“After 4 months of missing daycare, Maggie ran right up to Bonnie and didn’t skip a beat. She got lots of love and playtime this weekend. We are so grateful for Bonnie and her loving care!! ❤️ I’m packing home one tired and happy puppy this morning!”


“Shannon was absolutely amazing! She sent plenty of pictures of Opie to us while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving Opie with her family for the weekend. We will definitely be booking with Shannon anytime we have future needs for our fur babies while we go out of town.”


“Jackie and his family were amazing sitters! They took great care of our dog, Barry. He updated us daily with pictures. He truly treats the dogs he watches as family. I never had any concerns leaving Barry with Jackie! 🐶”


“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”


“Andy loves going to Charlene’s! He always gets so excited to go hang out with her family. She’s really great about sendings pics and videos of his “vacation”. ☺️”



“Amber was amazing. Sent pics of Kofi throughout the days he was in her care. He must’ve had so much fun at her place for the weekend because he slept the whole day away after picking him up. She even clipped his toenails for me. Highly recommend her & will definitely be using her again.”


“Justina was great with our Australian shepherd! Being away for a week can be hard with pets but she sent updates and pictures. Lyla had a great time playing fetch with her boys and running around with Brownie! Would recommend :)”


“They were amazing to my sweet boy! I was so nervous at first but my mind was at ease before I even left the driveway! I received an update less than 3 hours after I dropped him off. They even responded in a very timely manner when I had questions and concerns. My furbaby had tummy issues and they updated me and took great care of him. He felt better within a day! They even gave him a bath before I picked him up without me asking. They were amazing! Very sweet people.”


“Allison was great with my cat Simba! This is my second time leaving Simba with her, and she makes me feel confident that he is in good hands. You can tell she has a genuine passion for animals.”


“Tammy is amazing! She has such a calming and welcoming spirit. My dog has separation anxiety and to see my pup jump up to tell her goodbye was so sweet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!!”


“Layla has stayed with Cody a handful of times. When we got there for drop off this time, she didn't even look at me, she just waltzed right through his door! It's good to know that she's that comfortable there while I'm gone. I heard that she got lots of kisses from Liberty too, maybe too many for her taste, ha!”


About: I have taken care of a variety of different breeds of both cats and dogs! All ages ranging from a few months old to senior pups and cats! I have also had to administer medication and special attention to my own fur babies so I know the dedication and effort it takes to make sure all animals are well taken care of! I work full time from 7:30am-4pm, Monday through Friday! I have an hour lunch break to go home and check on pets and have all of my afternoons free to be available to give animals lots of love and care! I tend to spoil my fur babies! I make sure their water and food are fresh and in perfect moderation. My cat Remy has asthma and a heart condition so I am also very observant of animals and know what signs to look for if anything may be uncomfy or them! I am very familiar in giving liquid or pill medication if needed and have also used an inhaler for my cat frequently. For my healthy babies I make sure they get lots of love and attention every second I am with them!

About: Hi there! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from tiny Maltese to giant Mastiffs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or older and in need of a little extra TLC, I’m confident I can provide the loving, dependable care they deserve. I’m comfortable administering medications and even doing nail trims, so you can rest easy knowing your dog is in capable hands. I’ve also spent several years training dogs in obedience using positive reinforcement methods. While I’m not a certified trainer, I was mentored by one, and I focus on building trust, consistency, and clear communication with every dog I work with. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, which is why I make it my priority to keep you updated and ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Let’s chat—I’d love to hear about your pet’s routine, personality, and how I can help! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m fortunate to live close to my job—so I can swing by on my lunch breaks for potty breaks, playtime, or just a quick cuddle session. Your pet won’t be left alone all day, and I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need throughout the day. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible! I’m usually relaxing at home or out enjoying the outdoors—especially if the weather’s nice for a good hike. During football season, I do travel occasionally for Razorback home games, but I always make sure to block off those dates on my calendar in advance so there are no surprises. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and flexible, I’d love to be your go-to pet sitter! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When your furry family member stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with consistent care, love, and attention. This is never just a “quick check-in”—I take the time to truly engage with every animal, whether that’s through play, cuddles, or calm companionship. When physical activity isn’t ideal, I make sure mental stimulation is always part of the routine through enrichment toys, basic training, or gentle interaction. I have a securely fenced backyard, but out of an abundance of caution, all pets are either leashed or directly supervised while outside to ensure their safety at all times. Inside the home, your pet will be in a calm and welcoming environment. I have a mini golden doodle who is extremely friendly and loves having guests. I also have a cat who is mellow and used to dogs, but she has her own private space if separation is needed. I’m very mindful of personalities and boundaries, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for.

“Ruth enjoyed her time with Courtney and Shadow. They all got along very well, and Ruth’s stay allowed her to socialize and take a break from her normal routine. Courtney helped me to not worry about Ruth or how things were going by sharing videos and keeping me updated on how she was getting along.”


About: I've owned dogs all my life and truly love pups of every shape and size! I have experience giving oral medications, treating ear issues, and making dogs feel comfortable and safe. There’s a beautiful park right across the street where I love taking dogs for walks, and plenty of space in my fenced backyard for playing fetch. Your furry family member will get plenty of love, care, and playtime here! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility in my schedule to come home for midday walks or check-ins. I’m home in the early mornings and evenings to give your pet attention, walks, and playtime, and I’m completely free on weekends for even more park visits, backyard play, and cuddles. Your dog will always get daily exercise, companionship, and loving care as part of my daily routine! I have a large secure fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Your pup will also have a friendly resident dog for company. Inside, there’s a special room dedicated just for pets to relax or nap comfortably. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to crate them as long as you provide the crate. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving home-away-from-home for every pet!

“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”


“Ali was great and very communicative! This was my first time having a pet sitter and I was nervous! My dog coco seemed happy and Ali sent pictures! She also let us come a few minutes early which was ideal! I would recommend her to anyone!”

Ali took great care of my dogs. It was very hot outside during their visit, so she had them inside most of the day - but woth frequent outside breaks. They went one walks during the evenings when it was a little cooler. I would highly recommend Ali to keep your dog while you are gone.

miranda was nothing short of amazing! my pup had an amazing time, and i was sent multiple updates per day of her playing and having fun with her new friends. this was my first time being away from my pup for since i got her, but miranda left me assured that she was in good hands. 10/10, definitely recommend!
