Doggy Day Care in Natural Steps

About: Caring for animals is my life’s passion and my favorite thing to do. I make sure every animal I meet feels loved. The time I spend with animals is very therapeutic for me. I have 4 years of experience with animal care! I started off with one neighbor who needed me to drop in and check on her dogs. I fell in love and I have been doing this ever since. I am always looking for new opportunities to bond with pets. I can easily match their energy to cater to their needs. I will play, rub, or provide outside time as long as they want. If needed I can help with training basic commands. I also have experience administering oral and injected medication with dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so I am very flexible with timing. I love caring for and being in the presence animals so I will try my best to accommodate your schedule. I pay attention to what animals are trying to communicate with me whether they are anxious or just want their own space. Animals can sense that they can trust me and trust goes a long way when caring for them. I am very careful and cautious. Safety is my top priority.

“I think my Max is in the lap of luxury with Ranee and her mom. He has the run of the place, can look out the window, gets lots of attention. Thank you, Ranee, for taking such good care of my boy.”

“Maru was amazing! Extremely quick responses, clearly cares for dogs based on how well she treats her own pups, and sent more photos than any sitter I’ve ever had! Would recommend in a heartbeat.”

“Charlene and her family provided great care for my pups while we were in town. They went for walks and were welcomed into her home as if they were her own. We would definitely bring them to her again when in this area.”

“Thank you Christian for taking very good care of Chuck! The location of your place was very convenient. Thank you also for sending pictures of Chuck during his stay and for the prompt response whenever I send messages. I will definitely send Chuck there again...hopefully soon.”

“Upon arriving the neighborhood was so nice.,, Then meeting her she was so welcoming her house was clean and smelled fresh you wouldn’t know she had dogs unless she told you: I am so happy my baby enjoyed her stay and she will return. ❤️”

About: I took care of animals ever since I was a kid and I have owned my own since I was 18. I've always had a big heart for animals. I believe they should be treated just as any other family member. My husband and I only work part-time so we will be able to love on them and spend time with your animals throughout the day and night. I have a fenced-in backyard and a two and a half year old great dane that loves meeting new friends. Also have two children that love animals. I am able to crate if needed but we allow our dogs to roam freely in the home and on furniture if you allow.

About: I am great with animals that are any age, but especially dogs! I love to take them on walks or just to play with them. I am usually available at many different times throughout the week! I am available for boarding or walking at any times Monday through Friday or on the weekends! I have one cat at home that loves other animals but that is it! Your animal will be safe and cared for when I am watching it!

About: I have had pets, cats and dogs, my whole life and absolutely love them all!!! Which led me to work at an animal hospital. I work as a receptionist/vet assistant at Hillcrest Animal Hospital and have since 2021. I have experience in emergencies, elderly & younger babies, and any special care needs (giving meds, different feeding routines, nervous babies, etc.)! I work with animals all day, everyday! I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I am able to meet your needs at anytime of the day or week! Our family includes a 1.5 year old baby girl and a large golden doodle named Klaus. Everyone in my household is very friendly, gentle and playful!

About: Me and my wife Anna love animals - we both grew up with several dogs, and we currently have chickens :) We’re very active and would love to have your pet join either me or Anna for walks, hikes, or a game of fetch! Our schedules are flexible, and at least one of us would always be available whenever you need our services. Another great thing about choosing us is that we don’t currently have any pets in the house. If you’re looking for a peaceful temporary home for your pet where they will get plenty of individual attention, we’d be a great fit! We are very flexible and can fit you in at any time! Though it's worth mentioning that we go to bed quite early, so the latest walk we could schedule would be around 5-6pm. We really think the key to a happy pet is just going with their natural rhythm. If they’ve got energy and want to play, great - walks, toys, all the fun stuff! If they’re resting in a sunny spot and just want to relax, that’s cool too. And of course, we always listen to the owners; you know your pet better than anyone, and we follow your lead :)

“Molly was awesome! She took care of our boy Enzo. Super responsive and Enzo really enjoyed his time, he came home happy and relaxed. Couldn't ask for much more in a sitter. 100 percent will be using her again.”

