Dog Walking Hot Springs Village

“Abby was great and Maisy loved her! Normally she has separation anxiety and I don’t even think she missed us! She definitely kept her busy while we left our campsite at Catherine’s Landing to go zip lining. Plus, she was available at the last minute and on a holiday! We camp here a lot and will definitely use her again so we don’t have to leave Baby Maisy at camp alone.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule. I let them out when they want out, play when they want to play, and clean up any mess so that the client comes back to a just as clean or cleaner house and pets

About: Hi there! I'm thrilled you're visiting my profile. As a lifelong animal lover, I know firsthand that our pets aren't just animals-they are cherished members of the family. My goal is to give you absolute peace of mind by providing your furry family members with the highest level of attentive, personalized care, keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages that offer is my highly flexible schedule. Because I manage my own professional workload with a great deal of independence, my time is exceptionally adaptable. I am not confined to a rigid 9-5 office environment, which means your pet will never be an afterthought! I am able to dedicate significant blocks of time throughout the day to supervising, walking, and playing with your fur baby. You can rest easy knowing they will receive frequent potty breaks, constant companionship, and individualized attention. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and become their favorite home-away-from-home! Please feel free to reach out with any questions to schedule a meet-and-greet. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of various shapes, sizes and personalities. From energetic puppies who need consistent routine and positive reinforcement to general seniors who require a softer touch and careful medication management. I've managed it all. I am incredibly intuitive when it comes to animal behavior, ensuring your dog feels safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet.

“We are so fortunate to have them near and for how much love and care they provide our two dogs. We 100% recommend! Our dogs know that if I leave for work they are going to get to enjoy their company! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends for my whole life. I also worked as a dog groomer. I am trained to see emergencies in dogs and understand their body language and boundaries to keep us both safe. I am currently unemployed so I can be with your pets at any time. I do have pets myself I will be checking in on! I can crate your dog if needed, keep them leashed or in your yard. Same with cats. I'll work with you and the animal to keep them safe and happy.

About: I have had dogs since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of them myself in house basically my whole life. I love cuddling with my dogs and don't mind them laying beside me on furniture. I have trained lots of puppies potty duties and crate training. I have had a bunch of senior dogs. I am a nurse by trade, so if your fur baby needs meds, I am definitely the one who can give it to them! I can't wait to meet your baby! I am currently retired nurse who stays home basically all the time. If I do have to leave, it is usually only for a couple of hours. I do not have a fully fenced yard, but I do have a fenced area behind the house that I can put the fur babies in to do their business and get some exercise. If they do not need to be contained, I have 5 acres that they can run and play.

About: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.

About: I have an unparalleled love for all animals.I grew up on a farm raising horses, cattle, goats, rabbits and pigs. Oh and of course numerous dogs. I have been a vet tach and Volunteer at AWL. I also did pet sitting for Home Buddies in Pensacola, Fl. Pets pretty much rule our home. We are constantly up and down letting them in and out or taking them for walks. We are retired. Our pets are typically never left unattended.They are never left outside by themselves. This is how we will treat your pet. They are one of ours when they are in our home or when we are caring for them.

About: Registered veterinary nurse with over 20+ years caring for animals, 12+ in a professional and clinical setting. I have worked in small animal practices as well as Emergency/ICU and have medical experience with species of all kinds! I am a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with AKC, and I am also licensed with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission as a wildlife rehabilitator (since 2019) Aside from working with native wildlife, I have personally owned a variety of pocket pets and exotic animals throughout the years and would be comfortable providing care for additional animal species, as needed! I am certified to teach canine and feline CPR & First Aid both to the public and to veterinary professionals (offered as approved RACE CE credit), and I am certified with FEMA through their “Animals in Disaster” preparedness course. I am proficient not only in identifying and interpreting canine and feline behavior (as well as other species), but I also have the advantage of medical insight. I often will notice things about your pet that perhaps you haven’t even noticed yet, or maybe didn’t realize was a concern. I was blessed with good intuition, and this has aided me greatly in my career with animals! Through years of working emergency medicine, I have become highly effective in triage methods and will know immediately what to do and how quickly to do it, should your pet encounter any type of emergency (trauma, toxicity, snake bite, heat stroke, neurological incident, etc.) I am comfortable administering medications through PO, SQ, IM, and IV routes, as needed or directed by a veterinarian. I am comfortable manually expressing bladders in both dogs and cats, and providing ambulatory support for pets needing assistance. Some of my clients wear doggy diapers and I am comfortable managing those, as well. I can provide basic wound care, bandage care, and give extra attention to pets needing any type of dietary assistance. My special skill in clinic was getting sick pets to eat, I am very good at it! In addition to the medical aspect, I also strive to support a healthy emotional environment. I will provide adequate and reasonable boundaries to ensure your pet is being respected, but also not letting them take advantage of the “new person!” I’m not going to overload them with treats or feed them extra just because they’re giving me the cute puppy eyes! If your pet is not allowed on the couch at home or when you’re away, I won’t allow that either. I truly understand the full-circle effects of how we treat our pets and strive to maintain high expectations when I’m responsible for any animals care. I am an open highway as far as communication goes and am happy to meet to needs and expectations for each client and family, custom to each pet. My schedule is very flexible. I took a break from working in a hospital setting in 2021 to complete my Bachelor's degree. Since then I have primarily worked from home but I maintain a current CVT license with the Arkansas Veterinary Medical Board. Working from home allows me the ability to accommodate boarding requests both in my home, or in yours. I can accommodate consistent and reliable walks or check-in visits throughout the week, and even last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated as part of the family whether in my home, or in yours! They will get extra love and attention and be pampered and played with constantly. I enjoy taking pictures and videos of your pet, and will check in often regarding their care! House Sitting: House sitting services are offered in your home, with your pets. I can accommodate exotic animals and small pocket pets, in addition to cats, dogs, and horses. There is not much I cannot care for! Offering all the amenities of in-home doggie daycare, house sitting provides the comforts of home with the assurance of a highly trained veterinary professional providing around-the-clock care. In addition to being attentive to your furry-family members needs, I will care for your home as if it is my own. I will clean, check mail, collect packages, water plants, etc. so when you get home, you will have nothing left to worry about except enjoying time with your fur baby! Prior to my departure I will clean thoroughly and make sure your home is in tip-top shape for your arrival! I work from home and am able to take my work with me, which makes my schedule very flexible! Holidays and weekends are flexible, as well. Last minute requests? No problem! Safety is my top priority. Pets will be diligently monitored. Doors will be kept shut, gates will be secured, and dangerous items will be kept out of reach. Your home will be cared for as if it was my own using the Girl Scout Code of, “leaving it better than you found it” as the core principle for my services. :)

