Lois was always beyond excited to see her and I enjoyed the peace of mind of knowing she was in such wonderful hands 😊”


“My dog struggles a little with separation anxiety and just turned 1 yr old, but weighs over 60 pounds. He can be a handful sometimes. He has stayed with Lark four times, and is always excited when I pull into Lark’s driveway. Lark impresses me as a capable and kind caretaker with plenty of experience. Her organization and management skills allow for a safe and fun environment for the dogs. I highly recommend her as a dog caregiver.”

“Becca and her husband were both absolutely amazing with my puppy!!! She was quick to respond when I would text her and was super flexible when I needed to change times due to scheduling conflicts. My puppy would leave their house so happy and worn out (in the best way) from long walks and play time!! Becca would also work on a few training things with him! I will 100% be using Becca again!”


About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family for the last few years. With working from home it makes it easy for me to help out when needed. I have house broken 4 puppies and 1 adult that was not house broke when we got him. I’ve had experience with dogs with anxiety, yeast prone and dogs that have allergies. I know how to give shots if needed. We’ve rescued dogs and rehabilitated who were abused and neglected that had severe anxiety and trust issues. He have a larger home with a good sized fenced in yard full of love and fun! Reach out with any questions! I work full time from home Monday thru Friday. I am home the majority of the days my home schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to care for pets anytime of the day. We have 2 dogs, one large one small. We have wood and tiles throughout the home in case of accidents. Our home is 2700 sqft with a decent sized fenced in yard perfect for play time. We have a large patio that we utilize often that is covered with a large fan and plenty of shade. We don’t usually let the pups outside without us being out there.

About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!


About: My husband (Joey) and I work as a team and specialize in canine care. We have a soft spot in our hearts for rescued, especially. My husband and I own four of our own, including a sweet special needs guy who needs a cart to walk around in. We understand that each dog is unique and love figuring out how to best make them feel comfortable. For example, two of our other dogs have anxiety that manifests differently, and we’ve had to work to figure out ways to meet their needs. I have been able to translate the work that I do regularly in Applied Behavior Analysis as a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst to life with my pets. Joey now works from home, primarily, but previously had two years of experience working at a vet clinic and as a dog trainer. We kindly ask that all perspective pets that we watch are up to date on vaccinations, have a collar on with a tag or are microchipped, and are on flea and tick prevention. Joey currently works from home Mondays and Fridays, which fortunately gives him flexibility to spend time with the dogs and let them out/play as needed. He can also use his lunch break to do visits or dog walks. I work at a school, so I’m sometimes available when school is not in session. We are both off work on weekends. I have a fenced yard, and four friendly dogs to play with yours! I have experience crate training if needed, but will work with whatever your preferences are to make you and your pup as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Kellie! I’ve cared for animals my whole life—from beloved family dogs to backyard chickens to barn cats. I currently have a small backyard chicken farm, a big, gentle livestock guardian dog, Mellow, and two indoor pups: Gin, a calm, senior Boxer mix, and Babs, a bouncy and hilarious 1-year-old Chihuahua mix. They’re all well trained, social, and love making new friends—Gin brings the chill energy and Babs brings the zoomies! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and daycare. While I specialize in dogs at my home, I’m happy to drop in for cats or small animals too. I’ve fostered multiple dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, seniors, and shy pups needing time to adjust. I’m patient, calm, and experienced in helping animals feel safe, secure, and loved. I also have a background in farm animal care and can handle feeding routines, medications, and animals with a variety of temperaments or quirks. Whether it's a puppy who needs structure, a senior dog who needs extra care, or a cat who prefers to be left alone—I respect their pace and their comfort. I keep a peaceful, structured routine and I work from home so your pets will have the attention they deserve. I’ll treat them like family—whether it’s belly rubs, bedtime routines, outdoor play, or quiet companionship while you’re away. Let me know how I can help you (and your pets) feel at ease while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and live on a small backyard farm. I’m up early, I take regular breaks throughout the day to care for animals, and I’m home most evenings and nights. That means your pets will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and consistency. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or overnight boarding, I’m able to keep a calm, reliable rhythm for them while you’re away. I take safety seriously—whether your pet is in my home or I’m visiting yours. At my home, pets are introduced slowly and supervised during interactions with my friendly dogs. I never leave pets unsupervised together until I know they’re fully comfortable. I maintain clean spaces, fresh water, and a structured but calm environment with lots of cuddles and quiet time. I follow feeding instructions closely and can administer oral meds if needed. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible and provide updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I treat every animal like my own—and every home with the same care I’d want for mine.

“Klervy is amazing! She went above and beyond. She gave me updates and sent pictures throughout the day and even kept him an hour after scheduled pick up time due to team meetings I had. I would recommend Klervy 1000%”



“Phyllis was wonderful! She made sure my dog would be comfortable by doing a meet and greet before our scheduled daycare date. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and we would gladly have Sherman stay with Phyllis again.”


About: I have fostered puppies through Paws and Claws pet shelter in Fayetteville and have always had animals (cats, dogs, hamsters) in my home. I also have experience with kids. I was a nanny for 2 years in high school before I moved for college and babysat for several other families before that as well. I sometimes helped my mom with her students when she was a pre school teacher which gave me lots of experience with young kids as well as parents and grandparents. I had a dog and 2 cats at home in North Carolina that I help take care of when I am home. When I come back to Arkansas for school my cat comes with me so I am responsible for him day to day. When home with my dog, I help walk him and feed him. I also clean out litter boxes when back home and here. I take my cat to the vet when needed and feed him on a schedule. I keep an AirTag on his collar as well for safety purposes because before moving here he was an indoor/outdoor cat. I try to give my pets their freedom, but also do my best to keep certain limits at times.

About: Caring for pets — whether furry or not — is truly one of the greatest joys in my life. As a parent to both a baby and pets, I completely understand the trust, love, and even the nerves that come with leaving your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide not only excellent care for your pets but also peace of mind for you. I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet at least two days before any booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident. I am experienced in administering medications, providing individualized attention, and catering to pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’d love to chat 🐾 I work remote full time M-F, which allows me to manage my schedule thoughtfully that aligns with your needs. My calendar is updated daily so it’s always easy to plan ahead with me! I can easily adapt to any schedule that is needed! I am open to crates and scheduled outside/park time and I have an SUV so I’m able to take animals on adventures if allowed 🐾
