Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rixey
“Charlene was amazing! She responded to my boarding request immediately and the communication was great. She consistently sent updates on my dog and I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I would definitely contact her again in the future.”

“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.”

“Awesome with the dogs. She absolutely love what she do and that makes a world of difference when leaving your fur baby. Provide updates often. Will definitely use again!!”

“Above and beyond always is living our fur babies. Junior couldn’t wait to get inside when he arrived at Bonnie’s add Toby who was visiting for the first time, happily followed! They both had a blast. Bonnie takes special care to accommodate any exceptions/special care (like when two dogs don’t take kindly to each other), and handles surprises (good or bad) in stride. She is a true pro and loves each pet as if they are her own. We are beyond grateful for you and your family, B!”


“Naomi is the best! Takes great care of my pup and is our go to provider for frequent travel. She is very flexible , stays in contact and provides update as requested. Judging by how excited dog gets when she sees her, I know my dog is in good hands whenever Naomi has her.”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”

“Tammy is amazing! She has such a calming and welcoming spirit. My dog has separation anxiety and to see my pup jump up to tell her goodbye was so sweet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!!”

“Jacquelyn was AMAZING ! She was very commutative and always kept me updated. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving Dubai with her, definitely always booking with her !”

“Renee was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Lilo, while I was out of the country getting married. From the moment we met, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lilo in her care. Throughout the stay, Renee was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and messages almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Lilo was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. This was easily the best sitter experience I have ever had through Rover. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”

About: I've had a dog as long as i can remember. I have grandchildren that visit often and a fur baby of my own. So your fur baby must be good with kids and other dogs. I have a unique work schedule. Therefore, between my spouse and myself, your fur baby will not be left alone for long periods of time. So I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I have a secure fenced in backyard for your where your fur baby and run and play. I the ability to create if your fur baby requires it.
“Gail took care of my baby like it was her own. She sent pictures and added comments to make me feel close to my dog while I was away. Gail is very professional and adept in her care and love of pets. Paws 🐾 up!!”


“Dominique was a fabulous and very responsive host! We can definitely tell our baby enjoyed his time and was well cared for! We will definitely trust Dominique again when we’re in town!”

“We left our elderly, high anxiety (high needs) yorkie (Libby) with Scout. We were nervous how Libby would handle the situation but under the care of Scout she did wonderful and appeared to have a fabulous time! We will definitely use her again when the need arises!”
“I was so happy to meet Joe and his girl Ace. Ginger seem at home. What was an even bigger relief was that Newt wasn't in hiding. We received a picture of Newt and Ace very casually in each other presence. Thank you Joe for taking care of our babies.”

“Jill has found a second home! We love Miss Rhonda. My husband took Jill to Rhonda's for a pre-stay visit. When it was time, it was a simple drop off and pick up. Her fur babies are so sweet. Rhonda sent several pictures of Jill making herself right at home. We highly recommend Rhonda! We will be back!!! We will send family members to Rover.com and Rhonda!!!”

“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!”

“Lacy did another fabulous job taking care of our cat! We really appreciate her punctuality, responsiveness, reliability, trustworthiness, daily updates, pictures, and genuine care for our cat! In addition, we extra appreciate her willingness to stay an extra day when our travel plans got derailed because of the weather! It’s worrisome to be away from our animal for longer than expected, but Lacy immediately put us at ease and let us know she would continue to care for our cat until our safe return! We highly recommend Lacy for all of your pet care needs- she is awesome!!!”

“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”

“Ashleigh accepted my last-minute booking and was wonderful! She writes detailed visit notes and I received some cute photos of her little one playing with my cat, Penny. Will definitely keep Ashleigh in mind for future bookings ☺️”

About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.

“Haley is such a great cat sitter, returning to help watch our indoor/outdoor cats. She cleaned the litter boxes, brought in some mail/packages and kept us updated with photos and summaries of which ones were here and which ones were not. Thank you again for all your assistance and taking good care of our little ones!”

