About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. They’re not just animals, they’re family! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your fur babies while you’re away. I’m a loving, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals of all personalities, sizes, and ages. Whether your pet loves playing, going on walks, getting belly rubs, or just cuddling up and relaxing, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve! I love spending time with animals, so making time for your fur babies is something I genuinely enjoy! I do work during the week, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I want to make sure your babies get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone else with your fur baby is a big deal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and make sure they’re comfortable in their environment. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates for your peace of mind. ❤️
About: I have twenty plus years of canine experience, including elderly dogs and puppies. I previously have volunteered at a local humane society and worked as an obedience trainer for a pet store chain, instructing group and private classes. I recently left the medical field after twenty years and have plenty of time to devote to your pet's needs. I love to take my dogs on walks, hikes and trips to the dog park. We would love for your furry friend to join our pack. The inside of my home is spacious enough to separate crated dogs as needed. I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks to assure safety during walks.
“such a patient and sweet dog sitter! my dog has very bad trust issues as he is a rescue from the shelter, she was patient with him, and they became besties! thank you so much, will book again!”
“Absolutely amazing sitter, highly recommend and will rebook! Thorough communication, plenty of pics and flexible with all my girls’ needs. I can see she truly is passionate about animals and has plenty of love to give to all pets!”
About: Grew up around dogs and love them! Worked at a doggy day care and boarding for over a year. Seen and taken care of all types of dogs and know how to facilitate healthy play. I’ve walked dogs for friends and family, and taken care of dogs while owners were away. I can administer medicine, and have taught dogs basic skills. Working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I’m able to make most times/dates work especially if I know in advance! Can work weekends and during the day. I have lots of energy so can keep your pet well accompanied, but also love to give snuggles. Can adapt well to however you want me to care for your pet!
About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life, and I gained a lot of experience from a three year stint when I was younger and had seven at once ! The two I currently have are potty trained by me, and they respond to basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘drop it’, ‘come’, and ‘quiet’. I have also taken care of two senior, as well as groomed a goldendoodle named Moose! I’m very good with dogs, and I love just being around them! I’m currently a college student, but my weekends and afternoons are free. Early early mornings (5:15-7 am) are also free, though my availability at those times would be distance based. I do not have a place at my dorm to entertain dogs, but I have my own car in which there is plenty of space to transfer a dog to a park or even to the vet!
About: My goal is to gain more hands-on experience caring for large dogs. I've been around large breeds throughout my life, as many of my friends and family have owned them. I'm already comfortable interacting with bigger dogs and have experience walking, feeding, and helping care for them. I'm excited to build on that experience and become an even more confident and knowledgeable caregiver. I’m currently working part time in Little Rock, and I’m also a full time online college student. My schedule will be flexible enough for me to look after your dog for a day or two! When I’m with your dog, they are my top priority. I will keep an eye on them and keep them company at all times, and of course give them all the love they deserve.
“Samantha is the best person to watch over and care for your babies, hands down. From the start she was very communicative and professional and had us feeling very comfortable going away for our week trip. She sent us amazing detailed updates with cute photos and even brought in a package for us! We will be utilizing her services again, and we highly, highly recommend her!! Thank you Samantha!!!”
“Renee was absolutely wonderful with my little pooch toby! She communicated very well, was flexible with drop-ins and was extremely sweet! She sent the best pictures of Toby throughout the week and brightened my week! I would definitely book her again for any other out of trips I I have”
About: I have taking care of many different types of dogs in my life. I have found varies creative ways to keep them entertained, loved, and well groomed. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend when you book with me! I go to school in the morning and have the rest of the day at my house. I help out with the football team so they will get plenty of time to exercise and be social with other humans allowed. I have a room in my apartment that has a crate, couch, and a recliner to help them be as comfortable as possible. They will be in my sight at all times so there will be no worries for anything happening to them like running away or getting into anything dangerous.
“Mallory was great she stopped by when she said she would. I was new to hiring a stranger to take care of my two dogs and two cats. I had my house full of cameras and every time she came over she loved my pets, played with my dogs and even cleaned up the stuffing my dogs tore up from my couch. She was even lucky and was able to pet my cats and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter box. I will definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ward is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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 365 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ward. 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 Ward. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
