House Sitting Ashbox

“This was my first time having someone other than family watch my dog overnight, and Aliyah put any worries that I had at ease. She was able to follow all of my instructions, and maintained good communication with me daily regarding my dog while I was away. She even sent pictures and videos of him 😊 One thing that is helpful for my dog is his routine, and Aliyah maintained his normal routine without any issues. She also maintained a clean space while I was gone. I’d definitely book Aliyah again if I have to leave my dog overnight! She’s dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. My dog loves her! We are very appreciative!”

You can expect picture & video updates throughout the whole 24 hours a day . If your fur baby is on a strict diet I can assure you I will continue to follow the normal routine . I plan my schedule according to you and your fur baby’s needs . I am a full time fur baby caretaker nanny here for all needs . My fur babies eat home cooked meals . They do not sit in cages unwillingly the door is always opened as they roam free and know the cage is their safe place . They enjoy a gated backyard and are trained to tell when they need to go potty but I will take them out every 2-3 hours if not asked. They take walks everyday to skretch those little legs we walk 30-45 mins a day and come back inside for 1-3 hour nap. They have snack (treat) throughout the day and have playtime throughout the whole day. We are a little happy family .

“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”

About: For me, caring for animals has never felt like simply “pet sitting.” They are family—and when someone is trusting me with a member of theirs, I take that responsibility to heart. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13 years old, and today I help care for my family’s lively crew of four dogs and two cats. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and ages—from the young and playful to the older companion who needs a slower pace, a little more patience, and extra tenderness. Senior pets hold an especially meaningful place in my heart. This past September, I said goodbye to Shadow, my Blue Heeler/Pit Bull mix, whom I had loved since he was just three months old. Loving him through his later years gave me a very personal understanding of both the beauty and the weight of caring for an aging pet. I understand the routines, vigilance, patience, and emotional energy that senior pet care can require. I also understand how difficult it can be for their people to step away—even for a weekend—because you worry that someone else won’t notice the little things you notice or care for them with the gentleness they deserve. That is one of the reasons I’m especially interested in supporting families with aging pets. Sometimes loving your pet well also means allowing yourself to rest, travel, celebrate a milestone, or simply take a break knowing they are in caring hands. Whether your pet is energetic and ready to play, independent and particular, or a senior who prefers a quiet companion and an unhurried pace, I meet them where they are. All breeds. All ages. Lots of love. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved—and I want you to feel at ease knowing someone is genuinely looking after them. I work from home, with either a daytime schedule of 10 a.m.–6 p.m. or an evening schedule of 4–11 p.m. This allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and make time for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and companionship. Being home is only part of it; paying attention matters just as much. Pets can’t tell us what they need in words, so I take time to notice their habits, body language, and little requests for attention. Whether that means a nudge for a bathroom break, an invitation to play, or wanting someone nearby, I care about learning how your pet communicates. I do have focused work periods, so we’ll discuss your pet’s routine and care needs before booking to make sure my availability is a good fit. This is especially important for older pets who may need more frequent check-ins or a particular schedule. I want to understand what a comfortable day looks like for your pet and how I can help keep it that way while you’re away. I start by learning the little things that matter to your pet: their familiar routines, favorite activities, where they like to rest, and how they let you know they need something. I follow your instructions for meals, walks, bathroom breaks, litter care, and rest, with time for play and affection on their terms. In your home, I keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible and treat your space with care and respect. I let your pet get comfortable with me at their own pace, whether they’re ready to play right away or prefer a quieter introduction. Senior pets are especially close to my heart. Caring for my dog Shadow through his later years taught me the importance of patience, gentleness, and noticing small changes. I’m happy to move at an older pet’s pace, and we’ll discuss any health, mobility, or supervision needs beforehand so I can be clear about the care I can reliably provide. Before you leave, we’ll confirm care instructions, veterinary and emergency contacts, and your preferences for photos and updates. I want you to feel comfortable sharing the details—even the ones that seem small. They’re part of knowing your pet, and they matter to me, too.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.

“Enih was absolutely FANTASTIC during her stay in my home where she cared for my dog for 9 days — I honestly can not recommend her enough, and will always be booking with her from here on out! Prior to finding her, I had a horrible, traumatizing experience with the last person I used on Rover. I was so nervous to use Rover again, and left Enih a million instructions. She was so patient and so kind, and was good about doing everything I had asked of her every single day! She tracked her walks, took Alto to the park, and gave me thorough updates. He is a GIANT dog, and can be quite a handful—but she handled everything like a pro. She was very respectful of my stuff and left my home exactly how it was when I left! If you’re looking for a trustworthy girl who can handle any dog, and who treats them with tons of care and love, then Enih is your girl. Thanks again for everything, Enih!”

“We are very happy to have found Jesse and Scott. We know our pets and our house are in good hands while we are away. They are kind and caring and go the extra mile.”

Sally W.

“Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!”

