3. Ashley M.
“I know Ashley through a friend and asked her if she would watch my dog for me while I went away for a week. I was blown away by how professional she was. She kept me updated the whole time and was honest with me when my dog was not eating. We came up with a plan to see if it would help my dog Mercedes and it did! She kept my house clean and tidy and i just can not say enough nice things about her. She is a wonderful person and very loving, understanding, and considerate. I will be using her every time.”

About: Are you looking to go out of town for the weekend or for a weeks vacation, but don't want to stress your pet(s) by boarding them? I would be happy to come care for your furry friends at your home, and am comfortable doing overnight stays. I am very comfortable around all dog breeds and sizes. Have a cat or other family pet that needs care as well? No problem! I'm open to caring for animals other than dogs, too, and would love the opportunity to discuss caring for your pets further. Growing up my family always had dogs and cats around, and we also raised 7 dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. For the past 5 years I've been pet/house sitting for others as a way to spend additional time around animals, and provide families with an alternative to boarding. I am licensed, insured, and bonded, as well as pet CPR/First Aid certified. I have exceptional references, and would be happy to provide those upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!
18. Hayley R.
“Wow, what an amazing experience with Hayley. I was very reluctant to hire someone to care for our beautiful fur babies. My 15 year old dog and 10 year old cat had only been cared for by family. She stopped by my house on two occassions to get acquainted with Melody and Doby before my trip. It was love at first sight. She connected with them within minutes. She was authentic and warm while playing and building trust with them. She sent videos, photos and daily updates; giving me peace of mind. She fed my outdoor squirrel and bird friends. I was going to have her drop-in 3 times a day however she was willing to stay over. I was thankful my babies were not left alone at night; they slept with her. She is trustworthy, reliable and genuinely loves animals. The house was immaculate upon my return. Without hesitation I would ask Hayley if she were available during our next trip.”
19. Mike & Laura O.
“Mike was so fantastic with our dog Preston! Since Mike has senior dog experience, he really knew exactly how to handle Preston with love and care, he was a great communicator and we will definitely working with him again!”
20. Joanne C.
“Very professional and very caring with our cat. I highly recommend her for sitting services for cats.”
