“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!”

About: I’m a University of Arkansas graduate and a lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has become a big part of my life. I have my own dog, who I got after graduating, and for the past 8+ months I’ve been fostering dogs in need through Big Paws of the Ozarks. Fostering has given me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, ages, and needs, including shelter dogs who may be nervous, stressed, or adjusting to a new environment. I’ve become very comfortable introducing new dogs into my home and helping them adjust to both me and my own dog, which is especially important when boarding. Fostering has also taught me to recognize canine body language and cues, so I’m able to tell when a dog is stressed, tired, overstimulated, or simply needs some space or a break. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to meet each dog where they are—whether that means lots of playtime and walks or giving a nervous or senior pup a little extra time and care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, runs, playtime, and snuggles, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. I have two extra bedrooms, so I can give each dog their own comfortable space at night if they prefer to sleep in a crate or have some quiet time. I’m also happy to let dogs sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to. My priority is always making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and supervised, while also making sure their interactions with my dog are positive.
“Kindell was amazing. We were out of state for two weeks and she cared for our boy as if he were her own. He went on field trips with his new friends and Kindell sent us pictures to keep us updated on how our boy was doing. We'll definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“I was so happy to meet Joe and his girl Ace. Ginger seem at home. What was an even bigger relief was that Newt wasn't in hiding. We received a picture of Newt and Ace very casually in each other presence. Thank you Joe for taking care of our babies.”
“Lawrence, was absolutely fantastic went above and beyond any expectation I could’ve asked for. I would highly recommend anybody using him for a dog sitter. We absolutely loved him..”
“We really appreciated having Sharon watch Koko. She was great about sending pictures and letting us know how our dog baby was doing. We really enjoy our trip because we didn't have to worry we knew that our dog was in a loving home.”

“Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter and was so accommodating and helpful. She went above and beyond, and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about the pets. Would definitely book her services again!”
About: I adopted my sweet girls Lizzy and Georgie a year and a half ago, and they have filled my life with love ever since. Adopting them as older kittens has allowed me “parent” them through different life stages, and I think it’s safe to say I know wayyy more about the various kinds of mischief they can get into now! A librarian by profession, I love researching cats and cat care, as I only want the best for my girls. I want the best for your kitties, too! I am passionate about helping keep kitty spaces up to their high standards of cleanliness for maximum comfort, and about creative, stimulating playtime for cats of all ages.
About: I have always had a love for dogs. I have worked at multiple different kennels and worked with multiple different dogs. Can administer medications if needed. I know how stressful it can be trying to find a reliable sitter, but I am here to help! I currently am not employed, so my availability is very open right now. Willing to do boarding in your home on weekends or weekdays as needed. Available to do potty breaks anytime of the day! I think dogs do best in familiar environments as well as with familiar people. I would love to watch your dog in your home, or swing by for potty breaks after meeting the dog a few times prior.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 5 years and have experience with cats of all ages and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every cat like one of my own. I have my own cat, Bentley, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always had a huge soft spot for cats, especially strays. If I come across a stray that needs help, I’ll always stop to leave out food or water if I can. Caring for animals has always been something I’m truly passionate about. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, following special feeding routines, and caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to keep to themselves, I’ll be patient, respectful of their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: I’ve always loved cats and wanted one ever since I was young, and when I made it to college I was finally able to fulfill that dream and adopt my first cat, Walter, who was just barely a year old when I took him in. Raising Walter has been a truly wonderful experience- I’ve loved getting to learn what kind of food works for him, what toys he prefers, when and where he likes to sleep, everything about him. That’s the thing about cats; they can be a little skittish or scratch you, but oftentimes they just need patience, love, and the right attitude. Aside from raising Walter, I’ve also helped watch friends’ cats over the past two years, including a senior cat who needed a little extra love. It’s important to me that any kitty I get to meet gets the best care possible!
“Blake was awesome! Such a nice human and was very responsive, responsible, punctual and reliable during his time with Scarlett. He had recurring visits with her for a week before moving away otherwise we would have continued care with him!”
“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”
About: I've had cats and dogs since I was a child. In adulthood, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I have two cats of my own and am a lover of all creatures. I'm currently on Summer leave from my job in academia. My flexible schedule gives me time to spoil my own cats and plenty of time to come and care for yours! I am very gentle with pets. I am keen on their communication and want to ensure they are cared for. I prize cleanliness, promptness and being attentive to their needs.
About: Hello! I am Abby! I am available anytime of the day for your cats needs. I had 3 cats growing up Milkyway, Ashes, and Emmy. They were so fluffy and I loved cuddling them! I know all cats are different and I will accommodate according. Can't wait to meet your fur baby!
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attentiveness, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” pets — I learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience with small and senior dogs, including my own 12-year-old mini poodle, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, medication routines, mobility support, and calming anxious pups. I understand that older dogs and shy pets need a slower pace, consistency, and lots of reassurance — and that’s exactly what I provide. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in calm, capable hands. Whether your dog is playful, timid, energetic, or just wants to nap next to someone kind, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. 🐾 I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, medication, and potty breaks on a consistent routine. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening care, I plan my time so your pet's needs always come first. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so I can provide calm, consistent care. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and double-check doors, gates, and leashes to keep everything secure. In my home, pets are treated like family in a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of structure, play, rest, and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel confident and connected while you're away.
About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was young, and I currently share my home with three cats of my own. Living with multiple cats has given me experience understanding different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm dedicated to providing patient, reliable care so your cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: I love animals and have had dogs my entire life, I have had mainly medium to large dogs, along with a Great Pyrenees dog. I love getting to play and love on new dogs because they are so sweet. Dogs really are mans best friend. I personally have trained puppies very successfully with potty training and telling me when they need to go outside. I have plenty of dog toys at my home but dogs can always bring their own too. I am use to walking dogs for a long time my dog has a lot of energy so most of our walks are about 45 mins minimum. I can also handle watching or walking multiple dogs at a time so if you need more than one dog walked at a time I can do that also.
“Gabby and Dalton did a fantastic job taking care of my chickens and cats. They were reliable, attentive, and made sure all the animals were well-fed, safe, and happy. They also kept us updated every step of the way. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing caring and trustworthy pet sitters!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Strickler
“Tracy was great, took great care of Bracken, and sent updates throughout the day! She was nice enough to accept our request last minute. We will definitely bring Bracken back!”
“Becca was super knowledgeable and extremely conscientious about what was appropriate for my puppy, Ripley. We had Becca watch her for two days and although our 5.5 month old had never been left with anyone else, and is generally stand-offish, she ran to Becca full of wiggles and smiles on day two!! We were only visiting, so the care was extra appreciated and made it possible for us to do a few activities that we would have otherwise had to miss. It was a wonderful experience and a win-win for our whole pack!”
“Lark was great with my pups! She was very accommodating and helped me out when one of them wasn't feeling well during their stay. She sent lots of pictures and made my pups feel at home.”
“Christopher took good care of my dog and cat while I visited the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville. He provided a cool place for my 19 year old cat to relax and 2 sweet dogs for my young cattle dog to play with. I’d definitely use him again when I visit Bentonville.”
About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!
About: I am a 8 year pet owner who’s taken care of family and friends pets. They’ll be cared for, walked, fed, and loved by me and my lovable dog. I currently work remote, full-time and can adjust with any given schedule. I am available anytime, so please set your appointment up now while times are open.

