“Huge thanks to Loria! I was a first-time Rover user and she made the whole reservation comfortable and easy with daily updates! She was also very cognizant of my dog’s needs, nursing a healing injury. Thanks so much! I would (will) gladly book again!”
“Laura was so good to Punkin. She has kept Punkin for day sitting and now for an over night, both making us very comfortable knowing she is caring for our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!”
“Leaving Marley with Rachael gave me peace of mind that she was being taken care of. She kept in touch and sent pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was doing well.”
About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From hamsters, cats, dogs (daschund to Great Danes), to our chickens! I’m a stay at home momma so I’m available to take care of your fur babies and welcome them in to my home with care at all times! I’m home a majority of all days! After waking up, I take my kiddos to school and I go to the gym where I teach senior classes for 45-75 minutes a day Monday through Friday. After I will come back home. I like to spend my time outside in the yard. My yard is not fenced in, we have 40 acres and a pond as well that my heeler swims in but daschund wouldn’t step foot in. I do have two crates I have in my home, as well as a outdoor kennel. We are located on a dead end road and only two other houses are located out here so not much traffic!
“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.”
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!

Cat caregivers near you - Searcy
“Peggy always goes above and beyond when watching our cats. She watered our plants and stopped by an additional time to check that the house was locked and secured. We are lucky to have her!”
About: I've been caring for cats since I was 10 — neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in, feed, play, and give their pets real attention while they're away. I understand that cats have their own routines and personalities, and I make it a point to respect that. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers space and quiet, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you're back home.
“I will NEVER have another sitter other than Susan! She is an incredible person who took care of our MeowMeow as if he was her own. She sent lots of videos and pictures so I always knew what was going on. She is so personable and just an all around amazing choice.”
“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: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal attention I give every cat. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your cat is playful and social, shy and independent, or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your cat is not only being cared for, but truly cared about.
About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always
“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! :)”
About: Growing up on a farm in rural Hungary surrounded by cats was just the beginning of my love for animals in general. Ever since I was an infant I've always been drawn to animals, pets and otherwise, and have aligned my lifestyle to prioritize animal welfare. It's not easy to have an animal without constantly feeling like there is room to improve in terms of the time and care we give them, but with some assistance that can be made much easier. Taking some of the burden off of a pet owner is something that I've always enjoyed. Whether you are wanting a much-needed vacation or just need some short-term care, I am local and ready to head over, experience in hand.

“Cody was an amazing sitter! Gave updates on how things were going and photos which both gave such good peace of mind while we were away. Wouldn't have wanted it any other way and would definitely book again!”
About: My wife and I share a love for animals and have always had pets. Your pet will enjoy plenty of affection and play time on our farm outside of town with plenty of fenced in area for fun and exercise! With a work from home schedule, there will be plenty of time to care for and play with your pet throughout the week and weekends. I have large fenced in areas and two friendly dogs in the home who love to play with other dogs. If your pup is timid or not as playful, there is plenty of space separate for some alone time.
“Laura made sure Punkin was comfortable which made it easier to leave her. Punkin seemed to get along with her fur baby’s well too, they are so sweet! We will definitely use her again…. Booking an overnight stay now!”

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 with time to take breaks outside or to give pets. I try to spend as much time as I can with my boarders and limit time away. For boarding/daycare : 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: We have been taking care of pets, livestock and wild life for 24 years. I have been in business as a groomer for 20 years and have transitioned to daycare and boarding. I board animals 7 days a week and do daycare Monday thru Saturday. Hours are 7 am to 6 pm Monday thru Saturday and 2pm to 6 pm on Sunday. I am located in the heart of Vilonia on a beautiful 35 acre farm. I have multiple fenced in areas, suites, kennels and catios to take care of any of your pets needs. We offer 2 snacks a day and can provide nature walks or a ride on our side by side. Our play areas all have turf so you don't have to worry about your dog getting muddy.
About: I’ve been to vet tech school, worked at a local clinic, owned animals my entire life and will love others animals like my very own. I am stay at home mom who would love to come by one, two or three times a day to check on your fur babies and make sure they have food, water, clean litter and a place to sleep. I may even bring special treats myself to share. I love and cuddle on my babies all day, everyday. Our pups even sleep with us at night. Cats and dogs all get along well in our home due to being raised together.
“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.”

I am very flexible and understanding, will work with what you are needing for your animal. I live in an apartment with two cats! I am a very detail oriented person who will do everything possible to provide the best care.
About: I have owned animals since I was a small child, now grown I have a house full of pets that I call my own. I often pet sit for friends and family. Animals need to feel safe and cared and I will strive to bring those to your home each visit. I have experience across the spectrum of animals and all stages of life from needy pups to the "grumpy" ole men and woman. I also have experience providing oral medications. 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.

If you would not like the extra help please let me know and I will not bring them.

“Thomas does a great job caring for my pup. Lots of photos/videos to keep me updated. Always ensured there was food, water. My pup was always greeted with head taps and ear scratches keeping him happy. Thanks Thomas!”
About: I love all animals of course! I personally have two cats and big dog myself. I have had animals of all kinds growing up and love all like they’re my own! I can’t wait to become your animals best friend😊 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays while making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine, constant supervision, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I’ll also respect your home, follow any special instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I've spent my entire life around dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has always had at least one dog in the household-right now we have four-so I've experienced almost every stage of canine care. I raised my own goldendoodle, Paisle, through an extremely energetic puppy phase, and I've also cared for senior dogs, including our family cocker spaniel who faced health issues and became sensitive in his later years. I am comfortable handling both large dogs and small breeds. This lifelong, hands-on experience helps me understand each dog's unique needs and provide patient, reliable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for multiple dogs at home. I keep a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and individual attention, so adding another pet into my routine feels natural. I’m also a full-time student, but during the summer I’m not busy with classes, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. Whether it’s daily care or weekly check-ins, I’m organized, reliable, and always make sure each pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each dog’s needs and routine. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate training, or preferred walking routes. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I’m patient with dogs who are shy, high-energy, or adjusting to a new space. I also keep communication open with frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that helps your dog feel as secure with me as they do with you.
“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: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My mom and dad were very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I have no problem caring for dogs in any age range, I can walk and house sit. I am currently working part time as a Realtor so I have plenty of time to watch and walk your pups! I can board on the weekends or weekdays if needed. I have a full privacy fenced around my backyard with two of my own fur babies who are neutered and friendly. But I can crate your pups to keep them safe and separate mine to make yours a priority for the time being.
“Autumn was an amazing help when I was traveling for work. She was prompt and communicative, and even helped clean up a bit when the puppy chewed up the couch. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. In college, my friends and professors knew to trust me with their pets, whether walking, feeding, or boarding. Currently, I have two dogs that are trained to follow commands and walk off-leash. So, whatever the service, I’m here to help! I am fortunate to have an extremely flexible work schedule, so I am able to accommodate most of your pet’s needs—whatever the time or day! Safety and trust are paramount. I always follow directions and communicate often to ensure the best care for your four-legged friend. I am currently working a hybrid job that allows me to be very flexible to accommodate not only your schedule, but your pet’s schedule as well. I live in a house with a fenced-in backyard to ensure that every pet is safe and out of harm’s way. I have two dogs that love to make new friends!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. The availability I have is on weekends and after 4 pm on weekdays, available holidays. Stay overnight and accept long-term stays (longer than one week). I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
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.
