“I learned that my Kemet experienced an extreme fit of separation anxiety and damaged a door knob during his boarding and I am so grateful that he had someone as caring and understanding as Brittney. She was so kind and even said she would keep him again in the future. Kemet was definitely ready to go because of his separation anxiety yet I am thankful for her hospitality and kindness.”
“Ashlyn was the BEST! My mother was unexpectedly put in the hospital in Jonesboro and living in Chicago, I had to scramble to find someone to care for her dog, Olive. Ashlyn went above and beyond to get Olive and sent updates and pictures along the way. She put my mind at ease and was just the sweetest! I’d recommend her 100% and will be booking her again.”
About: As a kid, I helped care for our family cats and learned early what it means to be responsible for animals. In high school and college, I started overnight dog sitting for my aunt, which helped me build confidence and consistency in caring for pets in someone else’s home. As an adult, I’ve continued pet sitting for three main families, becoming someone they regularly rely on for trustworthy, attentive care. I’m calm, dependable, and comfortable with routine care, overnight stays, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I already spend a lot of my day being active with my own dog—we typically go on 2–3 mile walks daily, which I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and keeping pets engaged and exercised, but I’m just as happy providing calm, relaxed care for pets who prefer a slower pace or more cuddles and downtime. My routine naturally revolves around making sure animals feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. We have a large, secure, privacy-fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside, and our neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure pets are comfortable and stress-free in my care. I’m also very happy to care for pets in their own home—whether that’s letting dogs out for potty breaks, going on walks in their favorite areas, feeding meals and treats, or spending time giving cats attention and cuddles. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.
“Harlee was absolutely amazing! We came down for a wedding with our dog and was nervous about finding someone to watch him for a few hours we were gone, but we were very happy in our decision with her! She sent us updates with pictures and was always very good about communicating with us. She was also extra amazing with getting us in last minute. If we ever come back into town, we will definitely use her. THANK YOU!”
“Sean was amazing with Harley! He communicated/gave me updates the whole time he had Harley and sent pictures. He took great care of him and made sure he got his daily walks and exercise. I will deff keep Sean as my primary dog sitter now!”
About: I've had dogs by my side for as long as I can remember, and they’re truly a part of my family. The lifelong experience has taught me how to understand their needs and personalities. I’m passionate about giving them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your dogs feel happy and well-cared for while you’re away! I attend classes at A-State part-time and work part-time, I’ve never gone for more than four consecutive hours and spend at least 50% of my time at home. I dedicate a lot of time to giving my fur babies attention and I will do the same for yours. Day-to-day routines while boarding would depend on your animals habits and routines! My apartment complex has a fenced in doggy park with unlimited access and lots of space for walks! Inside, there's plenty of room for lounging, with cozy spots for napping and a variety of toys to keep them entertained. The environment is pet-friendly and designed to provide a calm, loving atmosphere where your pets can feel at home and enjoy their time with me! I also provide attentive care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away.
“Johanne was fantastic! Once we saw she was taking care of her beautiful granddaughter we knew we would be in good hands. Johanne’s small 5lb dog “Bean” was the perfect dog to compliment Suki. They played inside and outside and had a great time. Extremely friendly and accommodating people and we will certainly be using her again in the future.”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. My background includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I’m comfortable with senior pets, energetic puppies, and everything in between. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe while giving owners peace of mind. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available Friday evenings through Sunday evenings, and also some weekdays (typically late afternoons or evenings) depending on my class schedule. When caring for pets in your home, create a safe, cozy area with their bed, toys, and fresh water. Follow the owner’s feeding schedule and give plenty of playtime or walks as needed. Keep food and water bowls clean, or pick up waste promptly, and maintain their usual routine for comfort. Always have the owner’s vet contact handy and offer lots of love and attention so the pet feels secure while away from their family.
“Jack & Josie had such a great time with Bobby and his 3 Frenchie Friends!! Bobby was super accommodating and sent multiple pictures while we were gone and kept us updated the whole time! We will definitely be contacting him again when Jack & Josie aren't able to go out of town with us!!”

About: Growing up, I always had cats in my home—typically 2–3 at a time—so I’ve been caring for them since childhood. I learned early how to feed, clean, play with, and understand different cat personalities, from independent to very social. I now have 2 cats of my own, and I continue to really enjoy caring for them day to day. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable with routines like feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, giving attention and playtime, and making sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their environment.
“I just can’t say enough good things about Caitlan. Our cat, who is very shy and standoffish, warmed up to her immediately. She took care of him for two weeks and she sent detailed updates every day on time. Not only she took care of food and water, but she also played with him every day. You won’t find a better sitter!”
About: I didn’t have any cats growing up because of my dad’s allergies to them. But we had neighbors who had 3-4 cats; and they would ask or rely on me to check in on them while they were out on vacation. My fiancé and I’s cat (Nacho) in the photo is the first cat I have owned and he is the sweetest boy. We actually adopted him from the Jonesboro Humane Society 🩵
“Thank you Morgan for looking after our kitty Eli while we were gone. He enjoyed your visits and looks like he jumped in your lap several times to be petted. I have never seen him do that! Ha!! He was very happy to see you! Thanks for a great and comforting experience so that we are able to travel and leave our little furry guy in your care. And our home!”

