“Susan was the best caretaker for my sweet Mia that I could have hoped for. Mia likes a calm environment and that’s what she got with Susan. Mia doesn’t usually play and eat with new people but she was so happy with Susan, she ate a bunch and I got videos of her being playful. She felt at home, and came back to me happy. I will be using Susan’s services again.”
“They were great! Very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We got pictures and videos daily! Our pitbull got along nicely with their other dogs and seemed to have a great time! We didn't worry about anything and will absolutely be using them again!”
“Sandra has taken care of AJ several times and always does such a great job. She is great at communication and sharing how he is doing. AJ seems happy whenever we pick him up. Thank you.”
“Second time having Chase watch Pony and again, he took care of our dog like he was his own. This time it was for 9 days. I got updates and pictures/videos everyday. Pony is very well loved and spoiled when he's there!”
“Jocelyn was such a good fit for our dog, Collin. She's responded quickly to texts and sent photos of him and his new friends playing. Looking forward to having Collin be able to stay over again. Thank you Jocelyn!”
“I am very happy with Laura!! I was so nervous to leave Percy with anyone outside of family, especially being that he has severe anxiety but Percy loved Laura and her family. I feel content that we found a permanent sitter for our fur baby. :)”
“My bordoodle dog Chloe had a great time staying with Barbara and her two small dogs over the weekend. Barbara took great care of her and sent me pictures and/or videos of her every day. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
“Jessica is the best! She and her sweet pups were wonderful hosts for our two dogs. Jessica was thoughtful, prompt, and informative throughout their stay. We have a senior, so that was very much appreciated. Our boys seemed refreshed and happy when I picked them up, although maybe a little sad to leave!”
“My dog was well cared for. Christy quickly responded to messages. She gave flexible drop off and pick up times. I would recommend her services and will rebook in the future.”
“Sharon was amazing with our dog Sushi. We got frequent updates with pictures which put our mind at ease. When we picked up our dog, we could tell she was well taken care of and that she had a good time hanging out and playing in the yard with Sharon. Very friendly and communicative. We will absolutely book with her again in the future. Sushi was very happy with her and so were we.”
“We were really impressed with the experience we had with Kay. Our dogs were so well cared for and had such a good time. Kay had other dogs for our girls to play with, they took our dogs on walks (even with all the bad weather), and they had a dog door and a big back yard. Kay kept us updated with pictures so we could see what the dogs were doing. We will definitely be bring our dogs back to Kay when we travel!”
“Can not say enough wonderful things about Tracy and her family! She made me and Benny feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was kind and loving to Benny! Updated me with pictures and even recommended a new toy that he loved at her house! There was no doubt in my mind that she is a dog person and took the very best care of my little fur baby! Thanks, Tracy! You are the best!”

“Alexa makes it so easy for me to go out of town, knowing that my cats are in good hands! She does such a great job and always manages to send pictures of my cats, even though they're so skittish. Thank you for all you do, Alexa!”
“Emily is a dream catsitter. While I was dealing with a family emergency four states away, she took care of my cats like they were her own. She befriended my skittish cat Dani, and she gave proper attention to the master of the house, Bug. Every message from her was such a relief.”
“I was very satisfied with the level of care Siddha gave my kitty. She kept me informed of the physical aspects of his care and his level of sociability with her. I loved the pictures she sent. Siddha is a great cat sitter!”
About: I adopted my sweet girls Lizzy and Georgie a year and a half ago, and they have filled my life with love ever since. Adopting them as older kittens has allowed me “parent” them through different life stages, and I think it’s safe to say I know wayyy more about the various kinds of mischief they can get into now! A librarian by profession, I love researching cats and cat care, as I only want the best for my girls. I want the best for your kitties, too! I am passionate about helping keep kitty spaces up to their high standards of cleanliness for maximum comfort, and about creative, stimulating playtime for cats of all ages.
