“My dog Apollo loved his time at Beth's house. He was able to spend a lot of time playing in her fenced backyard, which is his favorite things to do, and Beth kept me updated regularly with pictures of him playing. We would definitely book with Beth again in the future.”
“This was my wife and I’s first time booking with Alycia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Alycia and her partner, Derek, were so welcoming and friendly, Thor seemed instantly comfortable in their home. Alycia provided thorough updates throughout Thor’s stay and was such a pleasure to communicate with. We will definitely be booking again and would absolutely recommend to others.”

“Buttercup really enjoyed her stay with Jamie! Jamie took great care of her and kept me posted with cute pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and will definitely call her next time my pup needs a sitter!”
“Lorri was great to work with. Zuma was happy and healthy on her return and I have no doubt Lorri treated Zuma as though she as her own. Lorri does a great job of keeping you updated with messages and photos while you are away. It's nice to have that assurance. Will will definitely book with Lorri for future needs.”
“Dawn was great! We receive updates and pics while we were gone and our dog was happy and healthy! Dawn cares a lot about dogs and was great with our rescue - would definitely recommend!”
“Melissa sent so many pictures throughout our boys stay. I could tell they were well cared for and having a good time in her big back yard. I was worried they won’t want to come back home 🤪. She is so communicative and made sure to follow all instructions. Will definitely have my boys there again.”
About: I have been around and had dogs since I was born. I have grown up among at least 2 dogs and a cat. I currently have 2 dogs. I currently work at a dog hygienist facility 8-5. Off Sundays, this is when I do all my grooming for my dogs as well as any dogs in my care. I have a fenced in yard where potty breaks are every few hours when I am home. When not home dogs will be kenneled and/or put up in my dog room where camera access is available.
“What a wonderful place for my pup to stay. Sophie had a wonderful time. The daily photos helped me not feel guilty about leaving Sophie. Jeanne is responsive and obviously cares about the dogs in her care. Thank You, Jeanne.”
“Tiffiny took great care of our puppy, Beemer! She even started working with him on a few commands and continued potty training him. He was a happy pup when I picked up! Thank you!”

“In addition to giving excellent care to our dog, Stephanie did a great job administering our dog’s medicines and keeping him on his restricted diet. We would definitely recommend Stephanie.”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Leslie! She is our go-to dog sitter. We get lots of pix and texts about our fur baby, and she always goes the extra mile. Whether it’s making sure the back steps are protected so your dog doesn’t slip, or buying an extra can of pumpkin because you didn’t send enough, Leslie will make sure your dog is cared for in the same way she cares for her own dog.”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”

About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I absolutely adore their unique personalities—from the chatty, attention-loving cats who want to be involved in everything, to the shy ones who just need someone patient enough to earn their trust. One of my favorite parts of caring for cats is learning what makes each one happy, whether that's playtime with a wand toy, a quiet lap to nap on, or simply sharing the same room together. There is nothing better than hearing a happy purr, getting slow blinks of trust, or being greeted with a little "meow" when I walk through the door. I believe great cat care is about much more than food and fresh water. I'm meticulous about keeping litter boxes clean, paying attention to changes in behavior or appetite, and making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll happily spend time playing, cuddling (if they want it!), brushing, or just providing calm companionship. My goal is for your cat to feel like they're spending time with a friend—not just someone stopping by to check a box. I'll also send plenty of updates and photos, because I know how reassuring it is to see your furry family member happy, relaxed, and purring while you're away.
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my kitty when I was away. My kitty had some vomiting issues before my trip and I had to change the frequency of visit last minute. She was able to accommodate the request no issues. She also made sure to let me know my kitty didn’t vomit in every visit summary. She did everything as I requested.”
“Amazing cat sitter! Qiyun/Kiki was so accommodating when we had to book our cat Lucy on very short notice. She took great care of her, sending regular pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would rate her 100 stars if I could ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely have your kitty stay here!”
About: Hi! We’re Lainie and Stephen, and we’ve been caring for dogs for years in our cozy home in Fenton near the Bluffs. We know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone you trust, so we focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pup who stays with us. Our laid-back dog Lucy loves having friends to play with, and we have a large fenced yard for plenty of exercise and outdoor time. We also have experience with senior dogs, administering oral medications, and caring for dogs with special needs. We treat every dog like part of the family and love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or a quieter environment, we do our best to make them feel right at home. 🐾 We live in a fully fenced home with a safe backyard, and both of us work primarily from home, so your dog is rarely left alone and always has attention and care. Our home is perfect for dogs who enjoy play, family interaction, and a predictable routine. We especially love hosting longer stays and repeat guests, giving dogs a comfortable, home-like environment while their families are away. We also have a cat who mostly stays downstairs, so all pets can feel at ease. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home and treat them like part of the family! My husband and I both work primarily from home so your pet would have around the clock care. Weekends and evenings kids are home for playtime! we have a fenced in backyard, and plenty of room inside for a crate and/or bed for your pet! plenty of room to safely roam around indoors or out.
