“Loveeee Amber! She was so responsive and made sure to send plenty of photo updates. I don’t trust my baby with just anyone and I could tell that he was loved and cared for while I was away. He even jumped back out of the car when I picked him up because he wanted to stay longer lol. Amber is the only sitter I’ll use while in Little Rock.”

“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.”
“They were so patient with Chase. I had never gone out of town before where I didn’t take Chase. This was our first experience. He didn’t take it well but Renee continued to send updates and Chase got used to being with them. I would of course book with her again!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
About: We’ve fostered 6 dogs over the past few years including one who became our foster fail. Our experience with rescue dogs has taught us how to earn a dog’s trust and how to care for dogs with different needs. We also only accept one client at a time to ensure your fur baby has our undivided attention. Tanner works from home 5 days a week, and Natalie has a hybrid work schedule. We also take our dog on a walk along our neighborhood trail at least once a day and would be happy to bring your pup along with us. We have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to play. If we need to leave the house, we prefer to have our doggy guests crated, but we will minimize crate time as much as possible. We will provide pictures of your dog throughout the day to keep you updated. We ask that the dogs in our care are up to date on vaccines.
“We love Scout! She took great care of our pup during her stay and sent us daily photos of her having a great time. We are so glad we found such a reliable, caring home to care for our dog while we were out of town. We can’t wait to use her again! :)”
“I have used Rover for years and Marci has by far been the best dog sitter. Caesar loved her!!! She was so kind and responded so quickly to texts during our trip! She is amazing!!”
“Ashtin was amazing! She gave me such peace of mind while I was on vacation, knowing my fur baby was well cared for. She kept me updated with frequent photos and thoughtful updates, which I truly appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!!”
“Larry was great! Our dog Buck is on a raw food diet which was no issue for Larry. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and communicated very well throughout our 10 day vacation. He made us feel very comfortable from the time of dropping Buck off to the time of pickup. Will be asking Larry to watch our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been totally obsessed with dogs since the age of 10, while choosing at that young age to overcome my fear of them. My dream was to be a veterinarian or animal behaviorist, but due to life & no-fault of her own, my mother could not provide those things. I became a mother myself, shortly upon entering adulthood. Ultimately, I let that dream go. My family and friends however, call me the Cesar Millan of the family :) I pride myself and being really great at training, loving wholeheartedly and unconditionally, and making any dog like me that tried not to before. I tell people all the time, when I see a dog, it needs to either bother me or or I’m going to bother it or I’m going to leave and cry in the car. I am just a stay at home mom who would love to give you peace of mind by caring for and spoiling your babies while also taking care of mine in the process. It is summertime, I’m a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. If your baby is good in public, he or she could also tagalong for our random family walks at different locations if you are comfortable with it. I don’t especially like leaving them at home anyway. Most times though, we ar home! We’re all home bodies lol I have a fenced in yard, two super affectionate, playful dogs of my own. My little family is also equally obsessed with fur babies, although I’ll be the one caring for your pet(s), my children will be there to lend some extra pets and loving. 🥰I’m good at reading body language, so I will be able to help minimize or relieve stress from your baby.
“Madison & Isiaih have done great boarding my dog. They send pictures and videos of my dog’s activities and that gives me peace of mind knowing that my Louie is in good hands .”

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.
“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!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”

“Paige was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She kept us updated the whole time and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
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.
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.

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 work from home 99% of the time, which means your dog will have constant companionship and a quiet, safe environment. I can easily accommodate regular potty breaks in my fully fenced in backyard, supervision during my workday, and plenty of desk-side cuddles. I love to work with geriatric and senior dogs. Having had two senior dogs of my own, I am familiar with the gentle care and consideration needed for these more fragile pups. Whether your pup needs slow and steady mobility support or just a quiet place to nap while I work, they will be in safe hands here. 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.

And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!

About: I’ve had had the privilege of caring for many creatures across my life (dogs, cats, praying mantises, spiders…) and would love to help you care for yours! I have two wonderful dogs: Ozzie and Lily. They keep me on a strict schedule for activity time (walks, playing, etc) and feeding. Trust me, they’ve trained me well! I also grew up with two cocker spaniels, Droopy and Floppy, and a German shepherd-beagle mix, Scooby. Every dog has so much character and it’s an absolute joy to learn their unique personalities! My work schedule tends to vary weekly and I can start as early as 9am and leave as late as 9pm, but I am generally available everyday to play with your critters! We can discuss times before booking. I am also a college student with class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I care for pets based on their individual needs with insight from their owners. For example, I can trust my dog Lily to behave herself home alone, but with Ozzie, I know I have to provide him a spacious kennel to prevent him from getting anxious and chewing up the carpet. Regardless, I provide them lots of love, playtime, and outside time whether it be a walk or a potty trip. I have a fenced backyard personally and my dogs (and even my cat with supervision) love to spend time out there.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal, volunteer, and pet sitting experience. I currently have a 10-month-old puppy that I’ve raised and trained since puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with young dogs, routines, and daily care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I also walked dogs during college and frequently pet sit for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight care. I’m very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule around my part-time job and love making time to care for pets! I’m usually available in the mornings and afternoons before 3 for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m very dependable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I always treat each home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities, and I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep them happy and secure. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, safe environment while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean, respected, and well cared for.

