“They took great care if my Blakelynn. She fell in Love with them in the 1st meet visit. So I wasn't as worried to leave her for the first time. She is a handful but Leisha & Elijah took great care of Blakelynn. I would definitely recommend them to take care if your fur baby!! Just make sure they can handle little kids.”

“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!”
“Hannah was amazing with my sweet baby girl Lily! She even trimmed her nails because I was too chicken to do it! Hannah sent lots of updates and pics to help keep my mind and heart at ease when I was out of the country. I have such appreciation for the love she showed mah lil angel and am grateful I have a safe and fun place to bring Lily the next time I leave for another adventure :)”
“We were very comforted leaving our dog, Jack, with Jennifer and her family. He had a long 10 day stay with them. We loved the pictures she sent and the update as to how his day was going. We felt he was well taken care of and that was a huge deal for us. Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“Thank you for taking a great care of Marven. We very much appreciated that you sent us pictures of her with an update daily, which helped us feel at ease that Marven was happy and well-taken care of. Thank YOU!!”
“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!”
“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”
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.
“Mandy took care of our mini Goldendoodle over the weekend and she was amazing! She offered to set up a meet and greet, and then during the stay she sent lots of updates and pictures that made us feel so much better! You can just tell how much she loves pets and how much attention and love they get while staying with her! We will for sure be using her again.”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“This was my first time using Rover since my Vet was booked, I came across Julissa and she was very flexible with my last minute needs and flexible with my drop off and pick up times. She provided updates as needed along with photos of playtime, walks and was very responsive when I wanted to check in on my pup. Hopefully she will let us come back if needed! 😊”
“We can't say enough about the care and kindness of Rebekah and Billy, a dog whispering dynamic duo! We rarely leave our mini schnauzer with anyone but family, as he's becoming a grouch in his elder years and is very high maintenance. However, he's a member of our family, and we were feeling anxious about leaving him. Rebekah put us at ease sending tons of daily photos, and we were all shocked to see our notoriously cranky pup snuggled up to Billy!! Wow!! These two are dog lovers and sweet people who will take great care of your pet. They even will have a literal welcome sign waiting!”
“This woman was a absolute gem of a sitter! Went above and beyond for my two huskies ! A much needed vacation was on the horizon, and I had no one to watch my beautiful pups. And she came through and gave them a awesome experience, I strongly suggest booking Joanne for your sitting needs!”
“Amber was able to accommodate us with a last minute request. This was our second time to have our dog stay with her. He does well with Amber. I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone needing dog boarding services.”
“Always a fantastic job that he does taking care of our dog he loves to go there and play with his friends comes home always wore out from such a good time Thank you for the time that you spend with him”
“Dawn and her husband were absolutely outstanding. Very nice people and made Pepper feel like she was at home. I never had any worries about leaving my dog with them for the week. They treated her like she was their very own. It made my trip better just knowing that she was in great care. Dawn updated me every day with pictures and kept me informed on how she was doing. I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to her if and when I need a dog sitter. A+”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of several dogs of varying age, size, energy levels, and shyness.

