House Sitting Ashland

“Dora took great care of our pets and was quick to communicate and respond. Our pets enjoyed their time with her and we would definitely trust her to care for our pets again!”

“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.”

“Keeley was very kind and competent. Scout seemed to like her right from their first meeting, which gave us a lot of confidence. Since we were away for four days, it was a huge relief knowing he was in such good hands. We felt comfortable throughout the stay, and it was clear that Scout was well cared for. We'd book with Keeley again without hesitation and would definitely recommend her!”

“Darla watched our sweet Beau and took great care of him! She sent photos, took him on a walk and followed his care instructions. We’ll use her again for sure!”

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.

“Ana was very thorough during the meet & greet; you could tell she took caring for our pup very seriously. The house looked better when we returned than when we left. We'd be thrilled to work with her again in the future!”

About: Welcome! I’m happy to share with you that I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years, including dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals, plants, and homes. Throughout that time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs—from energetic puppies/kitties and large breed dogs to senior pets who require medication, extra patience, and specialized care. *Before we move forward; an important sidenote to share is that you might notice in my review section some people will call me by my nickname, which is Azraiel, I’ve had that name for so many years that I have to include it in this little section here so that everybody has clarity😇) Moving forward~ One thing that has always mattered to me is understanding that every animal communicates differently. Dogs tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves, while cats often express themselves in much quieter ways. Learning those differences has helped me recognize when they’re excited, anxious, playful, uncomfortable, or simply looking for reassurance. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and mood because those small details often tell us exactly what our companions need. I believe our animals are family members who trust us with their lives, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with that same love, respect, and attentiveness that I would offer my own family. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and preferences, and I enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. I also know that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure, so I do my best to follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, bedtime, or simply giving them quiet companionship when that’s what they need. I bring a calm, patient presence and allow animals to build trust naturally, never forcing interactions. Along with compassionate care, I believe professionalism is equally important. I value clear communication, thoughtful updates, and dependable service. I enjoy sending photos and messages so you can relax knowing how your companion is doing while you’re away. You can also count on me to arrive on time (usually a little early), carefully follow your instructions, and treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I take pride in leaving your home clean, secure, and just as you left it. My goal is simple: when you leave, I want you to have complete peace of mind. And when you return home, I hope you’re greeted by companions who feel safe, loved, understood, and genuinely cared for. That’s the standard I hold myself to every time I care for someone’s home and the family members who share it. Lastly, I know what it’s like to place your trust in someone else to care for those you love most, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! 😊❤️‍🔥 Thank you for reading my little note here, I appreciate your time and energy~ Looking forward to connecting with you and your pet fam! 🐶🤍😻 I have in the past few months opened my life up in a way I have never done before. I wanted to experience a lot more freedom and flexibility and so that’s exactly what I have:) Well, that doesn’t disclose an exact schedule, I do want to communicate that I’m happy to discuss whatever schedule may reveal itself. I’m sure we can work something out:) You’ll notice the similar theme in what I expressed here compared to the other sections, regarding safety, trust and environment. I don’t mean to sound repetitive, but considering that we’re talking about a person’s home and family, I think, touching on repeated themes of trust, integrity, and good stewardship are well worth a revisit: 🤓🥰 I know that when you invite someone into your home, you’re not just trusting them with your house—you’re trusting them with members of your family. That’s a responsibility I hold with great care, and I don’t take it lightly. My goal is to honor the routines you’ve created, provide calm and attentive companionship, communicate openly, and care for your home and your animals with genuine respect. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines while also paying close attention to their comfort, behavior, and individual needs. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a visit, you can expect thoughtful updates, dependable communication, and a home that’s cared for with the same respect I give your companions. I strive to leave your home just as you left it—clean, secure, and well cared for. Above all, I hope you can leave with complete peace of mind, knowing your companions are safe, understood, and cared for by someone who truly sees them as family. My commitment is to provide faithful stewardship of both your home and the family members who share it.

