We booked Bonnie to watch our 5 dogs for a week. She was extremely attentive to the dogs and gave them so much love while we were gone. She kept us updated on any changes in the schedule that may have come up. We got plenty of photos and videos, we are so happy with Bonnie’s stay and will definitely use her again!

I seriously can’t say enough good things about Emily. She house sat and watched all of my pets.. cats, rabbits, and even my reptiles, and absolutely crushed it. I was gone for an entire week, which made me nervous, especially having a medically-needy cat, but everything went perfectly. Her communication was consistent the whole time. She sent updates, photos, and videos that made me feel totally at ease. They were humorous and cute, showing that my animals were being loved and cared for by a professional. She even filmed the walkthrough when I was explaining everyone’s care routines so she could make sure she got everything right. That kind of effort and thoughtfulness is rare, and it meant so much. Everything was spotless when I got home, and every single pet looked happy and cared for. She’s trustworthy, responsible, and just genuinely great with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have her pet sit again.

Kendra took exceptional care of our pet while we were away. Given my pet is a picky eater ,She ensured that food and medicine are given on time and he gets his daily exercise. The only thing we noticed was the fee is on the higher side and can add up if frequent service is needed. It comforted us to see the level of care she provided and highly recommend her.

Amelia was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My cat is ridiculously spoiled and she treated him like a king. Even had a Christmas ornament made with his face on it!

Kaylee was amazing! It was our first time using a sitter in our new home, in a new city and she made it feel like we never left! She sent us plenty of pictures and kept us updated on their eating habits and potty breaks (all things that we requested). She handled our picky eater dog like a champ and had no issue with the miles long of instructions we left her. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every capacity and we will be using her every time she is available and willing when we leave town again. I would recommend her to everyone (as long as they don’t interfere with the dates we’re going out of town, I call dibs!)

About: I've been taking care of other people's pets from a very young age. I started at 10 and I've loved every minute of it since the beginning. I'll love your pet just as much as you do (maybe even a little more!) while they're in my care. They will enjoy frequent potty breaks, nice walks, treats, unconditional love, and play time with me. I'm more than willing to administer simple medications, such as pills, eye drops, and liquids. Drop-In and House Sitting pets will have their bowls washed clean every day and will be fed accordingly, with fresh water as well. Your pets mean a lot to you, and I want them to receive the same affection and care that you provide to them! 🐾 I’m a stay at home mom and entrepreneur so I’m always looking for work to do that can fit in my schedule! I have six cats and one dog at home that I’m responsible for. That means, I do these tasks daily: wash/fill food and water bowls, clean litter boxes and dog waste from the yard, basic grooming such as nail clipping and fur brushing, enriching play and medications when necessary. My pets receive fresh food and water in clean bowls every day, clean litter boxes and a waste free yard, needed grooming such as brushing or nail trims, and enriching play.

Brianna was absolutely amazing! She watched my pug Maple and stayed at my home while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She went above and beyond. Constant communication, frequent updates and photos, and I could tell Maple was in great hands the entire time. Brianna is incredibly polite, kind, and respectful, and you can truly tell she loves animals. Maple adored her, and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

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.

About: I don’t have any kids I believe I was put on this earth to raise my fur babies and make sure they never have empty bellies. I am pretty much comfortable with mostly any dogs. I don’t do well with bigger dogs that jump as I’m a shorty. I love my senior dogs. My oldest is coming up on 9. I’m comfortable around puppies as well and cleaning up after them if needed. I was raised on a farm so I have experience with chickens and ducks as well as reptiles. I’m comfortable doing snake feedings as long as they are docile. Feeding or watering your farm animals as well for additional fees. I currently work part time and usually weekends only. In the rare event I will pick up a few shifts during the week. I will keep my schedule updated as I know it. I have 3 dogs, small, medium, and large. Two of my dogs are rescues and my other one is a very spoiled chihuahua princess at just 3 pounds. I am more so leaning towards house drop ins. My 3 are older and more laid back so they wouldn’t do well with a hyper dog. My dogs are also on a feeding schedule every night at 7 on the dot is dinner, and they don’t let me forget.

We had someone cancel at the last minute and Melissa saved the day!! She was very professional and prompt with replying. She sent lots of photos which put us at ease. My normally very standoffish cat snuggled with her. Definitely looking to hire her again!!