“Once again, a complete and utter stressless vacation with Alex in charge of our senior dog and our place. So many great photos sent and updates given along the way. We couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our special needs boy and our home! Alex is like family now- he even put up with our construction. 💙”

About: I’ve had 3 dogs since I was 15 years old and have volunteered at animal shelters since college. I love animals, they warm my heart and deserve the world. I currently work remotely for a 9-5. My schedule is open during the day and have a lot of free time for dog cuddles and walks. I have a fenced in yard, I do not walk without a leash and carry a stick for any unexpected foul play from other dogs.

About: There is no kind of pet I haven’t cared for. From special needs, disabled, old, young, wild and tame, my experience stretches for miles, as does my love! I work in special education and am an army wife! That means I have ample time to go for walks, give belly rubs, and so much more after working hours. I care for every animal like it is my own when in my care. I have had ducks, cats, dogs, turtles, fish, hamsters. You name it, I’ve had it!

About: Being with the NFB {National Federation of The Blind}, I've been around dogs for a very long time. When their owners need a break, I allow them to have time for themselves, and be able to be a regular dog for a bit. I love helping them get groomed, make sure that they're well fed, enjoying walks with them, a whole bunch of other things, including playing with them. This helps the inner child within me, because I'm able to finally reconnect with dogs in a way that I've been reconnecting for the longest amount of time. Thank you for trusting me with them, and have a safe day. Currently, I am working part-time at another job, but hopefully this will be my point of income for a while. I absolutely love the concept of just being paid to play with animals that I have always loved. I can do that any given time frame, any given day, just as long as you are public transportation accessible, I am on my way. I can absolutely assure safety, because I'm a little paranoid about my own. I will make sure that if there's anything I need to know, I will scare me areas around me, know what potential risks there are, potential accidents that could happen, and anything else that needs to be paid attention to. I am good with quickly learning my surroundings and understanding what needs to happen at a very quick pace.

“Rubi and Martha did an amazing job taking care of my little pack! I have three little girls that are very attached to me and my husband, but Rubi and Martha went above and beyond to provide good care for them. We had a meet and greet with them, and a visit to my house right before the scheduled dates. They were very accommodating and understanding. During the stay they kept in touch and sending videos and pictures throughout the day. We had an amazing experience and country recommend them enough. Thank you!!”

About: Hi, I’m Sanyika! I offer thoughtful overnight and extended-stay care for pet parents who want their animals to remain comfortable in their own home and maintain the routines they already know. I’m a longtime homeowner, experienced house sitter and devoted cat parent to Cali and Mari. I have cared for cats and well-mannered dogs in homes ranging from small studios to large estates, with house-sitting experience throughout the United States and abroad. I work remotely as a wellness and relationship coach, which makes me especially well suited for pets who enjoy companionship and having someone present throughout the day. While I do have scheduled calls and occasional time away from the home, I am not rushing between multiple households or spending the entire day on a walking route. My approach is warm, calm and consistent. I respect each animal’s personality, follow the household routine closely and allow pets to warm up to me at their own pace. I also understand that caring for someone’s pets means caring for their home. I keep spaces tidy, bring in mail and packages, manage trash and recycling, water plants when requested and communicate clearly throughout the stay. For additional peace of mind, I hold an active federal Secret security clearance and understand the importance of discretion, reliability and respecting someone’s private space. My best matches are independent cats and small-to-medium, leash-trained dogs with established routines. I especially enjoy longer assignments that allow me to settle into a neighborhood, work, walk to coffee or yoga, explore a little and come home to keep someone’s pets company. Namaste Home while you’re away. 🐾🏡 I work remotely and can usually spend a substantial portion of the day in the home. My work includes scheduled video calls, so reliable Wi-Fi and a reasonably quiet place to work are important. I build feeding, walks, playtime and companionship around the pet’s established routine. I may occasionally leave for errands, yoga, meals or local activities, so I am best matched with pets who can comfortably be left alone for four to eight hours when necessary. Before accepting a booking, I confirm the exact schedule, how long each pet may be left alone and whether there are any dates when my work commitments could affect the routine. Every new household begins with a virtual Meet & Greet. I want to understand your pets’ personalities, daily routines, walking equipment, feeding instructions, sleeping arrangements and any household details that will help the stay run smoothly. Before you leave, when schedules allow, we will meet in person for a brief conversation where I ask that we confirm: • Feeding and walking routines • Veterinary and emergency contacts • Medications or health concerns • Behavioral triggers and escape risks • Alarm, key and entry instructions • Wi-Fi and workspace information • Household and sleeping expectations • Communication and photo-update preferences During the stay, I provide dependable updates and photographs so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. I promptly communicate anything unusual rather than waiting for a small concern to become a larger one. I do not take pets anywhere that has not been approved or change an established routine without permission. I treat your home as a private space and leave it tidy, secure and ready to welcome you back.

“First let me say this is my first time ever using rover, I rarely leave my fur baby and usually take him with me, but my resort didn’t allow pets. My usual pet sitter canceled last minute, but Nia was more then willing to accommodate me and my pet on such short notice. Such a wonderful experience I was sooo nervous leaving my fur baby, Nia put all my fears and major anxiety at ease. She followed all my instructions to the T! And even FT and sent so many pics of him. She was polite and professional at all times. Would definitely recommend and will only book with Nia in the future.”
