“Brianna was absolutely amazing! She watched my pug Maple and stayed at my home while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She went above and beyond. Constant communication, frequent updates and photos, and I could tell Maple was in great hands the entire time. Brianna is incredibly polite, kind, and respectful, and you can truly tell she loves animals. Maple adored her, and I came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been responsible for caring for dogs most of my life. I’m experienced with daily care routines, exercise, feeding schedules, and recognizing behavior changes. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. My schedule varies so we can chat about what is needed to things make work! I can do some weekdays, especially evenings and most weekends I am willing to accommodate to the care that best fits you and your pet! I am happy to talk about what you prefer and give the best care possible!
About: I've been cat-sitting since high school, watching friends' and neighbors' pets while they traveled. I am a cat owner myself and have personal, in-home experience with the furriest of overlords. I also have practice with the smallest of kittens as a volunteer with the Fort Smith Animal Haven. No cat too big, no beans too small... I can't wait to meet them all!! I'm currently between jobs, so your sit requests are my top priority! First come, first booked, of course, but I will do my best to make room for everyone in my schedule! At this point in time, I will not be offering in-home services as my space is too small and my own pets are too many. Safety is number one, and most cats are calmer (therefore safer) in their own space.
About: I've had pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, chickens, and even goats. I've house sat for locals and fed their pets and even met early to write down a schedule of what needed to be done. I did extra and gathered their papers and/or mail so they didn't get wet or lost. I currently am self employed so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or give them their food and treats. I currently don't stay overnight but I can be back early to check on everything. I will meet with you prior to so that we can come up with a list and schedule so that we can be sure all of their needs are met and your house is in the same condition you left it In.
About: I have had my best friend Rocco (Dachshund/Beagle) for the last 10 years, Eva (Dachshund) for the last 6, have grown up with dogs and I treat every one of them as my friend. They usually do the same. I have cared for friends' pets as a favor years and decided to make a side gig out of it since it comes so easy to me. Anyway, I can't wait to meet your friends 🐕. I currently watch my sweet baby girl and pups while my wife works. I work rideshare when she's home. This leaves me a lot of time to meet your needs! I live in an apartment complex in the city so I staunchly will always have my dogs out on a leash with me. Eva is a very difficult breed to train and battles anxiety so I've become a pro at helping her avoid confrontation. All will be well on the wagging tail trail! P.S. I know when I use Rover, I like when they send me pictures. Just let me know if you don't prefer.

About: I've been taking care of other people's pets from a very young age. I started at 10 and I've loved every minute of it since the beginning. I'll love your pet just as much as you do (maybe even a little more!) while they're in my care. They will enjoy frequent potty breaks, nice walks, treats, unconditional love, and play time with me. I'm more than willing to administer simple medications, such as pills, eye drops, and liquids. Drop-In and House Sitting pets will have their bowls washed clean every day and will be fed accordingly, with fresh water as well. Your pets mean a lot to you, and I want them to receive the same affection and care that you provide to them! 🐾 I’m a stay at home mom and entrepreneur so I’m always looking for work to do that can fit in my schedule! I have six cats and one dog at home that I’m responsible for. That means, I do these tasks daily: wash/fill food and water bowls, clean litter boxes and dog waste from the yard, basic grooming such as nail clipping and fur brushing, enriching play and medications when necessary. My pets receive fresh food and water in clean bowls every day, clean litter boxes and a waste free yard, needed grooming such as brushing or nail trims, and enriching play.

“Kendra took exceptional care of our pet while we were away. Given my pet is a picky eater ,She ensured that food and medicine are given on time and he gets his daily exercise. The only thing we noticed was the fee is on the higher side and can add up if frequent service is needed. It comforted us to see the level of care she provided and highly recommend her.”

“Tyler did a fantastic job. I felt comfortable leaving my girls in his care. He was always on time for let outs and gave the girls adequate outside time and exercise. I received updates and pictures. Great pet sitter! I’ll definitely use him again!”
“So refreshing to come back after a trip and your animals are as happy as when you left! All of their needs were met and they were loved. Thank you so much Abigail for the peace of mind. Look forward to our next booking!”