“Kristen was great! I know as well as anyone my Charlie can be a handful with all his curiosity and excitement. Kristen handled him with a smile on her face. She seemed to have a great fenced back yard and two other dogs that Charlie could play with.”

“Thomas has been amazing with my pup! I love the attention he provides my dog while I am away at work. Provides updates throughout the day which is always reassuring. My dog is truly happy coming to his door for drop off's! He even takes him for walks which is a huge plus as my dog LOVES them! I would definitely recommend giving Thomas a try. He's great!”

“It was great to be able to leave our dogs while we enjoyed Moss Mountain Farm. They were well taken care of by Julie.”

About: We are a dog loving family! I have 4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - meaning, I am a huge animal lover and would be happy to be able to care for your fur baby whenever needed! My husband and I work remote, so we am home majority of the day and am flexible to work with your schedule. I am available during the day, evening, or night hours, as well as most weekends. I want to make your fur baby as comfortable as possible with whatever needs those may be. I am comfortable with puppies or senior dogs that need medication. Unfortunately, we do not have a fenced in yard yet, but will be getting one soon, but there is plenty of room for play! I have 4 small dogs at home that are very comfortable with other animals and will make your pup feel right at home!

About: I've cared for animals since I was a preteen, having my own dog since 2013—well versed in all things dog, and I live less than five minutes from the nearest 24-hour emergency vet clinic. My pets are my life! I have a cat (10 lbs, female) and a dog (small terrier, 15 lbs, female) who are both spayed and socialized with other animals. The dog, Chanel, is especially fond of other dogs who are friendly, regardless of size. My cat's name is Ellie, a domestic shorthair, and she mostly stays away when there's another dog over. I have fostered dogs and kittens with local rescue groups as well as Little Rock Animal Village (LRAV). I am also a registered volunteer with LRAV. I'm currently working from home for the most part, other than going to a client meeting sometimes. I have cameras throughout the downstairs, where the animals will stay if I am gone. However, I spend quite a lot of time at home, which places me in a great position to be available to care for my pets and any guests I'm caring for, be it a foster, overnight or a board. I have a fenced-in yard, can go outside with the dogs, and I have a neighborhood that's walkable if that's a needed service. If I'm caring in a client's home, I go by their instructions and do not mind being flexible and keeping lines of communication open. I know pet anxiety, and sometimes we just want a little pic of our babies before bed. :)

About: My name is Angela. I worked as a kennel/doggie daycare manager at an Animal Clinic. I’m very familiar with administrating medicine to your fur babies if needed and being aware of signs of distress(stroke, dehydration Anything out of the usual) I already do some house/pet sitting for some vet clients now but would love to meet more people through this app. I would love to give your fur babies lots of love during my stay to offer them a stress free environment until you return home. Boarding is not for every dog or cat, and that’s why I want to provide a loving, caring and stress free home environment for them. I’m here to help! My life revolves around fur babies. They can sleep all day, play or just relax. Your babies will fit into my life no matter how they choose to spend their day. We treat every fur baby as our own. We have four dogs so they will have built in playmates. Cuddles on the couch is a must❤️

About: I’ve helped friends take care of there for children. I’m very laid-back. I have three kids ages 10, 7 & 5 I have one dog. Gets along with people and other animals she is older but still pretty spunky. Her name is Max. She’s a little terrier mix. I do work overnights, but not for very long only 5 hours . I am home in the mornings afternoons and evening. Except the occasional appointments I have a bit fenced in yard that wraps around the house with a friendly but shy dog named Max. She is a terrier mix older. I have three kids ages 10,7&,5 they are a little loud and rambunctious, but nothing uncontrollable. They all three love dogs. They are a little cautious, which is always good. My mom has been doing this and I have been at her house with dogs that she has doggysitted.