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. She was easy to communicate with, arrived on time and followed the instructions that I provided. I have marked her as one of my favorites in Rover.”
“Sara took great care of both my cats, Jasper and Ella. She even went back to check on Ella when she was hiding, and sent me photo confirmation that gave me peace of mind. Reliable and caring highly recommend.”
“Having Linda drop in on my kitties everyday for 2 1/2 weeks has taken all the stress out of leaving them. Linda has been a wonderful pet sitter and their new best friend! Communication was excellent and I will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jamie. I’ve been working with dogs for over 14 years & have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities & needs. My passion is caring for medically fragile dogs, including those who are blind, deaf, or recovering from surgery. I’ve fostered over 25 different breeds of dogs (& over 75 dogs total) through CARE, APA, Even Chance Pit Bull Rescue, & Unchained Melodies since I started fostering in college. I am very active in the rescue world and previously have served on a board for a nonprofit animal rescue, so very experienced with rescue dogs. Dogs I have worked with come from many different & difficult situations including hoarding cases, neglect, abuse & organized fighting. I also have experience with other animals including cats & bunnies. I currently have 1 foster dog. I am a teacher, so during the school year I am away Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 3:45. During the summer (June through August), I am help with running a few kids to camps but otherwise am home & hanging out with the dogs all day. Dogs fit perfectly into my summer routine & get plenty of time to run around my fenced-in yard or relax inside if they are at my house for daycare or boarding. If I am swinging by for a drop in or walk, dogs also fit perfectly into my daily routine and are treated as if they were my own. For safety, I do require that dogs who stay at my house be crate trained. I crate dogs when I am not home to provide a calm, secure environment. I also have a camera on them for the short amount of time I am away so I know that they are always safe. When I am not working, I am home & fully focused on the dogs in my care. While staying with me, dogs have full access to my fenced yard & my home, but they are never left unattended. Please note that I am happy to schedule a meet & greet, but during this time I do not allow dogs from other homes to meet each other. Any current dogs in my home will remain crated. This allows your dog to settle in safely before exploring a new environment & helps prevent any unnecessary stress. Pets are treated like family whether they are staying in my home or I am visiting them at yours. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable & well cared for at all times. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress. This includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication if needed & plenty of playtime. I love sending photo & video updates so you can stay connected to your pet while you are away. For boarding in my home, I send one update every 24 to 48 hours. If you prefer more frequent updates, just let me know in advance. For drop-ins & walks, I send an update after each visit with pictures & a quick summary of how your pet is doing. I always make sure they get fresh water, bathroom breaks & attention based on their needs.
“Barbara was incredible. I can’t think of a better way to describe her. She brought toys to play with our cat Falcon. She was respectful with Pixel who is a grouchy old kitty cat. She did an excellent job communicating with us every day. I am beyond impressed. I am absolutely booking Barbara for our next vacation. She is the best sitter we have ever had.”
“Absolutely wonderful!! Danny and Jennifer were very communicative and quick to respond. They went above and beyond for our cat and I feel very comfortable leaving my little guy with them. 10/10 would request them again. Thanks for the amazing service!”
“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”
“Our three kitties loved her, usually the gray one is shy but he let her pet him right off the bat. Stephanie kept an open line of communication and was nice to work with. I will use her services again in the future.”
“Rebecca did a amazing job caring for my cat Benny . She even came out in very bad weather to do the drop in visit that I requested . She went above and beyond caring for him . I highly recommend her to care for any fur baby .”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, be it hamsters, rats, lizards, dogs, cats and even a parrot, I’ve been there. I’m currently in school looking to make some extra cash so let me know if you have a pet in need of care! I’d love to meet them. Experience includes: Dog walking for multiple clients (5+ years), pet sitting (5+ years), work at a dog cafe making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable (2+ years), and lots of experience owning and caring for exotic pets! I have a remote internship this summer so my schedule is completely flexible around your pets routine (and I have plenty of time to take your dog on long walks and outings) I care for pets in clients home only, as I am currently living at home and it’s a full house here pet-wise! But I’m a very considerate/clean guest and happy to stay in a clients home for however long is necessary.
“Second time in a row using Ella! She’s a wonderful pet sitter! My cats really love her! The photo updates she sends are the best! I will be using her again for sure! Thank you so much, Ella! You rock!”

