“Cynthia was amazing with my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat was happy and comfortable when I got back, and it was clear Cynthia genuinely cared for him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Anna was so good with my dogs and followed all instructions. She was super respectful of my home, and left without a trace. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my two dogs, and upon my return home they were relaxed and happy. I will definitely be hiring Anna again! Wonderful!”

“Katelyn was awesome! She took excellent care of my two dogs and my home. She sent photos and video of my pups multiple times a day, kept me informed, and even dealt with arriving packages, watering my plants, and other various tasks. Upon returning home, I found happy, healthy dogs and my house spotless and clean. I would most definitely book Katelyn again in the future!”

About: I have years of experience dogsitting and taking care of animals in general. I am absolutely willing to take care of different animals as well. I'm not afraid to handle multiple dogs, as I used to live in a house with 7 of them. I was part of their care as well. I currently work from 7:30am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. I am available every day of the week. I can feed, walk, and kennel animals before I leave for work. After work, I can be available to walk or sit. I am not able to care for pets in my home, but I am availble to take care of them however necessary in the client's home.

“Ana was great to work with and we will be using her again!! She immediately was loved by our (skittish) Aussie and both cats. She communicates well and responds quickly! It’s nice having someone you trust with your babies and home while gone on a trip. Ana let us enjoy our wedding anniversary without any worry!”


“Emma did a great job looking after my two pups! She was on time, provided great care to Milo & Cooper, and provided us with updated throughout the day! She even made sure the house was even cleaner than she found it. We will definitely be using Emma again and recommend you reach out to her the next time you need a dog/house sitter!”

“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!”

“Rachel was amazing!! She watched our 1yr old puppy, a 70lb sheepadoodle, and home while we were gone for Thanksgiving. She gave us videos and pictures and updates often, which was greatly appreciated as this was our first time being away from our Charlie. Charlie warmed up to Rachel in minutes, and I could tell I had nothing to worry about. Our home was as clean, if not cleaner, than when we left! Above and beyond what we could have asked for in a pet/house sitter. Rachel will be our number one choice next time we can't take the pup with us out of town. 5/5 stars!!!”

“Jessi did a wonderful job watching our three dogs! They each received a lot of love from her, spending lots of time playing and cuddling. She is great at communicating and sent several updates and pictures during her stay. Would highly recommend.”
“My animals were so comfortable and happy with Morgan! I have a completely blind dog and two needy cats and they were well taken care of. Morgan was responsive, sent pictures multiple times without me asking, and helped me with an additional stop after my flight was delayed.”


About: I work full time during the week. I am a Veterinarian Assistant in Fayetteville. I also worked 2 years at the animal ER in Springdale. I have my pet CPR certified, in progress of finishing my fear free certification, love animals, and have a pup of my own. I have worked with a wide range of dogs and cats many years as an assistant and by siting and assisting with friends and family animals. I am easy to get along with and passionate about your pets. I can trim nails, brush, and do some grooming. Willing to get to know your pet and adapt to what they like to do. I am also willing to do some basic training and manners as well. Excited to get to work! I am currently working full time at a vet clinic in Fayetteville, so don't have a lot of free time during the day. I make it a priority to make up early and end my day with animals if at all possible so I would love to get to start my day or end my day making your fur baby happy. I currently don't have the space to offer boarding care. My main priority of in home care is making sure your pet remains comfortable and happy in their own home. I try to stick to their likes and dislikes and routines.
“Leah did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She took great care of my home, keeping everything neat and tidy, and genuinely cared for my pups as if they were her own. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and kept me updated if anything was needed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a dog of my own that LOVES playing or just being around other dogs. I also love, loving on dogs of all ages! I’m in school currently, but this schedule allows for breaks during the day and all evening, with no other obligations. I’m never gone for more than 2-3 hours I love going on walks, I spend a lot of time at the dog park with my own dog. I am familiar with dogs of all ages and size.
