“Was nervous about leaving my babies for the first time and Scout put me at ease. She showed me around a bit. We went over everything with my boys. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. It is much nicer than dog jail and I think they had fun.”
“The best dog sitters and people for the job. They took such good care of my sweet Oliver and gave me updates. I appreciate it beyond words. The best of the best!!! Literally!”
“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and single mom of two who has always had pets as part of my family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and am comfortable with other animals as well. I provide house and pet sitting during the times my kids are with their dad, which allows me to fully focus on your pets and your home. I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekends and major holidays, and I understand the importance of routines, clear communication, and responsibility. I take pride in keeping homes clean and organized—and I always try to leave things better than I found them. Your pets will be cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love, just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time teacher and work weekdays from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m home and able to devote my time and attention to your pets. I attend church on Sundays and Wednesday evenings, but otherwise keep a predictable, low-key schedule. When I accept a booking, your pets become a priority in my daily routine. I’m intentional about planning my time around their needs—whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. Since I don’t currently have a fenced yard, this also allows me to safely meet each pet’s individual needs without disrupting their environment. I follow the pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and bedtime routines. I’ve found that consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces stress while their owners are away. I take time to help each animal feel calm and at ease—whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. My goal is always to provide care that feels familiar, loving, and dependable, so your pet stays happy and comfortable in your absence.
“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”
“Cayley was so good with our baby! She left daily messages and pictures which gave us piece of mind that she was well taking care of! Will definitely have Cailey watch our pup again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes since I was twelve years old. I have a dog of my own who is my best friend and I understand the feeling of leaving them in another person’s care. I will treat your dog with the love and friendliness as I do my own. Weekends are the best for me to take care of your animal, as I have a full time job. I am free in the morning until 6:30 and in the evenings starting at 5:30 I have a 6yo hound mix who is the friendliest boy to all animals. He would love to keep your dog company. I have a safe area outside to walk the dogs on a leash as well as a fenced in back yard for some fun!
About: All of my life I have worked with pets and livestock, big and small. From my first dog Samson the Dachshund to Lilly the Horse and now my four fur babies I have with my husband. We have had great days playing, cuddling, bathing and so much more. And some stressful nights through thunderstorms and sickness. I love all of my many pets and I can't wait to meet yours! I am almost always available and happy to set up a routine! I am also willing to work most Holidays. I keep my schedule updated weekly. Before I take care of any pet I do have a list of questions to ask. So that I know the level of care and what you would like for me to do in case of emergencies. Everyone has a different routine and I would like to maintain that for your pet while I am are looking after them.
“Tonisha did a Wonderful job keeping my pups. I was nervous leaving them with a stranger because they are only 7.5 mos but they felt comfortable and loved. She took them for walks and to the park daily to socialize them with other dogs. She also gave them a bathe before they returned home. She sent me pics and videos daily. I highly recommend her services. I will Always request to book her when I need to go out of town!”
About: Hello! Aside from being around animals my entire life, I also worked at an animal hospital, Hillcrest Animal Hospital in Little Rock, AR for several years. I started as a front desk receptionist, and slowly began training as a Vet Tech; where I also began doing lab work and sending test of for our specialized cases. I work very well with puppies and kittens, keeping them entertained and cared for. I also have a very strong passion for our bully breeds that are often given a bad image. I'm currently in the process of joining our United States Navy. I am waiting to ship to Recruit Training Camp, so my schedule is quite open. I go to the gym regularly, no kids of my own other than my dog-son. I don't have any other obligations outside of taking care of my own dog right now; so I'm fully free to take care of your fur babies and give them my undivided attention. I have a fenced in 30x30 foot backyard, and two well-mannered dogs of my own to give your fur baby or babies company in staying active and a fun-time. I have a very nice neighborhood, that includes many of my neighbors that walk their own dogs frequently. Plenty of roads and space for us to walk if they're here with me at my home. When it comes to caring for your pet in your own home, sitting or dropping by, I'm following whatever schedule they're accustomed to, so they don't get away from it while you're away.
“Extremely pleased with Vanessa. Great communication and took great care of my dog who turned out to be more high maintenance than she was probably expecting (me as welll). She will definately be my first choice for future dog watching needs.”

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.
“Raven was great! We needed someone to watch our three dogs while we were away for a week and she took care of them and kept in contact with us. We would totally recommend Raven if you need someone to take care of your animals!”
About: 🐾 16 Years of Paws, Purrs, and Play! 🐾 It’s official: my heart is now perfectly balanced! ⚖️ For those who know me, you know my life has been shaped by the dogs I’ve raised and loved for 16 years. But today marks a special milestone—I have now officially spent the exact same amount of time, 16 years, caring for cats! 🐱🐶 Whether it’s a wagging tail at the front door or a soft purr on my lap, my home (and my clothes, let’s be real) has been covered in fur for nearly two decades. People often ask if I’m a "dog person" or a "cat person," but the truth is simple: I’m an animal person, through and through. There’s something so rewarding about the different bonds they offer: * Dogs: Teach me about loyalty, boundless energy, and the joy of a long walk. * Cats: Teach me about patience, boundaries, and the art of the perfect afternoon nap.

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.
