UPDATE: "Thanksgiving" and "Christmas Eve” is booked.
I provide "Professional In Home Dog Sitting Services" to professionals in the Central Arkansas area. I primarily broker through Rover.Com from Seattle, WA but also accept independent clients as well. In Central Arkansas, I can be located the the Rover.Com registry by typing ZIP CODE 72116.
Information about Rover.Com's website, fees and payment information is provided at the end of this article.
I live in the North Little Rock, AR area and travel a 30-mile radius. That includes Benton, Bryant, Otter Creek, Chenal, Heights, Cammack Village, Quapaw, Downtown, North Little Rock, Jacksonville, Vilonia, Cabot, etc. I also make exceptions out of area for regular clients. I have cared for over 400 fur babies during my tenure, took care of 42 families last year but have now shortened my list in “2024” to meet my repeat clientele’s needs. I am able, however, to still be able to squeeze in new clients at times though.
Since my children graduated from college, (they are now in their late 30's, out of state, in the middle of their careers and raising their families), I decided to pursue my undeniable caregiving and love toward fur babies. I wanted to start a business with animals (which I have loved since childhood) that exhibited that love and responsibility. In 2018, I brokered with Rover.Com (a dog/cat sitting brokerage service from Seattle, WA) that I felt not only protected me as a dog sitter but protected the clients by conducting a thorough background check on me being their dog sitter but also provided mediation in a situation that needed to be resolved.
My business venture first began dog boarding at my home, then progressed to dog walking during Covid & as my trust with the client's increased, I began dogsitting in the clients homes which has been a beautiful bonding experience. This gives me the ability to provide the animals care in their familiar atmosphere and provide peace for the clients. I conduct myself in a professional manner each day. I have a loving relationship with the dogs/cats and the clients is one of trust.
Once or twice a day, I will send a text to the client with updates, pictures and/or videos.
I prefer 1 to 4-stay sittings as that allows me time with my family but can fit in 1 to 3 weeks if my calendar allows. I do that quarterly on a case by case basis.
While dog sitting, I stay with your pet/pets 24 hours a day (I bring books/my computer/meditate with the fur babies), have groceries delivered and only leave to check on family or doctors visit.
I took care of 3 pets in 1-month during Covid when a client could not leave the country as the border was closed so unexpected circumstances do happen and are expected.
Pets are very diverse & I enjoy their experiences. I love what I do by caring for your precious pet. When daylight first hits, I am immediately awake. If the dogs/cats are still sleeping, I will usually lay there & rest until they wake up. I bring a protein shake with me the night before to my room. I take my medication at 5-am without disturbing them and take it with my shake. Once they awake, they eat and promptly go out for a potty break. We really enjoy our outside time together.
I ask that the client's "complete a paper info sheet" on each animal so that I know their eating schedule, medication management plan (if they are taking any medication). Please lay it on the kitchen counter top and have available when I arrive the 1st day.
INFORMATION NEEDED:
Has your dog or cat ever accidentally bit someone before including a family member or other dog. If so, I will start off slow with my introduction to the dog or cat & slowly work on our relationship.
MEDICATION:
Does your dog or cat take medication. If so, please alert me on the medication (which animal) and times the medication needs to be administered.
No dogs with pre-existing conditions of cancer will be accepted. This is due to a tragic experience that I had in the past.
