Dog Sitting Springdale

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.

“Haley is excellent. I really needed someone to count on. A+”

About: I will take care of your pets like my own. I've taken care of dogs with dietary issues, hip/spine injuries, infections and open wound care, drainage, post-surgical care. I feel comfortable administring medications and cleaning/dressing wounds (ears eyes paws and mouth included) as prescribed by Vet. I've taken care of seniors and puppies, various sizes 15-180lb, various breeds. I have handled all personalities - sweet, outgoing, too friendly, curious, anxious, escape artists, reactive and aggressive pups. I looove BIG PAWS! XXL dogs are my favorite! I can teach some basic training commands and work on leash reactivity and pulling. I would like to do a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) for 10 minutes before scheduling care (this familiarity will help your pet feel at ease, instead of a total stranger trying to walk them or enter their home). I can room/board established nonreactive clients (must be ok with small animals and kids) on a case by case basis. I unfortunately cannot care for cats due to severe allergies/asthma. (But will gladly pet them while holding my breath!) Unrelated, but I can also water and prune your plants. Whatever you need, I'll make it work. I'm free on weekends, m/w/f, and mornings+evenings on t/th. I will consider boarding non-reactive non-feline animals, must be discussed in advance. I start the day with a scrubbed clean water bowl. Then we can play with toys, throw ball, go outside on a slow stroll, walk, or run, all depending on the pet's needs. Your pets will get to enjoy outside time, sniff as much as they please. If your dog's recall is reliable, I can discuss off-leash time, but only with consent, and only after the dog is an established client. If you are comfortable with it, I will drive them to nearby wooded parks so they can sniff to their heart's content. Whatever your pet needs and wants, is what I will provide. I will care for them like I do for mine.

“Haleigh did an amazing job doing a drop in visit at our house. I felt totally safe giving her the code so she could come in and take care of our pup. She brought her three kids and they were successfully able to get him to potty, give him water and she sent me photos of her kids playing with him. It was super cute to see them all playing together and we were so thankful to have her drop by the house on a busy day to take the dog out.”

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has only grown. I enjoy learning and understanding animals and take caring for them very seriously. I am available everyday and work morning hours Thursday - Sunday. I am a morning person and wake up around 7 am everyday regardless if I am working or not. I care for all animals as if they are my own. I’ve been around animals my entire life and understand when they need something or are trying to convey a need or want.

“Emily was fantastic with all 4 of my pets! She was punctual and kept me informed of everything going on with them. She sent lots of photos and made sure they were all well cared for. A real peace of mind for me when I need to be away. Thank you Emily!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m happy to complete walks, administer medications, clean litter boxes, and give your babies any specific attention that you require I’m currently about to start the school year, so I am available on weekends, evenings, or early mornings. Depending on the time of year, I may have more availability. Let’s discuss what works best for your needs! I prefer to complete drop-in services as needed due to having fur babies that are very structured in their own routines. Contact me and we can discuss logistics!

About: I've always been drawn to animals since I was small. Having grown up with cats and dogs, I have learned to recognize their signs of distress and comfort. Most of my experience involves cats, however I do care for two senior dogs on behave of my family. I take care of four cats and two dogs, three of them being seniors. With specialized meals and medications, each one of my pets are living their best lives. Our kittens have grown attached to our seniors, and they have grown fond of their furry families. I take pride in how friendly they are with one another. On my free days in the week, I love to spend time with our furry critters. Each pet gets specialized one on one time catered to their needs. My highly energized pets recieve play time and my low energy pets get plenty of pets. This care is a daily joy that can be brought to other pet owners who worry for their pets during the day and want updates. This routine starts in the morning with a cup of food per pet, continues on to play after their naps, and finishes off with cuddles at night. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of running space for dogs of any size. I also have a friendly dog that would be more than happy to play with your furry pet. If needed, dogs will be in nightly kennels and all animals will have a separate room just for themselves to ease anxiety or discomfort. Each pet will get plenty of pictures, playtime, and scheduled feeding times based on their needs and the owners expectations. That includes medications wether it be oral or topical.

“Alicen has been amazing with our puppy. He is a very anxious and shy dog and she has been great with him and he immediately became comfortable around her. She is very communicative and always updating us. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Slava T.

“Iyari was fantastic!! My dog absolutely loved her, and she left detailed comments about her visits. She also stopped in on time, and I had no worries about hiring her for the weekend. She was also very easy to get in touch with. I will definitely book with her again:)”
