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: 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.”

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!
“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”

“I will NEVER have another sitter other than Susan! She is an incredible person who took care of our MeowMeow as if he was her own. She sent lots of videos and pictures so I always knew what was going on. She is so personable and just an all around amazing choice.”

“Patty was wonderful with our Murphy. Communication with her was easy setting up sitting services and she continued to communicate with us while we were gone. We were thrilled to know that while we were away Patty was taking care of Murphy. She treated him as if he was her own. Not only did she take care of his basic needs she played his favorite game of Fetch, till her arm almost fell off! We would definitely recommend Patty to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

“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!”
“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!”

“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.”

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
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.”

This allows me to accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent, attentive care for your dog when you need it most. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority! During in-home visits, I make sure your dog gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or a walk, depending on your dog’s needs. I also provide cuddles, companionship, and any medication if needed. I aim to keep your dog’s routine as normal as possible, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.
About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: I take care of different pets in my day to day life as well as in my past. I currently work at an animal hospital and have experience with animals And given medications and treatments . I currently work and have a flexible schedule most weeks. I do have the option to change my schedule if needed based on what you need me to do.