About: I grew up in Texas with 2 cats. One was older and less personable while the other was more comfortable around people. I have a dog now that I’ve had since he was 5 weeks old. I’ve also had two dogs growing up, one with diabetes and health needs. So I have experience with medication as well as vet visits. I am currently in grad school and work as a research assistant with my own self paced hours making my schedule more flexible. I am excited to meet new pets! I will keep your space clean and comfortable for your pets!
About: Growing up, animals weren’t just pets in our home — they were family. I’ve spent my whole life caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rats, snakes, lizards, pigs, and backyard birds like turkeys, chickens, ducks, and quail. My mom worked as a wildlife rehabilitator, so from a young age I helped nurse injured and orphaned wild animals back to health — including squirrels, rabbits, beavers, opossums, raccoons, and turtles. That experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive with animals of all temperaments and needs. Our family currently has two dogs and I have my own pet rats, so I’m an active, hands-on pet owner every single day. Sadly, I lost my own beloved dog last year, and that experience only deepened my understanding of just how much our pets mean to us. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk or a calm, caring sitter while you’re away, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. Your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands! 🐾 I’m currently a student so my schedule allows me to work on evenings, weekends and holidays. Once summer is here, I will be completely free! In Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any specific rules or preferences you have for your pet. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I make sure to give plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your fur baby is doing! Dog Walking Every dog is different, so I tailor each walk to your pup’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they love a brisk adventure or prefer a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, we’ll have a great time! I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always keep safety a top priority. After the walk, you’ll receive an update so you know your pup had a wonderful time.
“Cynthia was amazing with my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat was happy and comfortable when I got back, and it was clear Cynthia genuinely cared for him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Shannon did an exceptional job taking care/of and nurturing my two cats for 10 days. One of my cats is diabetic, and the other, once feral kitty, needs encouragement to stay visible instead of hiding and wants to eat in private. Shannon figured out ways to meet the needs of both and stayed in touch constantly. I really was relieved to have her spending nights with drop in visits during the day! I highly recommend her! (Lots of daily photo updates!)”
“Rachel was a life saver and did an amazing job checking in on our two cats while we were away! She was so great with communication and even though our cats are skittish she was so sweet and patient with them. We highly recommend her and would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 5 years and have experience with cats of all ages and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every cat like one of my own. I have my own cat, Bentley, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ve always had a huge soft spot for cats, especially strays. If I come across a stray that needs help, I’ll always stop to leave out food or water if I can. Caring for animals has always been something I’m truly passionate about. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, following special feeding routines, and caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to keep to themselves, I’ll be patient, respectful of their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Morgan is amazing! She made it so much easier to leave my kitty and go on a trip for the first time since getting him. She was so sweet to him and he loved making a new friend!”
“Blake was awesome! Such a nice human and was very responsive, responsible, punctual and reliable during his time with Scarlett. He had recurring visits with her for a week before moving away otherwise we would have continued care with him!”
“Zaina was great with my 2 little dogs. They loved her immediately. She was good to let me know how they were doing. She showed a lot of patience to the one who is losing vision and was able to calm him. So thankful! I would definitely use her again!”
“Ashleigh & Jacob were fabulous with my cat and gave her lots of attention! I was a little nervous about leaving her but shouldn’t have been because Smoki was obviously looking happy in the photos received through Rover. Smoki was very well taken care of. I’ll definitely book with them again!!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Appleby
“Chris was great! He took great care of my girl, she was happy to return the next day and had fun playing with Mosley. Would definitely use again when visiting Bentonville.”
“Tracy was great, took great care of Bracken, and sent updates throughout the day! She was nice enough to accept our request last minute. We will definitely bring Bracken back!”
“Lark is very responsive and seems to know her stuff. Our pup was very well taken care of and seems to really have enjoyed herself. It’s always tough leaving them but we feel confident Lark responds nda to each dogs needs and we are looking forward to using Lark again soon for boarding as she did a great job.”
About: Since a young age, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and have experience caring for puppies, adults, and seniors. I worked as a veterinary technician for one month (I had a change of heart in career paths!), so I’m confident in administering insulin shots and giving medications. (I also had a senior dog with diabetes that I administered shots to). I’ve walked dogs and dog-sat for several people before joining this app. With two dogs of my own, I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at the University of Arkansas - so besides a few hours of school every day, I am free to spend time with your pet! For pets in my clients home, I am available to stay as long as needed and will make sure there is plenty of water, food, playtime, and potty breaks provided!
