Cat Sitting in Gravel Ridge

About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!

“Ashleigh was great about communicating all her visits and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Aaliyah was so great! She kept us in the loop, had great communication, and provided lots of updates and photos! I definitely would recommend her to care for your fur babies”

About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.

About: Hi, I'm Renee and I have a deep affection for our furry (and non-furry) friends. I would be honored to share my love and care with your pet as you do the things you need to. I'm a good listener and highly adaptable so any special care your pet needs will not be a problem. Pets are as different as the many colors they come in and they deserve individual care. I am also open to critiques so any way I can be of better assistance please let me know. I look forward to serving your pet. See you soon! I work from home so your pets will get all of the attention they deserve! This allows me to offer a variety of services to fit your needs. I treat your pets like mine with access to the fenced backyard, treats, and toys! Mental and physical exercise is important followed by a nap!

“Jessica was a diligent, loving sitter with a talent for snapping action shots of my kitties at play. She was careful to ensure special diets were observed and both kitties got equal attention/exercise, even though Keet is much whinier than Sonny. I enjoyed lots of pictures while I was away and I felt at ease k owing they were in loving care. She was flexible, communicative, and such a kind person. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Linzi saved us last minute and was so great with our pup. She sent lots of pictures and notes which gave lots of peace of mind <3”

“Miranda is awesome! My German shepherd puppy is vary wary of new people, and he was best friends with her after the first day. She's made sure he's well exercised, fed, and happy. She is very good about communicating and sending pictures/videos of my dog whenever she visits so I can see how he's doing. She's got a lot of experience so she's been able to give me some pointers/tips that have really helped out.”

Edwin F.

“This was our first time using Rover, and Tabitha made it such a wonderful experience! She came by beforehand for a meet and greet, took thoughtful notes to make sure our girls were well cared for. Even our most skittish pup warmed up to her right away! Tabitha was punctual, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We’d be happy to book with her again in the future!”

Lydia S.

“She continues to be our favorite sitter ever! Highly recommend. We get pictures and updates every time she visits and all our animals love her.”

Angel B.

“I booked Tisha at the very last minute (due to a dog sitter cancellation) for some dog walks while I was out of town. Tisha is very responsive and kind -- I always felt like Zoe was in great hands! I feel so fortunate that we were able to find someone so great with only a day's notice! I highly recommend Tisha and would definitely book her again.”

About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always

“So grateful for her care of my babies”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was young, and I am lucky enough to be able to work from home and care for your dogs due to my flexible schedule! I have been dogsitting since 2022 and have enjoyed consistent caretaking of many different pups across the Central Arkansas area, including both smaller to larger dogs as well as younger and senior dogs. I prefer to visit with the family to make sure that their dog is comfortable with me as well as to ensure I know where the essentials are stored, such as foods, medicines, etc. I have had experience as well with administering injectable medicine such as insulin in case your dog is diabetic. I am also happy to chat through any other specific needs and requests for your dog to ensure that they have the best experience under my care. I also have experience with taking care of multiple dogs at once, with three being the most that I have taken care of at one time. As I am a full time professional with a hybrid/remote job, I am able to take care of your pets easily while working. The only thing I need is a Wifi connection and I am good to go to care for your pets! I aim to ensure that your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are out of town. I request that any specific needs, routines, or other things to keep in mind be written down on a piece of paper or relayed to me so that I am able to care for your pet exactly as you need and prefer. I also love to play with them in the yard, take them on walks, and do anything that makes me feel like a natural extension of their daily routine while you are gone. One more thing: if your pet likes to sleep in your bed, I am comfortable with them being on the bed! Otherwise, I am happy to continue their usual bedtime routine.

“Ella was great and took fantastic care of my two cats while I was out of town. Very communicative, caring, and friendly, I highly recommend her if you are in need of a pet sitter.”

Lauren G.

About: I cannot remember a time in my life where I did not have a pet in my house. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, opossums, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. There is no animal I won't pet sit. I am a teacher on summer vacation, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets. I am available to look after them 7 days a week! I live in an apartment, so I am unable to keep your pet at my home, but I do have a dog park on the property, which I can use if your dog desires that kind of freedom. I love going on walks as long as the weather is safe for your pup, playing with their toys inside, or simply snuggling with them while they wait for you to return. I have experience with pets with different energy levels and personalities.

“Lauren is amazing!! I would recommend her for any of your pet needs—my dogs love her and she responds quickly to messages. Will definitely book her again :)”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14! I am the type to say “one second, I need to go pet that cat/dog!” While owners are away, I believe that animals are so much happier staying with someone in their own home or in someone else’s safe home than in a kennel at a boarding facility! Let me be that safe place for your pet(s)! I am working part time currently, while doing online school, so I am home a lot! I have a dog of my own who often needs lots of attention himself, so I am more than experienced with making sure animals get all of it that they need/want! I have a fenced in courtyard area in front of my house, so there is room to run around for pets who stay in my home, and I also have a pet play area to take the animals to! If your pet likes to go for walks, we have a great route for walks! I especially love caring for pets in their own home because I feel that they are always most comfortable there! I always want them to be happy!

“Katie was great at communicating throughout the weekend and keeping me posted on what my dogs were up to. I really liked getting pictures and updates after her visits.”

About: I've had dogs and a cat over the last 26 years, potty training them and caring for them through all stages of life. My dog recently passed away, I had her for 15 years, so I have lots of love to give your pets. My house is hardwood so while I hope to avoid accidents, I'm ready for them. My yard is not fenced, so I'll use leashes to take them out. I also offer bathing and grooming depending what you need we can work that out. I'm nonprofessional in this arena so we're talking baths and brushing. I work from home so I'm here close to 24/7 to play with the pups and cats a d make sure they are fed, let out, and taken care of. I love spending time petting and playing with pets, so you can expect them to get verbal interaction as well as scratches hourly, as well as regular walks to potty. Having had my own senior dogs, I am familiar with medications and can help there as well. I have a lot of rugs that can be strategically deployed for any older dogs that have trouble with the hardwood. Please note that I do take dogs from multiple households at the same time, so I may have additional bookings before or after accepting yours, so please let me know if your pup has any restrictions, can't be around other pets, or is in heat. If possible I'll block my calendar for just your pup. Depending on the situation, the daily cost may be adjusted for the solo time.
