“KK had the best stay with her new animal friends! She played so hard that she mostly napped the rest of the day after I picked her up. Scout was super easy to work with and sent pictures of my girl with updates. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”
“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! ❤️”
“Mandy is absolutely amazing. She sends plenty of updates and pictures without you having to ask. Mandy and her husband are very accommodating as well. My Lizzie came home exhausted after spending four days with her wonderful family so that lets me know she had an amazing time playing, running and interacting with other dogs. We will be booking again really soon!”
“Christian, Ruth and there 2 children are the nicest people and they took good care of my 2 dogs for an overnight stay. They live on a dirt road surrounded by woods and have a small farm of chickens, bunnies, and goats. They took the dogs out several times for walks in the woods near there home. They have a fenced in area in the back for the dogs as well. It just a really nice environment for my fur kids to be while I'm gone. Plus Ruth sends lots of pics and videos! We will definitely be using them in the future!”
About: As a Vet Tech student, I provide expert care for dogs. My five-year-old mix, Stormy, and I love adventures and ensuring every pet feels safe, healthy, and happy. I offer full-time care every day. I prefer morning and evening sessions to keep dogs cool and safe from the heat, ensuring your pet stays active and comfortable. I live in a first-floor apartment with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a dedicated room to roam free and relax comfortably without any cages.
“Alicia was super patient with our dogs when they decided to not be on their best behavior. She kept me updated on how they were doing during their long stay with her. They were well cared for!”
“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 :)”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and single mom of two who has always had pets as part of my family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and am comfortable with other animals as well. I provide house and pet sitting during the times my kids are with their dad, which allows me to fully focus on your pets and your home. I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekends and major holidays, and I understand the importance of routines, clear communication, and responsibility. I take pride in keeping homes clean and organized—and I always try to leave things better than I found them. Your pets will be cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love, just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time teacher and work weekdays from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m home and able to devote my time and attention to your pets. I attend church on Sundays and Wednesday evenings, but otherwise keep a predictable, low-key schedule. When I accept a booking, your pets become a priority in my daily routine. I’m intentional about planning my time around their needs—whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. Since I don’t currently have a fenced yard, this also allows me to safely meet each pet’s individual needs without disrupting their environment. I follow the pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and bedtime routines. I’ve found that consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces stress while their owners are away. I take time to help each animal feel calm and at ease—whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. My goal is always to provide care that feels familiar, loving, and dependable, so your pet stays happy and comfortable in your absence.
“William was excellent with Buster and Felicia. We had a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything is in order. He was very responsive and I felt safe leaving my two dogs with him.”
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 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.
“Maru is the absolute best!!! It’s been hard finding someone here we trust after moving so far from family. She treated our baby just like one of her own and had him playing and out running with her babies. Leaving our guy is never easy but she sent a ton of pictures which made us feel like we were there with him. You could see how much fun he was having in every one of them! We will absolutely be using her in the future!”
“Lacey and her husband took amazing care of my dog, Winston! Lacey is friendly and is willing to go above and beyond for the animal and their owner. I would recommend her and will definitely be using her services in the future. :) thanks Lacey!”
“My puppy Thunder is a handful and being a Ridgeback still needs a lot of work. I appreciated Christina's professional guidance on how to continue to train him. It helped him out to be at her house and under her care.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and caring for them has been a natural part of who I am.

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

“Charsy did a wonderful job caring for our beloved cats while we were away on a family vacation. She sent tons of adorable updates and gave us info on what our cats were up to while we were on vacation. Charsy sent tons of fantastic pictures and I could tell the kitties were being loved while we were gone.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends.

