About: IMPORTANT NOTE: On weekends, I am available to drive up to 60 miles. On weekdays, I can travel up to 30 miles. I am currently experiencing an issue with my calendar that incorrectly shows me as unavailable on weekdays, but this is not the case. Please read below for my actual available times. I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, having grown up with both cats and dogs. I understand cat behavior well and can recognize when a dog is happy, anxious, or uncomfortable. My love for animals goes beyond pet care—I always stop to help if I see a lost dog because every pet deserves to feel safe and loved. I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure pets feel comfortable and happy in my presence 💜 I work full-time at a law firm during the week but am available to look after your pet from 5:30 to 8:00 PM on weekdays. On Fridays, I get off work at 1:00pm so I’m available by 2:00pm then. On weekends, I’m ready to leave my house by 12:00 PM to dedicate my time fully to caring for pets—a passion of mine. While I’m not a morning person, spending hours with animals is a dream come true, and I’m committed to giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. 😊 I have a fenced-in yard that was perfect for my beloved chihuahua, Pedro. As he got older and had difficulty using his back legs, my grandpa had a ramp installed so he could move up and down easily without struggle. I always prioritized his comfort—even on rainy days, I never let him out in the cold but instead gave him a space in the garage where he could stay dry. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and adapting to a pet’s individual needs. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. 😊

About: I am currently the owner of a puppy that's high energy so I can keep up with any dog of any energy level. I've also looked after various dogs in my family. I'm currently studying in an online course so my schedule is open for any sort of pet care needs. And after I finish my course I'll be available in the evenings, overnight, and weekends. I like to make sure all pet related areas of the home are clean and tidy including changing out puppy pads and cleaning out litter boxes. I also make sure food and water is available for the pet at all times. And I really enjoy play time and snuggles.

About: I’ve been taking care of my neighbors and family friend’s pets since I moved to Jonesboro 3 years ago. I am well versed in the needs of all pets, regardless of age or size. I will go the extra mile to make sure your pets have an enjoyable time and carefully maintain their needs. I’m currently out of college for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care, walk, or stay overnight to watch your fur babies.

About: I have been responsible for animals one way or the other since I was 10 years old. I regularly care for my mother's shih-tzu and friends' larger labs when they're out of town. I have 5 cats of my own that are spoiled rotten and have a great love for all animals.

I understand the weight of finding good pet care and would be happy to help relieve that weight from your shoulders! I work full-time for the public school, so during the time of year we are in school, I'm only available on weekends or after 330pm on week days. During the summer, my availability is wide open 7 days a week. I am able to follow through with any care instructions necessary in the clients home, whether that be remaining in a fenced yard, going out on a leash only, or being crated during particular hours.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of looking after dogs for over 30 years (and a rabbit who thought he was a dog 😄). My Caverpoo Charlie was born just after my husband and I were married so we call him our Honeymoon Baby. He sleeps with us every night and enjoys the freedom of a large garden/yard area. A couple of years ago I attended the Dog Academy to qualify as a handler for an Emotional Support Animal so that we could take Charlie to Scotland, UK. I am originally from Scotland so it was very important to me to take Charlie ‘Home’ and walk him along ‘my beach’. In the past I have had 2 poodles that both lived until they were 16 years old. I’d had them since they were 8 weeks old, so I understand how to care for younger and older dogs. Also, many years ago I attended a Dog Grooming Course at College in my spare time. I made it all the way to the Anal Glands lesson until Bella looked at me and said I quit!! 😆 I have so many pet stories to share with you, so feel free to reach out to find out more. You can have full confidence that your precious fur baby will be in safe loving hands! Kind Regards Christina 🐾 I’m Self-Employed managing a business from home. This allows me the freedom and flexibility to look after your dog in a manner it is accustomed to. I have 2 large yards (front/back). Although they are not technically fenced in, there is a lot of privacy. We are located at the end of a cul-de-sac (3 acres) with 1 neighbor to our right and acres of woods to the left. My dog is used to not being on a lead but I wouldn’t take my chances with yours. I have a large shop building outside (20x40) so if it was raining your dog could stretch his legs here. I also have a medium sized crate if required. I currently have 5 rescue cats who get to sleep in the house during the day but all go out at night until the next morning. They are friendly and used to my Caverpoo but you would need to feel confident that your dog would be ok alongside them.

From playful pups to curious cats, I've cared for them all with expertise and love. Trust me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve 💜 I am currently a full time student but I do not have a job outside of school currently. So, my schedule is mostly free to provide care for animals! It depends on what service is booked. However, I will treat all pets with proper care, attention and love. I try to minimize changes as much as possible so that the animal is most comfortable.
