Personalized care for your dog or cat - Barney
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Barney
“Scout was great! Very interactive with sending photos while we were away on our trip and our pup Layla got some much needed adventure while on the farm with Scout and her family too!”
“We had a great experience with Leisha & Elijah and family. It’s a little scary to take your fur baby to a new environment, but prompt communication eased our minds and hearts. Pictures that were sent to us daily showed that Paisley was treated like family and she was having fun. We will be calling them again when we need boarding.”
“Madison and Isaiaih did a great job sitting my dog . I enjoyed the videos and pictures they shared with me where I could see my dog happy and well taken care of . I will hire them again should I ever need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Our two dogs had a great time with Samantha and her family. They got plenty of attention and plenty of play time. Samantha will be our first choice from now on!!”
“While I would like to gate-keep this wonderful family and not share them, I must! They have kept my Mabel for about 6 weeks over the course of the 6 months I’ve had her. She LOVES them. She loves their dog. They may honestly be the sweetest family on earth. They give immediate updates with pictures, but they also understand if you can’t check in with them constantly. The first time they kept her, I accidentally left them with an issue with her. I was already headed to the airport so I was stuck. They handled it like she was their dog. I know they treat her so well . I just can’t say enough about this sweet family. I also had a 15 hr flight delay. When I let them know, they acted like it wasn’t 2 days before Christmas and I could come whenever I got home. (Even suggested that I rest first). Your pets will be in safe,loving hands with this family. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. ( ( I drive about 40 minutes each way to get her to them and I would drive 3 hours each way without hesitation!”
“Mandy was amazing in every way! Kind and patient and sent me lots of pictures! I was afraid my Quincee would not want to leave. Thank you, Mandy! We’ll visit you every chance we get.”
“Tressa was absolutely amazing and super sweet! We will definitely use her for anytime we need a dog sitter! She gave lots of updates and pictures and even gave our dog Jasper a bath!!”

“Alex was amazing with our dog and provider the best of care! Very capable, trustworthy, and caring! And she was very flexible to meet our needs. She also provided updates and pictures of our pet as we really missed him while we were away!”
About: What sets me apart is that I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention and care.

I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Dogs will have regular potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced backyard, and a comfortable indoor environment for rest and relaxation. I will do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and exercise.

“Alicia was super patient with our dogs when they decided to not be on their best behavior. She kept me updated on how they were doing during their long stay with her. They were well cared for!”
About: As a Vet Tech student, I provide expert care for dogs. My five-year-old mix, Stormy, and I love adventures and ensuring every pet feels safe, healthy, and happy. I offer full-time care every day. I prefer morning and evening sessions to keep dogs cool and safe from the heat, ensuring your pet stays active and comfortable. I live in a first-floor apartment with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a dedicated room to roam free and relax comfortably without any cages.
“Trinity is awesome. She kept us updated with pictures and comments every day. Our dog is very shy and sometimes has a hard time trusting people, but she adjusted very well and made herself at home fast. I highly recommend Trinity.”
“Rachael is absolutely amazing! They have such a cool set up in their backyard - it’s almost a mini-farm. She sent photos every morning and evening. The only negative is that I’m not sure Choco or Juno want to come home from her house! You will not find a better person to watch your dogs.”
“A week is a long time for our dog to be away from us, but knowing he is safe and well taken care of by Jackie makes it so much easier. Jackie is so great with dogs and I really appreciated the updates about our pooch while we are away. Thank you for going above and beyond! Much love from our Henry too!”

