“Emily is the best! She is very caring, conscientious, reliable & flexible. She takes such good care of our birds and they just love her! She is also great at communicating and provides frequent updates. She is a great sitter!”

“We’d used Bonnie for over-night pet care. Bonnie was attentive to the needs of our dogs and dependable. When something unusual came up, she was able to make things work. We plan to use her in the future.”

“Linda stepped in on very short notice after my original sitter canceled, and she was fantastic. She took great care of my fur babies, followed my instructions closely, and even left the house cleaner than I left it. When I got home, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well exercised. I’d absolutely trust Linda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

“We had Monique out to our little farm for the second time to care for our chickens and four cats. We could once again trust her for animal care decisions in our absence, since anything can happen out in the country. She's not squeamish when it comes to critters the cats drag in, and skillfully captured a chip monk that was running around a bedroom. She is thorough and always leaves the place better than she found it.”

“Leigha was a wonderful sitter. We asked her to watch our dog for a weekend and she sent tons of pictures, videos, and updates. She was super flexible about timing and she stayed until we got home. Leigha left the house in a wonderful condition and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Kayla did an amazing job accommodating all of our requests and made us feel very comfortable leaving our boys with her! She kept us updated and sent us all the pictures we asked for. The dogs were so comfortable I’m not even sure they realized we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I LOVE my doggos. I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, large and medium are typically my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl! There are pet walking areas within minutes of my home that I can take your pet to, if you feel comfortable with that, or I can walk them around the neighborhood, also.
“Sherry was amazing!! I love her and more importantly my dogs loved her! She was even cool and calm when there was a little spat!! And I love that she loves my dogs! I completely recommend her and I will use her again!”

“First time to have Justin take care of my two dogs. They were well cared for, really appreciated not having to leave their home and very happy. Justin is friendly, listens and follows instructions and dependable. I will use his services many times in the future.”
“Kinzley was great with our Joscoe! He loves her and we know she spoiled him while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home and caring for our big boy. Highly recommend her for your house sitting/pet sitting needs.”
“Mary did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog, Chestnut! She followed all of our care instructions extremely well and was so attentive to his needs. She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind, and even took him on a walk—something he absolutely loves. We also came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left it, which was such a nice surprise. Mary was on time, easy to communicate with, and truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be working with her again!”

“Excellent communication, daily updates, easy to work with, and my boys were clearly very well taken care of. Helen will absolutely be my first call when I need someone to watch my dogs. 10/10 recommend.”

About: I have always been around animals!! I have lived a farm life and a city life. I enjoy taking care of many different types of animals, especially cats , dogs, and recently had some hands on learning experiences with otters! I have skills working with special needs animals that have seizures to not having some of their limbs. I hold a special place in my heart for all fur babies. Pet care is my full time job :). Lots of flexibility and time for your pets. My availability will be 24/7. Whatever is convenient for you. I do live an in apartment. You can come to me or I can come to you. I have my little dog that will probably be coming with me for animals that might need a play partner. My home is kept clean and pet friendly. All chemicals are always put up high.

About: Hi! My name is Emma. I moved to Fort Smith from Dallas, and have several years experience working in the Veterinary field. I live with my husband, Jason, and share our home with our three cats- Bones, Minx and Tiko- and our two beloved rescue pups, Sadie and Lil Bit! I’ve been surrounded by family pets for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is my priority and passion! I have enjoyed the wonderful opportunity of working with pets every day, and I am excited to offer quality home visits- with time for play and walks - and of course, treats (if allowed) -with lots of pets and snuggles! Animals are the true joy of the world, wouldn't you agree?! As a fur mama with my own special needs pet, I realize how important it is to have someone you trust to care for your fur baby while you are away. Please let me know if you are interested in allowing me the opportunity to pet sit and care for your pet! I currently have open availability, 7 days a week, and my hours for visits are pretty flexible. I am always willing to work around what you and your pet may need, in order to provide them with the best experience and give the most loving care possible while you are away. I appreciate any insight into your pets typical daily routine, and I will always attempt to follow any specific instructions given closely. I realize how important it is for your pet(s) to recieve consistent care, and I strive to provide your pet(s) with a stress-free transition with minimal disruption while away from their pet parent.
