Very kind and sweet person! Zoro happily ran back inside the house and that says a lot. Will definitely reach out to Brintney for her help if we are in town again.

As always, Prank loved his time spent, what I am sure he thinks, at his second home! We have complete trust and highly recommend to anyone looking for the best possible dog sitter!

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.

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. 😊

Rebekah & William are amazing! They have a warm and fun personality that makes both humans and dogs feel welcomed. They took excellent care of our Sebastian - I’m sure he felt like he was staying at grandma and grandpa’s because he was so spoiled with attention and with their huge backyard. We especially loved all the photos and videos they sent - brought a huge comfort to us. Your pup will be well taken care with them. Hoping to use their services again.

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.

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for a few months, I’ve had a few pets myself and currently have a six year old beagle/basset-hound named Cupcake. She’s so sweet and loves belly rubs! I love all animals but I have a soft spot for dogs. I love playing with them and walking with them. They always make me laugh with their different personalities. If there are any questions or concerns please let me know and I’d be happy to help! I just got my basics from college and this is my only responsibility right now! ☺️ I always make sure the pet has everything they need such as food, water, medicine, toys, and blankets. If there are any instructions I’ll be sure to check everything off!

This is the second time Sarah has watched my dog. Again, she did a great job. My dog was happy playing with the other dogs and Sarah's daughter. I plan on booking with her again.
