House Sitting in Ashland

“Dora is dependable and kind. She cared for our kitty for a week and he seems to have enjoyed her company. Because we have an electronic door lock, we know that she came every day, twice a day as planned. She ent pictures and was responsive to texts. We will use her again without hesitation.”

“Great pet sitting service. This was the first time I left my pup with a pet sitter that he didn't already know (aka a friend). But he did great! Stephen was super kind and met with me prior to the date even though it was last minute. His wife was also super nice!! Their house is nice, clean and sway from the main street which is always a plus. My drop off and pick up hours were all over the place and he was very accommodating and open to all the last minute changes. I'm happy I went with Stephen, especially since he seems like a total dog/animal person. When I dropped my pup off he even got on the ground with him and chased him lol That was sweet to see. I know my fur baby must've had a great time! He even sent me pictures during their walk. I'll definitely go with Stephen again in the future! Thxx again!!”

“Annalise was amazing with my fur babies. My dog louie was so excited to see her. She kept in touch with me every day and sent pictures. I highly recommend her! I will for sure be using her for future travels.”

Michelle D.

“Emma is wonderful with our two little dogs (who each have their own unique needs), as well as with us. She is communicative and reliable and we have been very pleased both times she has stayed with our pups. We will definitely book her again!”

Melissa M.

“Karen set a high bar of excellence while caring for Gemma which began during our meet and greet. Gemma took an immediate liking to Karen, rarely the case with people that Gemma doesn't know. While I was away Karen texted multiple updates and photos, and checked in to be sure I had returned as planned. I have only the highest of praise for Karen to watch over any one's furry family member.”

Candy B.

“Madeline took great care of Cassie and the house, and communicated throughout our trip.”

Leah S.

“Jessica was great watching our dog and cat and house for a long weekend. She was very flexible with our needs. We will definitely book her again!”

Nick N.

“We have had Jordan housesit 2 times now and highly recommend him. He is very easy to work with, loves animals, follows detailed directions for multiple kinds of animals well and leaves our house very clean. He is easy to get in touch with and responsive. In the past when we had a sick cat on his watch he has done a great job of letting us know and working to get the cat to the vet which we arranged from afar. We will definitely use him again! Thanks Jordan!”

Mimi C.

“Andrea is a wonderful sitter! She stayed with our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. she kept us up to speed with daily check ins and photos, Chaco loveed spending time with her, and we knew our home was cared for while we were away. We will definitely call on her in the future!”

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!

“This has been our first time using Rover. We are so happy to have found Brooklyn!! She is absolute top notch! We have two rescue dogs, one of which is very very shy. Brooklyn was great with them both. We especially appreciated her updates each morning with pictures of our pups. When we arrived home, the house was clean and our dogs looked content. Brooklyn was a great communicator, very warm and conscientious. You can tell she truly loves animals. We highly recommend Brooklyn.”

“Thilini made a fast connection and deep with our Golden Retriever, Sophie. We were worried about leaving Sophie in a strange place (hotel room) with a stranger (Thilini) while we went out for the evening and to a play at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival with our 10 year old grandson. It turned out that Thilini is not only a fabulous dog whisperer, but a member of the OSF company and completely inspiring to our grandson. A gift in many ways!”

Peter P.

“Jake is everything you could want in a sitter. Friendly, communicative and trustworthy all while bringing loads of experience and knowledge to caring for our pup. I cannot recommend Jake enough and plan to re-book with him in the future.”

Chris H.

“Sherry was amazing with Louie. She made sure to keep in touch with me through out the days she was with him. She sent me pictures. This was my first time leaving him home and my first time using Rover. She took all my worries away. Highly recommend her!!!”

About: My whole life I have been caring for dogs. They truly make life worth living! My entire life revolves around whether or not my dog can come with me. I make time everyday to take her on a walk in nature. I am diligent about training and good manners and making sure she is socialized with people and animals everyday. I work Mon-Thursday 8:00am-10:30am from home and at my private art in Ashland. My dog comes with me everywhere (unless it's too hot). We go for a hike or to the lake everyday! Lots of potty breaks and outside time between hanging out in the studio or at home. I have a large fenced in yard where the dogs have free range. I am extremely connected with dogs and am very intuitive and attentive to their needs, habits, fears, desires, etc. I am patient and kind with them and have so much love for them. I can be harsh and strict if that's what they need but also very gentle and understanding. I have good follow through with instruction and know what it takes to establish good habits.

“So grateful Isabelle watched our pup last minute, can’t recommend her enough !! Moxie loves her and appreciated her walk and time with Isabelle!”

Molly M.

“Tamara took extra time leading up to our trip to learn about the walking and eating routines for our dogs before we left for our holiday trip. We really appreciated her wanting to understand these details so that she could continue to provide the same environment for the dogs while we were away.”

About: I have plenty of experience petting sitting for friends & family. I've looked after both dogs & cats, and my responsibilities included going for walks, feeding pets, hanging out and spending time with them, and giving medication. I also cared for my senior dog, who passed when she was 15 and requires intensive attention and care. I'm currently a part-time wellness coach, which allows my schedule to be fairly open! I'm available during the week & weekends, from 6am-5pm, and nights if schedules align. I give pets lots of cuddles & loving, if that's something they are willing to receive. Also, make sure I give a safe space for them and a warm environment to make them comfortable. I love to play fetch with them, take them on nature walks (I find that most dogs LOVE nature), and give them time to get their energy out and have fun!