About: Hi, I’m Natalie! Animals have been a huge part of my life, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. When I was 22, I rescued a sweet English Setter who was severely underweight and battling both heartworms and ringworm. With patience, love, and consistent care, I nursed him back to full health. He’ll be 10 years old this December, and he’s truly my best friend. That experience taught me how to be attentive, patient, and dependable with pets in all conditions—and it deepened my passion for caring for animals. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or needs a little extra TLC, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I’m generally available mornings, evenings, and most weekends. This allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting depending on your needs. Typical Week: • Monday–Friday: Early mornings (before 9 AM) and evenings (after 5 PM). • Weekends: Open availability, including full days and overnight stays. • Overnights: Available most nights with advance notice. Flexibility: If you need coverage outside of these times, please reach out—I try my best to adjust for each family’s schedule. I am available in a certain radius. I have a full time job as well located in Rogers, Ar. I am willing to travel into work up to 40 mins. Thank you! • Over 9 years of personal experience caring for my English Setter • Comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities • Experienced in feeding, walking, playtime, and following special care routines • Familiar with medication administration and supporting pets with health needs • House sitting experience—keeping both pets and homes safe and cared for • Daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care in your home • Consistent updates and photos so you always feel connected • Respectful, reliable, and attentive care for your pets and your home
“Ava was amazing and took great care of my dog. Communication was easy, and I could tell my pup was comfortable and well cared for. If you are looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable Rover sitter, I highly recommend her. We will definitely be back!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a very flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love being outdoors and spending time walking, playing, and exploring with dogs. I live on acreage with plenty of open space and private trails where your dog can get lots of exercise and fresh air. I’m happy to walk dogs leashed or unleashed—whatever you prefer and feel most comfortable with. If your dog is more of a couch potato than an athlete, that’s perfectly fine too! I have plenty of experience with older, calm, and low-energy pets and am happy to match whatever pace fits your dog’s personality—whether that’s an adventure walk or just relaxing together at home. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they get the attention and routine they need. Communication is a top priority for me. You’ll receive frequent updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected while you’re away. Please note: I don’t stay overnight at clients’ homes, but I’m happy to offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and extended daytime visits. I look forward to caring for your furry family member! With a flexible daily schedule, I can give your dog consistent care and companionship instead of rushing in and out. Your pet will always be a priority in my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I am reliable, responsible, follow instructions carefully, and always treat every dog like my own.

About: Hi, fellow dog moms and dads! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I work remotely, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will enjoy plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles throughout the day. I intentionally keep a limited number of boarding dogs so each guest receives individualized attention and care. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I may care for multiple dogs at once, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs simply need a quiet break. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing in a crate for short periods when needed. I also feed dogs separately to help prevent resource guarding and ensure everyone can eat safely and stress-free. Every dog is different, so I tailor enrichment to their personality and energy level, whether that’s fetch, puzzle toys, snuffle mats, frozen treats (with owner approval), or other engaging activities. I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds (such as English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs) and understand the extra precautions they require regarding heat, breathing, and activity levels. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, providing slower-paced walks, gentle routines, medication administration when needed, and the extra patience and monitoring they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’m Pet First Aid and CPR certified through the American Red Cross and keep fully stocked pet first aid kits both at home and in my vehicle. ✨ Optional Spa Add-Ons (Boarding Guests) * Bath (short-haired dogs) * Brushing * Teeth brushing * Ear cleaning * Paw balm treatment Just mention your interest when booking, and I’ll send over pricing and details! A few house rules to help every guest have a great stay: * 🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable around other dogs. * 🐾 Please disclose any history of separation anxiety, resource guarding, escape tendencies, or destructive behaviors so I can determine if my home is the right fit. * 🐾 Dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I’m a dog owner myself. I work fully remote, so I’m used to planning my day around potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and check-ins. Because I’m home during the day, I can be responsive with midday drop-ins and walks and communicate quickly if anything comes up. I keep a consistent schedule and plan routes close by so I can be reliable and on time. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Drop-in visits (up to 40 minutes) are perfect for a midday check-in while you’re at work or away. During each visit, I’ll follow your routine and make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for: a potty break, fresh water, feeding if requested, and some playtime/affection. I’ll also do a quick check that doors/gates are secure before I leave. Dog walks (up to 30 minutes) are a dedicated, leash-only walk for exercise and enrichment. I’ll walk at your dog’s pace, allow time for sniff breaks, and prioritize safe leash handling the entire time. After the walk, I’ll make sure your dog is settled with fresh water and I’ll send photo updates and a recap (including potty info). Boarding your fur baby at my home is like summer camp for them! I have a huge fenced in back yard and work from home so I am home majority of the time. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I often care for multiple dogs, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs need a break from one another. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing quietly in a crate for short periods when needed. This allows me to provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every guest. My boarding program is a great fit for dogs who: • Are crate trained • Are house trained • Are friendly with other dogs • Can be left alone for a few hours without excessive barking or anxiety • Are up to date on vaccinations & neutered
About: I’ve been around animals since I was just learning how to walk, i’ve animal sat for my friends and family many times before and always update with photos when your fur baby and I are together 😊 I welcome all animals, big/small, low or high energy! I’ve been apart of the rover community for almost 2 years now and I’m really excited to meet new fur babies! I currently work full time but I work 5 minutes from home so it’s very easy to come and go for my animals and I always come home on my lunch break so dogs can be accommodated for! I have a fenced in yard, hardwood floors in case of accidents and 2 kennels, small/large if needed 😊 animals are welcome on my couch or bed, what’s mine is theirs 😊
About: I have a natural gift and tons of love in my heart for all animals, was raised on a goat farm had many different types of animals and pets. I have one 16year old fur babies of my own. She's my bestie. Also have a cat for 6 years she is also my bestie in her own kitty ways. 😁 I'm a positive thinker who has a huge heart for animals, I believe they are just angels here to protect and love us. I treat them all as such. I would prefer right now not to care take because I have a very small apartment with an older dog and a adult antisocial kitty.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 95 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
“Bri is wonderful! She was prompt, friendly, and loves dogs. My dog would get so excited every time Bri would com to walk her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to board or have their dog walked. Cheers!”
About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attentiveness, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I work with.

