“Breanna was great with my cat! It was the first time she had been left by herself overnight. Breanna made sure to keep me updated and sent plenty of pictures that put me at ease. She was great at communicating and responded very quickly. I will be booking her for any future drop-in visits☺️”
“This was my first time using Rover and Mandy was great. Huck needed a slightly last minute sitter and Mandy answered all my questions and then proceeded to do exactly what she said she would do and when and where she’d said. If I am ever back in the greater Fayetteville area, and if Huck needs a sitter, I know exactly who I will call.”
“Jennifer was wonderful with my cat. She communicated very well and kept me updated during her visits. When she had trouble finding my cat one day (because he was hiding way better that I thought he could), she took extra time to check the house thoroughly for him and made sure he had everything he needed before she left. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the area!”
“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jurnee did an amazing job checking in on our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She was extremely accommodating and understanding of our wild pups that are full of personality. She didn’t skip a beat and went above and beyond! Will definitely utilize her services again!”
About: I LOVE all dogs! I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, with large and medium sizes being my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl!
About: I am home full time , available through the week and weekends. I am ready to care for your baby as much as you need. Being raised around animals my whole life, my experience with them are remarkable. Animals easily bond to me. My special skills require recognizing behavioral Signals, recognizing basic health problems, dog handling, and basic training skills. Knowledge of proper grooming (baths, brushing, and pampering needed). . I will provide your dog with a lot of exercise and socializing opportunities thought out the day and as well as love and TONS of fun time. We will enjoy walks, playing fetch, or just lots of belly rubs. I am home most of the time as in right now. I have no pets . . . . . . . . . . Must provide leashes for walks. Must be snug and safe, must fit appropriately. . . . . . . . . . . . .
About: I’ve cared for dogs for along time and im reliable and I absolutely love them! Friends and family have trusted me enough to do so I am not currently working at this time, so I am very open and flexible with any day or times that you might need. Very flexible. I have a fenced in yard! I have a dog of my own who is lovable and is kennel trained. Dogs are in and out
About: I have had pets since I was 8 years old including cats, dogs, rats, mice, fish, and horses. I absolutely love animals and enjoy spending time with them over anything else. I have trained 4 of my own dogs and have assisted in training two others. I have dog and cat-sit for multiple people and have even taken care of a rabbit on multiple occasions. I am always happy to work with animals. I also have experience bathing animals, including those with fleas. I am also familiar with administrating various medications. I am currently in medical school full-time but usually have afternoons/evenings and most weekends free! I’d love to make use of my open time caring for animals. I keep a diligent eye on pets and ensure they are properly fed, have clean water, get their play time/exercise, and ensure that their behavior is normal for them. I also love to send updates on how your pets are doing!
About: Hello there! Are you in need of a reliable and caring companion for your furry friend? Look no further! My name is Ginger, and I'm thrilled to offer my services! I offer pet sitting, walking, check ins, and occasional boarding! Growing up on a farm I have been around animals my entire life and I have a deep love and respect for animals, particularly cats and dogs. As an owner myself I understand the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation for our four legged friends. I take pride in providing personalized care tailored to each pet and their individual needs and preferences. Whether your four-legged friend prefers a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an energetic play time in the park, I'm dedicated to ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Above all, I strive to build trusting and lasting relationships with both my furry clients and their human companions. Communication is key, and I'm always available to provide updates, feedback, and support. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! With gratitude, Ginger Currently I am an educator whom is on summer break and I want nothing more than to fill my time with fuzzy friends!! I usually would prefer to work afternoons as I work part time in the mornings. I personally have fostered and cared for many dogs and cats. Currently I have two cats of my own that live with me. I have an upstairs and downstairs that are separated by a baby gate. I also have access to a park thats in my neighborhood. I have plenty of room in my backyard for pups to play in!
About: I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life, and I’m definitely the person who will ignore the humans in the room and go straight for the dog. I’m responsible, attentive and very comfortable stepping into a pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, medications, sticking to their feeding schedule or just providing some excellent couch companionship. Every pet has their own personality, quirks and very specific opinions about how things should be done, and I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m especially good with dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance when their people are away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated so you know everything is going well and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while you’re gone. Fair warning: I’ll probably give them a ridiculous nickname by day two. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can work around your pet’s routine instead of expecting them to work around mine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime and bedtime can all stay as close to normal as possible. I’m also happy to spend plenty of time at the house, so your pet won’t just get a quick hello, a bowl of food and a disappearing act. If they’re used to having someone around, they’ll have me around. When I’m staying in your home, my goal is pretty simple: keep your pet happy, safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I’ll follow your instructions, pay attention to the little things and treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine. And you won’t have to wonder what’s going on. I’m happy to send pictures and updates along the way. I know you’re trusting me with your pet and your home, and I take both seriously. Even if your dog and I are having very unserious conversations while you’re gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Van Buren is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Van Buren. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Van Buren. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
