About: I’ve never not had a dog growing up, I consider them some of my best friends. I am also the go to person when a loved one needs a petsitter, so I know how to care for all ages and sizes. I am able to feed, administer medication, walk, bathe, play with, and snuggle your sweet baby. I am very enthusiastic about animals and providing admirable service is my passion! I recently spent 6 months working at a companion animal vet clinic, as a kennel technician. I gained professional experience with specialized care and am able to execute any specific routines your animals requested. I also volunteer weekly to train future service dogs at a campus club and have been doing so for 8+ months now! Because of this I am equipped with patience and comfortability around young dogs who are still learning their way around. As a college student I have a set class schedule. I am available Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays anytime before 10am and evenings after 3pm. As for Tuesdays and Thursdays anytime after 10am. Anytime after that I usually spend my time studying, at campus clubs, and filling my free time to hang out with animals! Because of this I am very excited to work with you to take care of your babies! I am flexible and confident that I will be able to meet your needs!! I currently live at an apartment with 3 other roommates, so I am not available for boarding. However, I am available for drop-in care and walks! I will be very mindful of your space and love nothing more than to assure you and your pet are comfortable & taken care of! I am able to accomplish any routines or special care that may be needed!!

“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the hands-on experience I have gained caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have several years of dog-sitting experience and have cared for over 10 families, including one family for more than three years and still am a recurring sitter. I even started dog sitting before I could drive with my grandparents 10+ different pets, along with my other families 2 Giant Schnauzers and 2 cats. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, medication, accidents, bedtime routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and playtime. I have dealt with a seizure prone dog with 7 different types of meds day and night with scheduled times. I also worked at an animal clinic and currently have experience working around large groups of dogs. Through these experiences, I have learned how to recognize body language, understand individual triggers, and safely handle different situations. I have also worked alongside veterinary professionals, which has taught me more about responsible animal care. Most importantly, I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have become very close with all of the dogs and animals I have pet sit for but also the owners. As a first-year college student, my schedule changes throughout the week, but I have plenty of availability around my classes. I have my own car, so I can easily travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I am generally available after my afternoon classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. I also have flexibility between classes on some days and can work around my sorority commitments with advance notice. I am happy to care for pets in their home, where they are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I always follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime. I also absolutely love cuddling with dogs and, if the owner is comfortable with it, I am more than happy to let them sleep with me, no matter their size! I take time to learn each pet’s personality, needs, and triggers so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently in college, so while I have a couple of busy days (Mon., Tue., Thur.,) the rest of my week is very free! And I always have plenty of time for sitting. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.

“Anna was very professional. She was also very patient as we originally had the wrong dates. She showed up on time for multiple appointments and we came back with all of our girls happy.”

“Becca is amazing!! My dog is super shy and usually slow to make friends, but he immediately took to her! She was so kind and calm with him, and really paid attention to and respected how he might be feeling. She‘a also extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! Diego and I look forward to booking her again!”

About: I have raised and trained my own family dog since I was 11. Neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me to look after and care for their pets of all sizes (cats and dogs). I fostered a 2 year old dog for a few weeks until she got adopted. I am a HUGEEE dog lover of all breeds, sizes (grew up with an 80 lb pitbull lab mix), and ages. I’m currently a college student athlete at the University of Arkansas so I am usually busy during weekday mornings, but have a lot of free time in the afternoons. I usually go on walks in the afternoon/evening anyways, so why not take a dog on my walk! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep pets supervised at all times, and make sure they are in a safe and secure environment during walks. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs, communicate with owners about how their pet is doing, and treat every pet with patience, care, and respect.

I also have availability throughout the day on Tuesday and Thursday before 1pm and after my class (3:30pm onward) I currently work as a server in Roger’s on Saturday evenings, but would like to move my focus to dog walking and pet care during the week days. I’m more then happy to work with you and your dogs routine while providing dependable, consistent care. I live in a safe and pet friendly townhome with plenty of grassy space behind my home and several parks nearby for walks and exercise.

About: Hey! My name is Camilla, I go by Rosie. I am a big animal lover! I am a sophomore in college and would love to take care of your fur baby! Growing up I have always had either a cat or a dog in my home. I currently have two dogs (Martha and Augie) and one cat (Sirius Black). In the past and currently I have helped pet sit for friends, family members and those in my community! Because of my past of having both cats and dogs I have prior knowledge on both species and how to take care of them. I have worked with dogs that can be a bit territorial and cats that seem a bit defensive when it comes to new people, from those experiences I have learned how to handle situations in a manner that relieve the stress of both the animal and care taker. My dog Augie is young and I have taught him all of his commands in French! My other dog Martha is older in age, from watching her grow in age since being a puppy I have learned the behaviors of older dogs and how to take care of their needs so they feel comfortable. I have given medication to dogs and cats before and understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. I am sophomore in college and currently not working a full time job. Which gives me free time to be able to help take care of your fur babies! My availability can be flexible and I can be available during the day or evenings for both weekdays and weekends. Times may vary, Monday mostly during the day and evening but I will be able to check in on both cats and dogs twice a day at least. More if needed. Would love to discuss more information if needed. I can assure you that your home will be treated with the most up respect and cleanliness. When checking in on your pet I will make sure that they will have clean water and food. If they make a mess or have an accident I will clean it up and make sure they are left in a clean environment. With the knowledge of taking care of dogs and cats in the past I understand the seriousness of making sure nothing is in reach of them getting into something they shouldn’t.

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.
