About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, cats and dogs. I have experience with all age ranges of pets. I enjoy taking care of mine and my family members pets! I often watch my parents 2 year old energetic boxer mix, as well as 3 cats, one who has heart failure. I also love spending time with my sisters 5 year old mini doxie. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, cleaning litter boxes and providing basic medical needs. I look forward to meeting the furry important members of your family and providing the best care I can! I have an open availability for Monday-Friday from 6am-3pm. I’m available for longer walks if needed or short in and out trips. I take my parents dog Willie on walks around local parks, he’s a very energetic dog and likes to pull. So I take it one step at a time with him and give him ample time to soak in all the enrichment of the environment around us.

About: I have been a proud pet owner pretty much my whole life. I cared for my senior dog until the end when he got cancer. I think animals should treated according to their needs. Each one is unique. I adore animals and care very much that they receive excellent care. I have an unpredictable yet flexible schedule and can often take on jobs last minute but prefer to know in advance. I have reliable transportation. My dogs are my family. They are spoiled with love and given the highest level of care including regular vet visits. I have experience administering meds, walking, and playing with all different kinds of animals.

About: I have grown up and worked with animals my whole life. From having both dogs and cats growing up, to working as a Sea Lion trainer at the Milwaukee County Zoo, I have learned how to care for, and train, animals on a daily basis. It’s fun to get to know their different personalities, what motivates them, and understanding what will make their day positive. I love going on long walks or just lounging and giving lots of pets. Along with caring for animals, I work as a part-time nanny! I am a part-time nanny with a flexible schedule, which allows me to take jobs such as dog walking, or sitting, to fill in my schedule on my off days! Taking care of a pet is the same as taking care of someone else’s child. Their needs come first and it’s important to know what they enjoy and what motivates them. It’s equally as important to gain their trust and create a safe relationship with them, even if it’s only for a small amount of time. A positive relationship in return gives a positive experience.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, with a special appreciation for senior pets and those who need extra patience or consistency. One of the most meaningful experiences I've had was adopting a 12-year-old cat that developed chronic kidney disease (CKD). I cared for her through nearly four years of treatment, managing medications, hydration, appetite, weight, and daily routines until she passed away just shy of her 16th birthday. That experience taught me the importance of careful observation, consistency, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior that can indicate something isn't right. I also have experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier and understand the unique needs of toy breeds, including their size, energy, and safety considerations. Several family members and friends have larger dogs that I take on walks and care for when they're away. Professionally, my background is in consulting and project management, which has made me highly organized, dependable, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully, communicate proactively, and believe pet owners deserve regular updates and photos so they can enjoy their time away with confidence. My goal is always to care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while maintaining flexibility. I currently offer overnight house sitting, typically from approximately 7:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., when many pets appreciate the comfort of having someone with them overnight. During the day, I may have other work or personal commitments depending on the booking, but I always communicate my schedule in advance so expectations are clear. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines for meals, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and companionship while respecting the schedule that works best for each household. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially seniors or pets with medical needs, and I do my best to minimize disruptions to their daily routine. I am able to pick up your animal and drop them off for an additional fee ($10 / day). When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining the environment and routines they already know. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, household rules, and any special care your pet requires. I take time to build trust with each animal, allowing shy or anxious pets to become comfortable at their own pace. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention during walks, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets for changes in behavior or health, and never hesitate to contact an owner if I have a question or concern. I also treat every home with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine, keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for during your absence. Communication is a key part of my service. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing and can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first when im caring for them in your home, follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide, 8-10 potty’s breaks and lots of attention. For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

“Kayla has been timely and handles our 100#, other animal reactive German Shepherd like a champ. Our protective shepherd sat next to her just like she sits next to grandma on the first meeting. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I have also been taking care of pets for family members and neighbors for quite some time. I love meeting new furry friends and I hope to meet many more I am currently working full time, but I’m looking to move more into a caregiving job, working with animals more frequently. As of right now I can do morning and afternoon visits, as needed during business days I can come to a clients home and provide whatever care is needed, whether it’s taking a young pup on a long walk, or just hanging out with a senior pup in the backyard while they do their business and enjoy some sun. Or even playing with a kitty and some string in the living room.

As well as just being more present with their potty breaks so I know that they are 100% doing their business and that they are okay.

“This was my first experience using Rover and I connected with Ashlee inquiring about her services. She was kind enough to meet with me first as I had never had anyone but family care for my dogs. I was thrilled to receive my River cars with pictures and details each day about her visit to care for them. I will be utilizing her services again as I had piece of mind that my babies were well-cared for during our vacation. Thank you Ashlee!”
