Payton was great with my energetic pup! He is not the easiest dog to wear out and every time I got home he seemed content and happy with the attention she gave him. Will definitely book her again next time i need someone to check in on him.

About: I have done dog walking and house sitting for my neighbors for years. When I was a kid, I would run around and do it for free because I just loved dogs so much! I carry that love with me as I now have three dogs of my own to look after-a new puppy to train, a 6 year old, and a 15 year old. I have experience in training puppies and experience in caring for senior dogs. I have had a passion for this sense as long as I can remember. I love it! I am currently living at home for the summer, and I am looking to stay busy doing something I love! So, I will bend my schedule however it is needed in order to dog sit, dog walk, or however else I can help. Any day, any time. However someone wants me to take care of their pet in their home, I am open to anything. I will follow the instructions given, provide consistent communication and updates, and always ensure that the home is respected.

About: I grew up with animals all throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and help my mom foster for Cocos Heart and other animal rescues. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds through my past job at PetSuites and through pet sitting. BACK FOR THE SUMMER!! I’m currently working part time at two jobs during the week but will be able to make check-ins in between shifts. The weekends I’m available anytime for check-ins or walks! I try to provide more than just the basic needs to my pets and any pet I care for. This includes feeding and medications, walking, playing, and hanging out with the pets to keep them company. I’m relatively active so I can take the pets for longer walks and runs if requested. I always put the pet first and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence.

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

Ashley was great with our 8 year old golden doodle. Responded quickly to our last minute booking request, came right over for a meet and greet and followed through by being fantastic with our dog for several drop in visits over a weekend. She came right on time and sent us plenty of pictures and video so we knew all was well. It was great knowing our fur baby was in good hands and that peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our evenings without worry. We will definitely be booking Ashley again soon!