About: I treat every pet like family – taking the time to learn their routines and preferences. I am reliable and happy to update with photos and messages, and follow instructions to a T. I have experience with other animals and I am patient with all animals. I don’t mind going the extra mile to help. I am currently on summer break. I love animals and need an extra hobby right now. I am happy to accommodate the day and time that would work for you and your pet. I am easy to work with and happy to do what you need done. I look forward to being able to help with your babies!
“Such a great sitter! Communication was prompt and thorough and she went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and our house was secure during a cold snap. We will definitely hire her again the next time we need someone.”
“Danielle was great! She was amazing about sending pictures of my kitties and they seemed to really be happy with her. She was fabulous about playtime with my high energy kitten. Everything was tidy and taken care of upon my return as well.”
“Katie was patient and understanding as we worked through Rover's payment system SNAFUs. She communicated wonderfully and kept to all my requests in taking care of my three cats during their drop-in visits. Would most definitely recommend! :)”
“Ginny was amazing! We were really worried about leaving our animals to go abroad to visit family, but she made it easy. We have a multitude of animals including 4 cats, chickens and ducks. Ginny came over to meet them before we went, she sent us updates every visit and kept us informed of everything (with lots of pics). There was an issue with the coop water (an issue from a pipe freezing - nothing from her actions) and she disconnected it and made it safe, and did extra work due to the fact it broke. Our chickens and ducks had clean water everyday and a clean filled pond, and our cats were happy and well cared for the whole time. Most of our cats are very shy, and were clearly happy and comfortable when we returned. We didn't have a single worry with her looking after everyone, and we would definitely use her again!”
About: When I was a kid, my family had 5 cats, so I've spent a lot of time with them. Even though I no longer have any myself, I spend a lot of time with friends' and family's cats and know the basics of taking care of them. I love a reason so sit and cuddle with a cat for hours, or help them hunt their favorite mouse toys.
“Charsy did a wonderful job caring for our beloved cats while we were away on a family vacation. She sent tons of adorable updates and gave us info on what our cats were up to while we were on vacation. Charsy sent tons of fantastic pictures and I could tell the kitties were being loved while we were gone.”
“Renee is AWESOME! I have a couple of scaredy-cats for babies, one being especially more afraid of strangers than the other. By Renee’s second or third visit, that super scaredy-cat was sniffing up on Renee and giving her a chance. So when she says she’s an animal whisperer, she’s legit. Renee is very personable and very clear with her communication. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the future! Thank you Renee!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
About: I have volunteered at humane society and other pig rescues for 10 years. I have 3.5 acres where I have a family of 2 pigs, 2 large dogs, and 1 cat. My wife and I try to help in any situation that an animal needs rehabbed or rehomes. I'm also a registered nurse working in mental health so I'm very patient. I have had animals my entire life. I usually tend to fall in love with special needs or senior animals because they are the most likely to not get a shot at adoption. However I love all animals, hopefully taking care of yours will feed my desires to cont adding to my own pet family. I have a job that requires every Fri sat and sun night so I have open time so I'd love to fill that time caring for the needs of your animals. My wife worked for a vet clinic in Jonesboro for 5 yrs prior to becoming a registered nurse. My nursing job allows for a lot of extra free time to fill up, not being able to have children of my own. I'm excited to service animal lovers like myself. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard as well as a sunroom with heat and cooling with a doggy door. I have 2 older dogs that lazily reside here, and a 30x30 pen for my pigs when we can't be around to watch them, but everybody sleeps inside together. I'm loyal and take pride in all that I do so I can guarantee that I will be able to provide any and all needs your pet should require.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, we’ve always had 4 legged fluff balls included in my family. I currently have a boxer/catahoula mix whose name is Apollo but I call him derp, he’s the best thing since sliced bread. I’ve only been dog/house sitting for about 3ish years as my friends and even regulars at the bar I work at have asked me to sit for them. My parents also work at hounds hideaway that has a vet built in so if anything were to happen all it would take is a phone call and we’d be set! Rest assured, your baby is in good hands. My schedule is currently open to do drop ins anytime of the day and to house sit. I’m currently waiting on my new job to give me hours and I will keep this updated. My Apollo is 8 years old so he’s a lil bit of an old man and is typically pretty lazy, but I take him for lots of walks and spoil him with treats and luvins. I even tuck him in with a blanket every night.
About: Have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I am an Exotic cat & Sphynx cat lover, as well as all fur babies. I have Veterinary Assistant experience and have been dog, cat & house sitting for about 20+ years. I wholeheartedly believe our pet family members should be kept in their normal environment and on their normal routine as much as possible, when you have to be away for periods a time.
About: I've been a dog parent to over 6 dogs, have owned several cats, birds, & turtles. Love animals & I will love your pet like it is my own. Currently I'm a teacher but in the summer I'm free all the time. I treat this like a real job during the summer. Last year I did the same thing but without Rover. I will love & care for your fur babies just like my own doggo Ryder. Can't wait to meet, great, & take care of your babies.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve taken care of puppies all the way up to elderly dogs! I love all the animals! I am available all throughout the week! I am not free on weekends but other than that I would love to babysit your fur babies! I have a fenced in back yard with the sweetest fur baby you’ll ever meet. He gets fed twice a day and always has water available