I treat every animal like my own and always aim to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby! I'm currently working part-time from home and pursuing certification in dog training, allowing me ample time to care for your fur baby.I’m really flexible and will tailor to your needs I have a fenced-in backyard, and due to the winter season, your pet will remain indoors, only going outside for potty breaks or walks and play time.
About: I have had my own cat since I was 4 years old and I grew up caring and watching over her and she is still by my side to this day. Throughout the years I have taken care of other animals within my family and my friends. I have more knowledge and experience with cats but I would love to watch over dogs more often. I have a job at Starbucks and my schedule fluctuates but I get my schedule three weeks prior and I am willing to work with anyone to be sure I can give their animals the care they need. Currently, I am treating my cat of her hyperthyroidism and early signs of kidney disease. I give her her medicine on a set schedule, a full dosage in the morning and a half-dosage at night. And even if work overlaps with that time I am sure to be flexible so I can get to her in time for her medication.
About: I love all animals of course! I personally have two cats and a 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: NOW OFFERING A FREE BATH FOR FIRST TIME BOOKINGS! I worked at an exotic vet clinic for almost 2 years. I have a 7 year old boy. I have worked with multiple dogs as the same time for over 10 years. I am now training. I can't wait to play with your pups/critters!! ❤️ I work early mornings at a doggie daycare Pets are taken outside in the mornings and fed if need to be before work (only two days a week) when I get home at noon everyone is let out again fed lunch if needed, then we have supervised play time. Everyone goes out again, then we rest. Dinner is served in the evenings and after we go out to potty again. (I am able to accommodate to younger pups or dogs with medical issues) I do have three friendly dogs and one kitty. All new pets are slowly introduced to my three dogs.

About: **I have base access.** I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have five dogs, ranging from 1 to 9 years old and from small to large breeds, and all five have successfully completed the Canine Good Citizen course. I also have a cat who is almost 10 years old, and my previous cat lived to be an amazing 24 years old. Caring for my pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, training, and, most importantly, giving each animal the love and individual attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and currently only work two days a week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and give them the time and attention they need while their owners are away. I provide pet care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I believe staying in their own home can make your time away much less stressful for them because their routines, food, toys, sleeping areas, and everything they’re used to are already in place. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, care, and affection. My goal is to make your time away as easy and comfortable as possible for both you and your pets.
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.

“Loveeee Amber! She was so responsive and made sure to send plenty of photo updates. I don’t trust my baby with just anyone and I could tell that he was loved and cared for while I was away. He even jumped back out of the car when I picked him up because he wanted to stay longer lol. Amber is the only sitter I’ll use while in Little Rock.”

I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“They were so patient with Chase. I had never gone out of town before where I didn’t take Chase. This was our first experience. He didn’t take it well but Renee continued to send updates and Chase got used to being with them. I would of course book with her again!”

“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!”
About: We’ve fostered 6 dogs over the past few years including one who became our foster fail. Our experience with rescue dogs has taught us how to earn a dog’s trust and how to care for dogs with different needs. We also only accept one client at a time to ensure your fur baby has our undivided attention. Tanner works from home 5 days a week, and Natalie has a hybrid work schedule. We also take our dog on a walk along our neighborhood trail at least once a day and would be happy to bring your pup along with us. We have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to play. If we need to leave the house, we prefer to have our doggy guests crated, but we will minimize crate time as much as possible. We will provide pictures of your dog throughout the day to keep you updated. We ask that the dogs in our care are up to date on vaccines.

“Larry was great! Our dog Buck is on a raw food diet which was no issue for Larry. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and communicated very well throughout our 10 day vacation. He made us feel very comfortable from the time of dropping Buck off to the time of pickup. Will be asking Larry to watch our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been totally obsessed with dogs since the age of 10, while choosing at that young age to overcome my fear of them. My dream was to be a veterinarian or animal behaviorist, but due to life & no-fault of her own, my mother could not provide those things. I became a mother myself, shortly upon entering adulthood. Ultimately, I let that dream go. My family and friends however, call me the Cesar Millan of the family :) I pride myself and being really great at training, loving wholeheartedly and unconditionally, and making any dog like me that tried not to before. I tell people all the time, when I see a dog, it needs to either bother me or or I’m going to bother it or I’m going to leave and cry in the car. I am just a stay at home mom who would love to give you peace of mind by caring for and spoiling your babies while also taking care of mine in the process. It is summertime, I’m a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. If your baby is good in public, he or she could also tagalong for our random family walks at different locations if you are comfortable with it. I don’t especially like leaving them at home anyway. Most times though, we ar home! We’re all home bodies lol I have a fenced in yard, two super affectionate, playful dogs of my own. My little family is also equally obsessed with fur babies, although I’ll be the one caring for your pet(s), my children will be there to lend some extra pets and loving. 🥰I’m good at reading body language, so I will be able to help minimize or relieve stress from your baby.