About: I have a natural gift and tons of love in my heart for all animals, was raised on a goat farm had many different types of animals and pets. I have one 16year old fur babies of my own. She's my bestie. Also have a cat for 6 years she is also my bestie in her own kitty ways. 😁 I'm a positive thinker who has a huge heart for animals, I believe they are just angels here to protect and love us. I treat them all as such. I would prefer right now not to care take because I have a very small apartment with an older dog and a adult antisocial kitty.
About: Hi, fellow dog moms and dads! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover with two dogs of my own, and I’d love to welcome your pup into my home while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I work remotely, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will enjoy plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles throughout the day. I intentionally keep a limited number of boarding dogs so each guest receives individualized attention and care. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I may care for multiple dogs at once, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs simply need a quiet break. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing in a crate for short periods when needed. I also feed dogs separately to help prevent resource guarding and ensure everyone can eat safely and stress-free. Every dog is different, so I tailor enrichment to their personality and energy level, whether that’s fetch, puzzle toys, snuffle mats, frozen treats (with owner approval), or other engaging activities. I have experience caring for brachycephalic breeds (such as English Bulldogs and French Bulldogs) and understand the extra precautions they require regarding heat, breathing, and activity levels. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs, providing slower-paced walks, gentle routines, medication administration when needed, and the extra patience and monitoring they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’m Pet First Aid and CPR certified through the American Red Cross and keep fully stocked pet first aid kits both at home and in my vehicle. ✨ Optional Spa Add-Ons (Boarding Guests) * Bath (short-haired dogs) * Brushing * Teeth brushing * Ear cleaning * Paw balm treatment Just mention your interest when booking, and I’ll send over pricing and details! A few house rules to help every guest have a great stay: * 🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable around other dogs. * 🐾 Please disclose any history of separation anxiety, resource guarding, escape tendencies, or destructive behaviors so I can determine if my home is the right fit. * 🐾 Dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! ❤️ Pet care is already part of my everyday routine since I’m a dog owner myself. I work fully remote, so I’m used to planning my day around potty breaks, walks, feeding times, and check-ins. Because I’m home during the day, I can be responsive with midday drop-ins and walks and communicate quickly if anything comes up. I keep a consistent schedule and plan routes close by so I can be reliable and on time. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Drop-in visits (up to 40 minutes) are perfect for a midday check-in while you’re at work or away. During each visit, I’ll follow your routine and make sure your pup is comfortable and cared for: a potty break, fresh water, feeding if requested, and some playtime/affection. I’ll also do a quick check that doors/gates are secure before I leave. Dog walks (up to 30 minutes) are a dedicated, leash-only walk for exercise and enrichment. I’ll walk at your dog’s pace, allow time for sniff breaks, and prioritize safe leash handling the entire time. After the walk, I’ll make sure your dog is settled with fresh water and I’ll send photo updates and a recap (including potty info). Boarding your fur baby at my home is like summer camp for them! I have a huge fenced in back yard and work from home so I am home majority of the time. For the safety and comfort of all dogs in my care, I require boarding dogs to be crate trained. Since I often care for multiple dogs, I use crates as a safe management tool—not as punishment—during meals, when I leave the house, or if dogs need a break from one another. Dogs should be comfortable relaxing quietly in a crate for short periods when needed. This allows me to provide a calm, safe, and low-stress environment for every guest. My boarding program is a great fit for dogs who: • Are crate trained • Are house trained • Are friendly with other dogs • Can be left alone for a few hours without excessive barking or anxiety • Are up to date on vaccinations & neutered
