“Jennifer was wonderful with my cat. She communicated very well and kept me updated during her visits. When she had trouble finding my cat one day (because he was hiding way better that I thought he could), she took extra time to check the house thoroughly for him and made sure he had everything he needed before she left. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the area!”
“Emily is such a great cat sitter! She not only took great care of our cat, but went above and beyond by helpings us with an impromptu visit to make sure our cat would be okay when our flight was delayed. She stands out from previous sitters, as it’s clear that she genuinely likes cats, is responsible, and detail oriented. Emily will be my go-to the next time our cat needs care!”
“Cassie was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with pictures and helped me to have peace of mind. She was very helpful in accommodating my short notice. She was very responsive and answered all questions I had! I definitely will be trusting her with my babies again!”
“Amazing! Miguel went above and beyond. Great care & communication. I was so nice to have no worries about my cat being well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely use again. Thanks for everything!”
“Very respectful with my fur babies and my home. Sent daily updates. Just a awesome person! Will definitely be using her when needed”
“Sydney is a wonderful sitter! I highly recommend her for watching your fur babies. She sent me pictures and updates of my cat while I was gone. She scheduled a meet and greet before sitting, so she was able to get to know my cat and where all of his things were.”
“Bonnie is the best cat sitter I’ve had. She genuinely cares for your pets as if they are her own and goes above and beyond for them. I cannot thank her enough for making me feel less anxious when I have to leave my fur babies behind. Do not hesitate to book her, she’s the best!”
About: I have always cherished my own pets, and my home has a great yard for everyone to enjoy. The back sliding door is constantly opening and closing for the gang to run outside to play and potty! All your babies will get lots of snuggles, exercise if they want to explore the large fenced-in yard, and belly rubs in bed! You can enjoy your vacation without having to worry about the fur-kids. They are in excellent hands and I can be flexible to find a way to suit your specific needs as much as possible. Your pups and pets will be treated like part of the family so they are as stress free as possible while their family is away. Most of my clients are regulars that I have been watching for years. As a stay at home mom, and I am home most of the time. This makes my schedule extremely flexible! Senior pets and special needs pets are no problem because our home is all hard floors making cleanup a breeze and I have the time to offer more individualized care. ++ My style of care is not to crate unless requested by the pet owners. I treat our furry guests like family. So if they prefer to sleep with me on the bed at night, or snuggling on the couch to watch a movie...they can! We have all hard floors and lots of dog blankets for the pups who prefer that, too. In the summer we usually have a shallow pool out for pups to play in. Basically, I treat your babies exactly how I would want mine treated. They need affection, calm caregivers, and familiar environments to keep their stress levels down while away from home. So that is exactly what I strive for. I adhere to owners feeding routines and I usually pets just while they eat so they feel comfortable and safe.
“Hannah did a great job. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She posted photos of our cats and sent them to us each day. She even brought the mail in. We will use her again!”
“I am so grateful for Courtney and Colton. Them taking care of our diabetic kitty made it possible for us to go on a family vacation 😻.”
“She was on time and sent me pictures”
“This is really late for a review but is not a reflection on Taven. She was great with Boo the cat. Taven was flexible when I needed to add more days to the schedule. I will use Taven again and would recommend her to anyone. She was very helpful when Boo misbehaved and is just a great person!”
About: I have up to, if not more, than 1 year of pet experience. I was raised on a farm from the age of 13. I also have experience with dogs and cats alone as I use to be a dog bather and have my own cat. I plan to become a groomer fulltime as well as pet sitter. I am currently unemployed outside of Rover, I am looking to make Rover fulltime once I an get enough clients to keep me up financially. I am also looking to go to school to become a pet groomer. Currently,y schedule is open 24/7. No pet is ever too much! I live in a house with family currently, as I just moved back to the Fort Smith area. As of current, I am unable to do pet watching at my house so I offer house sitting + walk in visits, as well as dog walkin.

About: I've been cat-sitting since high school, watching friends' and neighbors' pets while they traveled. I am a cat owner myself and have personal, in-home experience with the furriest of overlords. I also have practice with the smallest of kittens as a volunteer with the Fort Smith Animal Haven. No cat too big, no beans too small... I can't wait to meet them all!! I'm currently between jobs, so your sit requests are my top priority! First come, first booked, of course, but I will do my best to make room for everyone in my schedule! At this point in time, I will not be offering in-home services as my space is too small and my own pets are too many. Safety is number one, and most cats are calmer (therefore safer) in their own space.
“Ann stayed here in my home with my Chunks!.. He was being very shy but she’d send me videos daily to let me know he was ok.. My niece uses Ann also and highly recommended her. I will most definitely use Ann again if she’s available 🙂👍🏼”
About: I have had pets in my home every since I was 4 years old, and when I moved out on my own, I quickly grew my own pet family! My husband and I have 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues! I am experienced with all sizes of dogs (mini yorkies to mastiffs!) and actually have a span of sizes in my own home. I am also experienced with rescues with complicated backgrounds, history of abuse, and reactivity. I understand that reactivity does not make a dog mean, and I am comfortable with dealing with that! I currently am a student with only one class per week, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry family members! I can come as many times a day as needed, stay overnight, or just come by to feed! Whatever you want/need! At my own home, all of my pets are inside pets, and sleep in the bed with me! I am comfortable with whatever set-up you have in your home, and whatever stage your pet is in. I am experienced with crate training and am comfortable with that as well.

“Merit is one of the biggest animal lovers that I know. She has rescued and cared for more animals than anyone I know. My own dogs adore her and I trust her fully with them (which is saying something because my dogs are basically my children). Merit is extremely knowledgeable in taking care of animals with all kinds of temperament and is not afraid of a challenge. She is patient and kind and I know will make sure your baby is extremely content and well cared for.”