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. 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.
“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!!!”
About: I grew up with cats. I rescued Hidey a few years ago, a grey kitten who was very shy but is now quite outgoing. I cat-sat through college and am hoping to get back into it. I've had experience with shy cats, lap cats, lazy cats, and cats that get the zoomies and bounce around the room. When I stop by I’ll make sure they have food, water, a clean litter box, and try to play with them or cuddle them if they’re interested. Would love to play or snuggle with your cat or check on your shy cat from afar.
“Katie did drop-in visits for our cats. She was quick to answer questions prior to booking, and her daily updates kept me at ease while on vacation. I would definitely book her again.”
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!
“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. During my trip, Anastasiia sent updates and pictures of Julie playing and basking outside. I didn't have to worry about what was happening at home. If you are looking for a pet whisperer, Anastasiia is your sitter.”
About: I am very passionate about animals and I absolutely love dogs and cats. I have grown up around dogs all my life, and I got my first dog at 16. I have been taking care of my fur baby Max ever since. I understand that being away can be tough on both pets and their owners, but my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you and your pets. Before pet sitting on Rover, I worked with children of all ages at a daycare. I am currently a medical scribe and full time college student. My services include checking on pets at your home and walking while on their stay. While you are away, I will send you daily updates and pictures of your fur babies to give you peace of mind.I usually care for animals in the comfort of their own home, and I make it a priority to gather all the necessary information to ensure that your pet experiences minimal disruption to their routine. I am currently a college student and scribe. I will typically be free after 11 am on most day during the week. I will be free on most weekends after 9 am. Before booking, I like to get a good understanding of your dog's behavior. Please let me know if your pet has any aggression (toward food, toys, etc.), unique quirks, or separation anxiety that makes it difficult for them to be left alone. It's also important to understand how your dog reacts to other dogs, in case of any unexpected encounters during walks. I’d love to meet your dog while you're present to gather as many details as possible about their daily routine. This helps me ensure minimal disruption while you're away. I will treat your pet like my own and I prefer written instructions to maintain their regular schedule. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in good hands. If your pet has any special needs or behaviors, please let me know. For example, if they have an anxiety jacket for thunderstorms, please share where I can find it, along with any other items I might need to care for them properly.

“First time taking my 5 month old dachshund to daycare and it was a great experience! She got lots of love and attention. They even sent a picture!! I highly recommend booking with Samantha & Michael!”
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 :)
“I think my Max is in the lap of luxury with Ranee and her mom. He has the run of the place, can look out the window, gets lots of attention. Thank you, Ranee, for taking such good care of my boy.”
About: Caring for animals is my life’s passion and my favorite thing to do. I make sure every animal I meet feels loved. The time I spend with animals is very therapeutic for me. I have 4 years of experience with animal care! I started off with one neighbor who needed me to drop in and check on her dogs. I fell in love and I have been doing this ever since. I am always looking for new opportunities to bond with pets. I can easily match their energy to cater to their needs. I will play, rub, or provide outside time as long as they want. If needed I can help with training basic commands. I also have experience administering oral and injected medication with dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so I am very flexible with timing. I love caring for and being in the presence animals so I will try my best to accommodate your schedule. I pay attention to what animals are trying to communicate with me whether they are anxious or just want their own space. Animals can sense that they can trust me and trust goes a long way when caring for them. I am very careful and cautious. Safety is my top priority.

“So very thankful for all fur parents making a review about Ms Lisa and her care! It made the decision to go with her as our piper's care giver for the day. Ms. Lisa thank you from the bottom my family's heart for loving our sweet girl like family. The picture and updates were great. Piper learning to use the doggie dog as made us invest in o e for her. She LOVED playing with all her friends. She is still wore out the next day after a wonderful day playing. Your yard and home are beautiful.

