About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.
About: I treat every pet like family – taking the time to learn their routines and preferences. I am reliable and happy to update with photos and messages, and follow instructions to a T. I have experience with other animals and I am patient with all animals. I don’t mind going the extra mile to help. I am currently on summer break. I love animals and need an extra hobby right now. I am happy to accommodate the day and time that would work for you and your pet. I am easy to work with and happy to do what you need done. I look forward to being able to help with your babies!
“It's a Blessing to have someone we trust to take care of our Critters. Cailey is trustworthy with our home and Babies. We can tell by the pictures that our Critters are comfortable with her. Thank you Cailey!”
About: Throughout my life, my family has owned 4 dogs, and many of my friends own dogs that I spend a lot of time with. I currently have two dogs, as well as a few bonus neighborhood dogs, that I love both playing and relaxing with. I often am responsible for feeding, letting out, and cleaning up after my family dogs. I am a recent college graduate with no set job or schedule yet, so I'm very flexible! Presently, most of my work is gig work, so it is very easy for me to run by your house on my way to or from those gigs. I aim to give your pet as much of a sense of normalcy as I can! Whether they like to wrestle outside or sit together in silence, I want to give them whatever they need in the moment. I like to leave a space how I found it, so if they need any feeding or make any messes, I will clean up being myself or them.
“We were nervous being first time pet sitter users, and first time anyone coming to our house when we weren’t there. Danielle did AMAZING! Our pets loved her RIGHT AWAY and never stopped loving her. She was super great at communicating, all the updates, and photos too!!! Honestly we’ve decided she’s our number one pick every time we go out of town!”

“She has been the best thing my fiancé could’ve asked for when it comes to making sure our babies are taken care of. Whether it was the dog, cat, or sometimes both, she showed them the same love and care we show them. I wish there was more I could do to show my appreciation for everything she’s done. Booking rovers for sitting, walking, or just drop in visits is not cheap, but knowing our babies were in safe hands while we were gone is priceless. Thank you Charsy!!”

“Katie was patient and understanding as we worked through Rover's payment system SNAFUs. She communicated wonderfully and kept to all my requests in taking care of my three cats during their drop-in visits. Would most definitely recommend! :)”


About: I have been house and animal sitting for my family and family friends since I was 15! I love to go on walks and be outside in nature, and would love to take your animals with me! I love animals of any and all kinds, but I have a soft spot for rescues and senior dogs. My experience includes over night stays, day time visits, and longer periods of care. I work part time at Hendrix College! I only work on weekends days, so I am completely free on the weekends! I am done with work at 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4pm Wednesday-Friday! In client’s homes I care for pets by taking them outside to use the bathroom as required, if not more. I also spend ample time playing with them and making sure they get all of their energy out! If they are allowed, I am happy to allow animals into the bed for cuddles at night! I love to love on animals!
About: As a dedicated pet and house sitter with 20+ years of experience, I've built a reputation for delivering exceptional care. My journey began in Little Rock, Arkansas, and continued to grow after relocating to Kansas City, Kansas. Now based in Conway, Arkansas, I provide loving services to the surrounding areas. With my experience as a Veterinary Assistant and lifelong passion for animals, you can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I'm available for overnight stays, regular visits, or customized care - always with a smile and a passion for animals. 😊 I have a pretty flexible schedule, as I work part time from home. I have reliable transportation that allows me the freedom to tend to your pets on their normal schedule. I treat them as they were my fur-babies. I love to spoil them & give them the attention they deserve. I let mine have free rein of the house, they sleep with me if they want to. I give treats and love cuddles. There feeding schedule is simple but consistent.

“Renee was absolutely wonderful with my little pooch toby! She communicated very well, was flexible with drop-ins and was extremely sweet! She sent the best pictures of Toby throughout the week and brightened my week! I would definitely book her again for any other out of trips I I have”

“Such a great sitter! Communication was prompt and thorough and she went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and our house was secure during a cold snap. We will definitely hire her again the next time we need someone.”


“Ginny was amazing! We were really worried about leaving our animals to go abroad to visit family, but she made it easy. We have a multitude of animals including 4 cats, chickens and ducks. Ginny came over to meet them before we went, she sent us updates every visit and kept us informed of everything (with lots of pics). There was an issue with the coop water (an issue from a pipe freezing - nothing from her actions) and she disconnected it and made it safe, and did extra work due to the fact it broke. Our chickens and ducks had clean water everyday and a clean filled pond, and our cats were happy and well cared for the whole time. Most of our cats are very shy, and were clearly happy and comfortable when we returned. We didn't have a single worry with her looking after everyone, and we would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.

About: I have strong experience caring for animals through both professional and personal roles. I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, and ensuring the comfort and safety of multiple animals each day. This role taught me how to handle pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs with patience and confidence. In addition to my kennel experience, I have also provided pet-sitting services for people’s animals. Through dog sitting and general pet care, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines such as walking, feeding, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need while their owners are away. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and dependable care, making me confident in my ability to look after pets in a safe, attentive, and compassionate way. 💋🐶 I help care for the pet mini pigs we have and i have watched over dogs and i have a pet gecko i love. ❤️ I help take care of the animal as instructed off a list so i know to care for them correctly and bond with the baby.
About: I have volunteered at humane society and other pig rescues for 10 years. I have 3.5 acres where I have a family of 2 pigs, 2 large dogs, and 1 cat. My wife and I try to help in any situation that an animal needs rehabbed or rehomes. I'm also a registered nurse working in mental health so I'm very patient. I have had animals my entire life. I usually tend to fall in love with special needs or senior animals because they are the most likely to not get a shot at adoption. However I love all animals, hopefully taking care of yours will feed my desires to cont adding to my own pet family. I have a job that requires every Fri sat and sun night so I have open time so I'd love to fill that time caring for the needs of your animals. My wife worked for a vet clinic in Jonesboro for 5 yrs prior to becoming a registered nurse. My nursing job allows for a lot of extra free time to fill up, not being able to have children of my own. I'm excited to service animal lovers like myself. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard as well as a sunroom with heat and cooling with a doggy door. I have 2 older dogs that lazily reside here, and a 30x30 pen for my pigs when we can't be around to watch them, but everybody sleeps inside together. I'm loyal and take pride in all that I do so I can guarantee that I will be able to provide any and all needs your pet should require.