About: 🐾 16 Years of Paws, Purrs, and Play! 🐾 It’s official: my heart is now perfectly balanced! ⚖️ For those who know me, you know my life has been shaped by the dogs I’ve raised and loved for 16 years. But today marks a special milestone—I have now officially spent the exact same amount of time, 16 years, caring for cats! 🐱🐶 Whether it’s a wagging tail at the front door or a soft purr on my lap, my home (and my clothes, let’s be real) has been covered in fur for nearly two decades. People often ask if I’m a "dog person" or a "cat person," but the truth is simple: I’m an animal person, through and through. There’s something so rewarding about the different bonds they offer: * Dogs: Teach me about loyalty, boundless energy, and the joy of a long walk. * Cats: Teach me about patience, boundaries, and the art of the perfect afternoon nap.
About: I have cats of my own and have taken care of several others before. I have experience giving medications and eye drops as well. I make sure the litter box is clean daily so that kitties are happy and can do their business stress free. I will treat your babies like my own family and give them the best care possible!
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. Over time, I’ve learned how to provide proper feeding routines, maintain clean litter boxes, and ensure a safe, comfortable environment. I’m attentive to their health and well-being, recognizing signs of illness or stress and responding appropriately. I’m also familiar with grooming, administering basic care, and giving cats the attention and affection they need while respecting their independence. Whether it’s playful interaction, quiet companionship, or maintaining their daily routine, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable and compassionate care for cats of all ages and temperaments.
“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! :)”
“Linda was just absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond in every instance. She spent time with Niah and brought her bandana’s and played ball with her. We felt so at ease having her taking care of our little fur babies!! Thank you Linda!!!”
“Miranda was great with my cat Houdini. She regularly kept me posted via text or by phone during my 2 day vacation. I'll definitely be requesting her as a pet sitter in the future! Thank you Miranda for keeping a nervous mama calm 😁”
About: I'm a relatively new cat owner, but I've been around cats all my life, either from taking care of my family's cats, my friends or the stray cats I find just out and about. No matter what, regardless of what kind of cat you have, you can trust that I will love and care for them just as much as you!

About: I've always been a dog lover! Love a super clingy couch potatoe more than anything but high energy is also welcomed as i have an all in one doggo myself. I'm a calm, easy going dog owner and your pets will be loved and in good hands. I am currently a stay at home mom and spend most of my days at home. My dog gets let out 4-5 times a day and fed and water refreshed twice and I could put your babies on his schedule or I can tweak my day if there are any specific needs for your fur baby! I completely understand that not all dogs are the same.. mine is very complicated in his own way but we are there for him when he needs us to be and that applies to your babies as well! I will take extra time to pay attention to the details in your instructions on how to care for your babies because things go more smoothly that way! Not to mention their care being my top priority when visiting your home and especially caring for them in my own home.

About: Me and my wife Anna love animals - we both grew up with several dogs, and we currently have chickens :) We’re very active and would love to have your pet join either me or Anna for walks, hikes, or a game of fetch! Our schedules are flexible, and at least one of us would always be available whenever you need our services. Another great thing about choosing us is that we don’t currently have any pets in the house. If you’re looking for a peaceful temporary home for your pet where they will get plenty of individual attention, we’d be a great fit! We are very flexible and can fit you in at any time! Though it's worth mentioning that we go to bed quite early, so the latest walk we could schedule would be around 5-6pm. We really think the key to a happy pet is just going with their natural rhythm. If they’ve got energy and want to play, great - walks, toys, all the fun stuff! If they’re resting in a sunny spot and just want to relax, that’s cool too. And of course, we always listen to the owners; you know your pet better than anyone, and we follow your lead :)

About: From a young age I have always loved caring for pets. I started my own pet sitting business at age 10, and have been working with animals my whole life. My most recent position with pets was at a doggie daycare where I helped to monitor groups of 10-15 dogs at a time and loved every second of it. Through this experience I not only learned how to manage their behavior, but also how to keep them engaged and get their wiggles out. Dogs have always been part of my family and I know how hard it can be to leave your precious pup with someone you haven't met before. I will not only work to help get your dogs exercised, but also work hard to help them learn and have fun along the way.
“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.”

