Dog Sitting Ashland

About: I have extensive experience walking dogs, animal care, overnight pet sitting and pet check ins. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds and very comfortable with new dogs and animals and can easily establish a relationship with your pet! I make my own schedule and very flexible with my schedule throughout the day and week. So i can currently be available 7 days a week I have a fenced in backyard that my own dog loves to play in. I am very responsible and respectable when walking my dog and other dogs in regards to leashes, picking up poop, and passing other dogs on sidewalks and yards.

About: I've had various pets of some kind since I was born. I love animals, big and small. I'm really the life of the party, typically off in the corner playing with the animals. Fortunately I have the work flexibility to not just give extra care to my own pets, but offer some of that time to others as well. I'm pretty sturdy and friendly, so large dogs are definitely able to be handled and welcome. I also love the outdoors as much as your dog and am happy to go on extended walks if necessary.

About: I have over 6 years experience of house/pet sitting(from another website) caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My past nursing experience plus my 6 years of house/pet sitting has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I have traveled a fair bit in my life having a curious mind and a zest for learning and experiencing new things. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.

“Halie did an excellent job taking care of our cats while we were away. We’re so grateful! She is a joy to work with and she did a great job communicating through out. We would love to have her care for Barley & Gary again sometime soon. Thank you, Halie!!”

About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawaked." - Anatole France I have grown up with dogs for almost my entire life. I have also have pet sat before and can provide references. I have a 5 year old male pug named Tyson. He is an only child and is very friendly and loves having buddies to play with (with that being said in order for me to watch your dog they must be okay with other dogs.) I would prefer to meet your dog ahead of time before any overnight visits if possible. As a dog owner I know what an important role they play in our lives. They are family. I know how vital it is to have someone responsible that you can trust to make sure they are kept safe and happy while you are away. And if I watch your dog I will make sure that happens and treat them just as I treat my own. My schedule can be pretty flexible, especially with enough notice. The more notice the better of course. I prefer to take dogs that can be left at least for a couple hours if I have them for multiple nights. I live in an apartment and have a little pug that gets along with everyone. He comes with me on house sits. When dogs stay at my place I take them out on leash to potty and walk them.

About: I've taken care of pets from guinea pigs to goats. I'm great at following directions for the needs of the pet. Whether it be specific times for meds or walks or feedings I'll be down to the minute. I'm currently working as a live in caregiver so my schedule is very flexible. I basically do the shopping and laundry and yard work so that can be done anytime. I follow directions very well. Just let me know what is expected and I'll do it. I have pet and house sitting experience and have never had complaints, only compliments.

About: I've had lots of experience especially with small dogs. I've been a foster parent for the humane society and ended up adopting a dog that I fostered. However, he recently passed so there are no dogs in my home at present. I may have a small dog in my home from time to time as I'm fostering again. I'm comfortable with senior dogs, too. My home is quiet and comfortable. I'm currently working very part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your treasured dog. I'm available weekends, too. I have a fenced back yard with a small lawn. If you have me care for dogs in my home, I have crates they can use. Environment is quiet and tranquil.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life. I have dogs myself but I also dog sit for neighbors. I have lots of experience with dog walking and house sitting. I’m also happy to give testimonials as I’m aware I have few reviews! I’m currently working part time but my job is very flexible. I have plenty of time to take care of and walk your pups! I am also very flexible and will try to accommodate your needs as best as possible. I have a nice apartment with many cameras and pet relief areas. I also live near many parks and fenced in dog areas. Your pup would also have a companion most of the time.

“Jasper loved having you visit him, and we appreciated all the pictures you sent. Thank you so much! I will definitely book again for our next trip.”

“Dylan was great with the pups. He loved them and they loved him. He let me know when he was stopping by and sent pictures of the happy puppies. Dylan took them on a nice long walk and made sure they were good and tired. I highly recommend, and will ask him to visit again in the near future.”

About: Hi! I have 13 years of experience working with dogs, and a lifetime with a total of 6 dog pals, from my wee years until now. I have 1 lovely 18-year-old Chug, named Basil. I adopted him when he was 3, so we've been best friends for 15 years! I have worked as a dog sitter, animal sitter, dog walker and always have a dog in my own family. All of my dogs have always been rescues, but most of the dogs I have walked or sat have been pure bred. I have skills with helping dogs change habits (i.e., a leash puller learns to walk next to me, or a small dog learns to not bark at every creak in the floor). I've had my own business for 7 years now and moved to Ashland 2 years ago. Before moving here, I was able to offer more services, but am now focused upon pet care in client's homes and walks. I unfortunately cannot board anyone at my home and am also unable to stay the night in pet homes. Although, I am extremely aware of routine with animals and can plan to be at your home with the morning and evening routine in check, and morning, midday and evening walk + playtime included. I am in an online asynchronistic master's program and have an 8-year-old daughter. My time is very flexible aside from my daughter's school routine and transporting her to afterschool classes. I am very aware that every pet and their human pals have certain routines and habits. My goal as a long-time caregiver is to always honor whatever you request of me and also attempt to emulate energy and behaviors shared with the pets. I always send text and photo updates. I like to make sure I know who to call in the case of an emergency, and if a relationship is ongoing, I request that my contact is noted as someone who can communicate with their veterinarian.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with dogs since I was a baby. As a kid I helped my dad train our black labs (Apache & Meg) to hunt. Into my teens I trained my two German-short haired pointers (Gretchen & Pluto) and my yellow lab (Daisy) to be good family dogs. Pet-sitting was one of the first “jobs” I had starting at the age of about 10. I have previously & am willing to also pet-sit cats. I am a student at SOU. My availability is as follows: Monday: 8am - 12pm & 5pm on. Tuesday: 10am - 3pm. Thursday: 1pm on. Friday - Sunday: All day. I live with roommates that have a dog & two cats, so I will not be able to accommodate my clients’ dogs or cats in my own home at this time. However, in my clients home, I will give your dog &/or cat lots of love. I plan to enforce the same type of training & commands that their owners use.

About: I have over 13 years of experience working in a veterinary hospital as a veterinary technician (non-certified) , and am well-experienced with animal care. I can administer all medications in any form. I have worked with all sizes and breeds of dogs, and have no restrictions in regards to that. Working with animals is my passion, and I am lucky to get paid to provide them with medical care and support at my regular job. I have also owned animals for my entire life, and I wanted to be Jane Goodall when I grew up. I'm comfortable with most types of animals, like dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and reptiles. Who better to care for your pet than someone who has such an array of both personal and professional experience? I have a lot of flexibility right now, so it works smoothly into my daily and weekly routines. My flexibility may change once I got a full time job. I cannot currently care for pets in my home. I would care for your pet by following their usual routine as best I can to keep them comfortable.