“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”
“I cannot recommend Bhairavi highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Oakley felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly well-loved! It’s rare to find someone so responsible, kind, and attentive. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Bhairavi is the one. Bhairavi and Gary have a beautiful home and you will not find anyone better to love and care for your dog!! I will definitely be booking again!”
About: Charismatic and outgoing animal lover with 16 years experience owning pets, and hundreds of hours volunteering at the humane society in 3 different states. I grew up with cats, but could not own a dog until I moved out on my own, so I quickly got my first baby Alice the first chance I could. My fur babies include a 13 year old sweet beagle mix, Alice 🌈 and two gentle loving cats, Poppy and Millie. All of my animals have been around other animals their whole lives and get along with all creatures. I prefer not to board cats, but can keep your cat in a closed bedroom for their stay. I would love to open my doors to help out families in need of a more personal way to board their pets when they are away. Your animals must get along with cats and small children. I have a very flexible schedule so I have the ability to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on your pets individuals needs. My pets have free range of the house. Visitors dogs can be crated if needed or have free range of the house if ok left unsupervised.
About: I have had animals my entire life, dogs, cats, gerbils, ferrets, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish. I just love having animals and taking care of them. My job is flexible and I work from home most of the time so I can keep animals during the day and overnight. I will be able to take them on walks during the day. I can care for pets in my own home or come to your home to take care of them as needed. My back yard is huge and lots of room for dogs to run.
“I just got my first dog and was super nervous having someone watch him for the first time. Jeanne made it much easier and I feel very comfortable letting her watch my pup. I will be booking her again!”
About: So I just love dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and will never not have one. I work from home and am very physically active so my lifestyle works well with dogs as I am around to simply hang out with the dogs or go on long walks if needed! Luckily I work from home as an attorney and am able to provide many walks and attention throughout the day. I also live in an area with a lake and multiple dog parks. I am extremely attentive with any dogs that I take care of. I will provide sitting with care and attention and make sure your dog is safe and taken care of.
“Christina and her family were outstanding and took such good care of Sam. It was his first stay away from home and they made him feel welcome, took him on walks and treated him like one of their family. Thank you Christina!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for dogs and years of experience, including caring for seniors and special needs pups. I also have been a volunteer at Second Chance Ranch, a rescue for senior dogs. All new dogs require a meet-and-greet prior to booking. I specialize in calm, small-to-medium dogs up to 25 pounds (I will consider larger dogs up to 40 lbs if they are calm adult dogs who don’t pull on a leash) I am retired so will be with your pet most of the time. Occasionally I have to leave but never for more than a couple of hours. If you are a new client please use this code for $20 off your first booking LORRIM12299, https://www.rover.com/sit/lorrim12299 I’ll take great care of your pet—and give you peace of mind! Your pet will always be safe, whether on a leash, in the car with a seatbelt. I’ll send daily updates and photos, and we can address any concerns together so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have years of real life experience understanding their needs. I've cared for high energy dogs, shy dogs, large breeds, small breeds, and cats with unique personalities. I'm familiar with basic training, leash manners, and helping pets feel comfortable during new routines. I pay close attention to each pet's body language and make sure they feel secure. As of right now I am a full time pet sitter and am now accepting bookings for the fall season! I am happy to answer any questions you may have. In your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I stick to your feeding schedule, potty breaks, walk times, etc. I give plenty of cuddles, playtime, and positive attention, and I always make sure your home stays clean and tidy. I send updates and photos during every visit so you know exactly how your pet is doing.
“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”
About: My wife and I are a dedicated pet-loving team who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, and my wife is a trained veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in Mexico. She’s currently working as a vet tech as she works towards the ECFVG certification which will allow her to practice as a veterinarian here in the U.S., bringing a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every visit. We currently share our home with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 9 chickens, and 2 turkeys—so we’re no strangers to pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and kind, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with us. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and care throughout the day. I’m often outside with our own dogs, so your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My wife works four days a week but is home in the mornings and afternoons, so between the two of us, someone is almost always around to give your pet the attention they need. Whether your dog loves being active or just relaxing with company, they’ll feel right at home here. Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We have a fenced backyard where smaller dogs can roam safely. For larger dogs, we use a secure tie-out cable system to give them outdoor time while keeping them safely contained. Inside the home, we can easily separate pets if needed—our basement and main living area are fully divided, making it simple to create calm, stress-free environments for each animal. Our chickens and turkeys are kept in a fully enclosed outdoor coop, well away from visiting pets, so there’s no risk of unwanted interactions. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, secure, and attentive environment
About: Hi my name is Hattie and I would love to watch your pup!! I have grown up with dogs all my life and have had a lot of experience watching dogs of all sizes and ages (and cats too!!). I currently have a 6 year old Italian Greyhound who is full of energy and would absolutely love to play with your pup if they’re up for it! I am a night shift nurse and my fiancée works from home so our schedule can be a little weird, but there’s almost always someone home. I would be happy to watch your dog, stop by to visit, or take them on a walk or to the dog park. Let me know how I can help you and your dog! Message me with any questions you have:) I currently work night shift three nights a week where I am gone all night but my boyfriend works at home during the day so there’s always someone home! I have a fenced yard that is fortified to keep my own 10lb dog from slipping through! She likes to come in and out all day and lounge on the deck when it’s nice out.
