About: What sets me apart is my reliability and communication. You’ll always know how your pet is doing with regular updates, photos, and quick responses from me! I’m currently working weekdays 9-5. So I am available evenings and on weekends! Feel free to reach out and we can set up a time! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, patient, and mindful in every situation—whether we’re on a walk or I’m dropping by your home.

About: I will take care of your pets like my own. I've taken care of dogs with dietary issues, hip/spine injuries, infections and open wound care, drainage, post-surgical care. I feel comfortable administring medications and cleaning/dressing wounds (ears eyes paws and mouth included) as prescribed by Vet. I've taken care of seniors and puppies, various sizes 15-180lb, various breeds. I have handled all personalities - sweet, outgoing, too friendly, curious, anxious, escape artists, reactive and aggressive pups. I looove BIG PAWS! XXL dogs are my favorite! I can teach some basic training commands and work on leash reactivity and pulling. I would like to do a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) for 10 minutes before scheduling care (this familiarity will help your pet feel at ease, instead of a total stranger trying to walk them or enter their home). I can room/board established nonreactive clients (must be ok with small animals and kids) on a case by case basis. I unfortunately cannot care for cats due to severe allergies/asthma. (But will gladly pet them while holding my breath!) Unrelated, but I can also water and prune your plants. Whatever you need, I'll make it work. I'm free on weekends, m/w/f, and mornings+evenings on t/th. I will consider boarding non-reactive non-feline animals, must be discussed in advance. I start the day with a scrubbed clean water bowl. Then we can play with toys, throw ball, go outside on a slow stroll, walk, or run, all depending on the pet's needs. Your pets will get to enjoy outside time, sniff as much as they please. If your dog's recall is reliable, I can discuss off-leash time, but only with consent, and only after the dog is an established client. If you are comfortable with it, I will drive them to nearby wooded parks so they can sniff to their heart's content. Whatever your pet needs and wants, is what I will provide. I will care for them like I do for mine.

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.

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: Hello!! My name is Leo and I’m a fine arts student here at the University of Arkansas. I’ve been in Fayetteville all my life and love our local art scene. I have two cats named Pumpernickel and Belladonna, and I adore animals! I pet sit on a weekly basis for several friends of mine while they’re out of town or working, and I love spending time with their animals. During summer break, I’ll be able to spend as much time with your animals as you need! As long as I’m able to go check on my babies once a day, I don’t mind spending plenty of time giving tlc to your little critters. During the semester, I’ll only have classes on tuesday and thursday, which gives me plenty of time to be with your babies. I’m always flexible, and do my best to accommodate every need. I’m a big fan of cuddles and love, and am very understanding with special needs. I love sweet animals and I especially love spending time with them. Be as particular in your instructions as you need, I’m very detail oriented and a chronic double checker.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a very flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I love being outdoors and spending time walking, playing, and exploring with dogs. I live on acreage with plenty of open space and private trails where your dog can get lots of exercise and fresh air. I’m happy to walk dogs leashed or unleashed—whatever you prefer and feel most comfortable with. If your dog is more of a couch potato than an athlete, that’s perfectly fine too! I have plenty of experience with older, calm, and low-energy pets and am happy to match whatever pace fits your dog’s personality—whether that’s an adventure walk or just relaxing together at home. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they get the attention and routine they need. Communication is a top priority for me. You’ll receive frequent updates, photos, and messages so you always feel connected while you’re away. Please note: I don’t stay overnight at clients’ homes, but I’m happy to offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, and extended daytime visits. I look forward to caring for your furry family member! With a flexible daily schedule, I can give your dog consistent care and companionship instead of rushing in and out. Your pet will always be a priority in my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I am reliable, responsible, follow instructions carefully, and always treat every dog like my own.

About: I previously working in a vet office I know how to handle all dogs and cats. I understand that both old pets and puppies need extra care. I can come by during the day since I am a stay at home mom I don’t have a scheduled job. I work on my own time. I am currently a stay at home mom, I have all day to give your pets all the attention they need! I’m very dependable person. I will do drop ins at your house. I come by in the morning and evening, while I am there I will walk, or take dog outside, or if you prefer a dog walk I can do that too. While I’m there I will freshen all water and food, of course send you a picture of what your pet is up to.

About: I’m Caryssa and I have been pet-sitting for about 2 years now. I am looking to take on some new clients as I am going to be up in the Fayetteville/NWA area this summer. I have taken care of both dogs and cats, and have taken care of dogs that need medication given to them. While my current clientele is a small number I have always been asked to come back to take care of their babies! I make sure to check in with you and send pictures! I hope to make sure everyone that I sit for, feels that their animals are safe and loved while they are gone. I am currently looking to make this my part time job for the summer, and outside of one main vacation I have plenty of time to come and take care of your pet/s! I have had dogs growing up from little to big, and I currently have cats so I understand what is needed to take care of them. I also have taken care of dogs while pet sitting that need medication and I am able to do that efficiently.

