Pet Sitting Ashley Acres

“Laura is a fabulous pet sitter. I highly recommend Laura. She is a true animal lover. I was completely happy with Laura’s services. My cats seems drawn to her immediately at the meet and greet. I came home to calm and comfortable cats.”

“Lauren is easy to get along with, followed my preferences, arrived on the time we discussed, and good with my "hardheaded" miniature Schnauzer. 😂 I highly recommend Lauren and will call on her again.”

“2nd time having Mary care for my dog while I was away. Mary, once again, has done a wonderful job! It’s so comforting to know that I have someone in Mary that I can trust. I highly recommend her for your next pet sitting need.”

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Another great visit. We appreciate the care MA gives!”

About: i grew up on a farm with multiple animals and pets! i currently have a 2 year old cockapoo whom i adore. i am so excited to care for your babies! I am a student at UMMC, so my schedule is flexible most weeks. I am available on weekends and most evenings due to my class schedule. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly puppy. I am open to crates and free roaming. I am patient and understanding with fur babies!

About: Growing up on a farm in the country side has given me ample experiences in all sorts of animals. Dogs, cats, horses and even turkeys! This experience has given me a unique set of skills that can tackle any beloved pet with patience, endurance, and fun. I am currently in a master's program at UMMC in Biomedical Science and am looking for flexible work that will allow me to keep up with living expenses and being able to do what I love best, playing and loving with pets! As someone who has a cat at home, I know what it takes to keep our animal companions safe but having fun at the same time.

About: I started pet-sitting at ten with my twin, quickly becoming the neighborhood’s go-to for pets, plants, and house care. I love checking in, feeding, walking, and playing with animals. As a recent college graduate missing my flatcoat Apollo, I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, especially hunting breeds. I work full-time, but I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends. I am very active and would love to take your dog on a walk or outside. Small shared yard at apartment. Can hang out at home and do work with your furry friend or I can take them to the nearby park.

About: Because of my loving concern that I have for my very own dog, it really makes me one of the perfect candidates. I love my 🐕 he's rotten to the core. I am currently working a very stressful schedule which does not allow me the time that I would seriously love to have to spend with more or to care for that of others. You have to pay serious attention to details and not take everything to seriously dogs are our companions. Treat me just a such, because they deserve it

“She was great! She sent lots of pictures and gave my dog and cats plenty of love and attention. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and use her again! ❤️”
