“Scout was great! Very interactive with sending photos while we were away on our trip and our pup Layla got some much needed adventure while on the farm with Scout and her family too!”


“Ashtin was an amazing host for our pup! She was accommodating, responsive, and we loved getting the picture updates. Tuck had a blast running around in her backyard and came home a happy, tired pup. We would definitely book with her again!”


“Mr. Jackie is literally the BEST!! This was the first time that I left my 6 year old dog with someone that isn’t family. This time all my family was traveling together and I’m so glad we found Jackie. Cami is an anxious dog to say the least, and Mr. Jackie (along with his family and friends) treated Cami like family. They had so much patience for her and made her feel as comfortable as possible during the two weeks. We LOVE the daily updates her provides with photos and videos! If he’ll take us, we’ll go to him every time!”



“Amber takes such good care of my dog! She loves him like he’s her own and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her. She is great about sending updates and pictures when he is with her. I’ve used her multiple times and plan to continue trusting her with my pet in the future.”


“Our pup loved his stay! Charlene and her family took great care of him, sending pics and updates along the way. They were also very accommodating to some slight time changes when our schedule changed. Would recommend them to everyone!”


“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”


“Shannon and her husband are a wonderful couple who have been very kind to our puppy, Cooper. On the first day of boarding, Cooper was very excited to play with their kids, and they made her feel welcome right away. As first-time pet parents, we were anxious about boarding Cooper since she is less than four months old. We feel so lucky to have found Shannon and are incredibly grateful that she fits Cooper into their busy schedule. Shannon has been great about sending us photos and videos of Cooper almost four times a day, which has been very reassuring. She also asked for detailed instructions on how to take care of Cooper properly. We believe Shannon is the best in town and would gladly board Cooper with her anytime. Thank you”


“We were passing through Little Rock on a road trip with our boxer pup, Mr. Darcy, and we needed somewhere for him to stay during the day while we were sightseeing. Justina was available on relatively short notice, and she was perfect for us! She was flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, and Mr. Darcy got along great with Justina and her pup Brownie. It seemed like he had a fun day with her. If we are ever in need of a dogsitter in Little Rock again, we will definitely choose to work with Justina again. Thanks, Justina, for giving us peace of mind while we explored your town!”


“Paws and pups took such amazing care of my dog. We received updates on how she was doing and they let us know if she was getting along with the other dogs during her stay. I will definitely be using them the next time I am out of town. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for overnight, longer term boarding. Our dog was with them for 5 days and she came back happy, and healthy.”


“Tammy is amazing! She has such a calming and welcoming spirit. My dog has separation anxiety and to see my pup jump up to tell her goodbye was so sweet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!!”


“Cody S was really nice and very patient with Jack...Cody really understands canine behavior and taught me a few things about my own dog… He kept me updated with photos of Jack everyday..I would give Cody 100 stars if I could..”


“I recently had my dog, Portia, looked after by Scott and his wife, and I couldn't be happier with their service! They kept me updated throughout her stay and even sent adorable pictures to show how much fun she was having. When I picked her up, she was happy and well-cared-for, and they even left a sweet note for me. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”


About: I've owned dogs all my life and truly love pups of every shape and size! I have experience giving oral medications, treating ear issues, and making dogs feel comfortable and safe. There’s a beautiful park right across the street where I love taking dogs for walks, and plenty of space in my fenced backyard for playing fetch. Your furry family member will get plenty of love, care, and playtime here! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility in my schedule to come home for midday walks or check-ins. I’m home in the early mornings and evenings to give your pet attention, walks, and playtime, and I’m completely free on weekends for even more park visits, backyard play, and cuddles. Your dog will always get daily exercise, companionship, and loving care as part of my daily routine! I have a large secure fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and explore. Your pup will also have a friendly resident dog for company. Inside, there’s a special room dedicated just for pets to relax or nap comfortably. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to crate them as long as you provide the crate. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving home-away-from-home for every pet!

“Ali was great with Aria! She was super accommodating and I could tell our Aria had a great stay with her! She was good at communicating and we had peace of mind that Aria was with her ☺️ would 100% recommend!”


“Lindsey was great with my Amara. She gave me photos and updates to assure me my little girl was okay. Amara seemed to fit right in with Lindsey and her family. She came home happy and seemingly more behaved. She even sent "Mari" home with some of her homemade pumpkin treats. Would recommend Lindsey.”
