About: I’ve worked at vets as kennel techs, vet tech aides and front desk. I’ve worked for doggy daycare and boarding facilities. I worked for a large city as an animal control officer for several years. My last job was my own private company for pet sitting and dog walking in Colorado. I’m a stay at home mom. I can typically work pet sitting and walks into my schedule. My husband is available to watch our kids while I attend your pets. I am very observant, one client I had in the past her gate broke due to the wind in between visits. I was able to observe the issue prior to any of her dogs getting loose. I notified her and got permission to use her tools to fix it to the best of my ability. They were very happy that I had caught the issue.

Charlotte was absolutely amazing with our animals. They had lots of outside time and looked like they had a great time with her. Definitely will put her at the top of the list if we need a sitter again!

About: I've taken care of other's pets for 12 years, co-workers, friends, and old babysitting clients. I want to help in any way I can to make the owners feel comfortable. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable care based on your pet’s needs. Occasionally, if I have to step out, I’ll either take them with me or they will be perfectly safe in our home. I currently care for three dogs a German Shepherd, a Great Dane, and a German Shepherd Siberian Husky mix on a daily basis. My responsibilities include feeding, playtime, and providing them with plenty of love and attention. When caring for someone else’s pet, my top priority is ensuring that owners feel confident and comfortable while they’re away. I carefully follow all instructions, including administering any medications on schedule. I also make it a point to respect each client’s home as if it were my own. I never bring my own dogs, or any other animals, into a client’s home without explicit permission. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.

About: Hello! I’m Chloe, I am 22 years old and I just recently relocated to back to central Arkansas from Houston, TX! I would describe myself as a passionate and dedicated dog sitter with over (10+) years of personal experience in caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. My passion and nurture for animals began at a young age, raising many cats and dogs, and eventually training my own dog to duck hunt. I have pet/housesat for family and friends in the past, with nothing but good experiences! I have extensive and well rounded experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and many behavioral aspects. I am very good with anxious dogs, or those who may suffer from separation anxiety. I have personal experience with obedience training, can easily teach a dog how to be handled on a leash and not pull you, and many other simple tips and tricks if you ever want the assistance. I will always treat your pets like my own and give them the utmost love, care, and attention that they deserve and require. I am active myself, so i love being outdoors and typically try to walk 2-3 miles a day. I would love to have enrichment time outdoors with your dog, of course adhering to weather standards. Dog Walking Dog/House Sitting Cat/House Sitting as well Administering medication to animals Playful, engaging activities and exercise for your animals I'm committed to providing excellent and specific care to ensure your animals needs are always met, and ensuring their happiness and well-being as well.

Look forward to booking with you :) I’m actively searching for a part time job, and am looking to provide pet care whenever possible. I am open every day of the week/weekend. I am very attentive and cautious in my actions, making sure everything is right for the animal and that they are safe and comfortable also.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal from dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits and everything in between for as long as I can remember. I love getting to meet new furry friends! I am a stay at home mom with two kids at home and two in school. Our favorite pass time is taking walks during the day. We’d love to take some extra friends along with us! We have a partially fenced in backyard so all outings will be on a leash. My kids love pets and playing and snuggling them and we have a mini Aussie who also loves to play.

Katie was patient and understanding as we worked through Rover's payment system SNAFUs. She communicated wonderfully and kept to all my requests in taking care of my three cats during their drop-in visits. Would most definitely recommend! :)

About: My family and I use to breed dogs . So that would require baths, potty training, feeding, grooming, teaching, and commands. I have two fur baby’s myself , very sweet and loving . They are full of energy and love to make new friends. I have a 6 month old who loves animals just as much if not more then I do . We are a warm and welcoming family and would love the chance to help care for other animals . We live on base but I’m willing to travel a distance to care for the animals. The animals will get just as much attention as mine do , plenty of love and walks, plenty of play time as well. If need be , I can send pictures and videos threw out the day of what your animals are up to and updates on how they are doing . I do charge for late fees , if I’m not informed on any late times and how late it will be .

About: I’ve grown up in a pet-loving home with both cats and dogs and understand how important routine, patience, and affection are. I have experience caring for senior dogs and always adjust care to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is the genuine joy I find in making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have lots free time so I would love to make it easy to care for your pets, at the best times for you. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for theirs and their family's space. I carefully follow routines, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I treat every home with care and communicate openly, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. I understand them better than some human if not all humans. I'm in introvert so I don't have friends. I'm fully at ur disposal. If u need a sitter I'm there. Rest assured that if I'm pet sitting ur pet I will treat them like family because that's what they are I pay attention to them. I give them all the love that they would be getting if their owner was home. I play with them constantly. Make sure they go out to potty. Make sure they have water and food.
