“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.”

“Tammy was terrific! Provided daily photos and videos of our puppy and always kept us informed on how she was doing while we were away. Would recommend and definitely look forward to using Tammy in the future.”

“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”

“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”

“The most amazing person to leave your baby with. My girl was in such good hands and loved her playmate. Will 100% be using her again! The videos and updates gave me such peace of mind.”

“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!”

“Stephanie and family treated our babies as their own. Every time we got a picture, they looked very comfortable and loved. Would definitely take them back.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Absolutely great experience! Received daily photos and videos of my big boy Teddy living his best life. This was my first time using this service and I was 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Madison and Isiah! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you again! ❤️”

“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”

“While I would like to gate-keep this wonderful family and not share them, I must! They have kept my Mabel for about 6 weeks over the course of the 6 months I’ve had her. She LOVES them. She loves their dog. They may honestly be the sweetest family on earth. They give immediate updates with pictures, but they also understand if you can’t check in with them constantly. The first time they kept her, I accidentally left them with an issue with her. I was already headed to the airport so I was stuck. They handled it like she was their dog. I know they treat her so well . I just can’t say enough about this sweet family. I also had a 15 hr flight delay. When I let them know, they acted like it wasn’t 2 days before Christmas and I could come whenever I got home. (Even suggested that I rest first). Your pets will be in safe,loving hands with this family. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. ( ( I drive about 40 minutes each way to get her to them and I would drive 3 hours each way without hesitation!”

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.

“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”

About: Hi, I'm Renee and I have a deep affection for our furry (and non-furry) friends. I would be honored to share my love and care with your pet as you do the things you need to. I'm a good listener and highly adaptable so any special care your pet needs will not be a problem. Pets are as different as the many colors they come in and they deserve individual care. I am also open to critiques so any way I can be of better assistance please let me know. I look forward to serving your pet. See you soon! I work from home so your pets will get all of the attention they deserve! This allows me to offer a variety of services to fit your needs. I treat your pets like mine with access to the fenced backyard, treats, and toys! Mental and physical exercise is important followed by a nap!

“Lacy was fantastic!! She did a great job pet sitting our cat, sent lots of photos and updates, and left the home in perfect shape!! She gave me peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands while we were out of state! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Ashleigh took amazing care of my cat, Roxy! She always made sure I was updated and took the cutest pics of Roxy. Roxy had a few special things she needed done like getting wet food and medicine orally and Ashleigh did it all. I felt at ease leaving Roxy in Ashleigh’s care.”

“Patty was wonderful with our Murphy. Communication with her was easy setting up sitting services and she continued to communicate with us while we were gone. We were thrilled to know that while we were away Patty was taking care of Murphy. She treated him as if he was her own. Not only did she take care of his basic needs she played his favorite game of Fetch, till her arm almost fell off! We would definitely recommend Patty to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and Tabitha made it such a wonderful experience! She came by beforehand for a meet and greet, took thoughtful notes to make sure our girls were well cared for. Even our most skittish pup warmed up to her right away! Tabitha was punctual, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We’d be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Mrs Tressa was definitely the best option for my girls. She is super friendly and receptive to care instructions, and her dogs are super sweet. She kept me updated during my pets entire stay and was flexible when i needed her most. Definitely will work with her again and highly recommend!”
“This is our second time using Christy to care for our kitties while gone on a long trip. Like last time, she was wonderful! Not only did she feed them and take care of the litter, but she took the time to love on them and give them attention. My kids were excited to read her updates each day and see the photos she sent of them. We will continue to use Christy anytime we are gone on long trips! She’s the best!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 5 years, providing everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight stays. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior dog needing extra TLC, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, which means I’m available for pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the day, evenings, and even weekends. This allows me to accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent, attentive care for your dog when you need it most. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority! During in-home visits, I make sure your dog gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or a walk, depending on your dog’s needs. I also provide cuddles, companionship, and any medication if needed. I aim to keep your dog’s routine as normal as possible, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.
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

About: Cats have always had a special place in my life, and I know that every feline has their own unique personality and needs. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention, whether that means engaging playtime with kittens, gentle grooming, or quiet companionship for older cats. Since 2022, I’ve cared for a variety of cats throughout Central Arkansas, and I enjoy adapting to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. I like to take time before any booking to learn each cat’s routine and make sure I understand the details, from food preferences to litter box habits, medication schedules, or favorite hiding spots. I’ve also had experience giving medications and can follow any special instructions you provide to keep your cat healthy and happy. Some cats love to chase a toy mouse, others prefer a sunny nap with a calm presence nearby. Whatever your cat’s style, I’ll make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: I take care of different pets in my day to day life as well as in my past. I currently work at an animal hospital and have experience with animals And given medications and treatments . I currently work and have a flexible schedule most weeks. I do have the option to change my schedule if needed based on what you need me to do.

