She’s the sweetest, most dependable person and always willing to go above and beyond to help. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. Highly, highly recommend. You and your pets will be in the best hands!”
“Cassi is a natural at taking care of fur babies. She is very professional and clearly loves what she does. We loved getting updates about the puppies while we were gone as well as lots of pictures. She even worked with the youngest one on some of the basics! She followed our plans perfecty. We will absolutely use Cassi again and we highly recommend her!”

About: I have years of experience raising puppies, and now I’m enjoying every stage of life with my dogs I also have two cats who’ve been part of my family for over 10 years! I currently work full time from home so I am able to be home with the pets all day long. I can give multiple potty breaks and can take the babies out for play during the day! I care for your fur babies like they’re my own – whether they like it or not. I love all dogs, and I’m happy to give medications if needed, along with more attention than they probably signed up for.
“I believe this is the 3rd time using Bonnie.... but as always my pets were taken care of. Apparently my cat is warming up to her very well because he gets the zoomies and was playing with her. Lol! She just does exactly what is needed and gives them a lot of attention.”
About: If you have an active dog, I'd love to go on runs with them! I'm a lifelong pet lover with hands-on experience caring for all kinds of personalities—puppies, seniors, shy pets, and playful ones too. I know every pet is unique, and I’ll treat yours like my own. :) I'm a medical school student, so my schedule is surprisingly flexible—especially for pet care! I can plan visits around my classes and make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I have two cats at home, so I’m not able to offer in-home boarding, but I’d love to care for your pets in their own space! I focus on creating a safe and calm environment where they feel secure and loved. I’ll stick to their routine and give them all the attention they need.
“No complaints. She provided drop-in visits for my senior cat. Great sitter. Pictures were sent and communication was great. I recommend her without any reservation.”
“Very respectful with my fur babies and my home. Sent daily updates. Just a awesome person! Will definitely be using her when needed”

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.

“Arilyn was amazing with our two boys! She kept us updated while we were gone and was so patient and sweet to our pups and very accommodating.”
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.
