1. Clare U.

“Clare went above and beyond for my crew of cats and chickens! I never had to worry about their care at all. She was an extremely thorough and consistent communicator. She always left a detailed report with tons of pictures. Not only did she complete the chores, but she went out of her way to spend a lot of quality time with them. She took the extra time to earn the trust of my shyest cat and also gave enrichment opportunities to my chickens. She even agreed to take on the job with short notice. I’m really thankful for everything she did and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

9. Payton R.
About: About Me: Hey!! My name is Payton, and I'm an experienced, compassionate pet lover who’s excited to take care of your furry family members. I have roughly 6 years of pet-sitting experience, but have lived in a house full of pets my whole life. I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether it's going for a long walk, playing in the yard, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I am a first year college student, so my weekday schedule varies depending on my classes, but i still have a moderate amount of availability for drop-ins and dog walking! If I am not traveling back home, I would love to keep your pet at my house for a play date with my puppy! Why You Should Choose Me: * Experienced & Reliable: I've have been around a variety of different dogs and cats, and understand that they are all the same. I will make sure to tailor my care to yours and their liking! * Flexible Services: I offer a variety of services, including dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they need. * Safety First: I understand the kind of responsibility that it is to take care of pets, especially those who are not my own. I strive to do the best I can to keep you reassured that your pets are in good hands. * Love & Attention: I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can trust that your pet will be pampered with affection, and can keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day if requested. I am currently a first year college student seeking a nursing degree, so some hours during the week days are full. I have a lot of availability during the weekends, as well as a moderate amount during the week. I live in a house with an unfenced backyard, so will need a leash for potty breaks, and live in a nice neighborhood where I can take your pet on a walk during the day. If needed, I have a large sized crate, where I can crate them. I also have a puppy of my own that can keep your pets company!


10. Morgan R.

“Morgan was great! Very communicative and sent photos each day. My cat is pretty wary of new people but he immediately took to her. Will be using again.”


11. Grace F.
About: Hi! I’m Grace and I absolutely love animals! I’ve taken care of my cat since I got her in third grade and though I don’t have a dog I’ve always wanted one which makes me even more excited to meet people’s. I am comfortable around all breeds and ages. I am currently a college student at University of Arkansas but have plenty of time before and after classes to care for pets. I am rarely out of town besides holidays and don’t usually have activities longer than a few hours. I am only able to care for pets in a clients home but I am very organized and make sure to follow any routines listed. I love being active and going on walks if that’s what your pet needs, and I plan to give them plenty of attention!




12. Miranda G.
About: My husband (Joey) and I work as a team with dog care. We have a soft spot in our hearts for rescue dogs, especially. My husband and I own three of our own, including a sweet special needs guy who needs a cart to walk around in. I understand that each dog is special, and love figuring out how to best make them feel comfortable. For example, another one of our dogs has anxiety, and we’ve had to work to figure out why she does the quirky things she does. I have been able to translate the work that I do regularly in Applied Behavior Analysis to life with my family (and pets). I am home most of the day working online. I enjoy walking on the Frisco Trail or just strolling downtown! In addition to taking care of our own special needs dog and senior dogs, Joey now works from home but previously has two years of experience between working at a vet clinic and as a dog trainer. Joey currently works from home full time, 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. We are both off work on weekends. I have a fenced yard, and three 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.


13. Sydnie M.
“Sydnie is a very loving, giving and selfless person! She loves all nature, animals, and especially pets!! The special qualities that set Sydnie apart from other pet caregivers is her true desire for their happiness!! She really and truly cares about their feelings and emotions throughout the day!! She is always very attentive and always aware of the pet's feelings because she is always tuned-in to how they feel!! By being super attentive and always asking herself are they happy rather than sad?; Need petting rather than space?; Are they content rather than anxious?; Are they satisfied rather than hungry? Are they ready to play rather than bored? Because of these reasons, despite your absence which is difficult on pets, Sydnie will figure out ways to keep your pet really happy in your while you are away!!!”


14. Aubrey I.
About: I have experience taking care of puppies and dogs for years. I have crate trained and potty trained my current dog and love going on walks with him! I work overnights at the hospital so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to care for all of your dogs needs! I have a fenced in backyard for them to play in and I also have a pup at home who loves meeting and making new dog friends!


15. Tempe O.

“Tempe helped me last minute and was great with all 3 of my big dogs!! They are friendly but vocal and high energy, and she handled it with ease. I will absolutely be using her again and as a fellow Rover myself, I highly recommend Tempe!”


16. Rani R.
“I know Rani for years and she is animal lovers. We just moved to Arkansas and I came from different states so my husband and I are needed to go out of state for family reasons or personal things. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs at home, she always helped me out with my babies. We have couple of “schedule” for each babies we have but Rani good with all that. When I back home, all my babies always happy! I definitely recommend Rani!”
