Personalized care for your dog or cat - Stella
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Stella
“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.”
“It’s always nerve-racking to leave your fur child with someone you don’t know. So I am THRILLED to have found Barnabas on Rover! He made the process so easy and put our minds at easy with daily photos and a video. We were able to do a meet and greet and my pups came back just as happy as the left. No built up energy, no scared reactions from yelling or hitting, no poor behavior. Just happy safe pups! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend letting your pet stay safe and sound here! We are rebooking both our dogs next month! Thank you for being trustworthy, respectful, and flexible with us and our pups. See you again soon!”
“This was the second time Daphne watched Tilly and was great again! I could enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was in great hands and getting plenty of attention. Daphne sent pictures and updates so I knew Tilly was safe and happy.”
“Emily is the best! My senior Lab, Bo stayed with Emily for a long weekend and I could not be more pleased with the care he received. Emily kept in contact and sent photos while I was on my trip. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my time away and not worry about Bo! He was very well cared for and he loved the attention from his new golden retriever friend and Emily’s children. Emily is such an attentive, kind person and she will definitely be my go-to when Bo needs a sitter!”
“Our experience with Christy was great!! She arranged for us to meet before our appointment and answered all my questions. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent updates and pictures. We had to change our time at one point and she was very flexible and understanding. Will definitely be booking with Christy again in the future!”
“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!”
“Janet is a wonderful person and a great sitter. She responded instantly to our messages. Very responsible and reliable sitter. Will recommend booking her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Everything went great! Xena was tired and ready to go home but a little reluctant to leave. I got consistent updates throughout her stay. She was treated as though she belonged to them. I will be booking again.”
“She is a dog lover and kept me updated on how my yorkie was during the week. Including pictures. This made things easier for me since it was our first time using Rover. Would recommend.”
“Teigan did an amazing job watching my three German shepherds. They had an amazing time and continue to wag their tails at the sight of Teigan. Definitely recommend and will be booking again”
“Chuck took exceptional care of my dog, Ella. She is a senior dog with some recent health issues and he was so good with her..she requires medications and he made sure she got what she needed. She’s also not used to a lot of people other than family and hasn’t been boarded for several years so she was pretty whiny and clingy for the first few days but she settled in. I so appreciate his patience with her. I would 💯 recommend Chuck for pet sitting! Five stars!!”
“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.”
“Paul and Stephanie were great. This was the first away from family trip that my dog has had in a long time and he seemed to have a great time. They were very accommodating to him and were great about sending picture updates to let me know he was happy and being cared for. Would highly recommend.”
“Jackie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had on Rover in over five years! She’s quick to communicate, great with animals, and a kind person. She’s also been flexible and easy to work with when I was running late. I could not recommend any more highly.”
“Sarah-Beth was absolutely fantastic!! She answered every worried mom message and reassured me that my girl was doing great! She seemed to fit flawlessly. I would 100% rebook with Sarah-Beth again!”
“Excellent communication. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was nervous to leave my dogs b cause I never had left them before this past weekend. I felt very secure leaving Buddy and Louie with Ashley and Tyler. Will definitely be rebooking, I won't even consider leavingy pets with anyone else!”
About: I started out fostering puppies for a few years, one of which I kept as my foster fail, Emma! Emma loves to play with other dogs and would love the opportunity to hang out with yours while you get away for either work or fun. I have a full time job where I work from home, so would have plenty of time to care for your dog as needed. I am available most weeks and weekends. Since I have my dog, it would be essential to arrange quick meet and greets prior to committing. I have my dog Emma, who is a Saint Bernard mix. Though I just have her at the moment, she grew up with other dogs and loves the companionship. I recently constructed a fence for my backyard for ease of potty breaks, though stairs are necessary for this. Emma has free reign of the house while I am working, but I do have an x-pen and extra dog bed I could setup if needed. Emma takes daily medicine for her joints and thyroid, so I am used to giving medicine if your pup requires medicine as well.
“Wow!!! First time to try Rover, and Happy Goodman’s stay with Kay was the best experience we’ve ever had on vacation. Daily photos/updates were so very appreciated and helped us relax and quit our usual worrying about how he was doing. He was happy when we picked him up, and even went back to tell Kay goodbye before loading into the car — so sweet! He was very well cared-for, and it was obvious he had a wonderful time.”
“Her and her family were amazing with our dog! We had a last minute need to watch him while we were out of town 10 hours away. I was able to coordinate with her on picking him up at another sitters house and she kept him overnight for us. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and provided the pickup service. All of the pictures showed him so happy and being loved on so much. She will definitely be our go to sitter from here on out. ☺️”