About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!

“Aaliyah was so great! She kept us in the loop, had great communication, and provided lots of updates and photos! I definitely would recommend her to care for your fur babies”


“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! She was always on time and sent me adorable pictures with every visit. One of my cats is very shy and scrambles under the bed when visitors show up, but she grew to trust Mackenzie over a few days. Aside from her ability to take care of pets, she's also a wonderful human being. When my flights got messed up and I had to return a day later than I anticipated, she was very understanding and willing to check on the cats that morning. Highly recommend booking Mackenzie!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving my fur kids with a stranger. I shouldn't have been though, because Miranda was fantastic! She spent extra time and attention on my shy kitties, and kept me updated with every visit. I will absolutely book with her again.”

“Renee was awesome!! She took very good care of our two doggies while we were gone for vacation. She was quick to reply and we never had to worrry about our doggies and just truly ejoy our vacation”

About: I have experience watching dogs for family and friends, and I enjoy spending time with them and building a trusting relationship. I enjoy interacting with dogs to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m going into my first year of college, so I wanted to find something flexible that I would enjoy doing and that would work well around my school schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and are let outside when needed. I also enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel happy and comfortable.

“Ariela took great care of our cats. She was reliable and communicated with us after every visit. We will definitely ask her first when we need care for our cats.”


About: **I have base access.** I have a lifelong love for animals and extensive experience caring for cats. I currently have a cat who is almost 10 years old, and my previous cat lived to be an amazing 24 years old, so I understand the importance of providing cats with loving, attentive care throughout all stages of their lives. I’m comfortable with cats of different personalities and understand that some are social and playful while others prefer a little more patience and personal space. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, attention, and plenty of love while you’re away. With my own pets, I’ve learned how important it is to follow their routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home.

“Ali came over to feed our indoor/outdoor cats in the mornings and change the water and litter for a week. We have a cat clan, and she gave us updates and photos letting us know who was there and anything else that we might want to know. She brought in some boxes that were delivered while we were gone and cleaned up a gift that one of the 1-y-o boys (likely) had brought into the house. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!!”

“Brice was the perfect rover for our two shy cats. He was patient and they warmed up to him by the end of the week - which is progress for them! He made things easy and communicated well. Would recommend him to anyone!”


“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).”

About: I have had pets and cared for others pets my whole adult life. I have cared for, bathed, walked given medicine to fur babies of all ages. I do not have an outside job so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to work with most schedules during the week. Contact me and we can make a plan! I have a fenced yard, a doggy door and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby/babies company. I am ready and willing to take instructions and care for your baby in a way you feel most comfortable. If they need to be crated, I can crate them. Whatever is needed. Pet care is my focus. It is a dogs world in my home and I am home most of the time. I am a home body and try to run the needed errands when I don’t have pups. I have a fenced in backyard with a doggy door so they can go in and out when they want. I have 2 mini dachshunds to keep your fur baby company and they love when friends come over. I put all pups in my room at night with the door closed. I can crate your pup/s, they can sleep on a doggy bed on the floor or sleep on the bed with me…whatever they prefer. I feed pups separately to make sure all pets are safe during feeding time. I have gates on all my bedroom doors so there is plenty of space to separate all.

About: My name is Angela. I worked as a kennel/doggie daycare manager at an Animal Clinic. I’m very familiar with administrating medicine to your fur babies if needed and being aware of signs of distress(stroke, dehydration Anything out of the usual) I already do some house/pet sitting for some vet clients now but would love to meet more people through this app. I would love to give your fur babies lots of love during my stay to offer them a stress free environment until you return home. Boarding is not for every dog or cat, and that’s why I want to provide a loving, caring and stress free home environment for them. I’m here to help! My life revolves around fur babies. They can sleep all day, play or just relax. Your babies will fit into my life no matter how they choose to spend their day. We treat every fur baby as our own. We have four dogs so they will have built in playmates. Cuddles on the couch is a must❤️

