“Sue was extremely kind and welcoming to our dog, and took great care of him! She was quite sweet to both us and our furry friend, and we would definitely use her again in the future for watching him. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!”
“Believe the hype! All the raving reviews about Lark are true. She’s an excellent communicator and very responsive. That alone helped me feel confident our dog was in good hands. She sends pictures and updates, and her home and yard are perfect for pups to play play play. Our dog was super happy when we picked him up and was pooped for the next couple days, so I know he had a blast. Thank you, Lark!”
“My bordoodle dog Chloe had a great time staying with Barbara and her two small dogs over the weekend. Barbara took great care of her and sent me pictures and/or videos of her every day. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Lawrence was absolutely fantastic with my beagle! From the very start, he was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. He took great care to follow all my instructions and sent tons of photos and updates throughout the stay — it was so nice to see how happy and relaxed my dog was the whole time! My beagle came home tail-wagging, content, and clearly well cared for. It’s easy to tell that Lawrence genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and treats them like his own. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter — I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I have cared for pets, including my own, for more than five years. I understand that pets are part of the family and deserve love, patience, and attentive care. I keep a clean, organized environment and stick to a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise. I follow instructions carefully and use good judgment when something unexpected comes up. I'm also comfortable giving medication, keeping a close eye on behavior and appetite, and sending regular updates so owners know their pets are safe and happy! I work a hybrid schedule with spending most of the time at home. Pets have plenty of space to relax and play. Toys are welcomed! I have a fenced back yard with security camareras including a lot of shade from the trees. Inside there is plenty of room as well. I can dog crate at your request.
“Megan watched my dog Bentley over the 4th of July weekend for the first time. She was flexible and responsive even though my booking was short notice. She stayed in communication during his stay and sent me picture and video updates while he was with her. Bentley enjoyed his time with her and her dog Bear. I would definitely book her again.”
“There is so much to say. Christina, her husband and kids were INCREDIBLE with our dog. We decided to book last minute as opposed to a boarding place and we couldn’t have been more happy! Christina sent us updates with images of our dog happy as can be! She was super professional and kind and I cannot recommend her enough. Very grateful and if given the opportunity again would love for her to watch our dog!”
“She is amazing! Lots of detailed updates and pictures while we were away. He was very well taken care of and loved every minute of his stay! We will definitely be returning 😃”
“Iyari took excellent care of our Bitty pup! Bitty has lots of special needs as a very elderly Chihuahua, but Iyari was up for the challenge and did a fantastic job. She provided daily photos and updates and made Bitty very comfortable during her stay. Bitty doesn't always warm up to strangers, but Iyari's sweet and gentle nature won her over and by the time we came back they were friends! I would definitely recommend Iyari to anyone and we'll be booking her services again soon!”
“Ally had a big fenced backyard and my dog was very entertained during his stay! She was considerate of feeding around other animals and the fireworks going off during his stay. Would use Ally again!”

About: I have 2+ years experience working with Almost Home Animal Shelter in Van Buren Arkansas, walking, feeding, medicating, playing, and cleaning up for pups. I also have several years experience with pet sitting for friends, family, and friends-of-friends with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve fostered and worked for multiple doggy daycares and I can honestly say that taking care of people’s pets in one of my passions because animals deserve the best care possible to honor the love that they give us and that we have for them. I am available for pet sitting, walking and boarding of both cats and dogs 7 days a week during the summer months. I get up when they do, or can come ‘round in the morning to play with them or take them on walks, feed etc. Depending on your needs I can be more active or more hands off with their schedule. Doors of clients homes with be locked to their specifications, entry and exit of the home will be on their given schedule, animals will be secured with all equipment provided (collar types/harnesses/etc) and I promise to be vigilant and aware with their animal at all times.
About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!
About: I’m a happy owner of two bulldog mixed girls and one orange male feline. I have taught the girls to swim and walk without a lead. I care for and love our furry family. Our big girl is getting old so exercise is too much for her. Our pets take care of each other by licking eyes and ears. Our cat doesn’t use a litter box instead will go outside. I’ve needed a trusting person to look over our animals and found this through Rover so I thought I’d return the favor during summer time. Looking forward to hearing from you. Household duties at your home are negotiable. They should like other animals if they stay with us. Please bring any comfort items or food

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Strickler can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Strickler home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Strickler.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Strickler. On Rover:

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.
You and your Strickler sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