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and family for the last few years. With working from home it makes it easy for me to help out when needed. I have house broken 4 puppies and 1 adult that was not house broke when we got him. I’ve had experience with dogs with anxiety, yeast prone and dogs that have allergies. I know how to give shots if needed. We’ve rescued dogs and rehabilitated who were abused and neglected that had severe anxiety and trust issues. He have a larger home with a good sized fenced in yard full of love and fun! Reach out with any questions! I work full time from home Monday thru Friday. I am home the majority of the days my home schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to care for pets anytime of the day. We have 2 dogs, one large one small. We have wood and tiles throughout the home in case of accidents. Our home is 2700 sqft with a decent sized fenced in yard perfect for play time. We have a large patio that we utilize often that is covered with a large fan and plenty of shade. We don’t usually let the pups outside without us being out there.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attentiveness, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” pets — I learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience with small and senior dogs, including my own 12-year-old mini poodle, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, medication routines, mobility support, and calming anxious pups. I understand that older dogs and shy pets need a slower pace, consistency, and lots of reassurance — and that’s exactly what I provide. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in calm, capable hands. Whether your dog is playful, timid, energetic, or just wants to nap next to someone kind, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. 🐾 I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, medication, and potty breaks on a consistent routine. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening care, I plan my time so your pet's needs always come first. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so I can provide calm, consistent care. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and double-check doors, gates, and leashes to keep everything secure. In my home, pets are treated like family in a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of structure, play, rest, and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel confident and connected while you're away.
About: I have grown up with pets galore and I am a huge lover of all animals. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies behind, but I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable until you return! I love to be outdoors, so if your dog enjoys hikes or swimming I would love to take them with me. My pup, Cricket, would also love a friend to play with! I work remote, so can be attentive and present to all needs during the day with potty and play breaks every 1-3 hours as needed I have a fenced in yard. Pets will be walked, fed/watered according to their schedule, and get lots of play and love during their time.
About: Hello, my name is colin I’m a college student/ marine veteran trying to earn a little extra money while I work my way through college. If you’re needing someone to walk or watch your dog while you’re at work or while you are out of town give me a call. I understand it can sometimes be hard to find a pet sitter and other times plans change so I try to be as flexible as possible with bookings and cancellations. I’ve had dogs my whole life, I currently have a Great Pyrenees/ Anatolian shepherd mix named bear. She is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I have a fenced back yard and there is a dog park right up the street that we visit frequently. Thank you for taking the time to read this, if you have any questions please feel free to send me a message! I am currently going to school online so I am home for the entirety of the visit. I may have to leave to get groceries/ go to an appointment however these errands typically last no more than 2 hours I have a fenced in yard on a cul-de-sac with a brand new gate secured by metal posts and 2 locks. I do not take the animals in my care in the car unless there is an emergency and we do not open the front door during our stays, we go out the garage to prevent any possible chance of an escape
About: I have experience in taking care of pets ever since I was 5 years old. I have the most experience with taking care of dogs with feeding, bathing, walking, and training. A pet is a family member and will be treated as such. I work from home every day and am able to freely care for your furry friend throughout the day and attend to their needs as needed. I have 3 kids who also love dogs. I am open all week and will make sure your pet is considered part of the family when taking care of them. I do not have a fenced-in yard but will walk your fur baby daily. We go out 3 times a day every day and have play time or stimulation such as lick mats daily.
About: I had my first dog when I was 8 and raised her from a puppy for 5 years. Also, I’ve been pet/dog (e.g. dogs, cat, reptiles, etc.) and house sitting for several years. I graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, and currently volunteer with the Fayetteville animal shelter. I’m currently working full-time M-F from 8am-5pm with a few breaks. More than willing to do whatever takes to ensure you and your pet are most comfortable. We have several parks nearby within a quaint neighborhood. I have a 2BR apartment, no pets, and tons of amenities available (dog park, walking trails, etc.).
“Where do I even begin! Luca had the BEST time with Barbara. I was on vacation and needed someone to help my husband with our puppy, and Barbara was incredible from the start. She responded quickly, and we even got to meet her and her dogs beforehand. Luca didn’t want to leave! hahaha! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby.”