“This was Cooper’s first time with Lucy and although he was nervous at first that was very short lived! I really appreciated the way Lucy worked to make him feel comfortable before I left. I could tell he was thoroughly enjoying himself in the videos she sent and when we made it back home he barely made it through the door before passing out! Would highly recommend :)”
“Reema was amazing! Her pup and mine played so well together, it was the perfect play date! She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would trust Reema to watch our girl again in a heartbeat ☺️”

About: We are both former English teachers who have nothing to do now that we’re retired. What better way to spend our time than to help you with your pets. We've had pets our whole lives. We're available to drop in and care for your pets. Our inspiration is our own experience with finding someone to care for our animals during vacations, obligations, etc. As teachers, we were trusted in the classroom for 30 years each. You can certainly trust us with your pets. We're loving, nurturing and would love to help you with your animals.
About: I used to pet-sit. Worked at a day-care a while ago. I've worked and interacted with all types of dogs. I enjoy what I do. I actually get really excited when working with dogs. I know they're a lot to handle sometimes but I feel like they're great fun to work with and they always make me feel better. My favorite types of dogs include Boxers, Miniature Schnauzers, Miniature Pinschers. I like all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am really into playing fetch with dogs. I also don't mind playing with rope toys. They might tear my arms off but hey! It builds character! I'm very easy-going and I feel like with dogs you have to have a great sense of humor and enjoy the trade in order to work with them. I hope you consider me for some of your services. I look forward to chatting with you over the phone, internet, or in person! Also, I have a sweet little Mitten cat (her name is Mittens). She's a blue tortoise cat with these little white Mitten paws. My father has a black Maltese poodle named Beau... The sweetest dog in the world. I used to live with him and we were the best of friends. We still are. But we just don't see each other as much. That's who you see me with in my photos. I have pretty much open availability. I am comfortable doing overnight visits and morning/afternoon/evening walks. I'm currently in the process of trying to build clientele so I'm more flexible now than I might be in the future. But my long-term goal is to make this a full time 8 hour day. The 8-hour schedule block will entirely depend upon demand though. Whether it's broken up into different times of the day with a break in between or a full 8 hours non-stop, entirely depends upon when clients need availability. The number one most important thing about pet care is communication though. Between the owner and me. The sooner we know things, the better. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I currently provide care exclusively in my clients' homes because I believe most pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their home helps keep their routine consistent, reduces stress, and allows me to focus entirely on giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whenever possible, I love to schedule a meet-and-greet before the booking begins. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become comfortable with me, and for me to learn about their personality, routines, favorite activities, quirks, medications, and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care. I firmly believe that in pet care, overcommunicating is always better than undercommunicating. I'd much rather ask one extra question than make an assumption, and you can expect prompt responses, regular photo and video updates, and complete transparency throughout your time away. While I would be comfortable offering boarding in the future, I currently choose not to because I share my home with a beloved cat. My decision isn't out of concern for her behavior—it's simply because I don't want to bring unfamiliar dogs into her space. By focusing exclusively on house sitting, I can give your pets individualized care in the environment where they feel safest and most at ease, while ensuring every animal in my care is comfortable, secure, and happy.
“This is the second time I’ve hired Amber for dog walking and just like the previous time, she did a great job, She’s very skilled with my senior dog and her visits are usually the highlight of my dog’s day. She’s reliable and efficient, with great communication through the Rover app. I highly recommend Amber!”
“We’ve been using Ryan’s services for several weeks now and our older pup Scooter loves her so much :) She’s very understanding of his health problems and treats him with care. Ryan is the best!”
