“Lily was so patient with our high-energy dogs. She gave consistent updates and left our house so clean! We will definitely request her again.”


2. Ashleigh K.

“Ashleigh is a fantastic communicator, she asked all the questions to make sure my boys were taken care of during the long weekend. My dogs are big, so I am always worried that someone may be intimidated by their size. Ashleigh found out there is nothing better than love from a 110-pound lap dog. Would definitely recommend!”

4. Brooke A.

“As always our babies were very well cared for. Got pictures and videos while we were gone as well. We got home to very happy pups and kitties. We don’t use any other sitter at this point because she just takes such good care of everyone. She even makes sure the lizard and fish are tended to. Highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and deep understanding of animals. While I may not have years of professional pet-sitting experience, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by pets, caring for them with patience, kindness, and a huge heart. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every animal like my own—whether it’s providing belly rubs, playtime, or just comforting company.

This allows me to be fully available and flexible to meet the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, providing companionship, or ensuring they receive the attention they deserve, I have the time and dedication to make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home, ensuring pets stay in their familiar and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I take the time to bond with them, offering companionship and affection while keeping their space clean and safe.

13. Rachel S.
About: *I am now residing in Benton Arkansas as of the fires in Los Angeles at the moment!!* Hi, I am Rachel Struthers! I grew up in Arkansas in the country with horses, cattle, dogs, cats, and more! I’ve been training and caring for animals since before I can remember. I’ve been taught to be responsible, hardworking, and most of all to love animals! I have grown up with 3 Boston Terriers, a Sharpé Lab mix, Pitbull mix, and a Yorkshire Terrier. I know how to handle a variety of breeds no matter what shape or size! My dogs are my babies back home and are treated like family. I will treat your fuzz family just the same! Currently I have one Exotic Short Hair Cat. He is leashed trained and very social with other animals! Taking care of your pet will be my top priority! I have all online school classes and an extremely flexible job (fine artist). I have a car and am able to meet/pickup anytime! I am very flexible! I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. The beach is my backyard! It is quiet with a trail. I live by myself besides my fur baby, Vino. He is my best friend and is always by my side! I am very adaptable to any environment or situation, so I am super easygoing when it comes to your pets needs and wants! (:


14. Anna W.
“My sister, Anna, is an amazing person who not only loves and cares about pets, but she feels the same about PEOPLE..... and will do anything in the world for anybody. She goes out of her way to go above and beyond for everybody, but most especially for animals. Even as a child, feeding and caring for the family's two german shepherds, she never exhibited any fear or reticence in interacting with them. Growing up, she actually once aspired to be a veterinarian before becoming a microbiologist. Many times she has rescued turtles out of the street to keep them from being hit. She has a very caring and dependable nature, and often cat-sits for her son and daughter-in-law. Once while on vacation in the Dominican Republic, she excitedly swam with some dolphins and actually picked up a large stingray!! (much to all of our chagrin!!) Anna gravitates to all animals and she lovingly approaches and cares for them without fear. It is for these reasons that I HIGHLY recommend her as a more-than-suitable candidate for one of your pet-sitter positions. I promise, you will not be disappointed.”




15. Tristin W.

“Tristin just sat with our dogs for the week. She was very sweet and the boys were in great spirits when we got home last night. She was also a super-nice house guest and even washed towels, etc. our Pomeranian is older and has to take insulin shots and is also deaf and blind. Our lab is super shy. Needless to say, they have some very special needs and Tristin was able to care for them no problem. She can really roll with the punches. We look forward to having her care for our doggies again soon.”

18. Allyson A.
About: I've been around animals all of my life. Have also spent plenty of time volunteering at local animal shelters (mostly Humane Society of Pulaski County), helping out in any way that I can. Mu schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays. My best time is around lunchtime and early afternoon (12-4). I am completely open during the weekend. I currently have a cat and two dogs. Even with all of the care care they require on a day to day basis, I'm still up for giving your pet(s) all the care and attention they need.


19. Jennifer R.

“Jennifer was awesome with our home and pet. She kept us in the loop with text and pics. She actually went to PetSmart and spent her own money on a medication for a hot spot. The house was spotless, and Bella is missing her already. We will use her again if she is available. Thanks Jennifer!!”


20. Shelby H.
About: Having two labs, takes a lot of love, time and effort. It also takes understanding, I've had to understand they need something totally different than most and that is lots and lots of time outside to run around and play. I love being around animals, my two labs happen to be my emotional support animals. So I know firsthand how much your fur babies mean to you! They are part of the family!! Daily Monday thru Friday some weekends. I like to leave weekends for my family. If I am needed though we can work something out! 😍😍😍 My fur babies have e collars when they go outside for run time. We also go to play yards and play. We get treats that are homemade, yummy.They also get walked on their leashes sometimes and go on long walks
