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.

I have experience with pups of all ages, including senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable helping with medications, mobility support, and the slow, gentle care older dogs deserve. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or in their golden years, I’m committed to keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away! I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m available most afternoons and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule to keep things stress free. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. I follow your pet’s usual routines, keep a close eye on doors and surroundings, and make sure they have a secure space. Whether I’m in your home or mine, pets get careful supervision, consistency, and plenty of attention.

“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!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Old Hickory
About: From a young age I have always loved caring for pets. I started my own pet sitting business at age 10, and have been working with animals my whole life. My most recent position with pets was at a doggie daycare where I helped to monitor groups of 10-15 dogs at a time and loved every second of it. Through this experience I not only learned how to manage their behavior, but also how to keep them engaged and get their wiggles out. Dogs have always been part of my family and I know how hard it can be to leave your precious pup with someone you haven't met before. I will not only work to help get your dogs exercised, but also work hard to help them learn and have fun along the way.
About: I have had animals of all kinds most of my life and have walked neighborhood dogs since I was a child. I love animals and your pet will be given individual attention. My family has always had and cared for many types of animals large and small. I have a private house with enough room to run and shaded areas. I was a school therapist, but now I am semi - retired. I moved to Arkansas to enjoy the nature and outdoors. Flexible availability year round. I will do my best to make sure that your pet is happy and interacted with while you are not able to be with them and give you updates daily. Cats welcome! I am semi - retired and available to spend time with any pets that I host to be sure they are happy and not missing their owner too much. I have two very friendly large dogs to keep your friend company. We go outside and do walks often. We like to get outside and enjoy the weather.
“Hoss had a wonderful Time at Leisha’s. She was so thoughtful and made me feel so comfortable about my dogs stay with her. I’m booking her for more days right now!!!”
About: I have always been in love with animals of all shapes and sizes. I know lots of knowledge about the care and health needs of animals. I am willing to put extra care in order to keep your loved ones as healthy and safe as possible and make them feel happy while you’re out. I am available for evening and noon feedings and care/walks after my college classes are done in the mornings. I am also available most weekends when on campus. We can have a chat before or you can leave a note with instructions on feeding or any quirks your furry friend has. I will try to keep their routine as normal as possible to not stress them.
“My 16 year old yorkie was in good hands with Samantha & Matthew B. I appreciate all the Rover sitters for opening their homes and hearts to help care for other's dogs. I had traveled to another state for my grandson's graduation and needed a sitter while I attended the ceremony. The invitation was last minute, but Samantha & Matthew responded quickly. Anyone with a beloved family pet understands what a relief it is to have a way to find good people care for their pet while they are traveling. Thank you for taking care of my dog.”

About: I've always been a dog lover! Love a super clingy couch potatoe more than anything but high energy is also welcomed as i have an all in one doggo myself.

I completely understand that not all dogs are the same.. mine is very complicated in his own way but we are there for him when he needs us to be and that applies to your babies as well!

Not to mention their care being my top priority when visiting your home and especially caring for them in my own home.