About: I’ve been around animals since I was just learning how to walk, i’ve animal sat for my friends and family many times before and always update with photos when your fur baby and I are together 😊 I welcome all animals, big/small, low or high energy! I’ve been apart of the rover community for almost 2 years now and I’m really excited to meet new fur babies! I currently work full time but I work 5 minutes from home so it’s very easy to come and go for my animals and I always come home on my lunch break so dogs can be accommodated for! I have a fenced in yard, hardwood floors in case of accidents and 2 kennels, small/large if needed 😊 animals are welcome on my couch or bed, what’s mine is theirs 😊

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Appleby
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and providing extra patience and comfort. I also have experience with kittens and young animals, so I’m comfortable with energetic pets who need plenty of attention and playtime. As a biology student pursuing a career working with animals, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, so feeding, exercise, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring their well-being are second nature to me. Because I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, I can provide reliable care while maintaining the routines that help pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being, making sure pets are happy, healthy, and secure while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether caring for a pet in my client’s home or during drop-in visits, I treat every animal with the same patience, respect, and attention that I give my own pets.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my house. I have raised multiple dogs since they were puppies and I have taken care of elderly dogs on their last leg. I also had a cat at one time and have taken care of family’s cats and dogs I currently don’t have a job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am available on weekends and week days. I offer going to your house to take care of your pets. If your pet is skittish I will take my time with them so they will trust me.
About: I grew up in Texas with two dogs and two cats. And I’ve had my currently dog, Theo, since he was 5 weeks old. And I also have experience with an elderly dog with diabetes needs. I am in grad school as well as a research assistant. I make my own hours making my schedule flexible. I’m excited to meet new pets. I will keep your space clean and allow your pet the most comfortable experience I can I am in grad school and a research assistant. I have class MWF 9-10 am. Then TTh 11-12:15 &2-3:15. I create my own hours for research. So otherwise I am normally flexible on time! I love going on walks with dogs, time/distance depending on breed and age. Every dog is different but playtime and enrichment are very important in our home so I’ll do what I can to incorporate that in their lives as well! Same with cats, depending on comfortability!
“Emily was very nice and professional! She went out of her way to offer a phone call prior to our walk since it was our first time working together. She provided detailed updates and lots of pictures! Thank you Emily for loving on our girl the way we would :)”
About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.
About: My unique journey to NW Arkansas has provided me with strong foundational knowledge on animal welfare and safety, as well as an unparalleled perspective on pet wellbeing and happiness, ensuring both you and your fur-babies are satisfied with my service. ♥️😸 Relevent experience: - Pet owner for 15+ years (🐢,🐈⬛,🐈) - Kennel Attendent for 2 years - Veterinary Assistant for 1 year - Laboratory Researcher (using animal models) for 4 years - Keeper Aide (Small Mammal) at Smithsonian National Zoo for 2 years - Attended 1 year of Veterinary School (University of Pennsylvania 2018) - Previous Anatomy (laboratory dissections) and Ornithology (bird biology) instructor at UARK - Previous volunteer at Northsong Wild Bird Rehabilitation - Field Biologist and UARK Graduate Student for the past 6 years (Thesis on Eastern Bluebird ecology and wildlife conservation) Previously, I had successful stays with a variety of pets on Rover (big and small, young and old). While I am coming back to pet sitting with the app after several years of being inactive, I definitely look forward to starting anew and meeting new clients and their fur babies in NWA. With my veterinary background, I am comfortable administering medications and I would be happy to discuss any other exceptional and/or lingering requests you may have. Other than caring for my own pets and attending a lecture on Wednesday afternoons, I am free and flexible to care for your pets on your desired schedule. Depending on the client's home type, I will adjust each visit accordingly. With a fenced in yard, potty breaks will be a breeze and we may enjoy the spring weather with running around. Otherwise, I will quickly research a safe and reasonable walking path or find a local park to take your loved one(s). In the home, I assume the pet will have spots they find cozy and relaxing and I am more than happy/willing to 'go to them', giving them some love and attention in the areas they feel most comfortable.