“Lucy was great to watch my Jango last minute for the weekend of my wedding! I knew he was in good hands when she was giving me constant updates and pictures. Very communicative and my boy was happy being with her too!”
“Bailey was amazing. I needed a last minute drop in for my dog. She agreed to care for my dog. She stopped in twice and sent pictures. I really appreciate her and will use her again.”
About: I currently have 3 cats, each of which I’ve had since they were very young. I love a friendly, affectionate kitty but I also love winning the affection of a more standoff-ish cat. I’m experienced with giving medicine, familiar with wet and dry food, and of course litter box scooping.
“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea! We are new to Eureka Springs and were so worried about leaving our babies with someone new. We liked Chelsea immediately and our shy orange boy also walked right up to her during the meet and greet which is always a good sign. While we were gone (10 days out of the country), Chelsea was so loving with our cats and provided thoughtful updates with photos and helpful info. After they first visit and update we were completely at ease for the rest of our trip and our super shy girl who I mentioned might never come out even came out for pets by the last couple of visits. We will use Chelsea for any/all upcoming pet sitting needs for as long as she’s available. THANK YOU!”
“Ally did a great job taking care of our 3 cats over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative and made sure each cat was accounted for while we were away. We had no concerns. Would highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is that I’ve been a true cat person for as long as I can remember—my first word was actually “kitty-cat” (not even kidding!). I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from tiny kittens to senior cats—like my own 14-year-old cat, Prince, who’s in my profile photo. I’ve also had experience with special needs cats, including one that was blind. When I was 15, I rescued a litter of kittens and their mom from an old abandoned barn and helped care for them until they were safely rehomed. I genuinely love and understand cats, and they always seem to sense that.
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: I’ve had cats my whole life, and I also worked as an office manager for a woman who started a nonprofit cat rescue called Frankie & Friends and would assist her with her daily activities involving the 15-20 cats including caring for them in her “cat cabin” and assisting with fundraising activities.
About: I have experience pet sitting since I was 14! I grew up on a farm with a variety of animals. I can give meds if your fur child needs that care. We have 2 dogs and a cat all good with other dogs! I am college student so I just have class and then I’m home for the day. We have 2 dogs and a cat who are very active. We have a good exercise routines for them. We have 2 dogs you love other dogs and a cat who also loves to play with everyone.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stella
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid who lived on a little farm. My experience ranges from birds, ferrets, reptiles, & cats, dogs. Animal care has always been something I’m passionate about. I know how important my animals are to me and so I will take the best care of yours while you’re away. I am a full time teacher so pet care is on the evenings most of the time. I can schedule weekends ahead of time and be available all day to let your loved ones outside as needed. During the summer my availability will be wide open! My pets are treated like a member of the family. I think that animals in our care should be shown love and grace because we chose to take care of them.
“Titania is one of a kind, she was attentive and caring for Hank and gave me peace of mind being new to this. I will be returning anytime I need Hank watched. It was well worth the money to have her take care of him.”
“Norman had a great time with Eric as evidenced with lots of photos. Eric was easy to work with and flexible with my pickup time. Eric has a big fenced /shady yard where Norman could play with the other dogs. I will use Eric again and would recommend him to others.”
“Ella was amazing. She agreed to watch my pup last minute so that I could move. My girl was medicated from a long drive but she was extra caring and understanding. Ella even made adjustments with her dog so Luna would be comfortable. Highly recommend and thank you so much, Ella!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. She was also super flexible with our timing, which was greatly appreciated! Our pup was sooo happy when we picked him up. We can tell he had such a fun time playing with her dogs. Will 10/10 use Elizabeth again any time we visit Bentonville!”

