“We were very lucky to find Lesa to watch our chocolate lab, Hank. For the seven days we were gone, I knew that he was taken care of and did not have to stress. Lesa sent us daily reports and pictures of Hank to keep us informed. Hank was even able to make some doggy pals in her labradoodles, Max and Skootch. Even though we did not come back until late to pick Hank up, she offered to meet us halfway because she knew we would be tired after a long day of traveling which was great. She is definitely a dog lover and we will surely be using her again for our next vacation. To add to that, the best rate! ”
“I had never gotten anyone to watch our dog, Bonni, before (other than family) & so I was a little worried, but she did great with Scout and her family! Scout let us come out to her place ahead of time so Bonni could meet her and see where she would stay. Overall, communication was great, she kept me updated on how Bonni was doing with pictures, and I would 100% feel comfortable having her watch Bonni again!”
“Bonnie was outstanding! She kept us updated throughout our pup’s entire stay with messages and pictures! She assured us that whatever needs our dog has would be met. We will definitely be using 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!!”
“Perfect! This was a last minute booking and Amber was gracious enough to accept. She is the best. Our dog "Nala" loves her. When Nala knows she is going to see Amber, she gets so excited that she starts running in circles”
“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.”
“Hannah is an amazing sitter! She sends multiple photos and updates throughout the stay which always makes us feel as though our pup is well taken care of and loved while we are gone. Will definitely book with her again!”
“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 .”
“Leisha and Elijah have kept our two big boys twice for us now and do an amazing job! They’re great with communication, and their family gives the pups all the love they could ask for. I love knowing they’re in good hands when we have to leave them behind!”
“We were very happy with Chewie’s care during our trip. Vita took him on daily walks & gave him all the snuggles. She sent us picture and video updates each day, which we really appreciated! We would use her services again.”
“Joanne was the best!!! This is the first time leaving our pup with anyone and the experience was wonderful. Joanne took great care of Toby, sent photos and videos daily and even gave him a bath!!! We couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Joanne.”
“We were so happy we found Jackie for our guy. This was our first time leaving Bean behind and we were anxious. Jackie took the time to pre-meet us and allowed us to see the interaction between the two. He then showed us his home backyard and family. He asked for notes, especially since being is on meds and any special needs Bean might have every day he sent us messages and pictures of Bean . Jackie is Bean’s friend. He became familiar with his ways, Bathroom behaviors and his insecurities, especially during the crazy weather if you need somebody loving and caring of your best friend, please reach out to Jackie. We are glad we did. Thanks, Traci”
“Mandy is awesome! She kept me updated daily and sent tons of pictures. My dog is super picky and a certified lap dog but she didn’t mind at all. It was a 30 minute drive for me but well worth it, this family is amazing! Thank you Mandy. I’ll definitely book with her again!”

“LOOK NO FURTHER if you want the VERY BEST to love and care for your pets - especially CATS!! Miranda is amazing!! She made my husband & I feel extremely confident & comfortable the minute we met. She listened to my concerns with some of their health issues & was at ease administering medicine. She arrived as scheduled, spent quality time with each of my (3) cats, & shared multiple pics of happy, relaxed kitties at each visit. Miranda’s demeanor and care for my cats truly put me at ease while I was away.”
About: Animals, specifically dogs and cats, have always been a key part of my life. I have a black lab of my own named Indy and she is my pride and joy. There are also several other dogs and cats within my inner circle that I absolutely adore. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your baby, and I would treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable and comfortable following even the most elaborate routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, recovery restrictions, or lots of extra cuddles.

I want your pet to feel as comfortable and at home as possible while they’re with me. Pets are welcome on the furniture and beds in my home, especially if that’s what they’re used to at home. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer them to be crated at certain times, I also have a kennel available and am happy to follow their normal routine.

“Renee is AWESOME! I have a couple of scaredy-cats for babies, one being especially more afraid of strangers than the other. By Renee’s second or third visit, that super scaredy-cat was sniffing up on Renee and giving her a chance. So when she says she’s an animal whisperer, she’s legit. Renee is very personable and very clear with her communication. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the future! Thank you Renee!!!”

“What can I say? Anastasiia won my cat, Julie's heart over. Julie does not like people, traveling or being alone so you can imagine the predicament. During our first meeting, Anastasiia walked in and Julie investigated, and let her be petted, immediately. I knew at that point.

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.

I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive and dependable, and I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and my goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both of you! So i currently am i xray tech and ma at Baptist urgent care in Little Rock, and my schedule is put out to where i work a couple days in a row, and then I’m off for a couple days and I get bored with those days I’m off and I want something I love to do! So in my house I have 3 dogs, I have a fenced in yard and I also have sun shade around my entire fence! My top priority is my dogs safety no matter what! And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!
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: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, specializing in dog sitting and dog walking. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My dog-sitting experience includes feeding, administering medications if needed, and providing a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. As a dog walker, I prioritize exercise and mental stimulation, tailoring walks to each dog’s energy level and needs. I am attentive to their behavior, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. My passion for animals and responsible approach make me a reliable and caring pet caregiver. Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling dog walking and sitting around my other responsibilities. I can set aside specific time slots each day for dog walks, ensuring that each pet gets the exercise and attention they need. For dog sitting, I can plan my schedule in advance to accommodate overnight stays or extended care, making sure I provide a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs. By balancing my commitments and being organized, I can efficiently manage pet care while still having time for personal tasks. Prioritizing consistency and flexibility allows me to provide reliable and loving care for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep the pet’s routine consistent. I provide companionship, regular walks, feeding, and any special care required, such as administering medication or grooming. I also ensure the home stays clean and secure, giving pet owners peace of mind while they are away. Whether in my home or theirs, my priority is to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.
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.

“I had never gotten anyone to watch our dog, Bonni, before (other than family) & so I was a little worried, but she did great with Scout and her family! Scout let us come out to her place ahead of time so Bonni could meet her and see where she would stay. Overall, communication was great, she kept me updated on how Bonni was doing with pictures, and I would 100% feel comfortable having her watch Bonni 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!!”

“We were so happy we found Jackie for our guy. This was our first time leaving Bean behind and we were anxious. Jackie took the time to pre-meet us and allowed us to see the interaction between the two. He then showed us his home backyard and family. He asked for notes, especially since being is on meds and any special needs Bean might have every day he sent us messages and pictures of Bean . Jackie is Bean’s friend. He became familiar with his ways, Bathroom behaviors and his insecurities, especially during the crazy weather if you need somebody loving and caring of your best friend, please reach out to Jackie. We are glad we did. Thanks, Traci”
“Mandy is awesome! She kept me updated daily and sent tons of pictures. My dog is super picky and a certified lap dog but she didn’t mind at all. It was a 30 minute drive for me but well worth it, this family is amazing! Thank you Mandy. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