About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
About: I’ve lived with pets (cats and dogs) since I was born, and I’ve been caring for them my entire adult life. In my spare time I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, large dogs, small dogs, chill dogs, energetic dogs, and everything in between. I am comfortable with training techniques and understanding animal body language and cues. I am a teacher by trade, so I am very organized, dependable, and patient. I have a very open summer. There are some camp drop offs and pick ups I need to account for this summer, but outside of that, the days are wide open. At my house I have a dog friendly medium sized dog. I have a six foot fenced yard. I also have the capability to keep pets on different floors or in different areas if they need space or privacy. I know how to be respectful of other people’s homes and am very comfortable adapting to different pets’ needs, especially since volunteering at the shelter.
About: As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up! Since I am taking a land break, my schedule is very open! I enjoy my time at the gym, but other than that I don’t have many routine commitments. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I love all animals. If you need a caregiver for your friend I'm the one. I'm opened to days/nights weekend and holidays. Will travel too. I currently only work one day a week outside my home, the rest I work from home I would love a friend to hang out with, or take a break with. I will provide a loving fun time for your pet. My dog died two years ago and I really miss having a pet to love. I'm also available for plant care I can work with your schedule if needed. I also do drop bys, too. I love getting out, walking, and playing with doggies, cat, and any pet. I have a new fence and it has a access with no steps for my older doggies. There is also ramps for those shorter dogs.

About: Charismatic and outgoing animal lover with 16 years experience owning pets, and hundreds of hours volunteering at the humane society in 3 different states. I grew up with cats, but could not own a dog until I moved out on my own, so I quickly got my first baby Alice the first chance I could. My fur babies include a 13 year old sweet beagle mix, Alice 🌈 and two gentle loving cats, Poppy and Millie. All of my animals have been around other animals their whole lives and get along with all creatures. I prefer not to board cats, but can keep your cat in a closed bedroom for their stay. I would love to open my doors to help out families in need of a more personal way to board their pets when they are away. Your animals must get along with cats and small children. I have a very flexible schedule so I have the ability to care for your pet throughout the day, depending on your pets individuals needs. My pets have free range of the house. Visitors dogs can be crated if needed or have free range of the house if ok left unsupervised.
About: I have had a dog my entire life growing up. My parents relied on me to take care of my childhood dog and I learned so much just by doing that. I am now 30 and got my own puppy about four years ago. I lover her so much! I give her biweekly baths, daily walks and hourly playtime! Whether it is a walk, daycare or overnight stay, you can trust me to love and care for your pup! I am a teacher so I have the summers off to take care of your dog! I like to wake up early and take my own dog on a walk to start my day. I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced in yard and mini Bernedoodle who loves all dogs! I am very responsible and my house and yard are extremely dog friendly.
About: I’ve always been around animals and have always had animals, mostly dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs with special diets and ones that have needed insulin shots before too I’m at home now, and attended the University of Arkansas this previous year so my daily life included a lot of activity. I would love to be able to continue that with your dogs on walks! I do babysit 3-4 days a week during the summer but will always find time for your your fur babies! I have a big fenced yard and 1 of my own dogs, an English bulldog! My dog loves to swim in the pond near my house and loves other dogs as well! I will follow all of the pets needs and instructions from their owner.
About: Hi, I’m Bella - I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. From energetic labs to a calm shorkie to now a loud doberman husky mix, I have loved every second of it!. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s what inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine (I’m currently in school to become a vet!). Whether your pup loves long walks or hikes, belly rubs, or just a cozy buddy to hang out with while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that every dog is unique, and I make sure to always be attentive to their needs, routines, and quirks. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like one of my own! Even with a part-time job and an internship, I make sure to prioritize time for pet care. I typically have mornings, evenings, and most weekends free for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pup. I’m flexible and can work with your routine to ensure they’re let out, exercised, and cared for when they need it most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a stroll around the neighborhood, or a long hike to burn off energy, I’m happy to make it work—just let me know what your dog needs! I always tailor my care to what each individual animal needs—whether that means creating a calm, soothing environment for a more relaxed or anxious pup, or providing a playful, energetic space for dogs who love to stay active and engaged. I believe in meeting animals where they’re at and making sure they feel safe, understood, and happy. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, so your pup will have the option to socialize if they’re comfortable with it. Whether your dog is a cuddler, a ball-chaser, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. If your pet needs extra medical care, I’m experienced with that too. I currently administer fluids to a friends cat and regularly handle medications and fluids through my wildlife care internship. I’m confident, gentle, and always follow instructions closely to make sure your pet stays healthy, calm, and comfortable.

About: I have been around and had dogs since I was born. I have grown up among at least 2 dogs and a cat. I currently have 2 dogs. I currently work at a dog hygienist facility 8-5. Off Sundays, this is when I do all my grooming for my dogs as well as any dogs in my care. I have a fenced in yard where potty breaks are every few hours when I am home. When not home dogs will be kenneled and/or put up in my dog room where camera access is available.
