“Austin has been a great help, doing drop in visits daily and playing with my pups- giving them lots of love and attention while we are away on a trip! Highly recommend him!”


“We have been using Noella since May and are very happy. Noella goes above and beyond to make Lilka happy and comfortable during her stay. She gives Lilka alot of individual attention and makes her feel at home. Lilka spends her days both inside and outside and in the pool (her favorite) Noella carefully matches dogs up so they get a best friend (Lilka loves Mickey) then slowly introduces them to the group and makes sure everyone is comfortable and safe every step of the way. I would recommend Noella to anyone. Noella will treat your dog like one of her own and do everything she can to insure your dog has the best time possible during its stay. Lilka gives Noella 5 Paws and I do too.”

“Alexis was amazing! She worked with my odd hours and sent me great updates! She had an awesome system for the cats and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would definitely recommend.”

“Carter was a great house and cat sitter. He left our house just as clean if not cleaner than when we left. He stripped the bedding and bathroom and kitchen towels, washed them and left them folded. We got great kitty updates each day with pictures. Just an overall friendly guy and took great care of our kitties. We look forward to booking Carter again!”

“Emily was very communicative, even through the last minute notice and some challenging weather. It was a comfort to know our cat was well cared for in our absence.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 plus years now. I only have done it professionally a few times. We have 3 dogs and 1 cat at home. I have experience from the puppy stage to the senior stage. I can handle high energy and low energy dogs. I can help with basic training and also giving medication. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets but they must be kid friendly as I would need to bring my kids with me. I can easily crate your dog at home if needed. I am comfortable with feeding and letting out to go potty. I can play fetch for your pup if they love that.
“Ruby watched our girl Luna while we were away for a work trip. She made Luna feel very comfortable, and my husband and I were relieved knowing our girl was being watched by an incredibly trustworthy person. Ruby also brought in packages for us and notified us where she left them in our place. We highly recommend Ruby and will be having her pet sit for us again!”

I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, leash walking, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I also understand the special attention senior pets require—like administering medication, supporting mobility, and maintaining familiar routines that help them feel secure and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them love, structure, and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior changes and always communicate openly with pet parents so they can feel confident while they’re away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet cuddles, or a careful eye on special needs, I’m here to give your pet the personalized care they deserve. I am currently working from home . I do have a one year old. As well as a cat and 2 smaller dogs .

If your pet isn’t a big fan of other dogs , no worries , I will more than likely take my dogs to my. Moms house . I do ask to know if they are friendly with cats . I have 1 young cat .
“Belinda was amazing with my kitties. She dropped in on them over the weekend and was super responsive and so helpful. Her check ins were really thorough and she went out of her way to make sure my boys were cared for. Highly recommend we will be using her again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young—dogs, cats, and even horses. Neighbors often trusted me to feed and care for their pets while they were away, and I’ve rescued and nurtured strays over the years too. I currently have a high-maintenance pug with special diet and grooming needs, so I’m comfortable with pets requiring extra attention. I love spending time with animals, tuning into their personalities and keeping them happy and loved in their own familiar homes. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I can stop by for visits or walks at nearly any hour of the day. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and love filling my extra time giving them care, attention, and play. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I prefer sitting in your home so your pet can stay in their familiar, comfortable space. I’m gentle, attentive, and experienced with animals who need extra care or patience. You can count on me to follow your routines closely and keep your pets safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.
About: I love all kinds of pets from furry ones to scaly! I’ve been house/pet sitting for over 10 years. I fall in love with every animal and care for them as if they are my own and your pets will be safe and adored while in my care! I’m currently working 7:30am-4pm Monday-Friday with open evening and weekend availability. If needed during the day, I work in Shelton and live in Littlerock so during the work week I am unavailable for at least 8 hours in the daytime. I would prefer to care for your pets at their home so that they’re most comfortable! I do have two cats and a big dog so caring for yours at my home would be on a case by case basis. But I am willing to travel to make sure your babies are provided the most consistent care.
“Claire was amazing to our two kitty babies and we are so thankful for her!! She was so kind, considerate, and communicative. And when one of our cats had an unexpected issue with her eyes, Claire was quick to let us know and to do everything she could to take care of Marcy and to help us make sure she was okay even when we were far away and so worried about her. Claire went above and beyond and we would absolutely recommend her and contact her if we need a sitter ever again! 🖤🐈⬛🐈”

“Rayann did a great job taking care of Terabyte and Rafiki while we we went on a couple back to back trips. She was very accommodating of our cats' needs and was willing to be flexible with some of the scheduling. Would highly recommend booking her to take care of your babies! 🐱🐶”

About: I’ve had the privilege to be around animals my entire life. My dog is 13 yrs old and we’ve been together since she was 2 months old, so I have experience taking care of pups of any age or size! Pets are family and I will ensure they continue to be treated as such while providing excellent care for them. I provide at home care for my father during the day but my schedule is very flexible, and I’m completely free Sundays and Mondays! As long as there is communication, we can work something out! I will treat your fur babies with the same love and regard I treat my own, while following specialized care instructions down to the letter. Playtime, walks, scheduled feedings,and medication administration (if needed) are all part of the package!
“She was able to help me out on short notice when my other plans fell through and was easy to work and communicate with. Also sent me cute pics of my cat :)”

“This is the second time I had Becky look in on my cats while I was away. She had to deal with a few disruptions to my cats digestive systems. She handled everything calmly so I could enjoy my trip.”

About: I love animals & would love to watch your special family friend while you are gone! We have 2 acres with goats, a farm cat & 2 other dogs, running & playing is always tiresome for our pups each day! :) Running, playing catch taking a nap can all be done at our comforatable home! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine! Living on a farm, I’m already up early and outside tending to animals, so feeding, walking, and giving attention to pets fits in seamlessly. I make time throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the routine. Because I’m home the majority of the day, your pet will have plenty of supervision and company—not left alone for long periods. Pet care isn’t a task here—it’s just part of life! When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I provide a calm, supervised environment with plenty of space to roam, play, and relax—both indoors and outdoors on our farm. Pets have structured routines including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I follow any special instructions closely, such as medication schedules, feeding routines, or preferred activities. If I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I make sure they feel secure by sticking to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I always give updates to keep pet parents informed. In both settings, pets get lots of attention, affection, and care customized to their individual needs—whether they're energetic and playful or need a slower pace.
About: I’m a devoted animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own, drawing on years of experience caring for all kinds of personalities—from gentle senior cats to playful pups. I believe in proactive care and creating a calm, enriching environment through fun walks, cozy snuggles, and interactive play based on each pet’s energy level and preferences. Clients frequently compliment my communication style—I send frequent photo updates, highlight sweet moments, and keep detailed notes so you always know how your pet is doing. With a flexible schedule and a clean, pet-friendly home , I offer dependable companionship you can trust. I’m organized, responsive, and committed to following each pet’s routine to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working full time and am available to care for your companion in the evenings and on most weekends , also including most holidays. When caring for pets—whether in my home or yours—I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has their own unique routine, personality, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and follow their individual needs closely.