About: I've had dogs all my life. Shelties Schnauzers, Suberian Huskies, German Shepherds, Yorkies and now beagles. I deeply love them all. I worked several years as a veterinary technician for a large and small animal clinic in the 1980s until life took me in a different direction. I currently live on our small family farm. I have a fenced back yard for your baby to play in. And there is a lot going on to entertain them. I'm retired and home all day if I'm hosting your fur baby. I would love to meet your furry kids and help them have the best time either here or in your home. I'm retired and if your fur baby is staying with me, I'll be here with them the whole stay. If I'm dropping in for a play and potty session, I'll give them all of my attention and an enjoyable session. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly beagles to play with your pup. I can crate if you like, or if they're house trained, they can have the run of the house with my beagles.
“Professional, reliable, and great with communication throughout. Marci took really good care of Newton, and I always felt he was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend them and would book again.”

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.
“Casey provide our puppy with her very first doggie day care experience! It was a great day for our pup. She came exhausted after playing with Sophie. We got plenty of pictures throughout the day. We will definitely use Casey again”
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 personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 9 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on every good day we find!!

This helps me keep an eye on body language to make sure i know your pet's wants. needs, and mood. My calendar stays up to date, and my day-to-day is flexible. I am currently studying while also pet sitting, so I am able to focus on making sure pets and their parents are comfortable even when plans change last minute. My studies will eventually lead to me working from home so i plan to continue to work and pet sit as well, meaning there shouldn't be a change in my plans. I honor house rules and follow directions well. There are never too many notes for me to follow and refer back to. I want your pet to be safe and well cared for, so even the slightest concern i will double check with you via Rover.

About: I am local foster through a local rescue. My husband and I both have a passion for dogs and will treat your fur babies like they are our own! We have experience caring for puppies as young as 8 week and seniors. We are comfortable administering medications if needed and are familiar with pups who may have seizures. We don’t have any stairs so there is no need to worry about a senior pup who might have hip issues needing to climb stairs. I work full time and my husband works full time as well. Our schedules are staggered so your pup would be let out first thing in the morning by myself and then my husband will resume until he leaves for work. Midday we have a family member come over and let the dogs go outside and allow them to eat and drink as well as have some time to play. They are never left alone for more than 4-6 hours at a time. The days I’m off I’m home and my husband works from home 2 days a week as well. We have had this routine for over 4 years now with our own personal dogs and there has never been any issues. We had a brand new privacy fence installed on July 12th! We have a half acre back yard so dogs will have plenty of room to run! We will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have. Please note our home was recently built so our grass is still in the process of growing. There may be days your pet becomes muddy if conditions are rainy. I am happy to provide a bath for your pet for a small additional fee upon request. I also highly recommend doing a meet and greet prior to your stay to ensure your dog will be comfortable with my pets and around the house.

I have a female cat of my own. Had her since she was a kitten, she was a stray and got her shots as soon as we were able too. I would greatly enjoy taking care of your pets! I know pets help reduce stress and anxiety and are very important companions for families big or small. I will do my best to treat your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love, respect, and care they deserve. I work part time in Joplin and am open about my work schedule and let you know when I would arrive at your house to care for your pet. If you agree with those times then I’ll book. I have an indoor/outdoor cat. I have a very big yard but it’s not fenced off. The neighborhood is quite and small. I have the option of walking them for long or short periods.

