Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ward
“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!”
“Once again, Mowgli had a great stay with Rachel & Scotty! They really took great care of my little boy, he seemed so happy and like he was having a good time in the updates. Really appreciate their quality of care!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was a wildlife rehabilitator for Arkansas Game and Fish, so I learned early on how to nurse injured and sick animals back to health with patience and compassion. From bottle feeding baby animals to helping with their recovery, I developed a deep respect for all creatures. In 2020, I began working with my stepmom at a petting zoo, where I had the amazing opportunity to train under a veterinarian. There, I learned how to administer medication, care for injuries, and provide emergency treatments like fluids and splints. This hands on experience gave me confidence and knowledge to handle all kinds of situations. I also worked at a busy doggy daycare, caring for up to 40 dogs daily and providing overnight care for boarders. Managing so many furry friends taught me how to stay calm, organized, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. It also led me to truly be able to read body language and when to insert myself to prevent any unwanted interactions. I love creating a fun, safe environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. Now I am a personal protection/working dog trainer in training! It has taught me so much about how a dog’s brain works and how to best attack any situation with confidence! Overall, my experience combines a lifelong love of animals with professional training and real world skills; so I can promise that your pet will be in great hands! Right now, I am almost fully available for pet care! I work M-F 8:30-3:30, but your pet will get my full attention while I am with them! Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or last minute needs, I've got the time and energy to give them all of the love, play, and care they deserve! When I am caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely; whether that means feeding schedules, walks, meds, cuddles, or quiet time. I'm super respectful of your space and I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away!
“Very thankful for Tammy; our regular sitter was out for the weekend and we already made plans. Tammy stepped up on short notice and gave us great peace of mind. We have found our ‘new’ regular sitter!! Thanks, Tammy!!”
“Trinity is awesome. She kept us updated with pictures and comments every day. Our dog is very shy and sometimes has a hard time trusting people, but she adjusted very well and made herself at home fast. I highly recommend Trinity.”
“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!”
“Laura was so good to Punkin. She has kept Punkin for day sitting and now for an over night, both making us very comfortable knowing she is caring for our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“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! ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes since I was twelve years old. I have a dog of my own who is my best friend and I understand the feeling of leaving them in another person’s care. I will treat your dog with the love and friendliness as I do my own. Weekends are the best for me to take care of your animal, as I have a full time job. I am free in the morning until 6:30 and in the evenings starting at 5:30 I have a 6yo hound mix who is the friendliest boy to all animals. He would love to keep your dog company. I have a safe area outside to walk the dogs on a leash as well as a fenced in back yard for some fun!
“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”
“Naomi is the best! Takes great care of my pup and is our go to provider for frequent travel. She is very flexible , stays in contact and provides update as requested. Judging by how excited dog gets when she sees her, I know my dog is in good hands whenever Naomi has her.”
“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:)”
“So so wonderful knowing that our dog was well taken care of with a wonderful person who understands and loves dogs. We will reach out to Amber first the next time we need to go out of town.”

About: I've spent my entire life around dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has always had at least one dog in the household-right now we have four-so I've experienced almost every stage of canine care. I raised my own goldendoodle, Paisle, through an extremely energetic puppy phase, and I've also cared for senior dogs, including our family cocker spaniel who faced health issues and became sensitive in his later years. I am comfortable handling both large dogs and small breeds. This lifelong, hands-on experience helps me understand each dog's unique needs and provide patient, reliable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for multiple dogs at home. I keep a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and individual attention, so adding another pet into my routine feels natural. I’m also a full-time student, but during the summer I’m not busy with classes, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. Whether it’s daily care or weekly check-ins, I’m organized, reliable, and always make sure each pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each dog’s needs and routine. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate training, or preferred walking routes. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I’m patient with dogs who are shy, high-energy, or adjusting to a new space. I also keep communication open with frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that helps your dog feel as secure with me as they do with you.
“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! She was always on time and sent me adorable pictures with every visit. One of my cats is very shy and scrambles under the bed when visitors show up, but she grew to trust Mackenzie over a few days. Aside from her ability to take care of pets, she's also a wonderful human being. When my flights got messed up and I had to return a day later than I anticipated, she was very understanding and willing to check on the cats that morning. Highly recommend booking Mackenzie!”

