Dog Walking Sonora

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life, I grew up with 15 dogs on 3 acres. I have never not owned a dog with my senior pit coming up on 17 years with me. Currently home full time most days of the week, kids will be in school full time. I can work around your schedule & needs for pick-up, drop-off or drop ins. I live on 5 acres away from all main streets and a private drive for plenty of running space. I have converted my shed into a climate controlled dog house that has a fenced in area for the runners but if you prefer them to be inside I have plenty of space.

“Barbara is great with Alphie and you can tell she loves dogs and has a very gentle soul. She’s very responsive and will take very good care of your furry loved ones!”

“Anna was kind and patient with my nervous dog. She is a genuine person with a genuine love for dogs and all animals and sizes in general. My anxious girl warmed right up to her and came back tired and content after their walk. If you have any doubts, don’t! Book Anna now!”

“Takes great care of my pup and is super kind!!! Would definitely recommend ☺️🐕”

About: I’m a University of Arkansas graduate and a lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has become a big part of my life. I have my own dog, who I got after graduating, and for the past 8+ months I’ve been fostering dogs in need through Big Paws of the Ozarks. Fostering has given me extensive hands-on experience with dogs of many breeds, personalities, ages, and needs, including shelter dogs who may be nervous, stressed, or adjusting to a new environment. I’ve become very comfortable introducing new dogs into my home and helping them adjust to both me and my own dog, which is especially important when boarding. Fostering has also taught me to recognize canine body language and cues, so I’m able to tell when a dog is stressed, tired, overstimulated, or simply needs some space or a break. Above all, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to meet each dog where they are—whether that means lots of playtime and walks or giving a nervous or senior pup a little extra time and care. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with dogs through walks, runs, playtime, and snuggles, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. I have two extra bedrooms, so I can give each dog their own comfortable space at night if they prefer to sleep in a crate or have some quiet time. I’m also happy to let dogs sleep with us if that’s what they’re used to. My priority is always making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and supervised, while also making sure their interactions with my dog are positive.

About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and I have a variety of pets now! I have experience with lizards/amphibians, small animals, cats, and dogs. I do have a demanding school schedule but I will work with you to figure out good times for both of us! I’m usually available in the afternoon and evening. I offer going to your house to take care of your pets. I’m used to skittish pets, I will take my time for them to get to know me.

About: Hey there! My name is Sam and I just moved to Arkansas from Texas! A little about me, I am a mental health therapist and primarily see clients online at this point in my career! I have been an animal lover my entire life. There hasn't been a time in my life where I haven't had an animal living with me (except my freshman year in college, but it was probably better that way!) I started by dog/cat sitting for family and friends back in Texas and that has grown into a side business that I want to bring to Arkansas. I’ve watched all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragon, ferrets, bunnies, horses, donkeys, goats, and more! I now only have one cat, Millie, who loves me and pretty much no one else. I miss having pups in my life and don't know a whole lot of people in Arkansas yet so I figured this would be a great way to connect and love on some animals! I hope to hear from you soon! My schedule is mostly consistent from week to week but I work odd hours and times. I work from home so I would be available all day! If I’m watching your pup at my home, I have an entirely enclosed fence so they would get plenty of outdoor/run time. Your pup would have to get along with cats, however mine will typically stay away if she knows someone or something else is in the house!

About: I have experience in taking care of pets ever since I was 5 years old. I have the most experience with taking care of dogs with feeding, bathing, walking, and training. A pet is a family member and will be treated as such. I work from home every day and am able to freely care for your furry friend throughout the day and attend to their needs as needed. I have 3 kids who also love dogs. I am open all week and will make sure your pet is considered part of the family when taking care of them. I do not have a fenced-in yard but will walk your fur baby daily. We go out 3 times a day every day and have play time or stimulation such as lick mats daily.