I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!
About: I specialize in pet boarding services in the Lonoke, AR area for small to medium size dogs. I have cared for dogs all of my life and even lived on a farm for a large part of my life where I provided top notch care for dogs, horses, and cows/calves. Dogs have always played a large part in my life and I have a great amount of experience with training, caring, and grooming them. Dogs are certainly my best friends and I have a never ending patience and have been called a "dog whisperer" by many family and friends! I will treat your dog Iike one of my own and it will be given plenty of love! Since I am home most of the time, it will be taken out often and it will be given plenty of exercise breaks along with being fed according to your preferences. It will be allowed on my furniture and in bed for plenty of snuggles! I'm located 2 miles off of I40 for easy access to many locations. I'm home most days so I'm always available for boarding and I can give each dog plenty of attention! I can provide drop off and pickup times which are convenient for owners.

“Taylor is the most professional dog-sitter we’ve ever had! Polite, responsible, communicates very well and sends updates without being asked! She took very good care of our baby!”

“Kristen was awesome! This is my first experience with Rover! So excited about this because I travel...A LOT! But I love my baby & I need him with me but can't have him all the time due to meetings & hotels that don't allow pets. Her 5yr old wanted to keep him...I told her they would fall in LOVE with my Peanut! ?❤️ Thank you Kristen!!!”
About: Dogs have been part of my household since childhood both as a member of our family and as a responsibility. I am familiar with puppy energy, older dog needs, and the social interaction that your furry fam requires and their individual personalities that require a unique individual approach. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, visitations and transport and social time/outtings. I have traveled with pets, and know how important routines and frequent checkups are for their social and mental well-being! I have currently full availability. Dog sitting for an extended period? Absolutely not a problem. I am able to do check-ins during certain times, or if you just want them to have a bathroom break every few hours or so I’m fine with that. I am alright to do some travel for small to mid/large dogs, if they need some park time, or even if you are looking to have them taken somewhere and can’t swing by home to grab them! Currently have no pets (they had to stay back home with parents 😢) and willing to take a small animal for a weekender stay in my apartment if they have a kennel. In the event that I do I can only take them for a weekend due to apartment style living not being as suitable for a dog. However while they are here, I am able to walk them quite a bit in this area; Heights has great walkability. Most of my care would be for you at your home, walking, sitting, pickup, etc. If they like to grab treats, interact with people, etc. I can find an arrangement either you that works best for your pet. I have friends nearby who have had rescues, elderly pets, and love animals, so they would love to meet and greet and give your animal some love and plenty of attention
“Thank you Christian for taking very good care of Chuck! The location of your place was very convenient. Thank you also for sending pictures of Chuck during his stay and for the prompt response whenever I send messages. I will definitely send Chuck there again...hopefully soon.”

