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.
“Katie was great with our dogs and with communicating with us while we were away. We got photos and details of what she did during her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: As a dedicated pet and house sitter with 20+ years of experience, I've built a reputation for delivering exceptional care. My journey began in Little Rock, Arkansas, and continued to grow after relocating to Kansas City, Kansas. Now based in Conway, Arkansas, I provide loving services to the surrounding areas. With my experience as a Veterinary Assistant and lifelong passion for animals, you can trust that your pets will be treated like family. I'm available for overnight stays, regular visits, or customized care - always with a smile and a passion for animals. 😊 I have a pretty flexible schedule, as I work part time from home. I have reliable transportation that allows me the freedom to tend to your pets on their normal schedule. I treat them as they were my fur-babies. I love to spoil them & give them the attention they deserve. I let mine have free rein of the house, they sleep with me if they want to. I give treats and love cuddles. There feeding schedule is simple but consistent.
About: Throughout my life, my family has owned 4 dogs, and many of my friends own dogs that I spend a lot of time with. I currently have two dogs, as well as a few bonus neighborhood dogs, that I love both playing and relaxing with. I often am responsible for feeding, letting out, and cleaning up after my family dogs. I am a recent college graduate with no set job or schedule yet, so I'm very flexible! Presently, most of my work is gig work, so it is very easy for me to run by your house on my way to or from those gigs. I aim to give your pet as much of a sense of normalcy as I can! Whether they like to wrestle outside or sit together in silence, I want to give them whatever they need in the moment. I like to leave a space how I found it, so if they need any feeding or make any messes, I will clean up being myself or them.
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.

About: I have been house and animal sitting for my family and family friends since I was 15! I love to go on walks and be outside in nature, and would love to take your animals with me! I love animals of any and all kinds, but I have a soft spot for rescues and senior dogs. My experience includes over night stays, day time visits, and longer periods of care. I work part time at Hendrix College! I only work on weekends days, so I am completely free on the weekends! I am done with work at 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4pm Wednesday-Friday! In client’s homes I care for pets by taking them outside to use the bathroom as required, if not more. I also spend ample time playing with them and making sure they get all of their energy out! If they are allowed, I am happy to allow animals into the bed for cuddles at night! I love to love on animals!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way up to elderly dogs! I love all the animals! I am available all throughout the week! I am not free on weekends but other than that I would love to babysit your fur babies! I have a fenced in back yard with the sweetest fur baby you’ll ever meet. He gets fed twice a day and always has water available
“Danielle was great! She was amazing about sending pictures of my kitties and they seemed to really be happy with her. She was fabulous about playtime with my high energy kitten. Everything was tidy and taken care of upon my return as well.”

“She has been the best thing my fiancé could’ve asked for when it comes to making sure our babies are taken care of. Whether it was the dog, cat, or sometimes both, she showed them the same love and care we show them. I wish there was more I could do to show my appreciation for everything she’s done. Booking rovers for sitting, walking, or just drop in visits is not cheap, but knowing our babies were in safe hands while we were gone is priceless. Thank you Charsy!!”

“It was wonderful meeting Lisa and my dogs were so calm around her ....of course they were super excited at first but calmed down surprisingly fast around her. I will def be using her to dogsit in the future. Ty for dropping in and meeting my babies.”

About: I have volunteered at humane society and other pig rescues for 10 years. I have 3.5 acres where I have a family of 2 pigs, 2 large dogs, and 1 cat. My wife and I try to help in any situation that an animal needs rehabbed or rehomes. I'm also a registered nurse working in mental health so I'm very patient. I have had animals my entire life. I usually tend to fall in love with special needs or senior animals because they are the most likely to not get a shot at adoption. However I love all animals, hopefully taking care of yours will feed my desires to cont adding to my own pet family. I have a job that requires every Fri sat and sun night so I have open time so I'd love to fill that time caring for the needs of your animals. My wife worked for a vet clinic in Jonesboro for 5 yrs prior to becoming a registered nurse. My nursing job allows for a lot of extra free time to fill up, not being able to have children of my own. I'm excited to service animal lovers like myself. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard as well as a sunroom with heat and cooling with a doggy door. I have 2 older dogs that lazily reside here, and a 30x30 pen for my pigs when we can't be around to watch them, but everybody sleeps inside together. I'm loyal and take pride in all that I do so I can guarantee that I will be able to provide any and all needs your pet should require.

“Renee was so good with my cat. She went above and beyond in every area. She updated us regularly and made sure that our cat was well-cared for and happy. Renee is a terrific person and will be my go-to sitter when I need someone to take care of our pet in the future. I highly suggest that you consider contacting her if you are in need of pet-sitting services. Garfield will see you again soon, Renee!!!!”

“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’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
“Thomas went absolutely above and beyond with my dog, I can’t thank him enough. My dog luna had a medical emergency, and Thomas was incredibly gentle and caring in how he treated her through it. I won’t forget his professionalism and would recommend him to anybody!”
About: We have 3 very spunky and active Aussies, so we know exactly how much time animals need and want. And we are always ready to make them happy. One of us will always be with your pet, day or night. We are usually up early and late so your pet will get a large amount of play time. We have a fenced in back yard on roughly a half acre. So your pet has plenty of room to run and play with our Aussie family.