Perfect for high energy dogs - Barney

“Cailey is great, my husky puppy goes to her during the week while I’m at work and I am very happy with the care she has given! Daily pictures, willing to work on continued puppy training while she’s there, and gives me the peace of mind knowing my girl is safe while I’m away all day.”

About: I've been a pet owner for 16 years, and I will treat your pup as I would my own - with lots of cuddles, treats and playtime.. I am patient and am able to work with your dog to make him or her feel comfortable. I love to work with seniors. I have had two geriatric dogs in the past and am familiar with the care for these more fragile pups. I work from home most days, but I am limited on time to drop-in. I can drop in before 8, at lunch, and/or after work to accommodate your needs. Ability to drop in before 5 are dependent on locations close to where I live. For boarding or drop-in visits to my home: I have a fully enclosed privacy fence and spacious back yard. I can crate as you wish - I have crates medium and large dogs, and you are welcome to bring your own kennel or beds. For Pet/housesitting services: The goal with pet care at a client's home is to maintain routine and consistency to ease any anxiety or confusion pets may feel without their fur-parents. Outside and play time are absolutes.
About: Hi, I’ve had pets my entire life. I’ve had different breeds of dogs and birds small to big, hamsters, fish, and a hedgehog. I don’t remember a time without one, but we mostly had dogs. My pets have always been treated likes babies, they are family members too! I love to cuddle and spoil any animals. I have a decent sized fenced in area. Covered porches, front and back that have gates so they can explore and play when they want outside time without the worry of them wondering off. Where my house is located we don’t have to worry about traffic when we go for walks and exploring. For rainy days, I have indoor space great for play, treats/bones, toys, dog beds and more. Large house with large windows that they can look out and roam about. My dogs roam freely but if you prefer kennels we will accept your pets indoor kennel for use as you see fit. Your dog may lay or sleep where it’s most comfortable. We have toys and water bowls (but they recognize their own better) and dog beds for your pets fun and comfort. You must supply their own food. If they have a favorite toy or blanket they lay with feel free to bring them also! I’m a stay at home mom and have a passion for animals and thought this would be a great fit. I believe in compassionate loving care and lots of fun with our furry buddies. I also understand that sometimes the best thing for our animals is a strict schedule so whatever their need, I can provide a wonderful home away from home. I would like your fur baby to come and meet before a weekend or an overnight stay so they can be comfortable with their new surroundings. •Most Important is to have Proof of current vaccinations present for meet and greet, •I also prefer them to have the Bordetella vaccine •All pets must be on flea and tic prevention. •All pets must be house broken, there are exceptions. **PLEASE** Take the time to add a picture of your furry baby and fill out important details to your profile. That not only helps me but other sitters as well.

“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Charsy is such a nice and sweet person. Our dog looked so happy after the walks. She always kept me updated and made the experience to be a 10/10. She treated our dog so good and with a lot of kindness.”

About: I have over a decade of real, hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life—from whelping tiny puppies to supporting seniors in their final days. I know how to handle energetic pups who need adventure, and I know how to comfort older dogs who just want warmth, patience, and gentle snuggles. I’ve even helped families create the “best last day” for their senior dog before euthanasia, and it reminded me how deeply I care about honoring every dog’s needs—big or small, young or old. When your dog is with me, they get a sitter who truly shows up for them. I communicate constantly with pet parents, send plenty of photos and updates, and make sure you always know how your pup is doing. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and experienced enough to handle the joyful moments and the delicate ones—I’m that person. Your dog will be loved like my own. Pet care is part of my everyday life. My schedule gives me flexibility, so I plan my days around check-ins, walks, cuddle time, and staying connected with pet parents. I’m used to routine, and I make sure each pet gets exactly what they need—whether that’s exercise, medications, or just someone who’s present and attentive. When I care for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—feeding, walks, medications, litter box care, enrichment, and any quirks your pet may have. I keep things clean, tidy, and safe, and I make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and understood. I also provide frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is that you come home to a happy pet and a home exactly the way you left it.