“Cannot say enough great things about Charsy, Mango absolutely adores her and they have a great time together. Makes me happy knowing Mangie has a best friend to hangout with for a little bit while I’m away from home.”
About: I have strong experience caring for animals through both professional and personal roles. I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, and ensuring the comfort and safety of multiple animals each day. This role taught me how to handle pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs with patience and confidence. In addition to my kennel experience, I have also provided pet-sitting services for people’s animals. Through dog sitting and general pet care, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines such as walking, feeding, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need while their owners are away. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and dependable care, making me confident in my ability to look after pets in a safe, attentive, and compassionate way. 💋🐶 I help care for the pet mini pigs we have and i have watched over dogs and i have a pet gecko i love. ❤️ I help take care of the animal as instructed off a list so i know to care for them correctly and bond with the baby.
About: I am a stay at home mom so, I can do checkins an potty time while you are at work. I have a pretty open availablity. I can do extra lovins while you are on vacation or out of town for work. I currently have 2 big dogs and a bird, I have had cats as well. I am ok with snakes and reptiles, just no spider type pets please. I love working with animals. My doggos are a bit older and both rescues. I have no problems dealing with medical issues and accidents. I have always had animals as long as I can remember, I can't imagine coming home to clean wintows and no happy wiggles and barks. I would treat your babies like mine. I am at home most days and rarely travel. I live in Morrilton but I am in Conway frequently. I have worked as an elderly care giver and had animals my whole life. I have a very nurturing spirit. I haven't met an animal I don't like. My kids get embarrased when I talk to animals I do not know as we walk down the street. I can't help it, it's the look in their eyes. They want lovins and I am a sucker for big floppy wiggles and waggs. I would be happy to care for your pets in your home. Caring for pets in my home is not an option at this time. We rescued a doggo from a dog fighting situation and have been able to get him ok with most people and our other dog, however he is not ready to make friends with other animals just yet.
About: I am doing school online at the moment and work for the state. I am in a family of four I have my mom, dad, and my special needs brother I help out a lot with. I have five dogs that I call my fur babies, and one cat that I might as well call a dog. I call her a dog just because she eats dog food lol. I have dog sat for many people and they recommend me to many others. I am applying to be a dog sitter on the side to make some extra cash too be able to help pay for my college classes. Any given chance that I can work with dogs and be able to take my energy out on them with playing im all for it! They can leave me a letter of what they would want me to do specifically. I have taken care of dogs by the notes that they have left me for quite sometime now.
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. I have 3 kids and a husband who may assist in the visits but will never be the primary care giver to the animals. My kids have taken after me and love helping and meeting new animals. If you would not like the extra help please let me know and I will not bring them.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for years, and I have two of my own—so I get it. I’m super dependable, really patient, and honestly just love being around animals. I care about doing things right and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. Right now I don’t have much going on, so I’m super flexible and can fit pet care in pretty much anytime. I’m taking a class, but I can work that around whatever schedule is needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, just being honest, but my dogs are super friendly and love other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed or keep them separate—we have a whole downstairs area I can stay in with them if that’s more comfortable. I’m also happy to take them on walks as often as needed to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

About: I have owned 3 dogs and 3 cats. I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have dog and cat sat many times for friends and family and hope to get to know your pets. I’ve had experience with a sick pet when I took care of my dog Layla, before her unfortunate passing. I hope to get to know your pets and increase my experience. I love and adore all different pet personalities and would like to get introduced to your pets before taking care of them. So both you and your companion know they are in good hands. I’m currently preparing for college and running a small business crocheting and selling small crafts. Which makes me very flexible on time. I’m free all summer. My home is unavailable for pet sitting, but I would be happy to take care of your pets in a place that is comfortable for them. I understand pets need lots of space and will make sure to give your pets the opportunity to get to know me within their own boundaries.

