Dog Sitting in Ashland

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.

“Thank you Patrick for taking care of Genevia”

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.

“Sherry is the BEST, she has so much experience and knows a lot as a trainer. She has two herding breeds herself and it shows. Sherry is my go to person for dog walking and is integral to making sure my high energy dog is enriched and still working on his training with my busy life.”

About: From the moment I was born, I grew up surrounded by dogs and caring for them has always been second nature. Today, I combine decades of hands on experience with holistic healing tools to offer truly unique, heart centered pet care in Ashland and other parts of the Rogue Valley. I specialize in anxious dogs and dogs who cannot be left alone. I know how stressful it can be for both pets and their humans when separation anxiety is part of the picture. That is why I build my care around calm energy, predictable routines, and constant companionship. If I need to step out and you have approved it, I will bring your dog with me. Otherwise, I will never leave them alone for longer than three hours. I am also a Reiki Master and Emotion Code Practitioner which means I do not just care for pets physically, I also support their emotional and energetic well being. I often provide gentle Reiki sessions to dogs during my stays, helping them release anxiety and find balance. If your pup loves the outdoors, I am always thrilled to take them on hikes with your permission. Fresh air and exercise are some of my favorite ways to bond with dogs. I.

Whether I am caring for them at your house or at mine, they will enjoy constant companionship filled with love, playtime, and calm energy. Whether your pup is in my home or yours, they will enjoy both outdoor time and quiet time indoors. I live one block from a dog park (Colver Dog Park) with separate areas for large and small dogs, which is a wonderful option for pups who like to socialize or run. If your pet prefers a quieter routine, we will enjoy walks around the neighborhood, indoor play, energy healing sessions, and relaxed time together inside. My focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment so pets feel secure. Your pup is my priority. I give them the same love and attention I would my own, so they feel loved and safe while you are away.

“Justina was a great communicator, prompt, and reliable! She went above & beyond hitting every topic from my instructions in the visit summary. I felt very comfortable knowing she was able to check in on my fur babies. I’ll happily book her again!”

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.

“Lexy was able to get close (physically) to my very shy calico cat during her first visit. I don't believe she was able to touch her but just getting within 2 feet sometimes takes a long time. Lexy is very gentle and takes her time which is very much needed. Of course food and water and clean-up was handled well. I recommend Lexy of course, just don't keep her busy when I need her- ha!”

“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.”

Deanna S.

“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.”

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.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — and honestly, my favorite part. Whether it’s at a party or just out and about, you’ll usually find me hanging out with the cats and dogs! I’ve had the joy of working with animals in many different settings over the years. I spent 7 years volunteering with a wildlife rescue organization, gaining hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I currently volunteer at Friends of the Animals Shelter, where I help care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, cuddly lap cats to independent and finicky felines — I’ve cared for them all. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their preferences, quirks, and routines to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My schedule is designed with your pet’s needs in mind! Outside of a few early morning hours at the bakery and a couple of flexible shifts volunteering at the shelter each week, my schedule is open to help keep you pet on their scheduled routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in to burn off some afternoon wiggles or providing a calm, loving presence for a senior companion, I’m happy to accommodate whatever care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, a play session to burn off some energy, or providing full in-house care, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home and totally pampered. If it's just a walk or playtime, you can count on me to keep things exciting and safe! I’ll tailor each outing to your pet’s vibe—whether they're a high-energy explorer who loves to run or a more relaxed companion who enjoys a leisurely stroll. Either way, we’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve. For in-home care, I’m all about keeping things comfortable and familiar. I follow your pet’s routine to make them feel right at ease while you're away. Whether it’s feeding time, administering meds, or just giving them a cuddle session, I treat your home and your pet with the care they deserve. I’m all about making sure your pet gets the love and attention they need — whether that’s zoomies in the yard or just a cozy cuddle session on the couch. You can relax knowing they’ll have a blast, feel safe, and be spoiled rotten while you’re away!

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: My name is Robyn. I’m energetic, athletic, and love pets. I am looking for a flexible way to supplement my income. I have plenty of experience with dogs and have reliable transportation. I am available on short notice and will have very flexible hours in June, July, and August. I am open to sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes and can accommodate the pet’s needs by providing your pets with medication and taking your pet for a walk as well as responding to any other need that may arise. I hope that you’ll trust me to take care of your precious furry friends! I’m am very flexible and available on the weekends - especially holiday weekends. During the weekdays, I am at work from 8am to 4pm and home in the evenings. However, my schedule is much more flexible during the summer months. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly and playful dog (Jimmie) who can keep your pet company. I will give your dog a lot of love and attention!