I'm currently available for pet care services throughout the day. I am available 7 am - 3:30 pm Monday - Thursday, 9 am - 10 pm Friday - Sunday. I will not be providing boarding services in my home but I am able to visit your home as much as necessary to take care of your pets, including in home visits. I have 3 kids and a husband who may assist in the visits but will never be the primary care giver to the animals. My kids have taken after me and love helping and meeting new animals. If you would not like the extra help please let me know and I will not bring them.
About: Throughout my life, my family has owned 4 dogs, and many of my friends own dogs that I spend a lot of time with. I currently have two dogs, as well as a few bonus neighborhood dogs, that I love both playing and relaxing with. I often am responsible for feeding, letting out, and cleaning up after my family dogs. I am a recent college graduate with no set job or schedule yet, so I'm very flexible! Presently, most of my work is gig work, so it is very easy for me to run by your house on my way to or from those gigs. I aim to give your pet as much of a sense of normalcy as I can! Whether they like to wrestle outside or sit together in silence, I want to give them whatever they need in the moment. I like to leave a space how I found it, so if they need any feeding or make any messes, I will clean up being myself or them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
About: I have strong experience caring for animals through both professional and personal roles. I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, and ensuring the comfort and safety of multiple animals each day. This role taught me how to handle pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs with patience and confidence. In addition to my kennel experience, I have also provided pet-sitting services for people’s animals. Through dog sitting and general pet care, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines such as walking, feeding, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need while their owners are away. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and dependable care, making me confident in my ability to look after pets in a safe, attentive, and compassionate way. 💋🐶 I help care for the pet mini pigs we have and i have watched over dogs and i have a pet gecko i love. ❤️ I help take care of the animal as instructed off a list so i know to care for them correctly and bond with the baby.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for years, and I have two of my own—so I get it. I’m super dependable, really patient, and honestly just love being around animals. I care about doing things right and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. Right now I don’t have much going on, so I’m super flexible and can fit pet care in pretty much anytime. I’m taking a class, but I can work that around whatever schedule is needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, just being honest, but my dogs are super friendly and love other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed or keep them separate—we have a whole downstairs area I can stay in with them if that’s more comfortable. I’m also happy to take them on walks as often as needed to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.
About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.
About: I have volunteered at humane society and other pig rescues for 10 years. I have 3.5 acres where I have a family of 2 pigs, 2 large dogs, and 1 cat. My wife and I try to help in any situation that an animal needs rehabbed or rehomes. I'm also a registered nurse working in mental health so I'm very patient. I have had animals my entire life. I usually tend to fall in love with special needs or senior animals because they are the most likely to not get a shot at adoption. However I love all animals, hopefully taking care of yours will feed my desires to cont adding to my own pet family. I have a job that requires every Fri sat and sun night so I have open time so I'd love to fill that time caring for the needs of your animals. My wife worked for a vet clinic in Jonesboro for 5 yrs prior to becoming a registered nurse. My nursing job allows for a lot of extra free time to fill up, not being able to have children of my own. I'm excited to service animal lovers like myself. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard as well as a sunroom with heat and cooling with a doggy door. I have 2 older dogs that lazily reside here, and a 30x30 pen for my pigs when we can't be around to watch them, but everybody sleeps inside together. I'm loyal and take pride in all that I do so I can guarantee that I will be able to provide any and all needs your pet should require.
About: I am doing school online at the moment and work for the state. I am in a family of four I have my mom, dad, and my special needs brother I help out a lot with. I have five dogs that I call my fur babies, and one cat that I might as well call a dog. I call her a dog just because she eats dog food lol. I have dog sat for many people and they recommend me to many others. I am applying to be a dog sitter on the side to make some extra cash too be able to help pay for my college classes. Any given chance that I can work with dogs and be able to take my energy out on them with playing im all for it! They can leave me a letter of what they would want me to do specifically. I have taken care of dogs by the notes that they have left me for quite sometime now.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for parents & friends since I was young. As a personal trainer I love being active and why not help other pet owners out with care and getting their pet some of the physical activity they need. My dog can only take so many walks 😂. I am currently working a full-time a fitness director at a local university but am available during the morning hours before work and evenings after work. Available for entire weekends and can stay over the weekends. I will follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet, but can provide, walks, baths and playtime or just chill time and company if that’s what your pet prefers. Just like humans pets have their own personalities. 😁
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, we’ve always had 4 legged fluff balls included in my family. I currently have a boxer/catahoula mix whose name is Apollo but I call him derp, he’s the best thing since sliced bread. I’ve only been dog/house sitting for about 3ish years as my friends and even regulars at the bar I work at have asked me to sit for them. My parents also work at hounds hideaway that has a vet built in so if anything were to happen all it would take is a phone call and we’d be set! Rest assured, your baby is in good hands. My schedule is currently open to do drop ins anytime of the day and to house sit. I’m currently waiting on my new job to give me hours and I will keep this updated. My Apollo is 8 years old so he’s a lil bit of an old man and is typically pretty lazy, but I take him for lots of walks and spoil him with treats and luvins. I even tuck him in with a blanket every night.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years! I truly believe that dogs weren’t sent on this earth to be our little angels. I would give your little furry friend all the loves he or she could handle while you’re gone away at work or even vacation! ❤️ I’m currently part time at my job and I was looking to make some extra money while I’m not in school. What better way to do that than to spend it with your fur babies!? I’m pretty flexible. Just send me a message and we will work something out! ☺️ I can not bring any dogs over to my house, unfortunately because I have five dogs. Not sure how they would feel about me bringing over your furry friend. I would be more than happy to come over to your house and let them out, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they were fed and had water. When it was time for me to go, I will provide kisses and hugs to your lil pup. Free of charge! 😊
About: I am very passionate about animals and I absolutely love dogs and cats. I have grown up around dogs all my life, and I got my first dog at 16. I have been taking care of my fur baby Max ever since. I understand that being away can be tough on both pets and their owners, but my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you and your pets. Before pet sitting on Rover, I worked with children of all ages at a daycare. I am currently a medical scribe and full time college student. My services include checking on pets at your home and walking while on their stay. While you are away, I will send you daily updates and pictures of your fur babies to give you peace of mind.I usually care for animals in the comfort of their own home, and I make it a priority to gather all the necessary information to ensure that your pet experiences minimal disruption to their routine. I am currently a college student and scribe. I will typically be free after 11 am on most day during the week. I will be free on most weekends after 9 am. Before booking, I like to get a good understanding of your dog's behavior. Please let me know if your pet has any aggression (toward food, toys, etc.), unique quirks, or separation anxiety that makes it difficult for them to be left alone. It's also important to understand how your dog reacts to other dogs, in case of any unexpected encounters during walks. I’d love to meet your dog while you're present to gather as many details as possible about their daily routine. This helps me ensure minimal disruption while you're away. I will treat your pet like my own and I prefer written instructions to maintain their regular schedule. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in good hands. If your pet has any special needs or behaviors, please let me know. For example, if they have an anxiety jacket for thunderstorms, please share where I can find it, along with any other items I might need to care for them properly.