About: I worked in veterinary medicine as a nurse and team lead for 10 years. I’m 31 years old. Animals are my passion and my life. I go above and beyond for all pets in my care and treat them as I do my own spoiled fur babies. I understand prescriptions, dietary needs, physical needs, and can provide the special care needed for your beloved pet. In my years of experience, I’ve seen just about everything. And can handle any situation or pet. My clients trust me with their pets for at home care, wether it be my house or there’s. From newborns to senior cats or dogs- I can handle it. My major goal is to make sure your pet is just as happy with me as they are with you. Now, being home full time- I am able to devote any and all time needed for pets. Frequent check ins or full time sitting is not a problem. My home is their home when staying with me. My goal is to have them feel no different while their owner is away. My yard is fenced, and no pet is outside without supervision.
About: I’ve grown up alongside dogs and other animals and helped take care of them since I was young. When I was sixteen, my family adopted our puppy Sal at eight weeks old, and it was my responsibility to take care of him, train him, and love on him. From there, I volunteered at Almost Home animal shelter in Van Buren for two years, where I walked dogs of all sizes and weights, played with them, fed and cared for them, and cleaned out their kennels and bowls. As of now, I’m living away from my family dog since I’m in college, but I’m helping a friend of mine walk and train her newly adopted Cane Corso (she’s a sweetie). I’ve watched dogs for friends and family all through the years, as well. As far as cats go, I’ve loved them since I was a kid, and I adopted one two years ago! His name is Walter, he’s a tabby and the sweetest boy alive, and I love taking care of him, even if he shreds my arms sometimes. Pets need love and patience, and that’s exactly what I have for them. :) I’m currently out of college classes for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I can work with any requests you send me, so long as we have ample time to discuss everything you’re looking for. I can easily adapt to your pet’s regular schedule, including mealtimes, bedtime, medication, if they need to be crated, playtimes, etc. The comfort and happiness of your pet is my first focus.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and have also taken care of friends, families, and neighbors dogs while they’re out of town! I will care for yours like they’re my own! I work part time and most of my classes are online so I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pet! I’m able to let your pets out, play fetch with them, walk them, and give them food and water and anything else you would like!
About: I am always the first to call when someone I know needs pet care! I have also worked in a veterinary hospital with dogs and cats. As of now, I have a very open schedule. I am willing to care overnight or just drop by for a quick walk. I am flexible! I live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I have one dog and cat of my own, and my dog is crate-trained. Both get along with all animals great! My dog is a border collie mix, and is not aggressive at all. My house is also is 2 minute walk to a park with a field and walking track!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have many references from happy clients and treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have a 70-pound American Pit Bull Terrier, a Corgi, and a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large and small dogs as well as feline friends. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and administering medications, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or extra patience and attention, I’m here to help. One of my favorite experiences was getting to bring a client’s dog to their wedding so they could be part of their special day. I love helping families create memories with their pets and am always happy to go the extra mile whenever I can! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and providing plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re back home. I’m a nanny, which means I make my own schedule and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m also a college student taking just six credit hours this semester, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I understand the importance of not overbooking myself, so I only accept bookings that allow me to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. If I’m not nannying, in class, or spending time with my own pets, you’ll probably find me visiting one of my furry clients! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs on walks, feeding, playing, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with lots of photos and messages, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and strive to make every visit as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. Mine have been raised being treated like little humans and I cant wait to treat yours the exact same. I have cared for special needs dogs, puppies, and seniors. I have a special place in my heart for animals, and absolutely understand the want for a sitter that will love on your babies as much as you do! I am currently available almost all day everyday, and most weekends. On the occasion that I have errands to run, I am more than happy to take your love bug with me if they don’t like to stay home alone! I have two fur babies for your pets to hangout with (if he/she does good with other dogs)!One is big, one is small, and they are both inside dogs! We take them outside to play ball through the day and on plenty of walks! I have a fenced yard and walking paths all through my neighborhood! My parents live close, and my dogs love them just as much, so if your pets prefer to be by themselves that’s totally doable!! I’m pretty flexible, so I can give them as much or as little exercise as needed! If you’d prefer me be at your home, that’s perfectly fine as well!