“Chelsey took super good care of our two dogs- an older Carolina dog and our young and super energetic Jack Russell Terrier for 2 weeks. Prior to the stay Chelsey was great at communicating with us, setting up a meet and greet, answering all of our questions and providing the references we requested. During her stay at our home she sent us daily check ins with pictures and provided updates about how our dogs were doing. It was wonderful to come home to find two very happy dogs and a very tidy home. We will definitely be calling Chelsey for future house/dog sits and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

“I am so happy with Erika’s care for our two dogs. She stayed the night with them, took them for walks, and gave them lots of love and attention while we were out of town. I loved that she communicated so well with me and sent pictures of my fur babies, which was a huge comfort to me. I knew my dogs were safe and looked after with affection. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I've been taking care of my own dogs since I was a child and have regularly helped neighbors and family friends with their cats and dogs while they were away- even my friend's mice while they were traveling and my previous roommate's three rats. I'm home from college for the summer and would love to spend my time with your pets! I have a very flexible daily schedule that can adapt to the needs of your pet. My parents have two dogs, one of which is very loving but does not handle other dogs very well. Because of this, I'm not comfortable bringing pets back to my home, but I am very willing to come to your pets to take care of and spend time with them. I am available for shorter drop-in visits, with feeding, play time, and/or walks, as well as longer visits and overnight stays with your pet.

“Georgia is great! She kept in communication while house sitting & was super patient with our dog & his needs. We are so happy we found her, definitely recommend!”

Breeanna W.

“Sage is wonderful! For our initial meet and greet, she brought our Tallie homemade Valentine’s Day healthy doggy cookies! Tallie looooooved them! Our event got canceled last minute, so we didn’t actually need to have Sage stay. But we have complete faith in her and can’t wait to have her back!”

“We are very grateful to Bryce and Nate for caring for our Stella! This was our first time hiring a pet sitter (aside from friends and family) and we were pleased with how well things worked out. Both Bryce and Nate are very friendly and Stella warmed up to them right away. From the get go the communication was great, and we felt confident that she was being well cared for. We will definitely ask them to help out again!”

Joleen N.

“This is the first time Louis watched our dog. Lemon can be a nervous pup, and it was apparent that Louis understood how to care for her well. I'm so pleased with how the sit went, and my pets were so obviously well cared for. Additionally, Louis did a great job administering meds for both Lemon and my elderly cat. Amazing sitter and we certainly hire him again!”

Johanna J.

“Kristen did a great job taking care of our kitty, pond fish and plants, as well as keeping the local strays kitties fed per our instructions. We will certainly hire her again!”

Julie B.

“Anna did an excellent job watching over our cat and home while we were away for a few days. We loved how she kept us updated with pictures and video. Highly recommend!”

“I can't praise Olivia enough! She was so kind and accommodating when our tire blew out on the way home. She stayed with our dog longer than expected, even during the holidays. Our pup and home were so well cared for. I will gladly hire Olivia again!”

About: I have plenty of experience caring for pets through pet sitting for multiple clients as well as family & friends. I’ve looked after both dogs and cats, and my responsibilities have included feeding, going on walks, administering medication, and spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also cared for my senior dog until she passed away at 15. As she got older, she required a great deal of attention, patience, and hands-on care. That experience taught me how important it is to be gentle, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would care for your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently a graduate student in an online program, which gives me a flexible and open schedule. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. I may also be available for evening care when our schedules align. This flexibility allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and plenty of quality time with your pets. I give pets plenty of loving attention and aim to adapt to their needs & differences. I understand that every animal has a different personality, so I always respect their boundaries and give them the time and space they need to feel safe. My goal is to create a warm, calm, and comfortable environment where each pet can relax and be themselves. I also love keeping pets active and engaged through games of fetch, playtime, and nature walks. I’ve found that many dogs especially enjoy being outdoors, exploring, and getting plenty of time to release their energy and have fun.