“Scout was great! Very interactive with sending photos while we were away on our trip and our pup Layla got some much needed adventure while on the farm with Scout and her family too!”
“We had a great experience with Leisha & Elijah and family. It’s a little scary to take your fur baby to a new environment, but prompt communication eased our minds and hearts. Pictures that were sent to us daily showed that Paisley was treated like family and she was having fun. We will be calling them again when we need boarding.”
“Our two dogs had a great time with Samantha and her family. They got plenty of attention and plenty of play time. Samantha will be our first choice from now on!!”
“While I would like to gate-keep this wonderful family and not share them, I must! They have kept my Mabel for about 6 weeks over the course of the 6 months I’ve had her. She LOVES them. She loves their dog. They may honestly be the sweetest family on earth. They give immediate updates with pictures, but they also understand if you can’t check in with them constantly. The first time they kept her, I accidentally left them with an issue with her. I was already headed to the airport so I was stuck. They handled it like she was their dog. I know they treat her so well . I just can’t say enough about this sweet family. I also had a 15 hr flight delay. When I let them know, they acted like it wasn’t 2 days before Christmas and I could come whenever I got home. (Even suggested that I rest first). Your pets will be in safe,loving hands with this family. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. ( ( I drive about 40 minutes each way to get her to them and I would drive 3 hours each way without hesitation!”
“Mandy was amazing in every way! Kind and patient and sent me lots of pictures! I was afraid my Quincee would not want to leave. Thank you, Mandy! We’ll visit you every chance we get.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, giving me years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I am comfortable providing basic first aid care when needed and always make your pet’s safety and comfort a top priority.

