Elizabeth was awesome! I highly recommend her. She would send me pictures of Luna everyday. It really helps me not stress about leaving her. I can tell that Luna was well fed and well cared for. I will be looking at Elizabeth's availability in the future when I take another trip!

Literally a god send. Our dog has many needs and taking care of him just seems to come as second nature to her. She’s great and will become our first option when needing service.

Cannot recommend Alexa enough. I have two doodles that I get very nervous about leaving with a sitter but Alexa is truly truly the best and I will 100% be booking her again. She gave them excellent attention, long walks, gave meds as needed and kept me updated with pictures and texts the whole time. My dogs are like my children and I rarely find anyone that I’m comfortable leaving them with- I could not be more grateful that I found Alexa. My girls loved her, too- I’m fairly certain they were a bit disappointed when she left and I came back home! :)

We are repeat happy clients of Sophia! She is our fur nanny ha. She will always be our first choice to house sit for our babies we have a springer that has separation anxiety when I’m away. She is so comfortable with Sophia I don’t think she even realizes I am gone … just having a sleepover with her favorite person. Sophia is wonderful great communicator and very conscientious about how valuable your pets are to you. They love her!! She gives me peace of mind I know my babies are well loved while we’re away!

Madelynn was amazing with my 2 pups! We were first time Rover users & she made us feel so comfortable with the process. She was super responsive to any text I sent and sent updates throughout her overnight stay at our house. My dogs can be a lot but they LOVED her, and she did so well with them. I cannot recommend her enough. She truly went above and beyond and respected everything we asked of her. She even was willing to come back after the scheduled end time to take my dogs potty and feed them due to travel issues we had. She truly is amazing & I can’t recommend her enough. She makes you feel so comfortable about everything and truly will take care of your babies!!

He responds quickly and professionally to questions and sent pics several times during the stay. My pup was so happy when I got home and clearly well taken care of. My home was also as clean when I returned as when I left. Highly recommend.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 14. I have been responsible for walking, dog sitting, and have helped with puppies all the way to dogs who are 10 years old. I am currently a Junior at the U of A and I think dog sitting would be perfect for my routine. I think being able to pick my schedule would be very helpful. I also miss my dog at home and so being able to work and also be with dogs sounds like the perfect job. I am able to visit your house 2-3 times a day to help let your dogs out and feed them of course. I can also stay the night if that is helpful. I love going on walks myself so if you need someone to just take your dog on a walk I would love to help.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets my whole life as I grew up with dogs, birds, and cats. After I moved away from home I adopted my own precious kitty named Socks! I currently work at a vet clinic where I have learned how to give medication, baths, nails trims and have gained experience on the proper care and handling of stressed, senior, and special needs animals. I would love to get to meet your furry friend :) I’m currently working part time and I’m a full time student at the University of Arkansas. However, my schedule allows for plenty of time in between for house sitting, walks, and drop-ins. With my dogs I make sure that they get the best care including nail trims, ear cleanings, baths, proper medication administration, and lots of cuddles and snacks! With my cat I make sure that she always has fresh food and water as well as a clean litter box. She gets brushed out every few days to prevent hairballs and I provide her nail trims every 2 weeks. She also gets plenty of cuddles whenever she desires!

About: I am a NWA local who has been pet sitting for 7 years. I love animals as I have 3 of my own. My largest pet sitting assignment has been 7, 2 dogs and 5 cats! I work a full time job but I would work to the best of my ability to ensure that your pet is loved and cared for as if it you taking care of them. It’s important to me to meet your pet prior to booking a pet sitting assignment. I believe that I should meet your pet so that I am able to determine if I can safely care for you pet!

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

I felt that Rae was able to provide the best possible care while we were away and Mila has been calm and happy and stress free since our return. We highly recommend Rae and will absolutely reach out again in the future.

Priscilla is responsible, loving, and caring, in general, but especially as a pet caregiver. She stayed with my two dogs, while we were on vacation, and gave them the best care that a pet owner could hope for. We knew our dogs were safe and well cared for with Priscilla. She is a diligent, trustworthy, and compassionate. Priscilla will make sure your pets are treated to the love, care, and affection we all know they deserve. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a pet caregiver.
