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.

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.

No complaints! There seem to have been no issues, I was updated as to when she was arriving and leaving. I recieved multiple pictures of each dog and was even updated on their bathroom habits whilst gone!

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.

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've been an animal shelter volunteer and pet parent for the last 16 yrs, fostered cats and dogs (from babies to seniors) in my home for the last 12 yrs and have been the go-to cat & dog sitter for countless friends & family since college. I have extensive experience caring for senior cats and dogs as well as training and experience with pets with anxiety issues; especially rescues. I truly love animals and would love to care for your "furbabies" while you're away! I'm happy to care for your pets in whatever way you/they require in your home. Frequent walks and outdoor potty breaks are no problem! I'm also happy to bathe and/or medicate your pet if needed. I currently work in retail full time but my schedule can be somewhat flexible with at least 2 wks notice. However, I do typically work 12-6pm Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun, so if you're looking to book me on weekends, please keep in mind that your pups will have to go about 6.5hrs without a potty break. For the time being, I am only doing in-house pet sitting at the pet's home. I don't have a fenced yard and therefore don't feel comfortable watching pets in my home.

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.

About: Hi there! I'm Bridget, a lifelong dog lover who's turned my passion into a fun way to stay active while supplementing our family's adventures. Retired and homeschooling my amazing daughter, I've got plenty of flexibility to give your pup the attention they deserve. I've got years of hands-on experience caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From high-energy hikes to cozy cuddle sessions, I know how to keep tails wagging and stress levels low. What I Offer: Dog Walking: Energetic strolls through local parks or neighborhood loops customized to your dog's pace and play style. With LRAFB access. Drop-In Visits: Quick check-ins for potty breaks, fresh water, playtime, and photo updates so you can relax knowing everything's paws-itively perfect. House Sitting: For those times when your home needs a watchful eye and your pets crave overnight companionship, I'll handle evening walks, fresh meals, playtime, and light tidying so you return to a cozy, secure haven (with daily photo updates to keep you in the loop).

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!
