“Emily was absolutely amazing with our three dogs—Leroy, Adelaide, and Mug. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with pets. She took the time to learn each dog’s personality and needs. We appreciated the regular updates and photos while we were away—it gave us total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Emily kept their routine consistent, gave them plenty of love and attention, and left our home just as we left it. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“Breanna takes care of my three high energy dogs and keeps me updated with pictures on how they are doing. It helps me feel better to know she is checking in and taking care of them. She is also super responsive when I message her.”

“Emily was great with my shy kitty! She was able to get him to come out of hiding and even give him some head and belly pets, which is rare for him. Great communication also. Highly recommend.”

“We've booked Cassi multiple times for our cat, and she does amazing every time! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet stays happy even while you're away. Highly recommend utilizing Cassi's services”

“No complaints. She provided drop-in visits for my senior cat. Great sitter. Pictures were sent and communication was great. I recommend her without any reservation.”

“She spent a long time with my 2 doggies on her drop-in visit and kept me updated on if they had peed/pooped etc. I appreciate the pictures she sent and the extra time and cuddles she gave my 2 babies! I'll hire her again :)”

About: I have up to, if not more, than 1 year of pet experience. I was raised on a farm from the age of 13. I also have experience with dogs and cats alone as I use to be a dog bather and have my own cat. I plan to become a groomer fulltime as well as pet sitter. I am currently unemployed outside of Rover, I am looking to make Rover fulltime once I an get enough clients to keep me up financially. I am also looking to go to school to become a pet groomer. Currently,y schedule is open 24/7. No pet is ever too much! I live in a house with family currently, as I just moved back to the Fort Smith area. As of current, I am unable to do pet watching at my house so I offer house sitting + walk in visits, as well as dog walkin.
About: I grew up with dogs of my own, I take care of my friends’ dogs when they’re go on vacation, and I recently had a dog of my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and have had great experience with all of them. I am about to start back to school and have a lot of availability to help with dog-walking and pet sitting when needed. Including weekdays and weekends. I can abide by any feeding and exercise schedule for your pet. I know my cat loves attention, so I can provide lots of pets for your dog or cat as well. 😄
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve shared life with a collie, two Dobermans, a boxer, and a pair of West Highland White Terriers, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention — just like one of my own! I own my own cleaning business and manage an Airbnb, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day and can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, morning potty break, or evening cuddles, I can usually make it work. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities and keeping things organized, so you can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s routine. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they have fresh food and water, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away — and to give you total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Jennifer was wonderful with my cat. She communicated very well and kept me updated during her visits. When she had trouble finding my cat one day (because he was hiding way better that I thought he could), she took extra time to check the house thoroughly for him and made sure he had everything he needed before she left. Highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter in the area!”

About: 🐾 Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by horses, cattle, and chickens—and even lived on a fox farm. One of my most unique companions was Barbara, my pet fox, who won “Most Unusual Pet” at our state fair several years in a row! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets including dogs, cats (yes, even the hairless kind!), guinea pigs, fish, toads, and a couple of hermit crabs. I’m experienced in senior pet care and understand the importance of gentle handling and specialized attention, including administering medications both orally and via injection. I’m also well-versed in puppy care and potty training, and I’ll always follow your lead to maintain consistency with your pup’s routine. I have a special place in my heart for animals in need—many of my own pets have been rescues or strays. One unforgettable experience was taking in a pregnant stray cat who gave birth to eight kittens! It was chaotic, heartwarming, and absolutely worth it. I found loving homes for all the kittens, and the mama cat is still with me today. 🌿 For all overnight house-sitting stays, my rate includes a variety of helpful extras to keep your home running smoothly. I’ll check the mail, handle light tidying, water both indoor and outdoor plants, and even move that forgotten laundry from the washer to the dryer. I also provide basic pool upkeep, such as checking skimmers and topping off water levels. Consider it peace of mind while you're away—your pets and your home are in caring, capable hands. 🌟 Life threw me a curveball with an unexpected job loss, but I'm choosing to see it as an opportunity to pursue something I truly love—caring for pets, plants and your home! With a flexible schedule and a passion for animals, I'm available on short notice most days, evenings, weekends, and even holidays. If I'm going to take a pay cut, it’s going to be for something that brings me joy—and helping pet parents is exactly that. I'm excited to start building lasting relationships with clients and their furry companions! 🐾 Every pet is unique, and I tailor each drop-in visit to meet their individual needs. At a minimum, I ensure fresh water and food are provided, and I sanitize bowls daily to keep things clean and safe. I also will poop scoop (weather permitting) and check litter boxes. When it comes to exercise and play, I follow your pet’s favorite routine—whether that’s chasing a stream from the water hose, fetching a ball, soaking up belly rubs, or even going for a joyride. I’m happy to provide visit notes, photos, or any updates you’d like. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're at work, on vacation, or simply away—knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. 🌿 For all overnight house-sitting stays, my rate includes a variety of helpful extras to keep your home running smoothly.

About: Hello!! My name is Haylee Talbert and I am 21. I currently attend Arkansas Colleges of Health Education and I am studying a doctorate of occupational therapy. I have three cats and a bearded dragon. I would love to care for your animals! :) My schedule is a little different every week, but I would love to pick up some animal care jobs when available! Feel free to ask about my availability. I know first hand that leaving animals at home while traveling can be nerve wracking. I strive to provide communication and great care to help ease the nerves. I will always make sure your babies are loved and cared for under my care.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life — from Great Danes and English Bulldogs to even a little Frenchie. As an only child, I was the one who always took care of our puppies, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each dog’s unique personality. That love for animals eventually led me to my first job in the dog care business at McKinney Pet Suites, where I gained hands-on experience training and supervising dogs in daycare. I’m a full-time online student at the University of Arkansas–Fort Smith, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to adjust my time easily and be wherever I’m needed to make sure your pets get the best care and attention. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they would at their own home. I keep a clean, secure space for them to relax and play, with plenty of time for walks, attention, and cuddles. I always stick to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise so they feel calm and confident while their owners are away.
“This is really late for a review but is not a reflection on Taven. She was great with Boo the cat. Taven was flexible when I needed to add more days to the schedule. I will use Taven again and would recommend her to anyone. She was very helpful when Boo misbehaved and is just a great person!”
