“Brittany was absolutely AMAZING taking care of our little Meatball while we were in Hot Springs getting married this past weekend. She was so detailed preparing to take care of her, sent us a ton of pictures throughout the stay, and even had Meatball paint is a picture!! We couldn’t have imagined a better stay for our girl and would highly recommend her to anyone else needing a sitter in Hot Springs.”
“Our second time leaving Prank and Melana was again fantastic! He loves her as do we, highly recommend to anyone needing a loving home to leave their pet with temporarily. Thanks Melana!”
“They were very accommodating to a very short notice overnight boarding. They sent me updates and pictures throughout Piper’s stay and she was very happy and tired whenever I picked her up. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be contacting them. 😊”
“Best experience ever boarding my Miniature Schnauzer. Carrie and family were super warm and welcoming. She sent pictures and updates regularly and just a perfect experience overall. Highest recommendation!”
About: Hello! My name is Nikki. My husband and I have just moved back to Hot Springs to be closer to my family! We love it here and are hoping to buy our own home soon. Because of this, I wanted to come up with some ideas of different ways I could build up our savings. I started out pet sitting to earn extra income but now it has become my favorite part of my day! I have a beautiful dog of my own that is a German Shepard/Great Pyrenees mix. She is close to 100lbs and so lovable. As a nanny part-time I have a pretty flexible work schedule especially when it comes to the middle of the day. I hope my schedule aligns with your needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day! My schedule is very flexible as I only work part time. My Family and I are total dog lovers so we cannot wait to meet your pets of all shape shapes, and sizes. We have a large fenced in backyard. A safe neighborhood to go on walks in the evenings. I also have two friendly dogs on my own to keep your dog company.

“Best Rover experience ever! Our dog immediately loved Rebekah and William and they sent multiple pictures every day. She loved their backyard and got to relax on the furniture if she wanted… we just know she had the best time. Total peace of mind for us, too.”
“Sherri has been amazing for my dog’s first time boarding. She listens to what your dog’s needs are, shares updates on the daily; even her dog, Winston, is a wonderful playmate.”
About: Hi! I’m Loretta — lifelong dog lover, proud rescue pup mom, and your pet’s new favorite human. 🐶💛 My kids and I share our home with our sweet rescue, Lucy, who’s friendly, playful, and always up for a game of zoomies or a neighborhood stroll. I know how busy life gets — work, school, travel — and I’m here to make sure your furry family member gets the care, love, and attention they deserve while you’re away. Services I offer: 🐕 Drop-in visits for potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles 🚶 Long or short walks to match your dog’s energy level 🏡 Dog sitting with plenty of love and belly rubs 🎾 Playdates with Lucy for social, dog-friendly pups Whether you have an energetic pup who needs a good romp or a senior dog who just wants gentle company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Expect lots of tail wags, happy photos, and total peace of mind. 📩 Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — your pup will thank you! 🐾 work night shift three nights a week, which means I’m available most days for drop-in visits, walks, or midday playtime. I can also care for your pup while you’re away at work, making sure they get the exercise, company, and love they need. At home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, plus a small doggie pool for cooling off on hot days. Inside, my pet-friendly setup is perfect for lounging on the couch or gazing out the window to “monitor” the neighborhood. On the evenings I’m not working, I’m available for evening visits and will give your furry friends the best care and attention possible. I love being outdoors — we can stay active with trips to the park, long walks, or a good game of fetch in the yard. While my own dog, Lucy, is very social and loves to play, I also happily accommodate dogs who are shy or prefer quiet one-on-one time. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for safe roaming and play. In our home, we believe our space is our pup’s space — they’re welcome to snuggle where we snuggle. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play ball in the yard, take trips to the park, or simply relax together. My dog, Lucy, is friendly and sociable, and can be a wonderful playmate for dogs who enjoy socializing. If your pup prefers alone time, I can easily accommodate that as well. All dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable — whether that’s curled up with the family, on their own bed, or in a kennel. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

Sarah loved our little guys so well! She sent pictures almost every day and let us know how they were doing! I know our boys loved running around in their fenced in yard and playing with the other pups. They were pooped when they got home! I would recommend Sarah to anyone who is in need of a pup sitter!
Sarah is truly amazing! I have a big dog who can be a bit intimidating at times, and there are very few people I feel comfortable leaving her with—but Sarah is at the top of that list. She’s kind, dependable, and always goes above and beyond. Her flexibility and great communication make the whole experience stress-free. I’m so grateful to have found Sarah. Can’t recommend her enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
