Highly-rated overnight sitters - Fort Smith
“Alexander was wonderful, very good with our dogs and very patient as our little Cooper is a handful. He kept in touch with us and sent pictures. We were very well pleased with his services will definitely use again when needed.”
“Bear was so happy to stay with Courtney and Colton, and spend time with their animals! Courtney and Colton were amazing. They with definitely be who we choose to watch our animals!!!”
“Not sure where to start. I’ve been very nervous about leaving my 8 month old boxer with anyone. She’s a rescue, she’s skiddish at times, we aren’t sure of her history, whether she’s been hit, yelled at, punished, or abused in any way. We wanted her treated like we treat her; she’s one of our babies. I immediately felt at easy when we met Ally, Chole was at ease, it was so easy for us to leave her with Ally. We knew getting a puppy was going to keep us from our travel plans unless we took her with us because Chole freaks out in her crate if left alone. We now feel that if we want to travel we have found our person. Chole was entertained and got the attention she demands from you. Easy drop off and easy pickup. I’ll definitely recommend and use Ally again!”
“Sarah was incredible. She kept me up to date with my kitty and was so responsive and helpful at every moment. I never do reviews like this but Sarah absolutely wow’d me with how excellent and involved she was. I implore anyone with an animal to give her some business!”
“Brandy did an amazing job with our 7 month cavapoo! During the 3 night stay, Brandy send updates, photos and videos of Nala! And as a bonus, Nala made a new friend, her dog Aqua! We will be boarding with Brandy on future travels!”
“Justin was great. I had a friend cancel at the last minute and Justin helped me out big time. I had never used Rover before but heard good things about them and am sure glad I did try it. Justin took great care of my 2 dogs. He kept me up to date on them amd always answered my messages in a timely manner. I would recommend Justin to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dogs. Fantastic. Will definitely book with him again my best trip”

I can’t provide potty breaks on lunch and more! I have a fenced in yard and three dogs of my own to keep yours company! I can also kennel your pup if needed during times I am away.

Their bowls were washed and she even gave them a bath to come home!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cheryl to anyone who wants the absolute BEST love and care for their baby!!! My babies had an AMAZING VACATION while I was gone!!! Thank You for the experience Cheryl ?”

“Emily is such a great cat sitter! She not only took great care of our cat, but went above and beyond by helpings us with an impromptu visit to make sure our cat would be okay when our flight was delayed. She stands out from previous sitters, as it’s clear that she genuinely likes cats, is responsible, and detail oriented. Emily will be my go-to the next time our cat needs care!”
“Kayla has been wonderful with my 2 dogs. It was a busy schedule of 2xs daily visits and groomer drop off. She was there every day playing with them or soothing them through the thunderstorm. She has fed them meticulously with the multitude of additions that they get daily. The pictures showed them being very happy everytime. I am so glad I found her on Rover!”
“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah has been great! She took care of a total of four cats which belonged to me and my friend. She is very friendly with the cats, sent timely photos and videos (which was a relief), understood the needs of our pets and understands the traditional as well as modern cat appliances which was a plus. Had a truly amazing experience.”

About: Hello!! My name is Haylee Talbert and I am 22. I currently attend Arkansas Colleges of Health Education and I am studying a doctorate of occupational therapy.

I would love to care for your animals! :) My schedule is a little different every week, but I would love to pick up some animal care jobs when available! Feel free to ask about my availability.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up with both dogs and horses helped build a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and daily care. Today, I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time outdoors with them, especially hiking and staying active. Pet sitting for friends has also provided opportunities to care for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits every day except Saturday. I can accommodate mornings, afternoons, or times that best fit your pet’s routine. Whether your fur baby needs a quick check-in, feeding, or some playtime, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As an Air Force veteran, I bring discipline, reliability, and attention to detail to every visit. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure pets are secure, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. During drop-in visits, I can take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and even watering plants or collecting mail. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away. Even though visits take place in your home, I treat each environment with respect and make sure your pets feel relaxed and comfortable in their own space.

“Alexander was wonderful, very good with our dogs and very patient as our little Cooper is a handful. He kept in touch with us and sent pictures. We were very well pleased with his services will definitely use again when needed.”
“Bear was so happy to stay with Courtney and Colton, and spend time with their animals! Courtney and Colton were amazing. They with definitely be who we choose to watch our animals!!!”
“Not sure where to start. I’ve been very nervous about leaving my 8 month old boxer with anyone. She’s a rescue, she’s skiddish at times, we aren’t sure of her history, whether she’s been hit, yelled at, punished, or abused in any way. We wanted her treated like we treat her; she’s one of our babies. I immediately felt at easy when we met Ally, Chole was at ease, it was so easy for us to leave her with Ally. We knew getting a puppy was going to keep us from our travel plans unless we took her with us because Chole freaks out in her crate if left alone. We now feel that if we want to travel we have found our person. Chole was entertained and got the attention she demands from you. Easy drop off and easy pickup. I’ll definitely recommend and use Ally again!”
“Sarah was incredible. She kept me up to date with my kitty and was so responsive and helpful at every moment. I never do reviews like this but Sarah absolutely wow’d me with how excellent and involved she was. I implore anyone with an animal to give her some business!”
“Brandy did an amazing job with our 7 month cavapoo! During the 3 night stay, Brandy send updates, photos and videos of Nala! And as a bonus, Nala made a new friend, her dog Aqua! We will be boarding with Brandy on future travels!”
“Justin was great. I had a friend cancel at the last minute and Justin helped me out big time. I had never used Rover before but heard good things about them and am sure glad I did try it. Justin took great care of my 2 dogs. He kept me up to date on them amd always answered my messages in a timely manner. I would recommend Justin to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dogs. Fantastic. Will definitely book with him again my best trip”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need endless playtime to senior pups who just want a cozy nap buddy. I grew up around animals, and I know every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite toys. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping their tails wagging while you’re away, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. ❤️ I’m currently working 9-5 but always have time during the day to take care of your pups! I can’t provide potty breaks on lunch and more! I have a fenced in yard and three dogs of my own to keep yours company! I can also kennel your pup if needed during times I am away.
