My dog so enjoyed having Vera’s 2 dogs to play with, they were sweet to her. Home is easy to find, very clean, nice fenced yard, nice neighborhood, and house is very dog friendly! We will use Vera ofter for sure for our dog care needs.”

“I didn’t expect my cat to do well with boarding. She’s a very anxious creature. A scaredy cat in the truest sense! Christopher and Jennie did everything in their power to make her feel at home, and I know they did a good job because she bounced back very quickly once we got back home, which has never happened with other boardings! She’s been prone to hiding for days after past experiences, but that didn’t happen here. Thanks for taking care of my best friend, guys. She may not have been super receptive to it, but I know she appreciated you regardless.”

“This is our second time hiring Morgan to dog sit our Yorkie, Max, and he loved it just as much as the first time! Morgan shared daily updates and photos of Max enjoying his time relaxing with them. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Bianca was great! She was able to take Opie after a last minute cancellation. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. She asked a lot of questions to ensure Opie would have a good stay. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“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.

“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!”


“Marilyn did a great job communicating ahead of time and during her visits. She sent lots of pictures of our cats, their food being filled, and their water running. This gave us peace of mind while we were away! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!”

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: 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 had cats for about 3 years now and every year I have gotten around 3 new cats. I now am responsible for 9 feline cuties. If you knew me in person you’d know that I’m obsessed with cats and my whole world revolves around them. I have devoted my life to making all my babies comfortable and for them to thrive in our environment.
About: I had my first dog when I was 8 and raised her from a puppy for 5 years. Also, I’ve been pet/dog (e.g. dogs, cat, reptiles, etc.) and house sitting for several years. I graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, and currently volunteer with the Fayetteville animal shelter. I’m currently working full-time M-F from 8am-5pm with a few breaks. More than willing to do whatever takes to ensure you and your pet are most comfortable. We have several parks nearby within a quaint neighborhood. I have a 2BR apartment, no pets, and tons of amenities available (dog park, walking trails, etc.).
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes since I was 10. I’ve always loved being able to care for my loved ones pets, whether it be walking, bathing, or feeding them. I have had almost any pet you can imagine, and it brightens my day to be surrounded by animals. I am a driven and caring student wanting to put myself through college, and make animals happy! I’m currently working a flexible schedule where I can choose my own hours, so I am practically available whenever I am needed. I am available on weekends and weekdays. I have a large dog and cat friendly home with a fenced yard and a walking trail by the water that would be enjoyable for dog walks. There are no children in the home, and I have a friendly dog and cat who loves to play if allowed.

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’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.

“My dog struggles a little with separation anxiety and just turned 1 yr old, but weighs over 60 pounds. He can be a handful sometimes. He has stayed with Lark four times, and is always excited when I pull into Lark’s driveway. Lark impresses me as a capable and kind caretaker with plenty of experience. Her organization and management skills allow for a safe and fun environment for the dogs. I highly recommend her as a dog caregiver.”

“Where do I even begin! Luca had the BEST time with Barbara. I was on vacation and needed someone to help my husband with our puppy, and Barbara was incredible from the start. She responded quickly, and we even got to meet her and her dogs beforehand. Luca didn’t want to leave! hahaha! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby.”

“Bianca and Josh were so great to watch our pups three straight days while we moved from our house! Grateful that our dogs could have a chill place to hang out during a very hectic time!”

“Chris was great! He took great care of my girl, she was happy to return the next day and had fun playing with Mosley. Would definitely use again when visiting Bentonville.”

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
“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!”

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: I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and all kinds of animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm gave me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m especially patient with shy cats and love getting to know each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day! I always let pets approach me at their own pace, especially shy or nervous cats.

About: I’ve had many cats and dogs over the years. My Chocolate Lab, Holly, was 16 years old when she passed away a few years ago. I raised her from a puppy all the way through her senior years. I’ve recently retired so my schedule is fully open to for pet sitting. I am looking forward to having some cats and dogs in the house again. I have a fenced in backyard. Half of the yard is concrete pad with a covered pool, and the other half is grass. I also have a gazebo that gives a good amount of shade for animals to relax under.
“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!”

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 am willing to care overnight or just drop by for a quick walk. I am flexible! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have one dog and cat of my own, and my dog is crate-trained. Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

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 70-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.
About: I own dogs, cats, and horses of my own. I've helped over 200 fosters or rescues in our home, many of which had medical issues. I've dealt with most problems that could come up with sitting! I also use Rover for my own pets, so I try to do everything that I would want a sitter to do for me! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work, so I am able to fill all of that free time with pet sitting opportunities! Let me know how I can help! I love all animals and try to take care of them as if they were my own. I also love taking photos and sending them off so you can see your animals while you are 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! I am open to crates and scheduled outside/park time and I have an SUV so I’m able to take animals on adventures if allowed 🐾
About: As a runner from the super humid state of Arkansas, I can accommodate any level of exercise your dog may need to achieve. Also, I have always been the most responsible person in my group (many of my friends joke and call me mom). In addition, I pay close attention to details, and can follow any level of instruction (including strict feeding rules) you could give me. I was raised around animals my whole life, working with them on my farm, as well as enjoying their company indoors. I believe that's why I'm so good with animals. Animals love me and I enjoy spending time with them as well; so it's really a win-win situation! Can't wait to meet your little *or big* best friend! I will prioritize your pet! Whatever you need, I will accommodate! I know that pets are like our babies! Your furry buddy will always be happy with me around, and I will always make time for them.

“I didn’t expect my cat to do well with boarding. She’s a very anxious creature. A scaredy cat in the truest sense! Christopher and Jennie did everything in their power to make her feel at home, and I know they did a good job because she bounced back very quickly once we got back home, which has never happened with other boardings! She’s been prone to hiding for days after past experiences, but that didn’t happen here. Thanks for taking care of my best friend, guys. She may not have been super receptive to it, but I know she appreciated you regardless.”
