made sure I didn’t have to worry about my dog and I knew he would be cared for properly. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: Cats have been in my family since I was a child. For the last twenty plus years, I have owned two cats. One lived to be twenty - one years old and the other kitty is still alive and is sixteen years old. Both cats have been important part of our family. One of my cats was very social and the boss of the house. She would tell my dogs what to do. The other kitty likes his own space and has stranger danger. He spends a lot of time in my bedroom where he feels safe. I truly enjoy spending time with cats. I know they each have their own personality. I understand some are social and playful, while others need more time to feel comfortable and warm up to new people. I'm patient, gentle and attentive to their individual needs. During each visit, I will make sure your kitty has fresh water, food and a clean litter box. I will offer plenty of loving attention, playtime, or quiet companionship. Whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I would love the opportunity to care for your cat and give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, comfortable and well cared for while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of many friends and family pets throughout the years. Each one with their different personalities and quirks and they’ve all been good boys and girls🩷💙 I am normally free from work after 3pm each afternoon so afternoon/evening stop ins are no problem! On Saturdays I am normally free all day! I will do my absolute best to follow each individual instruction for your pet to provide the best and most specified care for exactly what they need.
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were comfortable, especially my reactive dog. I’ve never had someone show such genuine care, consideration, and kindness. I truly appreciate everything she did, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Highly recommended!”
About: I grew up around large dogs, we even bred them and I enjoyed it very much as a child! Quite a challenge to care for puppies but so fun and rewarding. I often watch my friend’s dog when she leaves and always have a great time doing it. I understand the particular care one need to take when caring for dogs and safety all around is my priority. We are an active family and happy to take your fur baby along if appropriate. I have a flexible schedule and can especially accommodate weekends when pet owners are out of town for a few days. I can help with potty breaks during the day as well. Just contact me and we can discuss how I can accommodate you! The property I live in is large and can facilitate nice walks. There is no through traffic which makes it safe as well! I have baby gates that can be installed around the house to restrict certain areas based on the dog’s profile and behavior.

About: Hello, I own 6 ferrets, 2 cat's, a dog, a snake and a bird. I've owned animals my entire life and love all animals. Im a sucker for big dogs and especially Rottweiler's and Pit bulls. I don't mind house sitting and letting them out multiple times a day and walking them so they don't get to bored or lonely. I'm also happy to scoop litter boxes and play with cats or ferrets (I'm also a sucker for these little heathens). Also more than comfortable feeding any scaley friends.

“Five stars is not enough for me to rate Sarah's dog services. This is one amazing woman! It was important for me to find someone who cared as much for my dog as I did when I started looking. Without hesitation, I can say that Sarah is the kind of person I was hoping to meet. She is such a sweetheart! The care she gives to Brandy is so comforting. Sarah kept me informed about Brandy's progress by sending frequent updates! My dog was treated like she was her own! She let her play with her children, brought my dog out for walks, and played with her in the backyard. She showed no hesitation when I extended Brandy's stay, which kept me at ease. I cannot thank her and her family enough for treating my puppy like a member of the family. Brandy is so excited to go back!!”
“Harriet is an amazing pet sitter! She was kind, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Our puppy was happy and relaxed when we got home. She kept me updated and followed all instructions perfectly. I’d definitely trust her again! Thank you.”

About: I’m an animal lover. I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a cat or a dog as a best friend. I have taken care of friends and family members pets many times. Recently my neighbor’s 3 cats. I recently took in a rescue puppy who has needed a lot of love and care to recover from trauma. I am very patient and never push a scared or nervous pet. You know your pet better than anyone and I will always respect and abide by your direction. I have experience with medication as well. Training, feeding, grooming, play and walking are all ways they know I care for them. My pets get fed before I have my coffee every morning. Routine and schedules are more important to pets than we realize. That schedule keeps them comfortable and happy. I want to help keep that routine while you’re away so they and you are not stressed.
About: I have 3 years of hand on pet care experience as a dedicated dog owner, providing daily feeding, exercise, grooming, and attentive companionship. I’m also really good at teaching dogs new tricks 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day includes feeding on a consistent schedule, walks or exercise, playtime, and basic grooming, along with keeping their space clean and comfortable. Throughout the week, I make time for longer walks, extra enrichment activities, and monitoring their health and behavior to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I care for pets in a home by creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that matches their normal routine. I follow all owner instructions feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and any specific preferences to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure the space is secure (doors locked, no unsafe items within reach) and always supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I keep things clean by managing food areas, litter boxes, or waste, and I give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I worked as a dog walker and sitter for 3 years and had my own dog for 16. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, follow routines closely, and pay attention to behavior so things stay consistent and dogs feel settled. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day. I do teach yoga a few times a week, which takes me away for 2–3 hours at a time. Otherwise, I’m home and present with the dog. I’m in a single-family home with a large (partially fenced) backyard, though I prefer getting dogs out on walks rather than relying on the yard. I live near the Bentonville trails and greenway, so that’s where we go for longer walks - usually in search of the best sniffing spots. No other pets or children in the home. It’s a quiet, non-smoking space. Windows are usually open for fresh air, and there’s a big floor-to-ceiling window where dogs can hang out and watch the calm, quiet street. I’m flexible between sitting at my place or yours, and I can accommodate a crate if needed.
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life, I grew up with 15 dogs on 3 acres. I have never not owned a dog with my senior pit coming up on 17 years with me.

I live on 5 acres away from all main streets and a private drive for plenty of running space. I have converted my shed into a climate controlled dog house that has a fenced in area for the runners but if you prefer them to be inside I have plenty of space.