Right now, I am still working on a teacher schedule and sports events some nights of the week! I am happy to talk through any of that with you to accommodate your babies! I will always be with your baby & if you have special accommodations I can make that happen. I want to ensure that your feel safe and comfortable having me around YOUR family.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for parents & friends since I was young. As a personal trainer I love being active and why not help other pet owners out with care and getting their pet some of the physical activity they need. My dog can only take so many walks 😂. I am currently working a full-time a fitness director at a local university but am available during the morning hours before work and evenings after work. Available for entire weekends and can stay over the weekends. I will follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet, but can provide, walks, baths and playtime or just chill time and company if that’s what your pet prefers. Just like humans pets have their own personalities. 😁
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years! I truly believe that dogs weren’t sent on this earth to be our little angels. I would give your little furry friend all the loves he or she could handle while you’re gone away at work or even vacation! ❤️ I’m currently part time at my job and I was looking to make some extra money while I’m not in school. What better way to do that than to spend it with your fur babies!? I’m pretty flexible. Just send me a message and we will work something out! ☺️ I can not bring any dogs over to my house, unfortunately because I have five dogs. Not sure how they would feel about me bringing over your furry friend. I would be more than happy to come over to your house and let them out, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they were fed and had water. When it was time for me to go, I will provide kisses and hugs to your lil pup. Free of charge! 😊
About: Hello! My name is Katherine, but you can call me Alex (less formal and easier to remember) I've been around many kinds of pets all my life! Dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even some fish and I have always treated them with the highest amount of care and respect! So no matter what, you can trust that I will love, care for, and respect your pets as much as you do I don't have a job currently, so I'm pretty free up all the time. I can't do boarding or care at my residence, but I can do whatever care you need at your home. I can do whatever is needed, feeding, watering, walking, brushing, nail trims, baths, sneaking in the cheeky pill for the stubborn dog or cat. Basically any care you need from me, I can do.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness. Also have experience with chickens, goats, and pigs and how dogs interact with changes in their environment. I’m free most days, everything that I need to do is on my computer and can be done anytime and anywhere. I’m flexible and can fit into most clients’ schedule. I let them out when they want out, play when they want to play, and clean up any mess so that the client comes back to a just as clean or cleaner house and pets
“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’ve had a pet for as long as I can remember-dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I love them all! I have watched friends/family members pets when needed and am reputable, reliable and check in frequently with updates. I currently work from home and looking for ways to continue to be able to do that yet contribute financially to my household and family. I live in a rural town with just under 10 acres. I do not have a fenced yard at this time, but I am working on that. I do have outdoor kennel areas that can be used if necessary. A lot of room to run and play and also take a nice stroll on a leash.
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.

About: I’ve grown up in a pet-loving home with both cats and dogs and understand how important routine, patience, and affection are. I have experience caring for senior dogs and always adjust care to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is the genuine joy I find in making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have lots free time so I would love to make it easy to care for your pets, at the best times for you. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for theirs and their family's space. I carefully follow routines, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment so pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I treat every home with care and communicate openly, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I took care of my boys for just over 14 years, twin Shih Tzu’s, they were the loves of my life. They taught me more patience and much more research especially when they became seniors and required medications. After their passing I’ve been honored to take care of others fur babies, 3 goldens + 1 king cavelier and another’s cat. I loved every minute of spending time, walking, playing and even just sitting with them for company. I’m currently working part time and am flexible to help out with your fur babies whether you need someone to stop by for a few hours or need someone to watch them overnight. I will, with your instructions, care for your pet(s) just as you would. Currently I am unable to care for them in my own home.

“KK had the best stay with her new animal friends! She played so hard that she mostly napped the rest of the day after I picked her up. Scout was super easy to work with and sent pictures of my girl with updates. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha & her family cared for Rosie so well, like she was part of the family! Rosie has a lot of energy and their family and their own dog have Rosie so much attention and opportunity to play! They were so kind and great with communication and flexibility. Rosie will miss her puppy friend Jetta and their family! Would definitely recommend:)”
“Mandy is absolutely amazing. She sends plenty of updates and pictures without you having to ask. Mandy and her husband are very accommodating as well. My Lizzie came home exhausted after spending four days with her wonderful family so that lets me know she had an amazing time playing, running and interacting with other dogs. We will be booking again really soon!”

I live in a first-floor apartment with a fenced yard. Your pet will enjoy a dedicated room to roam free and relax comfortably without any cages.
“Alicia was super patient with our dogs when they decided to not be on their best behavior. She kept me updated on how they were doing during their long stay with her. They were well cared for!”
“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 :)”
“William was excellent with Buster and Felicia. We had a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything is in order. He was very responsive and I felt safe leaving my two dogs with him.”

“Maru is the absolute best!!! It’s been hard finding someone here we trust after moving so far from family. She treated our baby just like one of her own and had him playing and out running with her babies. Leaving our guy is never easy but she sent a ton of pictures which made us feel like we were there with him. You could see how much fun he was having in every one of them! We will absolutely be using her in the future!”
“Lacey and her husband took amazing care of my dog, Winston! Lacey is friendly and is willing to go above and beyond for the animal and their owner. I would recommend her and will definitely be using her services in the future. :) thanks Lacey!”
“My puppy Thunder is a handful and being a Ridgeback still needs a lot of work. I appreciated Christina's professional guidance on how to continue to train him. It helped him out to be at her house and under her care.”