“Ashleigh was great! My dog is a little weird with new people but from the pictures she took I could tell my girl was super happy! She even went the extra mile to run some more energy out by playing fetch after their walk. Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!
About: I have owned animals my whole life, cats and dogs. I’ve watched many friends and family member’s pets while they were away and made sure their sweet babies were well taken care of. I am experienced in caring for various pets, not just your typical furry friends but reptiles and fish too! I have a big heart for all animals so I will care for your pet as I would my own :) I am a part time worker, full time student at university, but I have a lot of free time on my hands! My schedule changes frequently so I’d love to communicate with you about availability instead. At my home I have a fenced in yard and many friends to play with. Lots of cat toys, towers and treats as well! I do have roommates and they also have animals so your pet will be entering a lively environment. If your pet is more of an introvert I would be happy to come to you. I’ll make sure to give your pet the five star treatment! Playtime and cuddles will be provided. If you’re just looking for someone to give your buddy some attention and exercise, I would be happy to walk them around your/my neighborhood or at many of the local parks near me. We’ll have a great time getting some sun!
“STOP. If you’re wondering whether to book Samantha, YES. She stepped in last minute for Riot. Her energy, her care, her updates… everything was next-level Samantha SAVED MY DAY! Riot was so happy on her walk and the photos she sent were adorable. 10/10 She’s incredible! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: Hello! I recently retired from the army due to medical issues; therefore, I have nothing but time on my hands! I am unable to hold a traditional job now, so I decided to help others and their pets instead. I have one Pomsky who’s a little brat, but he’s the sweetest thing. My rescued German shepherd had to be put down recently due to MRSA. He had more medical issues than you can probably name. Because of this, I am pretty well versed in helping dogs with crazy medical conditions. If you have any questions, please don’t be shy to ask! 💕 Due to my military medical retirement, I have more time on my hands than most people. Unable to hold a regular job now, pet care is easily the most enjoyable thing for me. I just moved to an apartment downtown Little Rock, since homes are so expensive now days. Due to this move, there’s a high possibility I would have to bring my Pinsky with me. He is very playful and has never had any issues with other dogs or cats. He is also crate trained and potty trained. I added boarding and day-sitting for those special situations some people may have. Having a dog who had very special requirements for care and weird schedules required for care, I completely understand that there are some people who struggle to find the right sitter or just any help at all. So I’ll seldomly accept boarding/doggy day-care for those who are okay with their pup inside an apartment.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up on some acreage which allowed my family to be able to house dogs ranging from toy fox terriers to big burly St. Bernard's with all kind of barn/house cats along side them. I have worked as a Veterinarian Assistant for 3 years and continued my animal journey by acquiring an Animal Science Degree. Over the years I have cared for animals on the side to supplement my love for them and now I can finally try for full time under my business Animal Wrangler, LLC! During my time as a Veterinarian Assistant I have gained experience administering several different kinds of medications to dogs, cats, and farm animals. As mentioned in my bio I do farm sit as well. I have cared for horses growing up and have experience with goats, cattle, alpacas, llamas, pigs, and several other exotic animals. Please feel free to send farm inquiries through to me as well. I'm currently a stay at home wife so I am available most of the time as long as I have ample heads up to get you on the schedule. I have experience with a wide variety of animals that have a wide variety of jobs! With the dogs I can provide walks, play time, and even work some working dogs. I do have a vehicle that I can take dogs to parks and places to swim. For the cats I really leave it up to them! I can read cat body language well so I will take the playtime at their pace, if that pace includes walks in the park then I am down to clown.
About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old. We have mostly had Dachshunds and a Spitz mix along with cats. I also help my Sister in law with her dog training business and house sitting with her large dogs. I currently have open availability to take care of pets and spend as much time with them as possible. My schedule is flexible and can revolve around your pets needs. I love to play with you pet and spend time cuddling with them. I am open to interacting with them however they want! I love pets of all personalities!
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!

About: 🌿 Hello! My name is Ashley 🌿 I have always been surrounded by animal companions growing up, and still feel a need and calling to put my best care into an animal's well-being. Your pet is a sophisticated, emotional creature with specific needs, and I guarantee that you can trust me with those needs. My #1 goal is to provide a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for your dog or cat. As a life-time dog owner and animal rights advocate, you can count on me to be present and attentive when caring for your pet. Whether they are young and energetic, or elderly and tranquil, there is no such thing as an animal who is "too needy." I can't wait to meet your furry friend! 🐶🐱 I am currently working on running my own business, so I have full availability for any pet care needs. I am hoping to build more clientele here as well. I will not be caring for any pets within my own home, but I am more than happy and available to provide services in your home!
About: Hey I’m Hannah! My Experience - From the time I was born I was raised with animals.Throughout the years, I've owned 6 different dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 7 ducks, 12 chickens, 1 beta fish and 1 hamster. My Dog - I rescued a Yorkie from a puppy mill in July of 2018. I named her Franky and we've been inseperable since! My Approach - I prefer to use positive reinforcement and treats when training a dog to obey commands. I can give your pet all of the pets and cuddles but can also respect their space if they’re more independent. I am flexible with pet care, but would prefer to have at least three days notice to work around my schedule. I am able to do local services as well as services within the same state. If I must travel for overnight services, I would like at least a week notice. I do not currently offer daycare or sitting within my home, but I am available to come to you in the event that you book with me!