About: My profile says eight years experience. That reflects the time I have been in Northwest Arkansas and periodically taking care of my Granddogs Rock and River, and my neighbor's dog Lucy. Periodically, since a kid, have cared for all kinds of pets including blind and sick cats, and stray dogs. I am reliable, disciplined and pay attention to detail. if I am in your home I guarantee to take care of it and leave it in as good or better shape than I found it. I am very fit and active for my age and enjoy walking dogs. They get their steps in and I do too. It's win, win! Honestly, it hasn't fit into my routine "daily or weekly" mainly lately because I haven't had a fence up around my home and had been working full-time. Normally have cared for my neighbors dog Lucy across the street. They appreciate the fact that I can stay there with her all night and for extended periods as she is recovering from surgery. Now that I have my fence up I will be able to also offer boarding for select animals.
“Amber took such great care of my THREE! doggos. She handled them all well and was able to manage the somewhat hectic walking and notes and harnesses, etc. 😀. I got updates and pics and would definitely have her walk my pups again! They can be a handful, and she managed them with no issues. Thank you, Amber!”

I have a fenced in area for the dogs and also lots of space to walk and get exercise. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I can also easily crate the dogs if needed.
About: Hi my name is kalee! I’ve been taking care of animals since 6 years old also horses and chickens since 16. I’ve also worked at a couple of animal facilities such as Williamsburg Pet Hotel & Suites in Ballwin, MO and The Watering Bowl in Mehlville, MO. I can also grind nails, clean teeth, ears also bathe. I’d be the perfect candidate for your furry friend to make them feel comfortable and happy. I currently am looking into owning my own business for an animal facility. I have open availability so if you’re looking for a dog walker or sitter I’m your person. I currently stay at in Garfield, Arkansas, so I would have to come to your house or do drop in visits when dog sitting I would do whatever it takes to make you and your animals happy.
About: Hey everyone! I've been helping take care of dogs and cats since I was young. I love animals and I have a special bond with them; especially cats. Don't get me wrong I love dogs too! Lol. I have 3 cats of my own. If given the opportunity, I would treat your fur babies like they were mine and do the best job possible. Hope to hear from you soon! I do have a full time job but I am committed to taking on more work as much as I'm allowed. I have 3 cats that I care for daily. I would carefully read over any care instructions that were left for me and properly ensure that the animal was cared for. I would also make sure to give them love and attention.

“Oreo had a wonderful 10 days with Clarence. He shared daily updates with videos and voiceover which was amazing. Highly recommended and would love to leave Oreo again some time.”
“Barnabas took great care of Max and Riley while we were away on a resent trip! He sent pictures and updates everyday so I did not worry about them at all! I have already booked him for our next trip! He is our go to guy!!!”
“Our dog seemed to love it there. I was a little worried how she would do with their dogs, but she did great. I received just the right amount of communication and pictures (for me). I will be using Elizabeth again.”
“Jocelyn was so sweet and did amazing with my dogs! She sent updates and was accommodating with having to pick up my dogs late. Definitely recommend and would rebook!”
“Christy was able to watch our pup with short notice and was very accommodating with drop off / pick up times! She sent pics and videos throughout the weekend, and our dog looked like he had a blast. Would recommend having Christy watch your pup!”
“Fantastic! Cooper out golden retriever had a very nice stay, which put my mind at ease while we were on our trip. He now has a new friend named Toby , Emily’s golden.”
“Marissa did a great job taking care of my dog, and was very easy to communicate with. She provided updates and went above and beyond to make my very nervous dog feel more comfortable. Her dogs are also very friendly and tried their hardest to be friends with my shy puppy. Maybe next time my dog will play with them.”
“Poppy was so happy. She didn't want to go back home! That has never happened before, so she must have had an amazing time. I also appreciate the updates during the stay, just the right amount.”
“Stephen and his family were fantastic. They gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our pet was being taken care of. I will always look to see if he is available next time we are looking for a dog sitter. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Our golden stayed with Emily for a little over a week and had the best time! As soon as we pulled up to her house my golden ran to her door, which to me is a fantastic sign since our golden has a lot of anxiety. Emily sent many pictures and updates throughout our trip that I didn’t need to worry if she was having a good time. If we need to travel again we will definitely be rebooking!”
“Layne was the very first sitter we booked through Rover, and she made the whole experience wonderful. Our initial meet-and-greet went great, and while we were away, she sent daily updates with photos of Dean clearly having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and comfortable in her home. We’re so thankful for the care and attention she gave him, and we’d definitely book with her again!”
“Max was amazing. We dropped off our 3 month old puppy, Huevito, and were pretty anxious since he’s still so young and on a strict routine. Max immediately put us at ease by sending videos of Huevito and his own pup wrestling and playing in the yard. He followed Huevito’s schedule exactly as we’d laid it out, which was such a relief. It was clear Huevito had a great time - not just playing, but also learning how to be a good dog under Max’s care. He even helped desensitize Huevito to blow dryers so he won’t be scared at the groomer, and he kept up with his kennel training too. When we picked him up, he was freshly bathed with his nails clipped. Now that he’s back home with us, we can tell that he’s happy, tired, and clearly had a good time with Max.”
“Rebecca was a fantastic match for my sweet Bernedoodle! She was very communicative which really put my mind at ease. If I’m ever in the area again, I might make up an excuse for my pup to spend some time with Rebecca again!”
“We appreciate Courtney and Keith taking care of our pups while we were out of town for a couple weeks! Very responsive and sent pictures when requested. Will definitely be using them again for future needs!”
“Chanel took wonderful care of Mila! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with lots of photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Mila was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I really appreciated her communication and the love and attention she gave my dog. I would absolutely book with Chanel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
