About: Growing up with many dogs and puppies along with an array of other animals has given me quite a bit of useful experience with handling, giving medication, reading body language and how to engage a stubborn dog. Being 6 feet tall and being able to carry and hold a lot of weight even the biggest of dogs wont be a problem for me! My previous dog was very elderly and always made messes which required immediateclean up, meaning any messes your pet makes while you arent home will be cleaned and sanitary so when you get home you can play with your furry family and not worry about minor messes they may have made. While writing is not my strong suit animals are, they are what I wanna make a career out of and be able to help any and everyday but for now just helping your pups while you are gone or unable to check in on them will be enough for me. I currently own my home and have open availability other than take care of my pups at home. Weekends tend to be a little bit more busy but im still free! My pets all have safe spaces where they relax all day plus a safe fully fenced yard with plenty of shaded area they can relax in plus large water bowls always available.
“Shay was a lifesaver. We booked at the last minute due to an unexpected hospitalization. We have older pets that need special care and after meeting Shay we knew they would be in good hands. Shay was extremely flexible especially when the stay went a week beyond our original booking dates. We had so many things to worry about, but our pets wasn't one of them.”

About: I have experience house sitting and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, a gecko, and farm animals such as pigs and goats. I am comfortable providing daily feeding, fresh water, exercise, basic care, and lots of attention while ensuring pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care that gives pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. As someone who has experience caring for a variety of animals, I am comfortable adapting to different schedules and routines to ensure each pet receives consistent, reliable care. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and any special care requirements. I also make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. While house sitting, I treat both the pets and the home with respect, providing dependable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.And making sure they have clean home to return too.
“Ashlyn treats my kitties as if they were her own and she takes care of everything I need. I love the pictures she sends every times she visits. I feel great knowing they are in her care when I'm gone. I highly recommend Ashlyn!”

I love giving my attention to pets and I will only be traveling to client’s homes because my home is already full of many fur babies!

Shay was a lifesaver. We booked at the last minute due to an unexpected hospitalization. We have older pets that need special care and after meeting Shay we knew they would be in good hands. Shay was extremely flexible especially when the stay went a week beyond our original booking dates. We had so many things to worry about, but our pets wasn't one of them.
Rebekah did an excellent job caring for our very active German Shorthaired Pointer, River and our cat, Tigger. Because of River's activity level he needs off leash walks to stay relaxed and accepting of our absence. River is both excited and fearful of strangers and can be protective of his body at times. Rebekah was creative in managing these issues and reading our dogs tolerance level. When River was over excited, she ignored him to decrease stress. She also used his need for contact by giving our cat attention until he decided he wanted contact too. Rebekah is proficient in the use of our electronic collar and I had no concerns about off leash walks, River responded to her voice commands without difficulty. The only area I would have liked to have been different is to have received more text communication about difficulties so I could have offered suggestions. All of Rebekah's decisions about managing any issues preserved our dog's safety and assisted him in becoming comfortable with her. She is a caring and competent person.
