About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always
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.
“Ashleigh was awesome. She checked on my three cats while I was away for three weeks and went above my expectations. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
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.
“Aaliyah was so great! She kept us in the loop, had great communication, and provided lots of updates and photos! I definitely would recommend her to care for your fur babies”
“Haley did such a great job taking care of my senior kitty!!! She paid a lot of attention to detail with his medicine and made sure he got exactly what he needed! Will absolutely book with Haley in the future”
“Lacy was fantastic!! She did a great job pet sitting our cat, sent lots of photos and updates, and left the home in perfect shape!! She gave me peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands while we were out of state! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Ariela took great care of our cats. She was reliable and communicated with us after every visit. We will definitely ask her first when we need care for our cats.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Tabitha made it such a wonderful experience! She came by beforehand for a meet and greet, took thoughtful notes to make sure our girls were well cared for. Even our most skittish pup warmed up to her right away! Tabitha was punctual, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We’d be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).”
“Ella did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties over the holidays! She thoroughly read the instructions I left her, paid good attention to detail, and kept the house clean. She even cleaned the sink, which was a pleasant surprise! She managed my cats' different dietary needs, including supplements and loading an automatic feeder, and handled one of the cats puking multiple times like a champ (on Christmas, no less!). She was highly communicative throughout her visits, which I appreciated. She's also a great picture taker! She sent pictures in the Rover Cards that really captured my cats' personalities. That showed me they felt comfortable with her, which made me feel much better about being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a sitter!”
“Brice was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond what we asked for and made sure our cats were well fed and taken care of. He administered our cat’s medication as needed and sent daily updates. Brice is friendly, professional, and we can’t recommend him enough. We will absolutely work with him in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving my fur kids with a stranger. I shouldn't have been though, because Miranda was fantastic! She spent extra time and attention on my shy kitties, and kept me updated with every visit. I will absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 5 years, providing everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight stays. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior dog needing extra TLC, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, which means I’m available for pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the day, evenings, and even weekends. This allows me to accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent, attentive care for your dog when you need it most. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority! During in-home visits, I make sure your dog gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or a walk, depending on your dog’s needs. I also provide cuddles, companionship, and any medication if needed. I aim to keep your dog’s routine as normal as possible, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.
“Amber is great! She was extremely responsive and helpful when we left town and needed someone to watch our cat. She is very friendly and easy to get along with, and she was wonderful with our cat, sending great pictures and often staying longer than she was required to. I will definitely call her again!”
About: I grew up in the country in a house with all kinds of animals! I’ve had many dogs and cats throughout my life big and small! I even had a pet squirrel and raccoon that we had to nurse back to health! I love animals so much. I think they are little angels on earth. I currently have a little maltshi dog that is 11 years old. She is my whole world. I take her everywhere. She is super sweet and also loves having other dogs around since she is an only child. I am currently doing online school so I am at home 24/7. I have a two story townhouse and I live in a community with tons of areas with parks for dogs to play. My dog loves going on walks in the neighbor with me. We also have a huge window (that’s about as big as the wall) that the dogs can look out of and watch squirrels and see our big back yard. I will love your dog like my own. I will walk them frequently and let them sleep with me at night! I have multiple dog beds they can also sleep on. I have tons of dog toys (I think over 50) so they won’t ever need to bring anything. I also have many different types of dog treats so if you say it’s okay I will give them treats from time to time as well. Lil Miss and I will look after your baby. Give them sooo much love and attention and cuddles. They don’t have to ever be in a cage at my place and they can totally sleep on the furniture. My casa is your dogs casa. They will feel at home or like they are on a vacation with me.