About: I've cared for animals since I was a preteen, having my own dog since 2013—well versed in all things dog, and I live less than five minutes from the nearest 24-hour emergency vet clinic. My pets are my life! I have a cat (10 lbs, female) and a dog (small terrier, 15 lbs, female) who are both spayed and socialized with other animals. The dog, Chanel, is especially fond of other dogs who are friendly, regardless of size. My cat's name is Ellie, a domestic shorthair, and she mostly stays away when there's another dog over. I have fostered dogs and kittens with local rescue groups as well as Little Rock Animal Village (LRAV). I am also a registered volunteer with LRAV. I'm currently working from home for the most part, other than going to a client meeting sometimes. I have cameras throughout the downstairs, where the animals will stay if I am gone. However, I spend quite a lot of time at home, which places me in a great position to be available to care for my pets and any guests I'm caring for, be it a foster, overnight or a board. I have a fenced-in yard, can go outside with the dogs, and I have a neighborhood that's walkable if that's a needed service. If I'm caring in a client's home, I go by their instructions and do not mind being flexible and keeping lines of communication open. I know pet anxiety, and sometimes we just want a little pic of our babies before bed. :)
About: I’ve helped friends take care of there for children. I’m very laid-back. I have three kids ages 10, 7 & 5 I have one dog. Gets along with people and other animals she is older but still pretty spunky. Her name is Max. She’s a little terrier mix. I do work overnights, but not for very long only 5 hours . I am home in the mornings afternoons and evening. Except the occasional appointments I have a bit fenced in yard that wraps around the house with a friendly but shy dog named Max. She is a terrier mix older. I have three kids ages 10,7&,5 they are a little loud and rambunctious, but nothing uncontrollable. They all three love dogs. They are a little cautious, which is always good. My mom has been doing this and I have been at her house with dogs that she has doggysitted.
About: I have been a familiar face to many families and their animals for eight years as a nanny. I've also always had a furry friend in my own home! I enjoy taking dogs on walks, being lazy with cats, and caring for them in between. I would love to help you out by taking care of your animals when needed. A weekend a way, or a mid day check in while you're at work. Your pets will be in good hands with me. Thank you! Checking in on your fur babies during the day and weekends are no problem at all! Reach out with any questions or concerns regarding your pets. I would prefer to keep an eye on your fur babies in the comfort of their home! Having their parents gone is already stressful enough, much less switching up the environment.
“This was my first time using Rover for any services and I really liked it. I left my 6 month old puppy, Ollie, with Andrew and I think Ollie was pretty happy and I even got a couple of pictures. I was a bit nervous just because Ollie has never been with anyone else, much less another dog, for a long period of time but he seem pretty tired when I picked him up and he slept throught the whole night!”

About: I am a very responsible and loving pet owner. Growing up around cats and dogs my entire life, I understand that each pet has their own unique needs. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. :) I am currently a med student, so my schedule is very flexible. I hope to work with you to best meet you and your pets needs. I currently have two cats, so providing care for your pet in my home may not be the best option depending on your pets comfort level. If I were to care for your pet in your home, I will respect your home and ensure your pet is cared for in any way needed.
About: I have taken care of multiple different types of dogs and cats. I have taken care of a husky/german shepard puppy from 2 months old to present day. I’ve also watched neighbors dogs and house sat for one of my friends while they at the beach. I love animals and would love to take care of yours! I am currently in college at UCA and my schedule is pretty flexible! I do have class for a couple hours a day and then have nothing to do except focus on your fur babies! I have a fur baby at home who loves friends of any kind! We could all go on walks together and I could take them to the dog park! I love all animals and would love to take care of yours!
About: We have had experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to to okder fur babies. We love meeting and getting to love on your fur babies! I am currently taking online classes so I will be home and available most days for your pet-care needs. My schedule can be fairly flexible. Dogs are allowed on our furniture and in the bed. We have a large yard (unfenced), but don't worry, your pets will not be left unattended or in harm's way!
“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 have been raised around little dogs and big dogs. I worked on a farm so I have experience with larger animals, dogs and cats. Have pet-sat for friends I am currently in college. I am unavailable on Thursdays, but other than that, I am completely available in afternoons and some hours in the morning. I will make sure to follow any instructions that you provide. I can crate, let out, go on walks, take to park, feed together or seperate. I will make sure your animals get the best care and to listen to what you have to say.
About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends for my whole life. I also worked as a dog groomer. I am trained to see emergencies in dogs and understand their body language and boundaries to keep us both safe. I am currently unemployed so I can be with your pets at any time. I do have pets myself I will be checking in on! I can crate your dog if needed, keep them leashed or in your yard. Same with cats. I'll work with you and the animal to keep them safe and happy.

