“Bonnie is an absolutely amazing human being and fabulous at what she does! My orange boy Luthen really took to her and it was so wonderful to see how well my kitto was doing while I was out of town! 10/10 absolutely would recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets while away!”
“We always use Breanna to watch our cat when we’re out of town and never have to worry. She gives us peace of mind knowing our cat is in good hands and will get plenty of cuddles and pets while we’re gone.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats since I was a little girl! To seven dogs in my house growing up… From massive dogs like Cane Corso’s, to chihuahua’s, they’re all big babies to me! With doggy daycare training, and experience, it makes for a proactive combination. I can lift, twist, run, bend, and messes of ALL kinds are absolutely no biggie to me! I’m currently waiting for Spring Semester to start in January, so my schedule as of now will be open and available to any needs! I also have my own, reliable transportation if needed. Will notify if not! I have a 4x4 pin I use for my dog, since we don’t have a fence, I also take him to the dog park, and crate him when needed. So, crate’s, little quirks to keep the crate locked, all of that… trust me, I’m familiar. I’ll make sure your dog/cat is all safe and locked up before leaving, and even send proof for a sense of peace!
About: My name is Bailey. I have always loved animals of all kinds. I have 6 dogs and 3 cats myself. I am confident I can take care of your pet! I have taken care of many dogs and a few cats. I have a pure heart for animals and treat them with the care and respect they deserve. I am currently in college for nursing and I work part time at a physicians office. I would love to work with animals day to day as well! I have a fenced yard. I have 3 dogs outside who have a separate part of the yard and 3 dogs inside. My three dogs inside are elderly and very friendly. I care deeply for my own pets and I will care deeply for yours. If your pet stays at my house I do allowed dogs on the furniture and sleeping in the bed. My 3 inside dogs get along with any animal. I have multiple food and water bowls throughout my house along with various sized dogs beds and crates!

About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
About: Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, the owner of All Paws & Pastures, your new go-to for all things pet and farm care.🐾 Need a hand with your animals? I'm here for you! I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, from always having my own dogs/cats from the ripe age of 3, to fostering/volunteering since 2010 to working in the field since moving to the area early last year. My services are flexible and comprehensive, including but not limited to: *Dog Walking & Pet Sitting (any time you're away)😺🐕 *Farm Hand Services (from milking cows to mucking stalls & collecting eggs)🐮🐎 *All-around Animal Care (for any need in between!) I am a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable caregiver with great references. Please send me a message to discuss your specific needs. I can't wait to meet your animals & treat them like my own Pet care IS my routine. I am a self-employed single mom and am able to be attentive to animals in my care. Other business ventures take a back seat when I have a pet booked so your babies will have all of my attention! Determining the needs of each client is unique to them; however, I treat each pet as if it were my own. At my home- I have a fenced yard, extra crates if needed, a runner line if needed and doggy gates inside for separated free roaming if needed. At clients home- I am there to keep the pets as much in their routine as possible. I come armed with treats, scratches & an understanding that some are shy a little longer than others. Check-ins on arrivals can be easily provided as well as many pictures!
About: Hi! My name is Emma. I moved to Fort Smith from Dallas, and have several years experience working in the Veterinary field. I live with my husband, Jason, and share our home with our three cats- Bones, Minx and Tiko- and our two beloved rescue pups, Sadie and Lil Bit! I’ve been surrounded by family pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is my priority and passion! I have enjoyed the wonderful opportunity of working with pets every day, and I am excited to offer quality home visits- with time for play and walks - and of course, treats (if allowed) -with lots of pets and snuggles! Animals are the true joy of the world, wouldn't you agree?! As a fur mama with my own special needs pet, I realize how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your fur baby while you are away. Please let me know if you are interested in allowing me the opportunity to pet sit and care for your pet! I currently have open availability, most days of the week, but I do work a part time job from 9am to 2pm Mon thru Fri, so my availability is flexible around that. I am always willing to work with what you and your pet may need, in order to provide them with the best experience and give the most loving care possible while you are away, but please be aware I will be away for a small portion of the day. I appreciate any insight into your pets typical daily routine, and I will always attempt to follow any specific instructions given closely. I realize how important it is for your pet(s) to recieve consistent care, and I strive to provide your pet(s) with a stress-free transition with minimal disruption while away from their pet parent.

- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
