“Emily is such a great cat sitter! She not only took great care of our cat, but went above and beyond by helpings us with an impromptu visit to make sure our cat would be okay when our flight was delayed. She stands out from previous sitters, as it’s clear that she genuinely likes cats, is responsible, and detail oriented. Emily will be my go-to the next time our cat needs care!”
“Very pleased with Burgundy's drop-in visits to take care of my cat, Stanley. She was very flexible working with me and made sure Stanley was all taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is GREAT— she is reliable, prompt, and dependable caring for my three “Girls”- who are cats that act like cats do!!! She lets me know each visit how well they are behaving like cats and understands that - some days they are more interactive than others 🐈🐈🐈⬛😻”
“Amazing! Miguel went above and beyond. Great care & communication. I was so nice to have no worries about my cat being well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely use again. Thanks for everything!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and I truly believe that animals are one of life’s greatest gifts. I currently have 2 cats of my own, help care for my parent’s dog, and I grew up with a dog in the home. My current schedule is highly flexible, and I am available most days and times. I can commit to a consistent scheduled time or accommodate varied scheduling needs. I will treat your fur baby as if they were mine - cultivating an atmosphere of patience, kindness, protection, fun, and care are a priority for me when interacting with other’s beloved animals.
“Jurnee has been amazing for our family. We cannot say enough good things about her. She has taken excellent care of our Persian cat and put us at great ease knowing that she is so dependable. We could not recommend her more. Thank you, Jurnee!”
About: I've been cat-sitting since high school, watching friends' and neighbors' pets while they traveled. I am a cat owner myself and have personal, in-home experience with the furriest of overlords. I also have practice with the smallest of kittens as a volunteer with the Fort Smith Animal Haven. No cat too big, no beans too small... I can't wait to meet them all!! I'm currently between jobs, so your sit requests are my top priority! First come, first booked, of course, but I will do my best to make room for everyone in my schedule! At this point in time, I will not be offering in-home services as my space is too small and my own pets are too many. Safety is number one, and most cats are calmer (therefore safer) in their own space.

About: I have had pets in my home every since I was 4 years old, and when I moved out on my own, I quickly grew my own pet family! My husband and I have 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues! I am experienced with all sizes of dogs (mini yorkies to mastiffs!) and actually have a span of sizes in my own home. I am also experienced with rescues with complicated backgrounds, history of abuse, and reactivity. I understand that reactivity does not make a dog mean, and I am comfortable with dealing with that! I currently am a student with only one class per week, so I have plenty of time to play with your furry family members! I can come as many times a day as needed, stay overnight, or just come by to feed! Whatever you want/need! At my own home, all of my pets are inside pets, and sleep in the bed with me! I am comfortable with whatever set-up you have in your home, and whatever stage your pet is in. I am experienced with crate training and am comfortable with that as well.
About: I like dogs and I'm good at caring for them. I'm responsible and nurturing. We have two dogs, Olive and Lady. I'd love to meet you and your babies. I would feed them and care for them before work and after. I would also be willing to stop by on my lunchbreak. We can work out the details together. I play with them on leashes outside or in fenced in areas. I will change water, feed, and give treats as needed. I can spend time there at the home with your pet as requested.
About: Lifelong dog person, aspiring animal trainer. I believe in fear-free, force-free methods and a calm, friendly approach. I am fit and can keep up with high-energy dogs. I am a professional trainer and former veterinary assistant who can help your dogs learn and exercise while staying safe and happy! I have a couple part-time commitments right now but lots of open time in my schedule and I would love the opportunity to work with as many dogs as possible. I believe in management first solutions to problems and giving the dog/dogs a healthy outlet for natural behaviors. Train with games, focus on the reward. Meet the dogs needs. Build communication, engagement and trust.

Jasmine D.
“I highly recommend Jasmine as a dog care giver with Rover. She has been taking care of my Goldendoodle, Lucy, for the last 2 months, and I am so happy with the way she provides love, discipline (when needed), and active attention. Jasmine and her family are great at recognizing Lucy’s needs and putting them first. She regularly walks her, feeds her on a set schedule, and even sleeps with her. I am very confident in Jasmine, and I know any dog (and dog parent) would be lucky to have her!”
