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.

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: My family has always had pets and I’ve watch friends and family’s pets while they have been away many times. I love going on walks with pets and getting to know their personalities. My weekends are free all day and available, I am happy to do overnight care for dog and cats. I am currently able to do anytime through Monday-Friday. I have always valued patience and gentleness with pets. I always want to make sure I do my job the way you want me to and I will communicate if there are any problems that come up.

Lilly was wonderful! She is very sweet and took great care of my dog. Charlie loved her. I could tell when I got back that he had bonded with her and she was now his friend.

Grace is wonderful! She is kind, considerate, and did such a great job with our cat. She stayed a week in our home and treated it as her own, accepting packages, keeping things clean, sending us pictures, and letting us know about her days while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again!

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.

Joshua agreed to watch our dogs on a last minute booking for our 9 day trip. He came over to meet the boys and get some verbal instructions on caring for them. He sent photos throughout his visit and had great communication with us. He brought in any mail or packages, and even washed his towels and sheets on his last night. Can’t recommend him enough and we will definitely rebook with him in the future.

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!

About: I’ve had one year as a volunteer at an animal clinic. I do have experience in giving animals medicine, giving baths, and little experience in training. I am home all day, the only time I’d leave is to possibly take your fur babies to the park! I’m very flexible so just let me know what you need/ want and I’m happy to do it! I do not have a backyard but I live next to a beautiful bike trail which is perfect for walking and playing at the park it leads too. I live with my boyfriend and he enjoys playing with dogs just as much as I do. We have 2 dogs and a cat of our own but they’re all so playful and loves the company of other fur friends. I work part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I’m always free on weekends as well. I go into work about 2-3 days a week for 3-4 hours They will get plenty of walks and playtime when staying at my home. My dogs love to play and will keep them busy! They’ll be loved on by me and bf and be fed and watered according to the schedule you provide!

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!

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!!!

This was my first time leaving my doggo with strangers but Blake seemed to understand my anxiety around it. 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.

Raelynn did a fantastic job watching our dog. She took her on multiple walks, gave her lots of cuddles, and was kind enough to send multiple pictures throughout the sitting. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again.

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.

The pets seem happy and healthy when we came back. She stayed in communication before, during, and after around planning, timing, and how they were doing. However, I had said we would be on a tight timeline and asked her to arrive on the early side of the booking window and whether or not her own personal pets would conflict with my care of mine. She arrived at the literal last minute of the booking window and then left hours early to return to her own pets knowing our destructive puppy did not have a kennel at my house at the time and my older dog has separation anxiety (hence hiring the house sitter instead of drop in visits). I think from a sitter perspective she’s great for the pets, but might not be best for pets with separation anxiety or if you have a tight schedule.

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’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.
