About Affectionate Pet Sitters
Affectionately Sitting Pets in
Little Rock, North Little Rock, Maumelle and Sherwood.
We are based in North Little Rock, but serve in the locations listed above.
We operate on the belief that our clients’ and their pets’ needs are of the utmost importance and we are committed to meeting those needs. Each animal has his/her own personality and we respect them for who they are!
We choose this business because we love to spend time with animals. We are not in business to toss down a bowl of water and plate of food, let your pet out to take a quick potty break and be on our way! We enjoy our “job” because we spend quality time with each and every animal!
Affectionate Pet Sitters welcomes the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry. Give us a call to meet you and your pets and let us explain more about our services.
We sat for our first official client as a business in January 2008, though we had sat with many, many pets since we moved back to Arkansas in 1992 (and years before that). Since then, we have met many wonderful people (and pets!) who share our same beliefs and love for our animal companions.
If you are looking for “cheap” sitting services only, you have come to the wrong place. If you want quality, caring, professional, trained individuals who treat your animals with love and respect, then read on, or contact us. We would love to meet you and your precious companions.
Phone Hours:
Tues. - Sat. 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Please leave a message so we can call you back. If you need immediate service, please say so. If we are on a pet visit, we are focusing all our attention on the pet(s) we are sitting.
We are practicing safe driving by not texting or returning phone calls while we drive. Your pet might be in the car with us if we are transporting him or her to the groomer or a play date. Additionally, we would like to focus all our attention on you and your pet’s needs when we talk.
Base Pet Sitting Hours:Mon – Sun: approx. 8:00 am – 10:00 pm

Overnight Hours are generally from between
7:00 to 9:00 pm until 8:00 or 9:00 am.
This time includes all the basics, plus the added security of us being at your home while you are away. For more information see Overnights. We will only sit overnights in non-smoking households.
Our overnight services are currently limited.
Service Area:
Travel outside a 10-mile radius from the intersection of McCain and North Hills Blvds., and mileage rates apply...which is now relative to the price at the pump.
Mileage:The current APS charge for mileage is a rate of $0.45/mile (as of February 20th, 2011). This rate is subject to change without notice as the gas prices rise.
[FYI: The rate allowed by the irs is: "Beginning on Jan. 1, 2011, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car will be: 51 cents per mile for business miles driven" ]
To get your approximate mileage:
Enter “McCain Blvd. and North Hills Blvd., North Little Rock, AR 72116” in the destination of your map search...it will find that intersection. Then “get directions” with your address.
Our “Home Base”
We currently use Google maps when finding
mileage between locations. Internet mapping services are not always accurate or up-to-date,
so an actual odometer reading will determine
the final distance.
Service Area Note:
At this time we are generally not traveling outside
of about a 15-miles radius. Long travel times cut
down on the quality time we can spend with your
pets. In our book, that’s not fair to the animals.
If you live beyond this distance and we can
accommodate you in our schedule, a travel time
charge will be added to your services.
Affectionate Pet Sitters is a Non-Smoking Organization.
