About: Update: 8/8/2024 I am transitioning jobs at the moment and do not have a set schedule at the moment. I will not be accepting booking requests for established or new clients at this time. Update: 3/20/2024 I unfortunately will no longer be doing drop ins and/or overnight stays for felines (kittens or adult cats) Aloha! I moved to CenLa in May of 2024 with my husband and American Cocker Spaniel. I was a veterinary technician in Utah for years but now will be working at home for the animal hospital I worked for. I have experience working with a wide range of pet behaviors from friendly fellas to nervous nellies. I have experience bathing, walking and administering medications (oral and injectable). I also have experience with pet first aid and cpr. As a pet parent I understand how stressful finding reliable pet care can be and I’m here to help you through a difficult situation at a reasonable price. Unfortunately I will be unable to stay with your pets 24/7 however, your pets will not be alone longer than 6-8 hours, please see "Schedule" section for more details. Note: I will not bring my dog to any House Sitting stays (she will be at home with my husband while I watch your pet(s) ) I currently am transitioning careers and do not have a set schedule - that being said I cannot comfortably accept new bookings at this time. You do not need to stress while your pet is in my care. My guarantee to you is that I will not let your pet out of my sight on walks or while at the park (for safety I do not take any dogs to dog parks) and will have my cell phone on me at all times while your pet is in my care. I will never watch or walk more than one pet at a time unless they are from the same household. I will not watch more than 2 dogs at a time. I always require your primary veterinarian offices contact information and atleast one emergency contact. Your pet and I will never go on a “field-trip” without your permission and knowledge of where we are headed and when you should anticipate our return.

“Ashley was fantastic!! She came over to "visit" with our pup prior to her scheduled days so that Belle would feel comfortable with her. Ashley took excellent care of our Belle and provided pictures and updates at each visit. Will definitely use her services again!!”

7. Khai’Lya P.
About: My name is Khai’lya and here’s a couple details about me. I have a 4 year old poodle/rat terrier named Peppa. I have 4 years of experience when it comes to dog sitting since I dog sit for my relatives on a regular basis. Since I do it so often, I thought why not work with animals as a side job. I also have plans to work in a shelter and volunteer in the near future. My goal is to help others when it comes to leaving their furry friend with someone dependable and trustworthy. I understand how it feels to worry if your dog or cat is in good hands or not. I want to be able to provide a worry-free experience for others when it comes to their pets. I work and attend college full time, so after my morning classes or work I have nothing but free time. This free time allows me to spend more time playing with your pet. I have a huge yard with a doggie of my own. I do stay near a busy street so I will have to fence your furry best friends in a pet fence for their own safety. I love to do playtime with my dog so I don’t mind doing the same for yours
8. Heather F.
“Heather is Great with Animals. I remember from the first time I met her she wanted to be a Veterinary. Her wishes did come true in not so many ways. Heather has her on Little Farm, from Cats, Rabbits, and Rescuing Stray Dogs. I think if she had a bigger Home and Yard she would have more animals. I would trust any animal with Heather. Plus she has a lovely little girl who's following in her Momma footsteps. John F”

10. Darren M.
“Darren has been such a big help. When Bentley(our dog) returns, I can tell he’s been well kept. He suffers from occasional anxiety but it’s been at a minimal since his visits with Darren. I’m more than satisfied with the service and I’m impressed by the relationship he’s developed with Bentley.”