About: Since I was a young girl, I was that dependable kid who watched your pets when you were out of town. I would be in high demand every summer because I loved taking care of animals. I have volunteered as much as I could, including photographing the animals at the Blytheville Humane society along with fostering. I would want to give my clients that peace of mind knowing their animals are in good hands. I own my own business and also am a contractor so I work from home and have a flexible schedule that would be easy to work around. I prefer to care for my clients pets in their own environment and routines so when their owners have to leave, the disruption is as minimal as possible.
“Morgan came over to walk our 2 dogs, Dexter and Jackson. She was great with them though they are not the easiest dogs to walk. She was patient and took them on a long walk. Few days later, Morgan and her husband, Kenzie, watched the boys for a week while we were out of town. They took such good care of the dogs and the house. Morgan and Kenzie are caring, easy to work with, profession, and obvious dog lovers.”
About: I work at a veterinary clinic as a kennel assistant, we deal with all types of dogs from puppies to seniors. So, with working at a veterinary clinic i have gained the knowledge of caring for a dog and what situations may arise and how to handle them.

When i have work, i have a 2 hour lunch break and i work until 6 pm every single day. So, i have time to drop by twice a day and even spend the night. I have a fenced yard and we typically let them run as we please. However, I have an older dog and she needs walked twice a day. So, I could walk them a few times a day if necessary or just let them out if needed as well.

I became highly involved in my local community animal shelters helping out with the caring and getting them ready and some training for adoption. I am not a certified trainer but I have years of personal experience. I am looking forward to taking care of your babies as well as my own. I do work outside of the home at a couple jobs both are part time and my partner helps rotations when I'm home and gone. I like sticking to routines. I spend all of my free time giving lovins and making sure there is play time. Animals separated from their owners need to know they are not alone.

“I learned that my Kemet experienced an extreme fit of separation anxiety and damaged a door knob during his boarding and I am so grateful that he had someone as caring and understanding as Brittney. She was so kind and even said she would keep him again in the future. Kemet was definitely ready to go because of his separation anxiety yet I am thankful for her hospitality and kindness.”
About: As a kid, I helped care for our family cats and learned early what it means to be responsible for animals. In high school and college, I started overnight dog sitting for my aunt, which helped me build confidence and consistency in caring for pets in someone else’s home. As an adult, I’ve continued pet sitting for three main families, becoming someone they regularly rely on for trustworthy, attentive care. I’m calm, dependable, and comfortable with routine care, overnight stays, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I already spend a lot of my day being active with my own dog—we typically go on 2–3 mile walks daily, which I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and keeping pets engaged and exercised, but I’m just as happy providing calm, relaxed care for pets who prefer a slower pace or more cuddles and downtime. My routine naturally revolves around making sure animals feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. We have a large, secure, privacy-fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside, and our neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure pets are comfortable and stress-free in my care. I’m also very happy to care for pets in their own home—whether that’s letting dogs out for potty breaks, going on walks in their favorite areas, feeding meals and treats, or spending time giving cats attention and cuddles. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.
“Harlee was absolutely amazing! We came down for a wedding with our dog and was nervous about finding someone to watch him for a few hours we were gone, but we were very happy in our decision with her! She sent us updates with pictures and was always very good about communicating with us. She was also extra amazing with getting us in last minute. If we ever come back into town, we will definitely use her. THANK YOU!”
“Sean was amazing with Harley! He communicated/gave me updates the whole time he had Harley and sent pictures. He took great care of him and made sure he got his daily walks and exercise. I will deff keep Sean as my primary dog sitter now!”
About: I've had dogs by my side for as long as I can remember, and they’re truly a part of my family. The lifelong experience has taught me how to understand their needs and personalities. I’m passionate about giving them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your dogs feel happy and well-cared for while you’re away! I attend classes at A-State part-time and work part-time, I’ve never gone for more than four consecutive hours and spend at least 50% of my time at home. I dedicate a lot of time to giving my fur babies attention and I will do the same for yours. Day-to-day routines while boarding would depend on your animals habits and routines! My apartment complex has a fenced in doggy park with unlimited access and lots of space for walks! Inside, there's plenty of room for lounging, with cozy spots for napping and a variety of toys to keep them entertained. The environment is pet-friendly and designed to provide a calm, loving atmosphere where your pets can feel at home and enjoy their time with me! I also provide attentive care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. My background includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I’m comfortable with senior pets, energetic puppies, and everything in between. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe while giving owners peace of mind. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available Friday evenings through Sunday evenings, and also some weekdays (typically late afternoons or evenings) depending on my class schedule. When caring for pets in your home, create a safe, cozy area with their bed, toys, and fresh water. Follow the owner’s feeding schedule and give plenty of playtime or walks as needed. Keep food and water bowls clean, or pick up waste promptly, and maintain their usual routine for comfort. Always have the owner’s vet contact handy and offer lots of love and attention so the pet feels secure while away from their family.
“Jack & Josie had such a great time with Bobby and his 3 Frenchie Friends!! Bobby was super accommodating and sent multiple pictures while we were gone and kept us updated the whole time! We will definitely be contacting him again when Jack & Josie aren't able to go out of town with us!!”
