“Mishai took excellent care of my fur babies while I took a mini Christmas vacation with me family! My dogs , rabbits and ducks appreciate the love that she gave all of them I’m my place! I highly recommend Mishai! We will be asking for Mishai again in the furture!???”


“He is the best person to ever take care of my dogs. He is responsible and truly loves my dog’s. I can finally go away and not worry about them. He even took one of my dogs to the vet and waited all day until they called him to pick her up. If it wasn’t for him I would of had to cancel my trip. He takes his time and shows my dogs the love and care I highly recommend him.”


About: I have had dogs as a pet my whole life and so has all my family members. I have helped deliver 7 liters from many different dogs. I've dreamed of being a veterinarian since I was little, that's how much I love animals in general. I have given oral meds and injections to dogs and cats. I love playing with animals and snuggles! Dogs & cats just make my heart full, but you can never have too many animals! I'm always trying to get my hubby to agree to more animals all the time! I own 5 cats and 22 chickens. I have had dogs and a bearded dragon before. I think animals are amazing and they always take to me like I'm their family. I have experience with some reptiles and fish as well. Your babies will be spoiled rotten with me! I'm usually available 7 days a week at some point in the day. I always make time for my fur babies! Just message me to work something out. I care for my pets by feeding them once or twice a day depending on the animal. I also give each of them their special diet tailored to them. They all get adequate time and space to use the bathroom and get lots of snuggles! I will do the same with my client's pets. I will care for them as my own, exactly how their owner requests with lots of loving on them in between!

About: I've been a cat owner for most of my adult life. I have always loved dogs as well and will keep your pet safe and happy while you are away. I have plenty of time to play, care or walk your pet. My schedule is open most days and weekends are not an issue for me. I would prefer to do drop in visits, or walks around the block. My cat is friendly, but not accustomed to other pets. I could let her be in her own room if needed. I do have a nice back yard but it is not fenced in.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring more than just pet sitting — I bring true peace of mind. I’ve worked with animals of all kinds, from energetic puppies and curious cats to senior pets with special needs. Animals aren’t just a job to me , they’re family. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment for every pet in my care. Whether it’s belly rubs, medication schedules, or just quality companionship, I treat each pet like my own. I understand their body language, their routines, and most importantly, their hearts. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I’ve intentionally made space for. I work from home, which means I have the flexibility to give your pets the attention they need throughout the day. I don’t have young children or other pets, so my focus stays 100% on your furry family member. This allows me to create a calm, low-stress environment tailored just for them, whether they need playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a cozy lap to nap on. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, personality, and quirks. Whether they’re energetic or anxious, playful or shy, I meet them where they are with patience and kindness. I also send regular updates, photos, and videos so you feel close and connected while you’re away.

About: I have grown up around animals. I have had cats and dogs.I currently live with two dogs. I truly love all types of animals 🤍 I can be available for housesitting as well as pet sitting as this allows me to be more flexible while still working my full-time job. (Mon-Fri 8:30-5:00). I currently have Saturday and Sundays off so I can be available in the early morning, afternoon, and evenings. I can not offer availability in my home at this time but at the clients house I would make sure the animal is comfortable with me first. I would make sure of they don't have a fenced in area that they are on a leash and make sure they have plenty of exercise and cuddles before I leave!

About: I’ve taken care of my parents dogs ever since I’ve been 15, playing going on walks, feeding, taking out. I now have my own two doggies at home, one who is willow girl which is a Boykin/Lab and then Pedro who was a rescue that just showed up here and became family- he is a mutt but we love him! I work full time monday thru Thursday and half days Fridays so being able to be home with the other pups until we get home is wonderful if your puppy goes in a crate when you leave for work we can accommodate that but if not they would have free range of the house, once we get home though we have plenty of play time and even like to do an evening play time outside, if that works for the doggy though! Weekends I have clear availability I have a house the dogs can roam around, I have a back porch that can be gated and huge backyard for the dogs to play, it is unfortunately not fenced yet. Plenty of space to play fetch etc in the house, and dogs are welcome on furniture- couch, beds.

About: I adopted my own boy and learned a lot just from our short visits in the shelter. I was asked to volunteer at the shelter for my strong dedication to helping him learn and providing the love he needed. I currently work at the hospital with an unusual shift.

I will take care of your fur baby like my own! Unfortunately I will not be able to take any dogs into my own home as my current dog is animal aggressive from being attacked previously.

About: hey y'all, I'm Brianna, I am 22 years old.I live in Conway and just graduated from Coastal. I have had animals my whole life! I have a corgi named Scarlett! She’s the cutest. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of any age from puppies to seniors! I understand that every dog is different and has their own needs. I always think that animals are here to be loved, supported, and have a happy and healthy life. I have a reliable source of transportation as well as a flexible schedule. if I am staying in your home, I will leave it better than I found it. more than comfortable with dog parks but also understand that dog parks are not for every dog. willing to bathe the dogs. I do have a job but it is easy to work around it. As long as I know ahead of time, I can also work from home! I am completely comfortable with anything that you typically do in your day to day with your animals. I feel like animals should always stick to their schedules even if their owners are not there.

Lindsey G.
“Lindsey would be a great pet caregiver as she has several years of experience with dogs. She grew up with a dalmatian for most of her childhood so she learned how to care for a pet at an early age. Her family also had two huskies during her teenage years which she also took care of as far as feeding, walking and playing with them so lots of experience gained from that as well. She has a love for pets and loves playing with them and teaching them tricks. She currently has her own dalmatian which she is currently training as he is only 5 months old. She loves animals and would love to help take care of yours while working. She is trustworthy and very reliable and would love your animals like her own.”