Available drop off and pickup times (Beginning August 3rd): Saturday, Sunday, and Monday: Anytime Tuesday-Friday: 5:00 am-6:30 am and 3:15 pm- 10:00 pm My husband and I are both teachers, so our schedules allow us to be home by 3:15 p.m. each weekday. During the school day, my husband also comes home on his lunch break to provide potty breaks, exercise, and extra attention for the dogs in our care. As pet parents to three dogs and two cats, we understand that pets are family. We provide every animal with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own, making their health, safety, and happiness our highest priorities. When your pet is staying with us you can trust they’ll be treated like one of our own. I can work to your needs, if your dogs are crate trained I’m happy to crate them at night or when I briefly leave the house, if they are more comfortable sleeping close by I can do that too!

“Alex was amazing with our dog and provider the best of care! Very capable, trustworthy, and caring! And she was very flexible to meet our needs. She also provided updates and pictures of our pet as we really missed him while we were away!”
“Alicia was super patient with our dogs when they decided to not be on their best behavior. She kept me updated on how they were doing during their long stay with her. They were well cared for!”
About: As a Vet Tech student, I provide expert care for dogs. My five-year-old mix, Stormy, and I love adventures and ensuring every pet feels safe, healthy, and happy. I offer full-time care every day. I prefer morning and evening sessions to keep dogs cool and safe from the heat, ensuring your pet stays active and comfortable. I live in a first-floor apartment with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a dedicated room to roam free and relax comfortably without any cages.
“Rachael is absolutely amazing! They have such a cool set up in their backyard - it’s almost a mini-farm. She sent photos every morning and evening. The only negative is that I’m not sure Choco or Juno want to come home from her house! You will not find a better person to watch your dogs.”
“A week is a long time for our dog to be away from us, but knowing he is safe and well taken care of by Jackie makes it so much easier. Jackie is so great with dogs and I really appreciated the updates about our pooch while we are away. Thank you for going above and beyond! Much love from our Henry too!”
“William was excellent with Buster and Felicia. We had a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything is in order. He was very responsive and I felt safe leaving my two dogs with him.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was a wildlife rehabilitator for Arkansas Game and Fish, so I learned early on how to nurse injured and sick animals back to health with patience and compassion. From bottle feeding baby animals to helping with their recovery, I developed a deep respect for all creatures. In 2020, I began working with my stepmom at a petting zoo, where I had the amazing opportunity to train under a veterinarian. There, I learned how to administer medication, care for injuries, and provide emergency treatments like fluids and splints. This hands on experience gave me confidence and knowledge to handle all kinds of situations. I also worked at a busy doggy daycare, caring for up to 40 dogs daily and providing overnight care for boarders. Managing so many furry friends taught me how to stay calm, organized, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. It also led me to truly be able to read body language and when to insert myself to prevent any unwanted interactions. I love creating a fun, safe environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. Now I am a personal protection/working dog trainer in training! It has taught me so much about how a dog’s brain works and how to best attack any situation with confidence! Overall, my experience combines a lifelong love of animals with professional training and real world skills; so I can promise that your pet will be in great hands! Right now, I am almost fully available for pet care! I work M-F 8:30-3:30, but your pet will get my full attention while I am with them! Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or last minute needs, I've got the time and energy to give them all of the love, play, and care they deserve! When I am caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely; whether that means feeding schedules, walks, meds, cuddles, or quiet time. I'm super respectful of your space and I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away!