I have extensive experience with small and senior dogs, including my own 12-year-old mini poodle, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, medication routines, mobility support, and calming anxious pups.

In my home, pets are treated like family in a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of structure, play, rest, and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel confident and connected while you're away.

About: Caring for animals is truly one of the greatest joys in my life. As a parent to a 20-month-old and a lifelong pet caregiver, I deeply understand the trust, love, and even the nerves that come with leaving your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide not only excellent, attentive care for your pets, but also complete peace of mind for you. My toddler often accompanies me for pet care that is a good fit, and I am especially experienced with pets who are gentle, well-socialized, and comfortable around young children. Safety, calm energy, and mutual comfort are always my top priorities, and I am thoughtful about ensuring each booking is the right match for everyone involved. I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet at least two days before any booking so pets, owners, and my child can feel comfortable and confident together. I am experienced in administering medications, providing individualized attention, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. Currently open evenings and weekends. OPEN availability spring & summer starting end of March. Attending school in the fall (will update availability accordingly) in August. I can easily adapt to any schedule that is needed!

About: I love animals and have had dogs my entire life, I have had mainly medium to large dogs, along with a Great Pyrenees dog. I love getting to play and love on new dogs because they are so sweet. Dogs really are mans best friend. I personally have trained puppies very successfully with potty training and telling me when they need to go outside. I have plenty of dog toys at my home but dogs can always bring their own too. I am use to walking dogs for a long time my dog has a lot of energy so most of our walks are about 45 mins minimum. I can also handle watching or walking multiple dogs at a time so if you need more than one dog walked at a time I can do that also.

About: I’m a University of Arkansas graduate and a lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has become a big part of my life. I have my own dog, who I got after graduating, and for the past 8+ months I’ve been fostering dogs in need through Big Paws of the Ozarks. Fostering has given me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, ages, and needs, including shelter dogs who may be nervous, stressed, or adjusting to a new environment. I’ve become very comfortable introducing new dogs into my home and helping them adjust to both me and my own dog, which is especially important when boarding. Fostering has also taught me to recognize canine body language and cues, so I’m able to tell when a dog is stressed, tired, overstimulated, or simply needs some space or a break. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to meet each dog where they are—whether that means lots of playtime and walks or giving a nervous or senior pup a little extra time and care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, runs, playtime, and snuggles, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. I have two extra bedrooms, so I can give each dog their own comfortable space at night if they prefer to sleep in a crate or have some quiet time. I’m also happy to let dogs sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to. My priority is always making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and supervised, while also making sure their interactions with my dog are positive.

Our pups were happy and clean when we picked them up! I highly recommend Ashlee!!!!”
