“Lenora did a great job of taking care of our two Goldendoodles while we were away on vacation for a week. During her overnight stays she went above and beyond by spending extra time with them and ensuring they got all the snuggles and love they needed. She also took great care of our home. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“This was our first time using Tabitha as our regular house sitter was unavailable. She was very responsive and attentive. I could tell immediately by her interactions with our dogs at the meet and greet that they would be well cared for and spoiled while we were gone. We had adopted one of the dogs less than two weeks before our trip and were still trying to get him adjusted around our other dog and cat, and she took on this challenge without hesitation. By the time we returned, he had more manners and our dogs were getting along extremely well and were now great buddies. Additionally, we have our pet sitter stay at our house and the house was left in great condition with no issues or concerns. We would definitely recommend her to others and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs since childhood. I have two cats and one dog of my own. Also, I have two little boys who will love playing with and helping care for your fur babies! I’m a teacher, currently on summer break. I am taking classes online for a Master’s degree, but I will have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have a big yard. You will need to provide a leash if your pet will be boarded at my house. Our neighborhood is pretty friendly toward walking dogs, and there are plenty of sidewalks. I do have dog and cat food, but if you have specific food that you feed your animal, then you will need to provide that.

About: I’ve grown up around many of my own pets as well as other peoples that I’ve cared for throughout my neighborhood. I’m not a party person nor do I have many friends. I love animals and always have. I love going on walks and just sitting outside for an hour throwing a ball. I like animals that think they’re a lap dog even if they’re bigger than me. I am a part time employee at Cocos Mexican restaurant. I can sit any day throughout the week Sunday-Saturday. Sitting does not affect my routine at all, I plan my weeks to fit sitting for pets I like to make sure that animals are fed and happy. I believe that if I want to eat and drink during the day, then surely my pet does too. I enjoy the sunlight and I’ll sit outside with your pet until they’re ready to come in. I’m not a party person nor do I like to be around a lot of people. I like my area to be clean so I can assure that when you return the house will be just as you left it if not cleaner.

About: Hi, I'm Renee and I have a deep affection for our furry (and non-furry) friends. I would be honored to share my love and care with your pet as you do the things you need to. I'm a good listener and highly adaptable so any special care your pet needs will not be a problem. Pets are as different as the many colors they come in and they deserve individual care. I am also open to critiques so any way I can be of better assistance please let me know. I look forward to serving your pet. See you soon! I work from home so your pets will get all of the attention they deserve! This allows me to offer a variety of services to fit your needs. I treat your pets like mine with access to the fenced backyard, treats, and toys! Mental and physical exercise is important followed by a nap!

“Allison and her partner were wonderful with my 3 girls, taking extra care to not scare the skittish one. She was very communicative and I have already rebooked her. She allowed me to have a family reunion all day and relax b/c I am a stay home dog mom and they are not used to me being gone.”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, and I attribute that to my love of our furry friends. When I was younger, I would help care for my grandparents' two Boston terriers and other family members' dogs. I currently have a 5-year-old female French Bulldog named Luna who loves to make friends, big or small. As fellow dog lovers, you may know that Frenchies can be quite the handful, and Luna is no different. Due to this, I am used to specific instructions like food allergies and certain routines, so no worries if your baby tends to be a little on the high-maintenance side. I can't wait to care for your babies! I am currently on a break from my seasonal job as a photography assistant, meaning that I have plenty of time to take great care of your furry friends! Occasionally, I have to take my brother to and from school, which doesn't take up much of my day. When I start back as a photography assistant in March, I will work mornings. At the latest, I'll be finished around noon; however, it is usually earlier. While my dog tends to nap quite a bit, she loves a game of fetch or tug of war. We love to run around in our gated backyard and take walks around the neighborhood. She is fed twice a day and gets the occasional treat. I am followed around all day by my little shadow, and I never leave a room without her following suit. With that being said, I plan to care for your pet as if it were my own, whether that's check-ins/potty breaks, or a daytime/overnight stay; your pet will receive lots of love and attention. Any specific instructions will be followed, as my pet comes with a detailed list of her own. I understand how important it is that your companions are cared for properly.

About: I have watched other dogs in the past, neighbors trust me and they know I will love and care for their pets as my own. I work from home, so I'm home all the time. There will be lots of walks, going to parks and playing with my dog Bing Bong. I do have a dog and 2 cats. My cats may not play with your dogs but Bing Bong sure will. We don't have a fenced backyard but I do have a small fenced in area where they can play and potty in.

“Bridget was wonderful! She really listened to all the quirks of our pups, and accommodated them tremendously. She gave snuggles, played with them, took them on walks, all the fun things while keeping us updated along the way. We’re pretty sure the boys loved her so much, because when we came home, they kept looking for “someone” periodically at the front door. We can genuinely say they had a great time without us home. Thank you, Bridget!”

About: Hello! I’m Chloe, I am 22 years old and I just recently relocated to back to central Arkansas from Houston, TX! I would describe myself as a passionate and dedicated dog sitter with over (10+) years of personal experience in caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. My passion and nurture for animals began at a young age, raising many cats and dogs, and eventually training my own dog to duck hunt. I have pet/housesat for family and friends in the past, with nothing but good experiences! I have extensive and well rounded experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and many behavioral aspects. I am very good with anxious dogs, or those who may suffer from separation anxiety. I have personal experience with obedience training, can easily teach a dog how to be handled on a leash and not pull you, and many other simple tips and tricks if you ever want the assistance. I will always treat your pets like my own and give them the utmost love, care, and attention that they deserve and require. I am active myself, so i love being outdoors and typically try to walk 2-3 miles a day. I would love to have enrichment time outdoors with your dog, of course adhering to weather standards. Dog Walking Dog/House Sitting Cat/House Sitting as well Administering medication to animals Playful, engaging activities and exercise for your animals I'm committed to providing excellent and specific care to ensure your animals needs are always met, and ensuring their happiness and well-being as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10. I would frequently pet sit for my neighbors when they went on trips, and took care of my own animals (a cat, 3 dogs (1 large, 2 small) and fish). I’m quite used to staying up overnight with small puppies for whatever they need, and work best with a specific schedule and instructions to ensure each and every pet is cared for properly! I’m currently attending college in the mornings until around 11:00, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets past noon. Contact me about specific dates! For day sitting and walks I’m glad to take them to the pet park, to go get a pup cup, or even just play in your backyard. For overnight care, I’m happy to stay in house to keep their schedule consistent and stick to any schedule you provide.

“This was the first time we had to leave our dog with someone other than family for an extended period while on vacation and we were nervous leaving him with a stranger, especially since he is an older dog with mild health issues. From the moment we met Linda she put our mind at ease and gave us the feeling she would do everything she could to make sure Leroy would be taken good care of while we were gone. She was very conscientious of trying to maintain his schedule to make sure he was comfortable and provided periodic updates to ease our minds. Linda left our house extremely neat and tidy, which was very much appreciated after a long day of traveling. We would absolutely ask Linda to watch our dog again!”

Shannon is absolutely amazing! She stayed at my house with my clingy fur baby for seven days straight. Whenever she got bored Shannon did laundry and cleaned, so I came home to a happy dog and a house that was cleaner than I left it! I will definitely be recommending her to friends, and using her again for any future needs!

Shannon did an awesome job pet sitting our 4 fur babies. Our dogs welcomed her with open paws and although our one older cat coexisted with her (he only likes one of his humans), the young one finally warmed up to her the last day. She cleaned up after them and left our house as we did when we left. We received daily pics and video of them, she communicated well with us and I think they would be happy if we booked with her again. Thanks Shannon!
