“Sarah S. was fantastic! She showed up on time and immediately held our toy poodle mix who gravitated to her right away. She listened to his care instructions and did what we asked while we were gone. When I would text her to check on him, she quickly replied also sending photos of him. He stresses very easily but he didn't feel a moment of stress with Sarah! If we ever need a pet sitter again we won't hesitate to contact her.”
“Thank you sooo much!!!! Cailey, was and did a wonderful job watching our three big fur babies!!! This was our first time using Rover, and she made our first experience perfect!!! When we came home our babies were so laid back, not like we had left them at all ?❤️”
“Abigail is the absolute best dog, cat and fish sitter. She kept all my animals in my home for 3 days and 2 nights. When I arrived home all of my fur babies were happy and healthy. My home was in better shape than when I left it. I have 2 foster dogs and 1 dog on medication. She gave medication, worked with foster pup on potty training and followed everyone’s routine. During my trip she sent me videos and photos of my babies. I give her a 5 plus plus and an extra plus.”

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.
“Samantha was so kind and took great care of our dogs! We even have a senior dog that requires alot right now and she took great care of her ! Loved her daily pictures and updates ! She was very trustworthy !”
“Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.”

About: Currently a dog owner of 4. One of my babies has seizures so I am experienced with administering meds whether they are liquid, pill form, shot and ones that need to be given on a schedule. A true animal lover. I work full time 8-5. I am able to leave during lunch to let out furry friends or go for a quick walk. I would never leave them home alone more than 4 hours if that’s what is requested. We walk every morning and night as well. At home I work on whatever the client wants. If they aren’t allowed on furniture and such It will stay that way. I want you to come home and have It feel like you never left.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 10. I care for all animals even the fur babies that have anxiety away from home. They will be loved and you will have tons of photos I can pet sit during the early mornings or late at nights. Staying at the animals comfort home so they won't have too much anxiety while you're away. I can care for any animals at the comfort of your animals home. Animals prefer their home more than someone else's. Lesser anxiety for them.
“Josh did an excellent job with my sweet, 13 year old dog. He was prompt and easy going with her, and even spent extra time on our first visit to walk her with me outside in order to learn more about her routine. I will definitely schedule with Josh in the future.”
“Shannon is truly amazing! Our three dogs loved having her stay with them. She sent us daily pictures of them living their best life. They all have such anxiety going to boarding facilities. It was comforting to know they were being well cared for and loved. Shannon even washed her own bedding and cleaned up before she left. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you!”
About: I have been house and animal sitting for my family and family friends since I was 15! I love to go on walks and be outside in nature, and would love to take your animals with me! I love animals of any and all kinds, but I have a soft spot for rescues and senior dogs. My experience includes over night stays, day time visits, and longer periods of care. I work part time at Hendrix College! I only work on weekends days, so I am completely free on the weekends! I am done with work at 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4pm Wednesday-Friday! In client’s homes I care for pets by taking them outside to use the bathroom as required, if not more. I also spend ample time playing with them and making sure they get all of their energy out! If they are allowed, I am happy to allow animals into the bed for cuddles at night! I love to love on animals!

FAQs for House Sitting - Vilonia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 307 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vilonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Vilonia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Vilonia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Vilonia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
