Pet 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.

“Amazing job taking care of our little pup!”

“This is the 3rd time we have used Venita! We don’t have to worry at all when we leave our babies with her. She loves them just as if they were her own!”

“Malia was so wonderful taking care of my dogs. They took to her right away like she was someone they knew for a longtime. She even helped my bunny back into his cage after he somehow got out. Definitely will be reaching out to her again.”

“Barbara has helped us with our golden retriever puppy for the last 7 months. She has came every Monday thru Friday to let him out while we are working. She has never missed a day, very responsive, and very reliable! She is so sweet and recommend her to anyone who is wanting helping with their pets. We are truly grateful for her!”

“I definitely recommend! I was very skeptical at first because it was my first time booking a pet sitter but she was amazing. we met prior to the booking just to meet each other and talk a little! she followed instructions very well and I could tell my cats loved her company and were very comfortable. I loved all the photos she send and will book again!”

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.

About: Being a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and feeling at home while you’re away. I genuinely love dogs and already take care of one of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving them attention and consistency. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dog, I care for them like they’re part of my own household, because I already live that way with my own pet. I run a real estate company, but most of my work is done on my computer so I’m home and available throughout the day. I occasionally step out for short periods, usually about an hour or less, but I’m generally around and able to give pets attention, care, and consistency. I care for my own dog daily, and he’s older so I’m used to giving extra attention and following a care routine. I handle his eye drops and medication, and I’m very attentive to his needs like feeding times and when he wants to go outside. He’s well trained, but more importantly I’m used to being observant and consistent with him. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable adapting to any dog’s routine and following specific instructions to make sure they’re cared for exactly how their owner prefers.

“Emily was great with my cats as always! She leaves detailed check in notes and was able to get my shy kitty to come out of his shell. Highly recommend to anyone needing a cat/pet sitter in the area.”

About: My family always had dogs growing up, so I've been around them my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I've had them both since they were puppies. Brodee (a small lapdog) is now a spry 13 year old. Watson (a big moose) is now a very good 5 year old boy. Between the two of them, I've handled everything from puppy zoomies to senior-dog routines, so I'm comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or energy level. ——— I went through obedient training with Watson. This strengthened my understanding of how direct interactions can shape relationships with dogs. Our bond is really strong. ——— I regularly care for friend's dogs when they're out of town. Including feeding, freshwater, playtime, walks, and yes, cleanung up any messes without a second thought. Your dog's routine stays their routine while you're away. ——— Fair warning; I'm the person who asks "can I pet your dog?" to every single dog I see, then I end up lying on the ground letting them climb all over me. Your dog will get genuine, enthusiastic attention here, not just a bowl refill and a bathroom break. For weekdays, I am mostly available right in the morning and the later evening. I could make midday work with more planning. Weekends are pretty open. Feeding & Water I follow your dogs existing schedule and portions. I know how important it is to keep the dog's water available and their food reliable. They have amazing sense of time and they want their food when they expect it. --- Medication My senior dog as to take medication twice daily, so I am very familiar with how important timing of medication is. --- Exercise & Playtime Depending on the need of service, I may be the only contact your dog has for the day, so I want to make that time as enjoyable and exciting as possible for them. I get down on the floor with them and play. Tug, fetch, belly rubs, whatever your dog is into. --- Clean-Up Accidents happen! I handle messes promptly so they don't get any worse. --- Communication I can provide updates and photos as requested so you can have the piece of mind knowing that your little ones are being cared for while you are away.

“Alyx watched our kids on short notice and totally knocked it outta the park! I’m a nervous pet parent and she totally made me feel at ease. Lots of photos and communication which made leaving my kids so much easier. My home and my Kids were in such safe hands 🖤 thank you Alyx!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. I truly prefer them to people and can’t wait to love on yours! After a life time of pet care, very little surprises me. I work with incredible flexibility, and hope at some point to make loving on other people’s fur babies by full time income. Can’t wait to meet your babies! I have a fenced in yard and two doggies to help make your dog feel welcome. I’m also able to crate your animals if necessary.

About: I have house-sat and cared for both dogs and cats, as well growing up and having animals living with me almost my whole life (both my own and roomate’s pets). I have had to administer medicine to both dogs and cats in the past while taking care of them, and am comfortable with doing so. Drop-In Visits: Weekdays, I can typically provide these in the very early morning (630am) and evening (after 5pm). Weekends I will usually have more flexibility. House Sitting: I typically work full time during the week (Monday-Friday), so I am gone 10-11 hours total (up to 45 minute commute each way, and then an 9 hour shift). When you request a booking, I will make sure to give you more specific details on what my schedule looks like during your dates if it varies from my normal availability. I will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would treat my own! I know pets are like family, and I want you to know they are in good hands!

“We have used Lora for years with our dogs and can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs love her, she is great at taking pics for updates and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”

Lori V.

“Anna was very professional. She was also very patient as we originally had the wrong dates. She showed up on time for multiple appointments and we came back with all of our girls happy.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 (now 21) and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, large dogs, and senior pets who may need extra patience. I usually sit in the owner’s home so pets can stay in their normal routine, but I can also bring them to my home if needed. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I also send photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for! Pet care fits well into my schedule. I usually work about 40 hours a week with shifts like 6am–3pm, 8am–5pm, or occasionally 1pm–10pm. When I’m dog sitting, I make sure pets are cared for before I leave for work and I come straight home afterward. I can also stop by during my lunch break if needed. I’m flexible when possible and make sure pets get consistent care and attention every day.🐾 I make sure pets are always safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care the pet needs. I keep a close eye on them, make sure they have plenty of attention and exercise, and always respect the client’s home while keeping the pet’s environment calm and safe. 🐾

“Martin has been a great sitter for my dog. Their communication and reliability has been wonderful and I’ve had peace of mind knowing my dog (and cat) gets to see them while I’m away. Thank you Martin!”

“Dave is amazing! He visited my bunnies and took care of them exceptionally! He was very communicative and helpful! Super recommended! Will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Dave!”
