“Emily does an amazing job with Sue. I have used her Services many times and I highly recommend her. She is kind, professional and patient with Sue.”


2. Eve H.


“Eve is great with our two dogs! It is comforting to know that when we work long hours she can check on our dogs and give them the medication they need. We appreciate all of her help and will continue to book her in the future!”


3. Cynthia E.

“Oh wow! What can I say? Over the last 7 months, she has been reliable, dependable, hasn't missed a single day of 30 minute drop in visits, and my dogs have become attached and love her like she is their Aunt! Unfortunately I was laid off and won't be needing her services full time for now. I won't hesitate to hire her again when I secure a new job. For anyone who needs regular daily drop ins, she is the best in the business!”


4. Helen S.
“Bella has been a trusted colleague of mine for several years now. She has great work ethic, attention to detail, and cares about the well being of not only her own animals but those of others as well. She is well versed in behavior and handling having grown up and been raised on a farm. She is reliable, responsible, and someone you can trust to do the right thing. Bella would make a wonderful addition to your daily life when you need someone trusted to look after your pets and has my highest of recommendations. Always friendly and lovely to be around; you'll love her as much as your pets will that I am sure of.”

About: I’m compassionate about humans and animals, have a very giving heart, why Emmy Dog is a rescue and has been my whole world for years now!:) I’m recently semi retired from corporate America so have ample flexible time to work with and care for your fur babies on your particular schedule!:) Emmy Dog is more well behaved than some toddlers from the consistent care she’s received from me over the last few years she’s been with me!:)


8. Brandy M.

“Very respectful with my fur babies and my home. Sent daily updates. Just a awesome person! Will definitely be using her when needed”




9. Brianna E.
About: I have been working around all sorts of animals for 8 years now. I have worked in the Veterinary field since 2017. I am able to walk your pets, give medication, do physical therapy, and anything in between. I have always and will always love all animals! I am available most of the time. I will take care of your fur babies just like my own as long as I don't have any other reservations. :) I have a 2 bed apartment. There isn't a yard but I am more than happy to leash walk at my home or play in your backyard with your pup or even go to the dog park!


10. Kayte G.
“Kayte’s love for animals is undeniable! She treats all animals like they are her own! Your pet would be well loved and cared for by her! Jennifer G.”


11. Monique L.


“She spent a long time with my 2 doggies on her drop-in visit and kept me updated on if they had peed/pooped etc. I appreciate the pictures she sent and the extra time and cuddles she gave my 2 babies! I'll hire her again :)”




12. Bellona W.

“Ann was wonderful with Delilah. She actually took her to get a pup cup at Starbucks! We will use her again if we need a sitter while in Ft Smith.”


13. Melissa M.
About: I've taken care of many animals, including dogs and cats. I'm experienced with all sizes of dogs and even have a pet friendly home with my own dog. I'm currently not working so I can put a lot of hours into this. I'm a hard working and watchful sitter who loves playing with animals and caring for them. I live in an apartment so I don't have a yard but I do walk daily and would love a chance to meet other dogs.


14. Jurnee W.
“Jurnee was great with my cats! She is reliable and very kind. It’s a bonus that my cats loved her! I highly recommend Jurnee & I will definitely be booking with her again.”


15. Emily S.
“Emily has cared for our dog, Wills, many times. She loves him as she lives her own dog. I’ve observed her with her dog and ours and can recommend her without a doubt. She has a key to our home and we trust her implicitly. Emily is a highly qualified, trustworthy, and loving pet watcher.”


16. Katie C.

“If you have never tried Rover before (or even if you have!), please do yourself a total favor and book with Katie! I run a small business with a substantial amount of clients and I have never had a more thorough and detail-oriented experience as I did with Katie. She was an absolute JOY to work with and I appreciated how she handled all of our animals - including the barnyard type! She sent me pictures and comments TWICE daily on how our pets were doing and it was obvious from the very first visit that our older (and sometimes grouchy) dog couldn't have been more comfortable or loved Katie any more. I was suprised at how quickly he warmed up to her - great judge of character! We will be using Katie on a regular basis from here on out and I feel like we had a family friend in our home rather than someone we just "hired" to dogsit. I couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Her communication style is A+++++. Thank you Katie!!! This family is a lifelong fan :)”


17. Kayley E.
“Kayley has watched my dog, Nellie, many times and is my first choice for a pet sitter on the holidays. She provides the best quality of care for every service, whether it’s a dog walk or home stay. As a Jack Russell Terrier, Nellie needs a lot of exercise and attention. Nellie is a handful, but Kayley always goes above and beyond, providing personalized care specific to my dog’s needs: midsummer walks, longer runs or ball throws at the park. Kayley always asks about Nellie’s dietary changes and restrictions, even asking permission before giving Nellie a new kind of treat. When needed, she can always coax my dog into her oral medication and I feel confident I could trust Kayley in an emergency. When staying overnight, Kayley has always made it a point to water the plants, protect the outdoor furniture in storms, and carry in all of my Amazon packages so they aren’t stolen or damaged. I trust Kayley not only with my dog, but also my home. She has become part of the family!”


18. Kaleigha W.
“had the absolute pleasure of working with my sister Kaleigha n a recent project that involved handling some of the most well-behaved, but sometimes challenging, dogs. I’ve always known she had a special connection with animals, but seeing her in action was truly impressive. There was a situation where a dog got a little too excited during a witness testimony session, and things could’ve easily spiraled. But Kaleigha handled it with such calm and confidence, not only soothing the dog but also keeping everything running smoothly. Her patience and understanding with the dogs are unmatched, and it's clear she truly cares about their well-being. She has a natural gift, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with in that environment. Whether it's managing a tricky situation or just giving the dogs the attention they need, kaleigha knows exactly how to make everything come together beautifully. It’s always a joy working alongside her, and I’m proud to call her not just my sister, but a true professional when it comes to working with dogs.”


19. Priscilla M.

“Chloe absolutely loves spending time with Hazel & it’s obvious she is loved & cared for the same as home (and Priscilla takes her for way more walks than mommy ☺️)”


20. Bailey B.
About: I’ve only dog sat a couple times for some family and friends . But I also live in a house hold full of dogs we have 6 dogs plus I grew up with dogs! But now I am in college full time and I’m looking for something on the side to do . On Tuesdays I only have one class in the morning and Thursdays I have no class at all . So on those days I would be able to fit pet care into my schedule in those morning times. We have a fenced backyard for our 2 bigger dogs and the others that are inside get taken out regularly when needed. I took care of a friends dog one time and they wanted him in a crate so I can also help with that also !
