Cat Sitting Black Oak

About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.

About: I have worked at a Vet Clinic as well as taken care of dogs, cats, and livestock my whole life. I love the animal industry and have always had a passion for animal advocacy! With working in the Vet Clinic I have been able to learn all kinds of things like administering medication, knowing signs of distress, proper cleaning, and many other things. I do student teach on Mondays and Tuesday all day so those days would be longer between being let out! I am currently a college senior at the University of Arkansas. I am currently student teaching at prairie grove high school two days out of the week. The rest of the week I will be working at Brickcity but have a flexible schedule where I can check on pets during the day before, during, or after my shifts! I student teach on Mondays and Tuesdays so those would be longer between being let out! Since I have been involved in a veterinary clinic I know when animals might be not feeling well or need medical attention. I am able to crate a dog as well as give them appropriate walks. I love playing and entertaining dogs as well.

“Katelyn arrived on time and communicated with us during her visit with Ozzie. He is diabetic and she gave him his insulin injection and other meds. She took really good care of him. We will definitely call on her again.”

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 out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. 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.

“Emily was great with my cats as always! She leaves detailed check in notes and was able to get my shy kitty to come out of his shell. Highly recommend to anyone needing a cat/pet sitter in the area.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about six years, and I’m definitely the person who gets way too excited when there’s a dog at someone’s house. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors- whether that means walks, feeding, baths, playtime, or just keeping them company while their people are gone. I’m really good about following routines and instructions because I know every dog has their own little quirks. Mostly, I just want your pet to feel safe, loved, and like they got to have a fun day too. As a college student, my schedule has a good amount of flexibility throughout the week, which makes pet care easy to work into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and longer visits around my classes, and I’m happy to coordinate with your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. I also have more availability on evenings and weekends. I know having someone care for your pet also means trusting them in your home, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also respectful of your home and happy to send updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 95 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

“Grace is amazing! She is always sending pictures and taking such good care of our cat while we are away. She is always willing to bring in packages that are left too. Mabel loves her!”

Pamela W.

“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!”

Paige V.

“Thank you, Anna for taking care of our Goldens! It was so nice coming home from our trip to happy dogs and clean floors. Our boys get nervous when they are left too long and they were not stressed at all when we returned. Thank you again!”

About: I worked in an animal daycare and also volunteer at animal shelters. I know how to clean and take care of all sorts and sizes of animals. I also know how to care and love them. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. With a couple days’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and overnight care. I am happy to work with each pet’s normal routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I am patient and allow them time to become comfortable with me. I will give your pets plenty of attention, love, and care while keeping you updated during your time away.
