“He did an amazing job! He sent me updates and pictures and videos every day. He made sure Rufus was introduced to the other dogs slowly, to make sure they got along before being together. I think Rufus had a great time and was very happy while he was there!”
“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.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We were a little nervous leaving our rescue dog with someone new since she can be a bit shy, but Emily helped ease our nerves. Would definitely have our dogs stay with her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Karrla overflows with love and care for all her furry boarders. They are welcome on the couch and bed to cuddle with her. She accommodates feeding needs and makes adjustments to help dogs feel comfortable away from their families. Karrla sent me daily comments and a variety of pictures of my dog Buddy. I saw that he was eating, playing outside, interacting or resting with the other dogs. I appreciate her conscientious care of Buddy and will definitely use Karrla again for boarding.”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and my experience caring for senior dogs through Wiggles Senior Dog Sanctuary. I understand the patience, gentle handling, and attention older dogs need, and I’m comfortable supporting medication routines and slower-paced care. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort and emotional well-being so they feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I are currently home full time, and I work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision and care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and monitoring. This allows me to maintain their normal routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. I also have friendly, well-socialized dogs who can provide companionship if your dog enjoys being around others. I always prioritize safety and comfort, and I can crate your dog if needed to maintain their normal routine or give them a quiet space to rest. My goal is to make your dog feel secure, happy, and right at home while they’re in my care.
“Awesome place for our dog, Bruce. Christy was extremely responsive and kept us up-to-date on Bruce’s stay with daily videos and chats. I’ll be surprised if he wants to come home at all!”
“Sarah-Beth took great care of my sweet pups. Her communication was excellent and she sent regular updates with photos so I never had to worry about them. I’d happily book with Sarah-Beth again.”
“Creek walks and hiking and an amazing backyard. I think our dog liked it at Chelsea’s better than our own house! Haha. Chelsea and her family were amazing with our dog. She sent updates and pictures and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my senior dog with her. Our pup was worn out when she got home in a good way and I will for sure be re-booking Chelsea in the future!!!”
“She seems to be a very sweet person and took wonderful care of my fur babies and made them feel right at home. This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs with someone and it was nice that she kept me updated and made me feel like my dogs were in good hands.”
“Deserae gave Sadie and Bodie a feeling of being home. She and her family were so loving to our dogs, something that can't be faked in a photo. Sadie and Bodie also slept with the kids making our dogs feel even more at home. We would recommend Deserae to anyone who would want their pets to have that warm cuddly feeling they get at home. Sadie and Bodie will diffidently be back to visit their home away from home.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Peanut and sent me lots of sweet videos and pictures while we were away. She was very attentive and wanted to learn everything should could about Peanut so she would have an enjoyable stay :) she was very thoughtful in setting up a play date with her sweet Briar prior to booking to make sure they got along well and so Peanut would remember the house when we came back to stay.”
“Lauren and her sweet family took the best care of my German Shepherd. Daily walks and pictures sent to me was a comfort. I'd never left her before and I was away for a week. I would definitely come back to Lauren.”
About: Hi! I’m Marissa, a Star Sitter in Bentonville with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime and walks or prefers a quiet companion and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone! I’m currently a stay-at-home cat/dog mom, so I have open availability most weekdays and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and check-ins throughout the day to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and any special needs. I’m very patient and gentle, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure they get attention while also respecting their space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