“Charlene was amazing! She responded to my boarding request immediately and the communication was great. She consistently sent updates on my dog and I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her and her family. I would definitely contact her again in the future.”

“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.”

“Awesome with the dogs. She absolutely love what she do and that makes a world of difference when leaving your fur baby. Provide updates often. Will definitely use again!!”

“Above and beyond always is living our fur babies. Junior couldn’t wait to get inside when he arrived at Bonnie’s add Toby who was visiting for the first time, happily followed! They both had a blast. Bonnie takes special care to accommodate any exceptions/special care (like when two dogs don’t take kindly to each other), and handles surprises (good or bad) in stride. She is a true pro and loves each pet as if they are her own. We are beyond grateful for you and your family, B!”

“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”

“Renee was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Lilo, while I was out of the country getting married. From the moment we met, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lilo in her care. Throughout the stay, Renee was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and messages almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Lilo was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. This was easily the best sitter experience I have ever had through Rover. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”

“Dominique was a fabulous and very responsive host! We can definitely tell our baby enjoyed his time and was well cared for! We will definitely trust Dominique again when we’re in town!”

“We left our elderly, high anxiety (high needs) yorkie (Libby) with Scout. We were nervous how Libby would handle the situation but under the care of Scout she did wonderful and appeared to have a fabulous time! We will definitely use her again when the need arises!”
“I was so happy to meet Joe and his girl Ace. Ginger seem at home. What was an even bigger relief was that Newt wasn't in hiding. We received a picture of Newt and Ace very casually in each other presence. Thank you Joe for taking care of our babies.”

“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!”

“Thomas took care of our 10 month old pup who was in need of socialization for Labor Day weekend. He and his family have great energy and their house is full of love. Thomas was attentive and communicative, gave Mo a great environment to meet other dogs, and sent a ton of videos and pics. A great experience.”

“First time ever leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and she made me feel really comfortable trusting her with my boy and she did a splendid job of updating me and communicating with me.”

“They communicated great with me. Responded quickly. They took great care of my girl and send regular updates. It was my first experience using Rover and it was a positive one!”

“Samantha & Matthew took great care of Sammy. This was my first time using Rover. They made me feel good about leaving Sammy with them. Samantha and her family were very friendly and explained the process for this 1st timer. I'm thankful for her taking the time to make sure Sammy and Jetta were a good mix. I would use them again. Thanks again!!”

About: Hi, I’m Angie! I’ve been a dog lover and “dog mom” my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our family. My daughter is in her third year at LSU Veterinary School, and my son is a senior at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. When he’s home, he loves being my sidekick for walks, outings and dog activities. Dogs really are a family affair around here! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic dogs and multi-dog households to seniors, rescues and dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable with medications, detailed routines and adapting care to what each dog needs. I’ve also been on the client side of Rover, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your dog. I’ll keep you in the loop while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and what they enjoy. Whether that’s walks, backyard play, enrichment, a new place to sniff and explore, or just hanging out together, I want their time with me to feel less like being “left with a sitter” and more like spending time with someone they know. I have a flexible schedule and offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding and house-sitting. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can give the dogs in my care plenty of individual attention and flexibility. For Daycare and Boarding, I keep things small and personal rather than caring for a large group of dogs at once. Dogs are part of my day and get plenty of attention, playtime and outdoor time. For dogs who enjoy getting out, I’m also happy to mix things up with walks, enrichment, new sniffing spots or an occasional “field trip”. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow the important parts of their routine while tailoring our time together to their personality and what they enjoy. I’m attentive to behavior, safety and the little details owners tell me about their pets.
