“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!”
“Bonnie is the best cat sitter I’ve had. She genuinely cares for your pets as if they are her own and goes above and beyond for them. I cannot thank her enough for making me feel less anxious when I have to leave my fur babies behind. Do not hesitate to book her, she’s the best!”

About: I may be new to rover, but I have lots of experience pet sitting & dog walking. I stand out as a dog walker/sitter because of my strong communication skills, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I ensure each pet receives personalized care, catering to their unique needs. Whether it’s gentle attention for senior dogs, engaging playtime for high energy pups, or reinforcing basic training, I adapt to every situation. My experience means owners stay informed and reassured while their pets are in my care. With patience, attentiveness, and a passion for animals, I create a safe, loving experience for every dog I walk or sit. ♥️ Dog walking fits well into my routine because I offer flexibility, allowing me to work around my schedule while staying active and engaged. I enjoy working closely with others, being active/ walking, and providing a great experience, this feels like a natural fit. Plus, it’s a great way to earn money doing something I enjoy. I make sure they have food, water, exercise, and affection while following any specific owner instructions. Whether it’s walking, feeding, administering medication, or providing playtime, I adapt to each pet’s needs. I keep their environment clean, ensure they feel secure, and communicate updates with owners for peace of mind. My patience and attentiveness help pets feel at ease, whether they’re in a familiar space or adjusting to a temporary home with me.
About: I have up to, if not more, than 1 year of pet experience. I was raised on a farm from the age of 13. I also have experience with dogs and cats alone as I use to be a dog bather and have my own cat. I plan to become a groomer fulltime as well as pet sitter. I am currently unemployed outside of Rover, I am looking to make Rover fulltime once I an get enough clients to keep me up financially. I am also looking to go to school to become a pet groomer. Currently,y schedule is open 24/7. No pet is ever too much! I live in a house with family currently, as I just moved back to the Fort Smith area. As of current, I am unable to do pet watching at my house so I offer house sitting + walk in visits, as well as dog walkin.
About: I've been cat-sitting since high school, watching friends' and neighbors' pets while they traveled. I am a cat owner myself and have personal, in-home experience with the furriest of overlords. I also have practice with the smallest of kittens as a volunteer with the Fort Smith Animal Haven. No cat too big, no beans too small... I can't wait to meet them all!! I'm currently between jobs, so your sit requests are my top priority! First come, first booked, of course, but I will do my best to make room for everyone in my schedule! At this point in time, I will not be offering in-home services as my space is too small and my own pets are too many. Safety is number one, and most cats are calmer (therefore safer) in their own space.
“Ann was amazing with my 2 large dogs!! You can tell Ann is a dog lover and took time to give attention to both of my dogs during daily check-ins. One of my dogs is recovering from surgery and Ann was able to give her special attention and make sure she was safely in her recovery crate after each visit. I could tell my dogs had a good time playing with Ann and I loved getting photos Ann sent from the check-in appointments! I would definitely book Ann again and recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pups.”

Lily G.
“The Best Dog Sitter You Could Ask For! If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like her own, look no further! My daughter is not only incredibly responsible and reliable, but she also has a natural connection with animals—especially dogs. She’s grown up in a pet-loving home and has always been the go-to person for walking, feeding, cuddling, and caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, she’s attentive to every need—making sure pups are happy, safe, and comfortable. She’s currently home from college for the summer and is looking to spend her break doing what she loves most: being around dogs! If you want peace of mind while you’re away, I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s calm, trustworthy, and dogs absolutely adore her. You’ll come home to a happy, relaxed pet—and probably a few cute photos, too! 🐶❤️”