About: I have 2+ years experience working with Almost Home Animal Shelter in Van Buren Arkansas, walking, feeding, medicating, playing, and cleaning up for pups. I also have several years experience with pet sitting for friends, family, and friends-of-friends with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve fostered and worked for multiple doggy daycares and I can honestly say that taking care of people’s pets in one of my passions because animals deserve the best care possible to honor the love that they give us and that we have for them. I am available for pet sitting, walking and boarding of both cats and dogs 7 days a week during the summer months. I get up when they do, or can come ‘round in the morning to play with them or take them on walks, feed etc. Depending on your needs I can be more active or more hands off with their schedule. Doors of clients homes with be locked to their specifications, entry and exit of the home will be on their given schedule, animals will be secured with all equipment provided (collar types/harnesses/etc) and I promise to be vigilant and aware with their animal at all times.

About: I got my first dog when I was 6 and learning how to care for my dog then had made me the best pet mom to my two dogs and cat today! I work full time Monday- Friday 8-5pm but am free on Fridays-Sundays! I will be available to watch them on weekends and walk them during weekends! I have leashes I walk my dogs on and they love playing with other dogs but I do have two crates I can put them in if need be.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of blood hounds! I’ve always loved animals, and have a special place in my heart for poodles. I also love cats, as I grew up with barn cats and house cats alike! I have one cat, Sweetheart, who’s an 11 year old rescue and a 1 year old Maltipoo who loves to get into mischief! I am a part-time student, part-time nurse at the moment. I work night-shift when nursing, so I occasionally have days to myself and would love to spend the time taking care of pets! I love to walk and try to get 10,000 steps in a day, so if you are looking for a dog walker, I can promise your pup will get some good exercise! If your dog or cat is staying over, they will receive lots of affection - including play time, frequent walks, and likely a play pal via my pup Rosie!

“Jessica has been great with watching our dog. She communicates well and makes sure to let me know how everything goes. I’ll contact her if I need someone to watch my dog again!”

About: Hey! My name is Rosie and I am a big animal lover! I am a freshman in college and would love to take care of your fur baby! Growing up I have always had either a cat or a dog in my home. I currently have two dogs (Martha and Augie) and one cat (Sirius Black). In the past and currently I have helped pet sit for friends, family members and those in my community! Because of my past of having both cats and dogs I have prior knowledge on both species and how to take care of them. I have worked with dogs that can be a bit territorial and cats that seem a bit defensive when it comes to new people, from those experiences I have learned how to handle situations in a manner that relieve the stress of both the animal and care taker. My dog Augie is young and I have taught him all of his commands in French! My other dog Martha is older in age, from watching her grow in age since being a puppy I have learned the behaviors of older dogs and how to take care of their needs so they feel comfortable. I have given medication to dogs and cats before and understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. I am freshman in college and currently not working a full time job or part time. Which gives me free time to be able to help take care of your fur babies! My availability can be flexible and I can be available during the day or evenings for both weekdays and weekends. Times may vary during the day and evening but I will be able to check in on both cats and dogs twice a day at least. More if needed. I can assure you that your home will be treated with the most up respect and cleanliness. When checking in on your pet I will make sure that they will have clean water and food. If they make a mess or have an accident I will clean it up and make sure they are left in a clean environment. With the knowledge of taking care of dogs and cats in the past I understand the seriousness of making sure nothing is in reach of them getting into something they shouldn’t.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. Mine have been raised being treated like little humans and I cant wait to treat yours the exact same. I have cared for special needs dogs, puppies, and seniors. I have a special place in my heart for animals, and absolutely understand the want for a sitter that will love on your babies as much as you do! I am currently available almost all day everyday, and most weekends. On the occasion that I have errands to run, I am more than happy to take your love bug with me if they don’t like to stay home alone! I have two fur babies for your pets to hangout with (if he/she does good with other dogs)!One is big, one is small, and they are both inside dogs! We take them outside to play ball through the day and on plenty of walks! I have a fenced yard and walking paths all through my neighborhood! My parents live close, and my dogs love them just as much, so if your pets prefer to be by themselves that’s totally doable!! I’m pretty flexible, so I can give them as much or as little exercise as needed! If you’d prefer me be at your home, that’s perfectly fine as well!

About: I love caring for animals - both my own and for others! I have sat dogs for friends on deployment, taken care of mixed pet households (including cats and dogs), cared for senior and disabled dogs, and have experience caring for a wide range of non-traditional pets as well. I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to a wonderful daughter, and my partner works from home, so I have flexibility in my daily and weekly schedules. I understand that different pets need different care and support. Have a super energetic dog? I love playing fetch and going on long walks. Have a kitty that needs silence and space? I'm happy to provide quiet company and respect their boundaries. I'm attentive, consistent, detail-oriented, and responsive. I take caring for your animals as seriously as my own.