Cat caregivers near you - Wheaton
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: 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.
“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!”
About: Dogs pigs goats cows or even cats! I love em all!! I was raised around animals smalls and large. From Great Danes to kittens I have learned to love all of my fur babies and can assure you that your baby WILL FEEL LOVED Currently I’m a stay at home momma that needs something to do . I love pets and animals and have always been really good with all animals. I always make sure my puppies are taken care of , feed, watered, bathed and exercised. I would 100% make your your fur baby is happy and healthy
About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three kitties of my own, so I truly understand all the little quirks that make each cat unique, from playful zoomies to quiet, independent vibes. I have hands on experience with medication administration, post-surgical care, and even bottle feeding kittens, which has taught me a lot of patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable keeping litter boxes fresh and creating a clean, cozy, low-stress environment your cat will feel safe in. I’ve also leash-walked cats for some safe outdoor exploring, so I’m open to working with both curious adventurers and homebody snugglers. I pay so much attention to each cat’s personality; I’ll match their energy, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them their space while still making sure they feel cared for and loved.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wheaton
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.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always lived on a farm. I take care of animals both BIG and small. I love to be around animals. They are my happy place. I work from home. I train horse so, I'm as available for any of your pets needs. I can move my schedule around to accommodate you and your furry friend. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. My pet and yours are part of the family. They don't really know they are pets. I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 3 horses, 3 chickens and 2 boys (age 12 & 15) that will help your pet feel at home and have all the attention they would want. We live on a 50 acre farm. We are the very last place on a dead end road. No traffic and not close to any highway or main roads.
“Franco had a wonderful stay with Deserae. Couldn't have asked for a better one, with huge yard to play in and with other dogs to socialize and be trained in. I would definitely seek her again if we are in the area. He was worn out from so much playing and running. Pics exchanged show how happy he was!”
“Eric was so cute with Coco. He made she she felt special by walking her twice and feeding her lots of snacks. He put up with my changing schedule and was sound about accommodating me. Highly recommend!”
About: Caring for dogs has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by litters of golden retriever puppies, learning from a very young age what it means to nurture, train, and truly understand dogs. From the chaos of wiggly toddlers and clumsy paws to the quiet responsibility of daily care, that early experience shaped a deep respect for dogs as family members, not just pets. It taught me patience, consistency, and how to read a dog’s needs long before they can tell you themselves. Our approach to dog walking and boarding is grounded in that lifelong experience and in a home environment that is calm, loving, and structured. We don’t run a kennel — dogs in our care become part of our household. Walks are attentive and purposeful, playtime is supervised, and downtime is just as valued as activity. We focus on safety, routine, and emotional comfort so dogs feel secure while their families are away. Our home is also filled with life: we have two small, energetic children who adore animals and have been raised to respect them. Because of this, we only accept dogs who are truly kid- and toddler-friendly. In return, dogs get constant companionship, gentle interaction, and a lively but loving environment that mirrors real family life — not isolation or crates all day. Most recently, we said goodbye to our beloved girl, Nabs, who left a deep imprint on our hearts. Caring for her through every stage of life reaffirmed why this work matters so much to us. While we’re still healing, we’re opening our home to other sweet dogs and puppies who need attentive, trustworthy care while their families are away. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog with experience, empathy, and genuine love, we’d be honored to help. The house in many of the picture is our house in NJ and not in Bella Vista. When I lived there, I used to do rover and those are pictures of many of the pups I took care of :). I work full-time from home, alongside my husband. We both have flexibility to care for, walk, and play with pups throughout the day! I do travel some, but will block my calendar whenever I am out of town. We are accustomed to pet care because we recently lost our Nabs, so we miss taking care of dogs! Many of the photos are of our house in NJ, not the one in Bella Vista. I used to do rover over there and those are pictures of some of the wonderful pups I took care of!! I provide attentive, structured care tailored to each dog’s needs while maintaining a safe, calm routine. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily rhythm that includes regular walks, supervised play, rest periods, and time enjoying our fully fenced backyard. Physical activity is balanced with downtime so dogs stay both stimulated and relaxed. I am comfortable with crates and can follow a dog’s existing routine, or care for dogs who do not use a crate. For safety and consistency, dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. My goal in every setting is to provide reliable, calm, and compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for while their families are away.
About: I've been around animals all my life. From volunteering at Petsmart during adoption weekends to rescuing/fostering animals. It has been my passion since I was a kid. I've worked with all ages from older dogs who need medication and newborn puppies (I've even delivered puppies). I have experience getting timid dogs to trust me. All dog breeds, shapes and sizes are loveable and adorable. I can't wait to spend time with your little one (or big one) and they won't be lonely I have a 8yr old Catahoula mix who was rescued and she loves making new friends! She's very friendly and patient. Please pick us! I work from home which means plenty of time for breaks, walks, and play time. We'll care for your family member as if she/he was our own. :) I work from home and can be very attentive based on your dogs needs. I'm home daily and can make sure all your dogs needs are met. I have a couple dog beds, along with fluffy blankets for them to cozy on up with. Tennis balls for playing and plenty of sticks to chew on.
“Our three dogs visited with Laura and Nash for two days of doggie day care. They had a blast! They love staying at Laura's and came home both days completely tuckered out. They even had a down day the next day! I was out of town and my husband had all day commitments both days. It was such a relief to have Laura take our pups instead of keeping them kenneled at home. It was the first visit for one of our dogs, and she loved it just as much as our other two who have stayed with Laura several times. We are very lucky to have Laura and Nash to keep our pups safe and happy!”
About: I work with all ages of dogs! From newborn puppies to seniors! I am also a groomer at my home! Dogs have been my life since I was 6 years old! I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years now! I am home all day to play with puppies and give your pooch lots of lovings! I have a brand new boarding area in my home!!! I have two different play yards that are specifically for our boarders! All boarders play outside during the day (on nice days) and come in for nap time and bed time!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid! I absolutely love pets and have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can help with potty training, crate training, and obedience training. I will also send pictures and videos for peace of mind because everyone deserves that! I treat everyone’s animals like I would treat my own. I can’t wait to help you all with your pets. I currently clean homes for a living. I’m home a lot and could watch anyone’s pets whenever. I also have a husband who can help and a 7 year old kiddo who loves pets and would love your animals like her own. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your animals company.

