Keep the lunch plans. We’ve got the potty break.

There’s a particular kind of clock-watching that comes with loving a dog. You’re enjoying lunch with a friend, thinking about the gym after work, or finally booking that Friday massage—and then you remember someone at home needs to go outside.

You love them. You want to do right by them. And sometimes, you’d also like a little room in your day.

That’s where we come in.

Since 2013, Solgave has provided dog walking and in-home animal care in Northwest Arkansas. This October, as we welcome Benton County families, I want to introduce the people behind that care—and a way to use our services you might not have considered.

You don’t have to need us five days a week

Sometimes one afternoon is enough to make a difference.

Maybe it’s Wednesdays, when lunch with coworkers always feels rushed. Maybe it’s the day you have back-to-back appointments, or the Friday you’d like to keep for yourself. A scheduled walk or potty break can give your dog attention and a change of pace while giving you room to follow through on those plans.

Many of our lasting relationships began with just one or two visits a week. You can start there, too. There’s no need to build your life around a daily service you don’t need.

And if one or two days a week continues to be the right fit, that’s wonderful. The point is to make life easier for your household.

A little company. A change of pace. A familiar face.

Meet the people who make that possible

I’m proud to say that we have the strongest team we’ve had since I started this journey in 2013.

That means a lot to me. These are people whose consistency I see every day: the early morning check-ins, the thoughtful updates, the attention to a pet’s familiar routine. They notice the little things and take the time to communicate them.

They’re the faces behind the fresh water bowls, the muddy paws wiped clean, and the photos that let you exhale while you’re away.

A few familiar faces. An unreasonable number of poop bags.

The team photograph captures a moment from our dog-walking training course. As we build our Benton County team, we’re bringing that same emphasis on preparation, communication, and relationships into the communities we’re beginning to serve.

Meet our staff and get to know some of the people who may become part of your animals’ lives.

A familiar visitor, one visit at a time

It starts with learning about your household and arranging a meet and greet. We want to know where the leashes live, how access works, what your animals enjoy, and which details help their day go smoothly.

From there, you can request visits through our app, and we’ll confirm availability. After each visit, you’ll receive photos, a personal update, and a care report.

For some dogs, a neighborhood walk is the highlight. For others, a gentle outing, a potty break, fresh water, and a little company are a better fit. We’ll talk about what makes sense for yours.

Those small, consistent experiences give us a chance to build familiarity over time. And when a weekend away comes along, you already have a relationship to build on as we plan pet sitting or overnight care. Our in-home care includes cats, too—whose opinions about visitors we take very seriously.

Hello, Benton County

We’re excited to begin welcoming more families in Bella Vista, Bentonville, Rogers, and surrounding communities.

This expansion is personal. We’re building a local team thoughtfully, with training and introductions that help everyone get off to a good start. Tell us where you live and what kind of help you’re looking for, and we’ll confirm coverage and availability for your address and schedule.

Whether you’ve known Solgave for years or you’re meeting us for the first time, the idea is the same: real people, thoughtful care, and a relationship you can grow comfortable with.

What would a little more room in your day look like?

The gym after work. A lunch that runs a little long. An appointment you keep postponing. Or simply one afternoon when you don’t have to rush home.

Let us know what would help. We’ll work with you to see what fits.

More lunch with friends. Less lunch watching the clock.

A little help. A little more life.