About: I have 6 years of professional experience working with animals. Most of this knowledge is from working as a veterinary technician at a 24 hour emergency facility treating dogs and cats. I have also worked as a vet tech in a general practice that treated anywhere from dogs and cats to iguanas and chickens! This professional background has granted me the ability to care for a broad spectrum of animals, regardless of age or special need. I am comfortable with administering medications and/or therapies as needed. My true passion is being there for animals and giving them a voice when they need it most. I grew up with animals in my life starting at a young age. My childhood dog was a miniature poodle named Izzy. We shared 13 wonderful years together before she inevitably passed. I learned from her what true love and friendship could be from a pet. Fast forward to today, my husband and I currently share our home with an old English bulldog named Squish, a French bulldog named Oscar, and a short haired little kitty named Wanda. Squish is our wisest and oldest of the bunch at around 9-10 years old. We rescued her when she was 2 years old and she has helped teach our other fur babies the ropes! If you feel I am a great fit for your family and needs, shoot me a message! I would love to meet your furry(and not so furry) companions. My schedule is quite flexible and I can easily stay in touch with owners. I have reliable transportation 24/7 and do not mind running for pup cups! We currently own a home with a fenced in yard. The neighborhood is very pet friendly, and has pup-allowed walking trails just a few minutes away.
About: I have been house sitting for 16 years and have loved animals my whole life. I follow pacific instructions that the owner have. I play with the dogs, cuddle with the dogs, and get very attached to all the ones I watch. I treat them as they are my own. My friends I house sit for trust me very much and fight over me when they go on Vacation at the same time. House sitting is my hobby, and I am very passionate about it because I love dogs so much. I do work Full- Time at Pathfinders during the week and have some doctors appointments, but I make sure the dogs are taking care of between my schedule. I always work them in. :)
About: I grew up with cats and fell in love with dogs when I started fostering in 2021. I've volunteered with animal shelters as a cat care specialist and dog walker working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and training levels. Energy, safety, excellent communication, and genuine care are guaranteed on every visit. As a work-from-home freelancer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Though I travel often on the weekends, ask about availability! I can make any time of day work to suit your fur baby's schedule. I take gentle but firm care of fur babies of all sizes. Your escape artist won't get past me, and your scaredy cat will still get the attention they deserve. I'm experienced in pilling cats and dogs and happy to provide brushing or playtime after their basic needs are taken care of. Fetch is one of my favorite activities in the whole world.

I am a part time employee at Cocos Mexican restaurant. I can sit any day throughout the week Sunday-Saturday. Sitting does not affect my routine at all, I plan my weeks to fit sitting for pets I like to make sure that animals are fed and happy. I believe that if I want to eat and drink during the day, then surely my pet does too. I enjoy the sunlight and I’ll sit outside with your pet until they’re ready to come in. I’m not a party person nor do I like to be around a lot of people. I like my area to be clean so I can assure that when you return the house will be just as you left it if not cleaner.

“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 caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was a wildlife rehabilitator for Arkansas Game and Fish, so I learned early on how to nurse injured and sick animals back to health with patience and compassion. From bottle feeding baby animals to helping with their recovery, I developed a deep respect for all creatures. In 2020, I began working with my stepmom at a petting zoo, where I had the amazing opportunity to train under a veterinarian. There, I learned how to administer medication, care for injuries, and provide emergency treatments like fluids and splints. This hands on experience gave me confidence and knowledge to handle all kinds of situations. I also worked at a busy doggy daycare, caring for up to 40 dogs daily and providing overnight care for boarders. Managing so many furry friends taught me how to stay calm, organized, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. It also led me to truly be able to read body language and when to insert myself to prevent any unwanted interactions. I love creating a fun, safe environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. Now I am a personal protection/working dog trainer in training! It has taught me so much about how a dog’s brain works and how to best attack any situation with confidence! Overall, my experience combines a lifelong love of animals with professional training and real world skills; so I can promise that your pet will be in great hands! Right now, I am almost fully available for pet care! I work M-F 8:30-3:30, but your pet will get my full attention while I am with them! Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or last minute needs, I've got the time and energy to give them all of the love, play, and care they deserve! When I am caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely; whether that means feeding schedules, walks, meds, cuddles, or quiet time. I'm super respectful of your space and I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away!
“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!”
“Laura was so good to Punkin. She has kept Punkin for day sitting and now for an over night, both making us very comfortable knowing she is caring for our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!”

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