“OMG! My little Bella had the time of her short little life! From the moment I met Aimee, I knew Bella would be well taken care of and loved while I took a day off from puppy mommy hood... and the adventures they shared were spectacular from the pictures Aimee shared! Thank you Aimee ... Bella WILL return! ???❣”
“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!”
“I highly recommend Kim! She was very professional from the first response to my inquiry to our meet and greet. I felt very comfortable leaving Wiggles with her. I received pictures and updates throughout the day. I feel fortunate to have found someone like Kim.”
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. I don't have any problem with any animals, I've never met a dog I didn't love and I'm looking forward to hanging out with your fur babies. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
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 love dogs and treat them like my own child. I will love and care for your baby like you would. I’ve been around animals of all kinds my whole life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, cows… so on. If you need someone to watch your baby I’m here and willing to help. I’m a stay at home mom. My little girl and I love dogs and would love to watch yours. Every once in a while I may need to run to Walmart for a few minutes. But other then that I’m home most of the time. I have a fenced in back yard. dogs are allowed on the couch and anywhere in the house with me. I would even allow them to sleep in my bed if that’s what they’d like. Full time dog snuggler. I’ll even send pictures throughout the day if you’d like.

About: I have had big dogs in the home since I was born and took on the responsibility of caring for them around 8. I have experience with all ages dogs and can administer medication if necessary. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I’m currently working toward a second degree and commute to Springfield daily for classes, but I always make time to care for my cats at home. Having grown up with dogs, I understand the importance of consistency, attention, and companionship in a pet’s routine. My schedule is structured, and I’m used to balancing responsibilities—so I bring that same reliability and care to the pets I look after. Whether it’s keeping them company, making sure they feel safe, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet. I am very patient and respectful with all animals and the spaces I care for them in. I and careful to return leave the space as I found it or clean up any space if requested.
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.

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛
About: I have taken care of senior dogs who are no longer themselves, dementia, potty issues, etc. I have taken care of kittens and puppies less than a week old as well ! I have an open schedule so most times of the day work for me. I would prefer nights or overnight sitting. It is very rewarding. I can easily defuse situations that aren’t going as planned. If crate training is something you do that’s no problem! I grew up around crate training and keeping your pet safe is my top priority!

“He did an amazing job! He sent me updates and pictures and videos every day. He made sure Rufus was introduced to the other dogs slowly, to make sure they got along before being together. I think Rufus had a great time and was very happy while he was there!”
“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.”
“Emily did a great job taking care of our two dogs. We were a little nervous leaving our rescue dog with someone new since she can be a bit shy, but Emily helped ease our nerves. Would definitely have our dogs stay with her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Awesome place for our dog, Bruce. Christy was extremely responsive and kept us up-to-date on Bruce’s stay with daily videos and chats. I’ll be surprised if he wants to come home at all!”
“Sarah-Beth took great care of my sweet pups. Her communication was excellent and she sent regular updates with photos so I never had to worry about them. I’d happily book with Sarah-Beth again.”
“Creek walks and hiking and an amazing backyard. I think our dog liked it at Chelsea’s better than our own house! Haha. Chelsea and her family were amazing with our dog. She sent updates and pictures and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my senior dog with her. Our pup was worn out when she got home in a good way and I will for sure be re-booking Chelsea in the future!!!”
“She seems to be a very sweet person and took wonderful care of my fur babies and made them feel right at home. This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs with someone and it was nice that she kept me updated and made me feel like my dogs were in good hands.”
“Deserae gave Sadie and Bodie a feeling of being home. She and her family were so loving to our dogs, something that can't be faked in a photo. Sadie and Bodie also slept with the kids making our dogs feel even more at home. We would recommend Deserae to anyone who would want their pets to have that warm cuddly feeling they get at home. Sadie and Bodie will diffidently be back to visit their home away from home.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Peanut and sent me lots of sweet videos and pictures while we were away. She was very attentive and wanted to learn everything should could about Peanut so she would have an enjoyable stay :) she was very thoughtful in setting up a play date with her sweet Briar prior to booking to make sure they got along well and so Peanut would remember the house when we came back to stay.”
“Lauren and her sweet family took the best care of my German Shepherd. Daily walks and pictures sent to me was a comfort. I'd never left her before and I was away for a week. I would definitely come back to Lauren.”
About: Hi! I’m Marissa, a Star Sitter in Bentonville with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime and walks or prefers a quiet companion and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone! I’m currently a stay-at-home cat/dog mom, so I have open availability most weekdays and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and check-ins throughout the day to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and any special needs. I’m very patient and gentle, especially with shy or anxious cats, and I make sure they get attention while also respecting their space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.
“Laura is amazing with animals and has her place set up for them to be comfortable and not just in crates! The big beautiful backyard full with toys gave my Koda plenty of room to do zoomies! I know our cat Victoria enjoyed all the hiding places within her home! Thank you Laura for sending all the videos and pictures of our fur babies while we were away! It really put our hearts at ease. Would definitely use her place again, I highly recommend Laura to families with cats and dogs.”
“Courtney was wonderful with Meeko! He came back so tired, which means he had a blast. She was vey flexible with pick up time when we were stuck in the mountains due to the snow.”
