“Sarah was amazing! Communication was always quick, thorough, and very friendly! She was even kind enough to take on a surprise additional same-day visit when I was delayed in returning home. 10/10 would recommend and book again!”


“Wendy was great with Max. She kept us informed about her visits and provided great pictures of him playing. We highly recommend Wendy and will definitely ask for her again when the need arises.”


About: I am a hard worker, I am good at all basic pet needs. I can also train them to give paw. I also just really love animals. I have a dog of my own and I am free Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My dog goes out at least 5 times a day and he is well taken care of. Like I said I have a dog, I really love and care about him like family. In your home I will be willing to do the same by taking out your dog!

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for years, and I have two of my own—so I get it. I’m super dependable, really patient, and honestly just love being around animals. I care about doing things right and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. Right now I don’t have much going on, so I’m super flexible and can fit pet care in pretty much anytime. I’m taking a class, but I can work that around whatever schedule is needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, just being honest, but my dogs are super friendly and love other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed or keep them separate—we have a whole downstairs area I can stay in with them if that’s more comfortable. I’m also happy to take them on walks as often as needed to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

About: Hello! My name is grace/nikki! I'm passionate about taking care of animals! I have years of experiance taking care of my own animals and occasionally pet sitting my friends pets. Big or small i'm able to handle their needs! I have reliable transportation to take your pets to parks to play and walk. Im able to host animals in my house either for your work schedule or overnight stays. I have a extra room big enough for 2-3 dogs. They will have the house to roam around and feel at home away from home and friends to play with! I am able to walk your dogs, bathe, and play with your pets. I'm available anytime during the week 6am-12pm I would love to get to know,play, and take care of your furry friend! I currently work part-time and have my mornings open to take care of your pet needs! I can also board your pets up to a week if needed! I have a fenced yard for any potty times, a elderly dog who enjoys meeting new fur friends and the house is able to have free roam of the house.

“10/10 recommend Lisa for any pet watching needs. She was beyond amazing with our 4 while we were gone. Kept them plenty fed and loved on them in our absence, plus kept us updated daily. I’m already looking at the calendar and checking availability for our next mini trip.”


About: I am a college student currently pursuing a Biology degree that will be used for entry into veterinary school. I have owned and solely cared for my dogs for over 5 years and have worked at a doggy daycare over the summer. I have experience in all stages of dog life, including puppies and seniors! I also love to give spa days to doggies. I would do anything for my dogs :) I am currently free for the summer, so I will be available everyday of the week until school begins in August. Once school begins, I will be free on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day as well as weekends. Any unsafe items are placed out of reach and toys/treats are always kept hidden to prevent issues with guarding. I live in an apartment and usually take my dogs for long walks in parks. My dogs are completely vaccinated and I am very knowledgeable on sanitary practices to prevent any illness between animals. I also know CPR and basic first aid!

About: Grew up around anything from cats to cattle, took care of all my friends dogs, and had a brown lab myself. I would have a dog if I could, but finding places that accept pets is hard. I love walking and playing with dogs- and do not mind cleaning up after the messes that dogs manage to generate given the slightest opportunity. I work until 8 am on Wednesday-Friday and 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Outside of that time I’m more than happy to walk, watch, or care for anyone’s pets. I like the mindset that you should like every animal, but understand every animal won’t like you. Being tall, a lot of animals are skiddish around me, but patience usually solves any behavioral issues when it comes to animals. I also believe that keeping a clean environment and tidying up after pets is crucial.

About: I have two dachshunds that are brothers and are 6 years old. I am responsible and dedicated to taking care of your pet when you need some assistance. I will ensure the care of not only your pet, but also of your property. I am a person of integrity and will do my best to meet your needs. I treat other pets like they are my own. At the moment, I am not working a full-time job, so I am pretty flexible with availability. I will be heading to college this fall. I treat animals like they are my own. I love to take our dogs on walks and play with them, both inside and outside. We have had to be careful with having dachshunds because of their long backs, so I know that different breeds should sometimes be treated differently.

About: I like dogs and I'm good at caring for them. I'm responsible and nurturing. We have two dogs, Olive and Lady. I'd love to meet you and your babies. I would feed them and care for them before work and after. I would also be willing to stop by on my lunchbreak. We can work out the details together. I play with them on leashes outside or in fenced in areas. I will change water, feed, and give treats as needed. I can spend time there at the home with your pet as requested.

About: I grew up on a farm, we had a little bit of everything! I showed cows in 4-H as a kid and rode in the SJRA rodeo for a while. Ive shadowed a vet clinics as a teen. As a adult I worked for Arkansas Animal Rescue Foundation for 4 years. We housed 35+ dogs, 70+ cats and 75+ horses. Ive raised wildlife off and on. Currently I have almost 30 chickens, 13 dogs, 2 cats, 1 rabbit and 1 VERY obnoxious yearling dairy bull!! I love all animals and find more fulfilling company with them than with people. I one day hope to be a animal behaviorist. I am honest, trustworthy and respectful. I make time for the things I love! And I don't have a set routine really. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kinda girl. I will always make sure they have fresh water and clean bedding. Potty breaks of course. I will spend time interacting with any and all pets that want to play while respecting the ones that take their time becoming your friend (although I make it my soul mission to be their friend no matter what!) Clean up any messes they may have made. Always make sure everyone is accounted for!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a small child. I grew up on a farm and have always treated all animals with love and respect. I have taken care of friends and families pets in the past and also fostered dogs and cats until they were adopted into a forever home. I am currently finishing up grad school and working part time but I have time during the week and weekend to check in on and take care dogs and cats! I will treat every client’s home like it was mine, with respect and give everyone personal space until they have warmed up to me. I will care for them like my own and follow any instructions on food and daily routines.

About: My grandpa was an equine veterinarian, so I grew up helping him take care of all animals. Dogs just so happened to become my favorite! I’m currently working a later day shift, so I have plenty of time in the early day to enjoy playing & taking care of pets! I live in an apartment at the moment, so I don’t plan on bringing clients animals into my home. Though I have a fenced in patio that my dog enjoys!

“Nikki is very good with pets! She makes sure her own pets are well taken care of! She walks the dog constantly and plays with her pets all the time. She is very passionate about animals and wants to become a vet, or open a pet daycare herself! She is a great fit for this type of work!”

Jordan F.
“Jordan recently took care of my cats while I was on vacation. He made sure they got their twice daily feedings and that their water was clean and full. He kept the litter boxes clean and took the time to pet and play with my kitties as well. When I got home my cats were happy and I had no messes to clean up, he cleaned up after my cats and himself very well. It was much easier to enjoy vacation knowing that Jordan was taking care of my cats and house.”


Brennan R.
“Brennan is so patient, responsible, and caring. He is so dependable and will always do amazing work, taking such great care of any dog. Brennan is a responsible dog owner, and knows all about what dog ownership is like. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I couldn't recommend anyone better. He honestly is the best guy for the job you could find.”


Jasmine D.
“I highly recommend Jasmine as a dog care giver with Rover. She has been taking care of my Goldendoodle, Lucy, for the last 2 months, and I am so happy with the way she provides love, discipline (when needed), and active attention. Jasmine and her family are great at recognizing Lucy’s needs and putting them first. She regularly walks her, feeds her on a set schedule, and even sleeps with her. I am very confident in Jasmine, and I know any dog (and dog parent) would be lucky to have her!”