About: What sets me apart is my just under 4 years of hands-on experience as an Animal Control Officer combined with my NACA (National Animal Care & Control Association) Level 1 & 2 Certifications. I offer a level of professional expertise, safety, and behavioral knowledge that standard sitters simply cannot replicate. NACA 1 & 2 Certified Expertise: My formal certifications mean I am highly trained in animal identification, advanced handling, and field safety. I know exactly how to handle pets of all types, sizes, and difficulty levels safely. High-Difficulty & Reactive Pets: My background as an officer makes me the go-to specialist for reactive, anxious, or fearful animals. I read subtle body language, prevent triggers, and safely de-escalate stressful situations. Senior Care & Medical Tracking: I bring a calm, professional approach to senior pets. I handle precise medication schedules, mobility support, and emergency health assessments with absolute precision. Puppy Safety & Structure: I implement strict safety protocols for puppies, ensuring they are constantly supervised, kept away from hazards, and reinforced with positive routines.

“I have had the pleasure of having Emily as Freddy’s walker for a couple weeks now and she is absolutely Awesome!! She truly goes above and beyond to make sure that Freddy gets the exercise and attentive attention any dog owner would want. Emily is hands down the best choice for your pet and money period!!”

About: I love caring for animals - both my own and for others! I have sat dogs for friends on deployment, taken care of mixed pet households (including cats and dogs), cared for senior and disabled dogs, and have experience caring for a wide range of non-traditional pets as well. I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to a wonderful daughter, and my partner works from home, so I have flexibility in my daily and weekly schedules. I understand that different pets need different care and support. Have a super energetic dog? I love playing fetch and going on long walks. Have a kitty that needs silence and space? I'm happy to provide quiet company and respect their boundaries. I'm attentive, consistent, detail-oriented, and responsive. I take caring for your animals as seriously as my own.

About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.

“Bear loved her! She took him on walks and gave him treats and sent me pictures each time. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggie!”

About: I am a responsible care taker and have enjoyed taking care of many pets, most especially dogs. Big or small. Lazy or hyper... I love animals! My name is Sharon. I am a mom and grandma. I currently work remotely from home as my primary employment. I enjoy reading literature and walking in the park. If you need someone loving and responsible to care for your pet, it could be me! I work remotely from home (on my pc) during certain scheduled hours through out the week for my primary job. Since my work is flexible it leaves plenty of time for quality pet care. I plan to drive to my client's home and take care of their pets as per their wishes. I also have a fenced in yard and a sidewalk where I live so pet sitting at my home is also an option.

“Alexa was so kind and helpful caring for my pup. She went above and beyond to make sure all his needs were met and that I was informed throughout her visit.”

About: I have my own pups and a cat. I am an absolute animal lover and get excited to meet and care for new fur babies. Short walks or long walks I don't mind. Baby pups to older pups I love them all. Cats are a bonus too. Just give me a call day or night and I can ensure you will be very pleased with me caring and loving your fur babies. 💕 my family and friends have depended on my to care and love their pets while they were away and they were always so happy to see the pictures of their pet playing and eating, drinking, and going for walks. 😊 I work at a hospital Sundays but I'm available all other 6 days of the week. I'm home during the week and would love to have some fur babies to play with and love on. My kiddos and I are animal lovers and just want to be there for any of them if we can. I have a fenced in back yard to run and play. I have a trail in front of my house that I can take them on walks as well. Day or night I can care for your babies. 😊 it's always my pleasure to be able to help in any kind of way.

About: Growing up, I’ve never went without a pet in my house. I currently have 4 dogs at home, ranging from 2 years old, to seniors so I have a knowledge of a wide range of ages! I’ve also owned rodents consistently throughout my whole life (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc) so I have vast experience with those as well if needed! I also have experience with bird and cat care. Whatever pet you have, I can take care of it! I’m a current college student with a passion for pets looking to provide excellence service to any and all pets you have! I’m available nearly 24/7 for drop-in petsitting and in-house stays! I also do same day booking, though I would especially prefer at least a days notice for in-house stays. In my home, safety is one of our main priorities. With puppies at home, I always make sure anything that is toxic or hazardous is picked up off the floor to prevent choking. Same with our elderly dog, to prevent tripping. I do several bathroom breaks a day, making sure to play with them hands on, and pet them to let them know they’re loved too. Im constantly checking food and water, and I would apply these same things in my clients’ homes. I’m used to the crazy with all of mine, so bring on the chaos!

“I’ve been using Venita for a few weeks now! She is extremely responsive, takes amazing care of my two young puppies and is so trust worthy!! She communicates great!! I highly recommend her!”