“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.”
“It’s always nerve-racking to leave your fur child with someone you don’t know. So I am THRILLED to have found Barnabas on Rover! He made the process so easy and put our minds at easy with daily photos and a video. We were able to do a meet and greet and my pups came back just as happy as the left. No built up energy, no scared reactions from yelling or hitting, no poor behavior. Just happy safe pups! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend letting your pet stay safe and sound here! We are rebooking both our dogs next month! Thank you for being trustworthy, respectful, and flexible with us and our pups. See you again soon!”
“This was the second time Daphne watched Tilly and was great again! I could enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was in great hands and getting plenty of attention. Daphne sent pictures and updates so I knew Tilly was safe and happy.”
“Emily is the best! My senior Lab, Bo stayed with Emily for a long weekend and I could not be more pleased with the care he received. Emily kept in contact and sent photos while I was on my trip. It was so nice to be able to enjoy my time away and not worry about Bo! He was very well cared for and he loved the attention from his new golden retriever friend and Emily’s children. Emily is such an attentive, kind person and she will definitely be my go-to when Bo needs a sitter!”
“Our experience with Christy was great!! She arranged for us to meet before our appointment and answered all my questions. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent updates and pictures. We had to change our time at one point and she was very flexible and understanding. Will definitely be booking with Christy again in the future!”
“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!”
“Everything went great! Xena was tired and ready to go home but a little reluctant to leave. I got consistent updates throughout her stay. She was treated as though she belonged to them. I will be booking again.”
“She is a dog lover and kept me updated on how my yorkie was during the week. Including pictures. This made things easier for me since it was our first time using Rover. Would recommend.”
“Teigan did an amazing job watching my three German shepherds. They had an amazing time and continue to wag their tails at the sight of Teigan. Definitely recommend and will be booking again”
“Chuck took exceptional care of my dog, Ella. She is a senior dog with some recent health issues and he was so good with her..she requires medications and he made sure she got what she needed. She’s also not used to a lot of people other than family and hasn’t been boarded for several years so she was pretty whiny and clingy for the first few days but she settled in. I so appreciate his patience with her. I would 💯 recommend Chuck for pet sitting! Five stars!!”
“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.”
“Paul and Stephanie were great. This was the first away from family trip that my dog has had in a long time and he seemed to have a great time. They were very accommodating to him and were great about sending picture updates to let me know he was happy and being cared for. Would highly recommend.”
“Jackie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had on Rover in over five years! She’s quick to communicate, great with animals, and a kind person. She’s also been flexible and easy to work with when I was running late. I could not recommend any more highly.”
“Sarah-Beth was absolutely fantastic!! She answered every worried mom message and reassured me that my girl was doing great! She seemed to fit flawlessly. I would 100% rebook with Sarah-Beth again!”
“Excellent communication. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was nervous to leave my dogs b cause I never had left them before this past weekend. I felt very secure leaving Buddy and Louie with Ashley and Tyler. Will definitely be rebooking, I won't even consider leavingy pets with anyone else!”
“As this was our first time leaving Jack with anyone there was some anxiety on our part. After letting our pets meet and talking with Aisha,we felt much better. She kept ys updated with texts and pics. Jack was a happy dog once we got home. Will use again!”
“Wow!!! First time to try Rover, and Happy Goodman’s stay with Kay was the best experience we’ve ever had on vacation. Daily photos/updates were so very appreciated and helped us relax and quit our usual worrying about how he was doing. He was happy when we picked him up, and even went back to tell Kay goodbye before loading into the car — so sweet! He was very well cared-for, and it was obvious he had a wonderful time.”
“Her and her family were amazing with our dog! We had a last minute need to watch him while we were out of town 10 hours away. I was able to coordinate with her on picking him up at another sitters house and she kept him overnight for us. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands and provided the pickup service. All of the pictures showed him so happy and being loved on so much. She will definitely be our go to sitter from here on out. ☺️”
