“Went above and beyond to make sure that my cat, Oberon was looked after. I forgot to leave out the key for her, and Ashley worked with me and my apartment to get in and take care of my kitty. She even made sure that I could get back into my apartment when they replaced my lock.”

“Miranda is awesome! My German shepherd puppy is vary wary of new people, and he was best friends with her after the first day. She's made sure he's well exercised, fed, and happy. She is very good about communicating and sending pictures/videos of my dog whenever she visits so I can see how he's doing. She's got a lot of experience so she's been able to give me some pointers/tips that have really helped out.”

“Brice was very responsive to our last minute request. We were on vacation and wanted to go out to dinner with family but needed someone to stay with our pup. He was on time and updated us throughout the visit. Will definitely call him next time we are in the Little Rock area. Thanks Brice!”

“Faith was a lifesaver! She was able to watch my finicky senior girl last minute, and assure she got her daily medication. Faith kept great communication, I’m so glad we went with her!”

“Amanda was great at caring for our fur babies! She even cleaned up a mess one of our older fur babies made while we were out. She spent a good amount of time taking care of them and making sure each of their individual needs were met (our older fur baby gets bullied sometimes by his younger sisters at dinnertime). I recommend Amanda for excellent care of your fur babies! <3”

About: We have always had family dogs growing up, ranging from small to big dogs, and indoor to farm dogs. We have experience potty training puppies, teaching tricks and commands, and looking after senior dogs. Now we live in the city with a fenced yard and our two handsome dogs that are our children. We’ll love your puppers the way we love ours! Your pet will never be home alone. We both work for UAMS - Dan works a clinic schedule with hour long lunches and Sorena works from home. We have a doggie door so access to our fenced backyard is never an issue. Walks are done daily in the evening once we’re both home. Our two friendly huskies will keep your pets company while you’re away. We have a spacious living area for the dogs to tussle if it’s too hot or cold outside. If your dog needs some space our house can be sectioned off with gates to give them some time to relax and recuperate.
“I needed to schedule drop in visits really last minute. She was super fast scheduling us in, meeting our dogs and making sure their needs were met while we were away! She was so sweet I couldn’t be more satisfied.”

About: There’s always been an animal in my life — I’m a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds! I don’t currently have pets of my own, which means your furry (or feathered!) family gets my full attention. I’m active and love walking at Two Rivers Park, so I’m happy to include your pup. I also enjoy trips to the Bark Bar for some fun social time! Please let me know if you are interested in add-on baths 🛁 Currently, I am available anytime of day through the week and weekends, depending on other bookings! I am available for recurring drop-in visits or in-home pet sitting. I appreciate when owners provide a short document outlining their pets’ routines and any special care details. It helps me keep their schedule consistent and ensures I meet all your expectations as their sitter.
“Jennifer is phenomenal. She took her time to first to come out for a meet and greet to see if my boxers and her were mutual fits. Aside from her approach to managing my boy who has a bad jumping habit, I was first impressed by how she’d clearly paid significant attention to details about each of them in our profile! She exuded strong trustworthiness from the start. When she came for a drop in with them she communicated timing with me well, and sent a video and multiple pictures of them, giving me peace of mind while away that they were happy and in good hands. If she can handle my young (but up to 80lb) boxers the way she did, I am confident that she can handle most any K9 situation. Highly recommend.”

“Lindsey was such a joy!! She took great care of my dog Millie and sent me very helpful updates. She showed genuine care for my fur baby and made me feel so much better about leaving town for the weekend! She was just the best!! I highly recommend booking her to help with your animal care needs!”
“Darcy saved us when our sitter cancelled days before we left for vacation. She took very good care of our cat and went above and beyond keeping us updated on everything. I would recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for!”

About: I have 1-2 years of experience of caring for dogs and pets throughout college! I have specifically cared for medium to large sized puppies and seniors! I am great at dealing with energetic dogs who love to play as well as chiller dogs who love to lounge. I am currently a full time Neuropsychology Technician, but I am largely available on weekends and nights! I can house sit on Friday and Saturday nights, and can go on walks everyday at night! My apartment building has its own fenced dog park with room to run and play. I can bring my own pee pads, treats, and toys!
About: I have experience with boarding, walking, drop ins, and house sitting animals of a variety of sizes (ranging in size from a Mini labradoodle to a 200lb St. Bernard/Mastiff) and ages (newborn to 10+ years). I currently have two dogs, both friendly. However, if I am boarding dogs at my house they will be elsewhere unless a meet and greet can be done (Any boarding requests a week or less will require a meet and greet, as I may not be able to accomodate my dogs being absent.)Even friendly dogs can be unpredictable when they are in an unfamiliar environment, and I would never risk any animals safety! I've cared for pets my entire life ranging from dogs, livestock, cats, birds, gerbils, and fish. I'm an animal lover and have volunteered at multiple animal shelters. I currently work full time in Downtown Little Rock Monday - Friday from 8am-5pm. I have an extremely flexible lunch schedule and am available and provide drop in during the day. I am available on weekends and early mornings/evenings during the week for drop ins and walks. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own. However , dogs are never left outside for extended periods of time, and if I am not home. I do go outside and play with them regularly. My dogs are well socialized, and I train with them regularly. Both of my current dogs are large breeds. One is 4and the other is 9. I have experience with younger dogs as well as caring for older dogs and their needs. If I am at work I let my dogs free roam (they are allowed to on all surfaces and in all rooms of my house). All of my animals are crate trained and I am comfortable with that as well. If I have animals other than my own at my house I will never gone more than 30 minutes unless I am at work. They each have a separate feeding station. Water gets changed daily and their bowls are cleaned once a week. All pets are current on vaccinations, and are on Simparica.

About: I have had dogs as long as I can remember, but of course as a child our parents do the brunt work. However, when I finally got my own place my first thought was, FINALLY I GET TO BE A FUR MOM! Which is when I got my perfect fur baby named Bean. I got him during covid so the answer is ….

About: I have taken care of a variety of different breeds of both cats and dogs! All ages ranging from a few months old to senior pups and cats!

I work full time from 7:30am-4pm, Monday through Friday! I have an hour lunch break to go home and check on pets and have all of my afternoons free to be available to give animals lots of love and care! I tend to spoil my fur babies! I make sure their water and food are fresh and in perfect moderation. My cat Remy has asthma and a heart condition so I am also very observant of animals and know what signs to look for if anything may be uncomfy or them! I am very familiar in giving liquid or pill medication if needed and have also used an inhaler for my cat frequently. For my healthy babies I make sure they get lots of love and attention every second I am with them!