About: I have been around animals my entire life! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets! I have great experience with puppies but I’m open to learning more about the care of elder pets. I also have experience with multiple breeds, big and small, and understand that each pet requires a different approach. I have a Pomeranian-Dachshund mix named Blue and he is practically my child!! I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone new and how important it is to trust that person. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur-baby, I promise to become that trusted friend! I am currently a student so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always available in the afternoons and on the weekends to care for your pet! If you have any questions about my availability please message me! Depending on your pet and their needs, my care for them can differ. For example, a puppy with lots of energy and little training, I would include lots of play and (if asked) some basic training. If I am caring for an older pet who prefers calm visits, I will relax with them and take the visit slow. Each pet is unique and I will care for them accordingly. The owner’s comfort always comes first so if you have special instructions, that is always a priority.
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’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.

About: I’ve had a soft spot for animals ever since I was a kid, and that passion has led me to care for a wide variety of creatures throughout my life.

While boarding your animal in my home your pet will be with me the entire time. I refuse to leave animals unattended for any reason as being in a new environment can be kind of scary.

I’ll send lots of pictures whenever you’d like.

“Lauren was so perfect for us—She watched, walked and took care of Katie, our two year old Golden Retriever, for us for a full afternoon. Lauren was communicated with us perfectly in the booking, was punctual for the meet, was immediately smitten with Katie (and importantly, Katie with Lauren). It was just so wonderful to have a responsible, loving animal lover look after our Katie. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your pet needs.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs, or any animal for that matter, since I was a little! Every dog I have ever met has always loved me as much as I love them! Over my lifetime I have had many different breeds of dogs in my home so I know a lot on how every dog has its own unique needs and qualities. I am currently attending college to become a licensed and certified veterinary technician. I care as much about taking care of animals as I love meeting and loving them! I love every animal as if they were my own! I've had little dogs and huge dogs my whole life so I can handle anything! Ive owned all types of pets as well from birds to snakes to horses, and of course cats and dogs. I am currently in sophomore year of college and all of my classes are online. I thought that taking good care of animals would be the best way to spend my time. I would love to help others with their animals in my spare time. Because I am currently living in an apartment i'm unable to sit in my own home, but would love to take care of dogs in their own space! I would of course make sure they are fed when needed, let outside to potty as necessary, and of course lots of playtime! I would be sure to maintain a clean, safe, and healthy environment for someone's fur babies!

“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.”

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.

“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”

“While I would like to gate-keep this wonderful family and not share them, I must! They have kept my Mabel for about 6 weeks over the course of the 6 months I’ve had her. She LOVES them. She loves their dog. They may honestly be the sweetest family on earth. They give immediate updates with pictures, but they also understand if you can’t check in with them constantly. The first time they kept her, I accidentally left them with an issue with her. I was already headed to the airport so I was stuck. They handled it like she was their dog. I know they treat her so well . I just can’t say enough about this sweet family. I also had a 15 hr flight delay. When I let them know, they acted like it wasn’t 2 days before Christmas and I could come whenever I got home. (Even suggested that I rest first). Your pets will be in safe,loving hands with this family. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. ( ( I drive about 40 minutes each way to get her to them and I would drive 3 hours each way without hesitation!”

“My new bunny had a great time with Jackie. She’s young and I adopted her after she was found abandoned on the side of the road so she’s shy and skittish at times. However, Jackie was very patient with her and won her trust. When I picked her up I had to chase her around because she didn’t want to leave. I think she was having too much fun exploring the big house and hanging out with Jackie. I’m so happy to use Jackie as my trusted pet sitter once again! He treats all my pets like one of the family :)”
