“Where to start...Burgundy is just a good person. That's who you want to watch your pet. We had a complex situation that I'm sure not everyone would have liked to handle. She did so with skill and compassion. Our dad's dog is not warm and very scared. When his dad had an extended hospital stay on day 1 Burgundy was able to get his dog to warm up to her and spent time with him to build a little bond. She communicated so well, and even did a little light house keeping. We will for sure book with Burgundy in the future.”


“Elissa is the BEST!! She has a very calm demeanor which is so helpful for my anxious and excitable pup. She was always early or on time and provided a good note on my pups day. Through photos I could tell he was very comfortable and happy having her there to check on him. Could not recommend her enough!”


“Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter and was so accommodating and helpful. She went above and beyond, and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about the pets. Would definitely book her services again!”


“Emma helped us out on a holiday with a short notice and was wonderful with our two large dogs! Great communicator and kept us up to date. Would definitely recommend her in the future.”


“Sophia was amazing! We were first time Rover users and we don’t leave our dogs very often. I was a bit hesitant, but we really needed to find help with our four dogs. She was very thoughtful and attentive to all of our pups needs. I really appreciated the daily communication and photos. We are incredibly thankful for her time!”


“Jocelyn is amazing!!!!! She followed all my instructions, and spent so much time with my babies! She was incredibly flexible and kind! My animals absolutely love her!!!!!!”



About: We are animal lovers!! We have five dogs and two cats. Our dogs are a loud, rowdy bunch but they enjoy having new friends to play with. I have always had pets. Starting in high school, I worked at the veterinarian’s office as a kennel worker on the weekends and during the summer. Later, I began working as a groomers assistant at Happy Tails grooming in Hot Springs. I was able to learn a lot about dogs and cats and how to care for them properly. Our animals have free rein over our home, everyone is allowed on the furniture and we always love to snuggle with pups! We have a seven-year-old girl who loves dogs, as well as a baby!! Our kiddos are learning how to interact with dogs safely and to respect their space and needs. I have cared for several dogs with different issues (heartworms, epilepsy, injuries, anxiety issues, medications, etc.). I want to care for your pups just like you do at home so just let me know. We have a fenced in back yard where the dogs can play to their hearts content. No need to bring toys—our back yard is filled with ropes, balls, and chew toys. We would LOVE to meet your pets and watch them for you. About our pets: Zadie: yellow lab mix-Zadie is very shy at first but is fun loving once she gets comfortable. Oreo: English bull dog/weenie dog mix (yes for real haha)- Oreo is our super chunk! She eats anything and everything she gets a hold of so we have to watch her carefully. Most of the time she loves napping on the couch (like cat...I'm fairly certain she thinks that she is a cat). But every once in a while she gets some spunk and races around the yard with the other dogs. Nova: husky mix- She is a HANDFUL! She is a fence climber and a social butterfly. She has many friends throughout the neighborhood haha. But she is super friendly and always makes best friends with the guest pups immediately. She is always so exhausted at the end of each stay. Stormy-mixed breed. We took in Stormy for a short time (at first). She was a dog that had been abandoned and was pregnant. We worked with our local humane society and planned on rehoming her once her puppies were placed. Obviously that was a failure lol. She is the sweetest dog in the world. She is just absolutely fantastic. Rosie- husky/Dalmatian mix- Rosie is a crazy handful. She is sweet and playful. She just turned 2. Rascal: Cat-Rascal is a pretty good sized tom cat. He is very sweet and actually likes playing with dogs. Those are our pets, I hope you choose us to watch your furbabies! I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am with the dogs all day. I work on getting them out while taking care of the kiddos in the mornings. We have a loose schedule that we follow, but it is easy to shift and adjust. We have a fenced in yard. There is also a kennel that was on the property when we bought our home, it has 8 foot fence. Inside we have doors to most rooms so that we can keep the pups from the front door if need be. We also have some doggy/baby gates.

About: Started out with friend’s family calling me to house/dog sit. By Word of mouth I’ve gotten many jobs. This job chose me. I love it so I thought I would start advertising. Feels good to help homeowners to not worry about their house or animals while on vacation. I love sending videos every day of their animals. I do not work secularly so I have a pretty free schedule. Right now I housesit or dog sit about every other month so let me know about your dates the sooner the better but you never know I might be able to do last minute. I meet with the pet owners to see what they would like me to do while they are gone. Regarding the house/ administering medication/ walks/ car rides/ dog parks/ mowing grass/ watering plants .. how often do they want me there to make sure the house still looks lived in while they are gone such as staying the night

About: I grew up with dogs, have house and dog sat for many family friends, and I have a sweet senior kitty who I rescued a couple of years ago! I love meeting any and all pets, and will give them the quality care they deserve. I'm a full-time college student with classes stacked on Tuesday and Thursday, so i have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. While my classes are stacked on those days, they are only from 9-3! I will happily walk your pet(s), play with them, and keep their area tidy in your home! I'm comfortable administering medicine for the fur-babies that need it, and I have plenty of experience with senior pets.

About: I have always had a love for dogs. I have worked at multiple different kennels and worked with multiple different dogs. Can administer medications if needed. I know how stressful it can be trying to find a reliable sitter, but I am here to help! I currently am not employed, so my availability is very open right now. Willing to do boarding in your home on weekends or weekdays as needed. Available to do potty breaks anytime of the day! I think dogs do best in familiar environments as well as with familiar people. I would love to watch your dog in your home, or swing by for potty breaks after meeting the dog a few times prior.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, and my love for pets turned into a career. I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2015 and became a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) in 2017. Most of my experience has been in mixed animal practices, so I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and even farm animals! Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some loving company while you’re away, or a little extra attention for special needs, you can trust they’ll be in capable, compassionate hands. I understand how important your pets are — because they’re family. I’m currently taking a break from the veterinary field to work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks or midday check-ins, I have the time and experience to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Providing reliable, compassionate care is something I genuinely enjoy and make a central part of my daily routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise needs, and any special preferences your pet may have.

Maggie C.
“If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like family, look no further. I’ve seen firsthand how Maggie cares for her own pets — three miniature schnauzers named Patsy, Annie, and Ember, and her cat Sylvester. Her pets are some of the happiest and most well-loved animals I’ve ever met. Maggie is one of those people that animals instantly trust. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic dog, they seem to sense her calm, caring nature. She’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and patient. I’ve watched her manage the needs of her three dogs, each with their own personalities, while also making sure her cat Sylvester gets plenty of attention and love too. She’s experienced with everything from daily walks and playtime to medication, grooming, and just spending quiet time comforting anxious pets. I’ve seen her drop everything to make sure her pets are comfortable and happy, whether that means a late-night potty break or sitting with a nervous pup during a thunderstorm. If I ever needed someone to watch my pets, Maggie would be my first call. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and truly treats every animal like her own. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members.”


Blake C.