About: I took care of my boys for just over 14 years, twin Shih Tzu’s, they were the loves of my life. They taught me more patience and much more research especially when they became seniors and required medications. After their passing I’ve been honored to take care of others fur babies, 3 goldens + 1 king cavelier and another’s cat. I loved every minute of spending time, walking, playing and even just sitting with them for company. I’m currently working part time and am flexible to help out with your fur babies whether you need someone to stop by for a few hours or need someone to watch them overnight. I will, with your instructions, care for your pet(s) just as you would. Currently I am unable to care for them in my own home.

About: I am an animal lover through and through! As most, i’ve grown up caring for dogs and cats. I just can’t get enough animals in my life- I love all pets!

About: Throughout my life, I've cared for several dogs, including one that battled lymphoma. This experience has honed my skills in providing specialized care for pets with medical needs, including administering medications, accommodating physical limitations, and showering them with love and cuddles. My love for animals extends to my own furry companions, as I currently share my home with four dogs. Living on a farm provides them with ample space to roam and explore, enriching their lives with outdoor adventures and a natural environment that they thrive in. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to my remote and flexible job. I have the freedom to adapt my schedule to accommodate the needs of my furry friends, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or cuddle sessions in the evening, I prioritize their well-being as an essential part of my day. This flexibility allows me to tailor my time and activities to meet their individual needs, creating a harmonious balance between work and pet care that enriches both my life and theirs. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to me. At my own home, I have a fenced-in yard where my four pups can enjoy regular exercise and playtime. They also receive treats frequently as a reward for good behavior and as a special treat. Two of my pups are particularly attached and love to follow me around, so they receive extra love and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I ensure that they have a comfortable and safe environment, sticking to their routines as closely as possible to minimize stress. Regular walks, play sessions, and lots of affection are essential components of my pet care routine, ensuring that every furry friend feels loved and cared for during their time with me.

About: Hello! I am Claire, 28, and I am a Certified Veterinary Nurse with experience in clinics and a love of taking care of and learning about animals of all varieties. I have three dogs, all of which get walks daily. I make changes to my home and routine to better suit the needs of my elderly pug, Milo. All pets are family, I would never let grandma go a minute without care, consideration, and comfort. Their lives are far too precious and too short to be placed at the end of the priority list.

About: Pet care experience Last minute booking is no problem. I love all animals and they love me. I am retired so I can hang out with your pets 24/7. I treat each precious soul like they are a part of my family. Giving your loved ones a massage is the ultimate relaxer when you are away. I've owned dogs and cats my entire life. It only takes one lick to win my heart.Of course, animals are fun and rewarding. The love you give them is surpassed by the love you receive. There is no job too small or too big. I am flexible, available, and attentive to all details. I can adjust pricing according to number of pets and requirements. I recently retired from the business world and I am flexible to needs of owners. This will be my new ‘job’ that I am committed to. At home my dogs are always on leash and are never allowed out on their own. I will provide care that the owner expects. Safety will be my main concern for your furr baby.

“Leah is an outstanding dog walker. She easily handled not one but two dogs that are XL. Cassie & D'Artangnan's combine weight is nearly 200lbs! I prefer that they are walked together as that is how I normally do with them, before I injured my knee. Leah was eager to try it the 1st day, and did an amazing walk handling then simultaneously, that is not easy because one walks quickly & the other has a slower pace. She is loving and thoughtful with the dogs and takes incredible pictures. I Highly recommend her for dog walking and plan on hiring her for dog sitting as well.”
