“Blake did a wonderful job caring for our energetic pup and curious cat while we were away. He was very attentive to details, easy to communicate with, and sent a bunch of delightful photos of the fur kids during the sit. I highly recommend Blake for both dog and cat care!”
“It was a pleasure to meet Olivia. She did a great job of watching our dog. She kept us informed and we appreciate the updates and pictures she sent. Our dog really liked her and we will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve owned all kinds of dogs and cats since I was little. Family and friends have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I go to school part time so I am very flexible. Can leave school at anytime to come check on them. Usually done around 3. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dog to keep yours company. I have a crate and a splash pad. Dogs are welcome inside and out.
About: I have more than 10 years of experience working at shelters and boarding facilities. I love spending time with animals. I treat each of them like they are my own. I have on several occasions House-sat and dog sat for friends, family, and coworkers. I have a pretty open schedule right now. Currently on a job hunt. I am available basically any time with proper notice. I am happy to help as I can. My back yard fence was knocked down because of a tornado that tore through our town. I prefer for now to stay at the owners place and follow all rules needed to care for their babies.
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. She’s incredibly attentive and communicates throughout the stay. Lots of pics. We know the dogs are in good hands with her and love when she’s with them. Most definitely recommend Rachel and will use her again 😊”

“Raelynn did a fantastic job watching our dog. She took her on multiple walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was kind enough to send multiple pictures throughout the sitting. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
“Anna was amazing with our dachshund and our cat. Her comnunication was consistent and her professionalism was impeccable. Our furry babies were relaxed and happy when we came home, so we know they were loved and spoiled while we were gone. We highly recommend Anna as a sitter!”
About: I am always the first to call when someone I know needs pet care! I have also worked in a veterinary hospital with dogs and cats. As of now, I have a very open schedule. I am willing to care overnight or just drop by for a quick walk. I am flexible! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have one dog and cat of my own, and my dog is crate-trained. Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!
“Kayla did an amazing job accommodating all of our requests and made us feel very comfortable leaving our boys with her! She kept us updated and sent us all the pictures we asked for. The dogs were so comfortable I’m not even sure they realized we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have years of experience dogsitting and taking care of animals in general. I am absolutely willing to take care of different animals as well. I'm not afraid to handle multiple dogs, as I used to live in a house with 7 of them. I was part of their care as well. I currently work from 7:30am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. I am available every day of the week. I can feed, walk, and kennel animals before I leave for work. After work, I can be available to walk or sit. I am not able to care for pets in my home, but I am availble to take care of them however necessary in the client's home.
About: I have been pet sitting and taking care of pets ever since I could drive. I have also been raised around pets my entire life and they have been treated like Family and I cannot wait to treat your pets like they are my own. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I love keeping them active or giving cuddles whenever they’re having a lazy day. Right now since it’s summer I am free during the day and most evenings! Once school starts back up I will be available in the afternoons and evenings! Of course I will always be available for overnight work, unless I am out of town! When watching a pet in their home I work to keep their schedule and routine and similar as possible whenever their family is home. I also try to add in some play time outside and walks! If needed I can clean up around the house as well! Dog families will truly never run out of pet hair ha! If a pet is staying at my home, they will be treated like family. I will bring familiar toys over for them and a favorite blanket! They will have the opportunity to play outside as I have 5 acres of land. If they need to be on a leash that is no problem! Pets that I am coming over to check on during the day/giving walks to will be active with me outside for the time that I need to be there! I love walks and being outside! If it’s a senior pup or one that hates being outside I will work to get them outside for a few minutes at a time and never push them out of their comfort zone!
About: Hello!! My name is Leo and I’m a fine arts student here at the University of Arkansas. I’ve been in Fayetteville all my life and love our local art scene. I have two cats named Pumpernickel and Belladonna, and I adore animals! I pet sit on a weekly basis for several friends of mine while they’re out of town or working, and I love spending time with their animals. During summer break, I’ll be able to spend as much time with your animals as you need! As long as I’m able to go check on my babies once a day, I don’t mind spending plenty of time giving tlc to your little critters. During the semester, I’ll only have classes on tuesday and thursday, which gives me plenty of time to be with your babies. I’m always flexible, and do my best to accommodate every need. I’m a big fan of cuddles and love, and am very understanding with special needs. I love sweet animals and I especially love spending time with them. Be as particular in your instructions as you need, I’m very detail oriented and a chronic double checker.
About: I’m Caryssa and I have been pet-sitting for about 2 years now. I am looking to take on some new clients as I am going to be up in the Fayetteville/NWA area this summer. I have taken care of both dogs and cats, and have taken care of dogs that need medication given to them. While my current clientele is a small number I have always been asked to come back to take care of their babies! I make sure to check in with you and send pictures! I hope to make sure everyone that I sit for, feels that their animals are safe and loved while they are gone. I am currently looking to make this my part time job for the summer, and outside of one main vacation I have plenty of time to come and take care of your pet/s! I have had dogs growing up from little to big, and I currently have cats so I understand what is needed to take care of them. I also have taken care of dogs while pet sitting that need medication and I am able to do that efficiently.

Excited to get to work! I am currently working full time at a vet clinic in Fayetteville, so don't have a lot of free time during the day. I make it a priority to make up early and end my day with animals if at all possible so I would love to get to start my day or end my day making your fur baby happy. I currently don't have the space to offer boarding care. My main priority of in home care is making sure your pet remains comfortable and happy in their own home. I try to stick to their likes and dislikes and routines.

FAQs for House Sitting - Strickler
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Strickler. 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 Strickler 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 Strickler 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 Strickler 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Strickler. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