“Our two dogs had a great time with Samantha and her family. They got plenty of attention and plenty of play time. Samantha will be our first choice from now on!!”
“They took great care if my Blakelynn. She fell in Love with them in the 1st meet visit. So I wasn't as worried to leave her for the first time. She is a handful but Leisha & Elijah took great care of Blakelynn. I would definitely recommend them to take care if your fur baby!! Just make sure they can handle little kids.”
“Bonnie did an incredible job watching our two dogs over Thanksgiving week! She is very responsive, communication is great, super sweet to our pups, sent lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend her. She has a fully fenced in yard that our dogs loved running and playing in.”
“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!”
“Hannah was amazing with my sweet baby girl Lily! She even trimmed her nails because I was too chicken to do it! Hannah sent lots of updates and pics to help keep my mind and heart at ease when I was out of the country. I have such appreciation for the love she showed mah lil angel and am grateful I have a safe and fun place to bring Lily the next time I leave for another adventure :)”
“We were very comforted leaving our dog, Jack, with Jennifer and her family. He had a long 10 day stay with them. We loved the pictures she sent and the update as to how his day was going. We felt he was well taken care of and that was a huge deal for us. Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“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!”
“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”
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.
“Mandy took care of our mini Goldendoodle over the weekend and she was amazing! She offered to set up a meet and greet, and then during the stay she sent lots of updates and pictures that made us feel so much better! You can just tell how much she loves pets and how much attention and love they get while staying with her! We will for sure be using her again.”
About: What sets me apart is that I focus on helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the household while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both younger and older dogs, including pets that need a calmer environment, extra patience, or more frequent bathroom breaks. I try to keep pets on a consistent routine and pay attention to their behavior, comfort, and energy level so I can adjust care to their needs. I also understand how important communication is for pet parents, so I provide regular updates, photos, and short videos during their stay. Pets in my care are treated with kindness, supervision, and respect. I aim to create a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure rather than stressed or isolated. I structure my schedule to ensure pets are never left alone many hours at a time. I make it a priority to ensure pets are fed, visited regularly, given plenty of attention, and made to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their parents are away I treat pets like part of the family and work to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are in my care. In my home, pets are welcome in the common living areas so they can feel relaxed and included. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and provide regular walks, playtime, attention, and companionship throughout the day based on each pet’s needs and routine.
“This was my first time using Rover since my Vet was booked, I came across Julissa and she was very flexible with my last minute needs and flexible with my drop off and pick up times. She provided updates as needed along with photos of playtime, walks and was very responsive when I wanted to check in on my pup. Hopefully she will let us come back if needed! 😊”
“We can't say enough about the care and kindness of Rebekah and Billy, a dog whispering dynamic duo! We rarely leave our mini schnauzer with anyone but family, as he's becoming a grouch in his elder years and is very high maintenance. However, he's a member of our family, and we were feeling anxious about leaving him. Rebekah put us at ease sending tons of daily photos, and we were all shocked to see our notoriously cranky pup snuggled up to Billy!! Wow!! These two are dog lovers and sweet people who will take great care of your pet. They even will have a literal welcome sign waiting!”
“This woman was a absolute gem of a sitter! Went above and beyond for my two huskies ! A much needed vacation was on the horizon, and I had no one to watch my beautiful pups. And she came through and gave them a awesome experience, I strongly suggest booking Joanne for your sitting needs!”
“Amber was able to accommodate us with a last minute request. This was our second time to have our dog stay with her. He does well with Amber. I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone needing dog boarding services.”
“Dawn and her husband were absolutely outstanding. Very nice people and made Pepper feel like she was at home. I never had any worries about leaving my dog with them for the week. They treated her like she was their very own. It made my trip better just knowing that she was in great care. Dawn updated me every day with pictures and kept me informed on how she was doing. I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to her if and when I need a dog sitter. A+”
“Mowgli had such a great time with Maru P. She and her family were so patient with him (and his drool)! While it was too hot for many walks, they made sure Mowgli was engaged by playing with the hose (Mowgli loves water). He also enjoyed the resident canines. That they so easily accepted this bouncy pig tells me how well-socialized they are. Maru was great at communicating with me, and she took my concerns that Mowgli not over do himself very seriously. He came home balanced - not exhausted and not overstimulated - which is exactly what I'm looking for in a sitter. We will be booking again!”
“I think King may have enjoyed his stay, I am unable to tell otherwise lol. Thank you all for taking on such a tall task, I couldn’t have done it without you guys! King would love to play with Lance again!”
“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.”
