“Aulelei is amazing! She is extremely thorough and flexible. I had a lot of specific requests and she never failed to follow through with all of those tasks. She made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable while I was away and I knew my dogs were in great hands! She was always on time and made sure my dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely rebook with Aulelei in the future! I loved all the pictures she sent and lovely notes at the end of each visit. She’s the best.”

“Thank you so much for dropping in to take care of our 4 legged family members! Jo was wonderful to send photos and arrived in the time frames we needed. Thank you, Jo! We'll be sure to let you know when we need another weekend getaway!”

“My doggies loved Amanda and she was so great with them! I was so pleased when she came by and met them prior to dates of service so they could be familiar with her. I was shocked how much they trusted her. She took great care of them and was so loving and kind. She did great with taking pictures and updating us on how they were doing. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”


“We are new to the area. In the past we have always had family close by to watch our pets. So we were pretty nervous about using a dog service for the first time. Hannah was very polite and professional when meeting her and asked good questions about our pet care needs. We were very pleased with the service Hannah provided. She sent daily pictures of our pets and we could tell they were happy as could be in her care. We will definitely use Hannah again and highly recommend her.”
“Lori was fantastic!! She sent videos daily of her playing with each cat and a very detailed description of each visit. She also went above and beyond by bringing in packages and the mail when she came. I highly recommend Lori to care for your fur babies!”

About: Hi my name is Liana and a mother of two! We just moved to Benton a couple of months ago and I'm looking forward to having clients here! I have always been a huge dog lover! I Have had pets since I was a little girl and I couldn't imagine my kids not growing up with one. From dogs, cats, bunnies, I treat all babies as if they were my own! Every type of pet needs love, if it’s just feeding or taking them outside, pets need nurturing and playtime. My Yorkie, Bella, is my world. I believe pets are a blessing that were put here on earth to give us love and companionship. If boarded, someone will always be home to play and care for your baby, along with my cat KeeKee. Thank you and God bless I do have pets of my own and I know first hand the love and attention they crave from people. They have feelings too :) I will make sure they go outside and get their business done and also make sure they have fresh water. Cleaning up after them if there's a need to.

“Tristin did such a great job taking care of our babies while we took a short trip with family and friends! With all of us leaving at once, we worried over what we would do with the pups during our vacation. Our 4 y/o Australian Shepherd gets anxious staying away from home and refuses to eat, which made boarding a less than desirable option. On top of that, our 4 y/o Weimaraner requires a bit of extra care with medicine twice daily. The drop-in visits worked perfectly for our kiddos, and they were able to stay in their own environment where they are most comfortable. Tristin sent regular updates and photos, and we came home to two happy dogs! She was so responsive and sweet, even from the first inquiry! Would definitely recommend and we won’t hesitate to contact Tristin first for any future pup-sitting needs!”

“Tara is awesome with our dog! Very easy to work with and made our vacation a lot better by taking care and sending pictures of our dog! We will be using her as long as she is available!”

About: I have had a love for animals my whole life and have cared for a variety of pets, anything from fish to horses. I am honest and trustworthy, I will treat your furbabies as my own. I have a full time job but am able to work around any schedule because of the flexibility in hours. I will typically be available weekends and nights. I currently have one dog, I make his food due to his allergies, he is indoor and just about as spoiled as they come. I also make homemade dog treats that I will bring and share with your pups if you allow it. I can’t wait to meet your babies!

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our four cats. She treated them as her own and even took care of an invasion of ants that we had during her visits. She was always on time and sent videos and pics of every visit. Thank you Michelle!!!”

About: I grew up on a farm in Arkansas with hunting dogs, horses, cats, chickens and all kinds of critters! Animals and caring for them have always been a huge passion of mine! I currently work full time as a Nurse Anethetist Monday- Friday from 7am-3pm. But i would love to care for your babies for a weekend or take them for long afternoon walks!! Will care for your pets depending on their routine and your preferences. Every pet is unique and requires different comforts. We can go for walks, hikes, or just lounge around on the couch and give them plenty of attention! Just ask and i will do whatever you need!!
“Ashleigh is the first person I contact when I need a pet sitter. She recently did a drop in visit for our cats and once again was excellent. She communicates well and she engages with the pets. I appreciate the pictures and knowing everyone is doing well.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9! My own, neighbors, and friends. I always treat everyone’s pets as my own and love them all. I work 12 hour shifts Wednesday-Friday. On my work days I am allowed to take a lunch break to go let the dogs outside. Every other day of the week I have a flexible schedule and can work around almost anything. I have a fenced in backyard with 2 very friendly dogs. My dogs have been around many other dogs and are always playful and nice! Dogs are always welcome inside my home and outside in the backyard.
