“I found Megan was very responsible. My dog, Maizie, was well taken care of and I enjoyed the pictures Megan sent very much. My house was in great order when I returned.”
“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!”
“Mary was excellent and provided great care for my dogs and cat. She was super professional, communicative and sent pics often to update us. I would highly recommend. She has been the best experience we have had on Rover”
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, communicative, and kind. She took amazing care of my pups, sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Burgundy has been wonderful with our dogs. Our dogs are a bit shy, nervous and take some time warming up to new people. Burgundy was very patient with them and by the second time she stayed with them, they were very comfortable. She has sent photos to show us what our dogs are up to. Very prompt with texts. She is just a nice person overall and you get that sense from the second you meet her.”
“We can't say enough good things about Madelynn S. She did such an incredible job with our 3 furbabies. We don't leave them often because two of them are elderly. She handled them like a pro and kept them safe during the 4th of July and all the noise they hate so much. We would recommend Madelynn to anyone and will be requesting her again to watch our babies. Thanks for being such a great caregiver Madelynn!”
“Janna was GREAT with my cat, Gigi! She clearly loved her and was immediately comfortable with her. She sent lots of great (and artistic) pictures of her every day and kept me updated on everything going on. I highly recommend her for taking care of your kitty!”
About: I grew up with dogs, have house and dog sat for many family friends, and I have a sweet senior kitty who I rescued a couple of years ago! I love meeting any and all pets, and will give them the quality care they deserve. I'm a full-time college student with classes stacked on Tuesday and Thursday, so i have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. While my classes are stacked on those days, they are only from 9-3! I will happily walk your pet(s), play with them, and keep their area tidy in your home! I'm comfortable administering medicine for the fur-babies that need it, and I have plenty of experience with senior pets.
“Jordyn did a great job sitting for my babies. They were very relaxed and happy when I returned. She sent pictures and even a video often - very appreciated. I will definitely use her again.”
“Alexa was great! Really good communication- we enjoyed all the updates we got. Got along really well with our pets! Will definitely book her again when needed in the future :)”
“Alexis was amazing, she sent us pictures and kept us updated on our pups. She made sure our puppy was taken care of. I would definitely be using her in our next vacation plans to watch our kids.”
“Michaela was wonderful! She took the best care of my boys. I got pictures daily and sometimes multiple times through the day. She kept in the know and really just loved the boys the way they’re used to. She was a true blessing. Will be using again for sure!!”
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’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!
“April made my trip so much more relaxing. She went above and beyond to check in and let me know how my pups were doing the entire time I was gone. I will be using her again and again. And highly recommend her for any of your pup needs.”
“Rae was amazing with our super unique pit husky babe. I really felt like she was able to pay attention to her cues and understand what Mila needed at different times. 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.”
