“Ashley was incredible during the short time she walked my dog. She is such an animal lover and is overall a sweet person.

I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, but have also pet-sat throughout my life. When I was about 13 I had a little pet-sitting side gig throughout the summers and after school. I am comfortable giving meds, taking them on walks, hanging out, feeding, etc. Whatever is needed! I work from home on Thursday and Friday, and am off Saturday and Sunday. I'm happy to spend the day working from your place as long as you have internet or popping in for a walk or feeding, whatever works! I'm happy to work with you for whatever your pet needs; if they need a snuggle buddy or a hands-off approach, I'm happy to do what works. I don't mind long or short walks, crating, feeding, or giving medications.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I could walk, literally. I grew up surrounded by pets on a small family homestead, we're talking dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and the occasional bottle-fed goat among so many others I lost count. Now 28, I bring that same lifelong experience, calm energy, and deep love for animals into every pet-sitting job I take on. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs quiet company, or your senior pet needs gentle care, I’m here to help. I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I treat your pets like they’re my own. Let me know how I can support your pet’s routine while you’re away! I work weekends in the hospitality industry, which gives me a lot of flexible time during the week to focus on my writing. Pet care fits in perfectly—I love having walking buddies and a reason to step away from the page and get outside. Whether it’s a midday walk or a quiet home visit, I enjoy building routine and connection with the animals I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ve worked with animals my whole life—on a farm and in private homes—which means I’m confident handling different energy levels, temperaments, and situations. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash encounters (unless discussed), and always keep water and waste bags on hand. During home visits, I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, medications, or just quiet companionship. I respect your space, lock up carefully, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My calm energy helps animals feel safe—and I treat them like they’re part of the family.
About: As a part-time nanny and full-time mom to two energetic boys and two lovable pups, caring for others comes naturally to me. I understand firsthand how stressful it can be to find trustworthy, responsible care for your furry family members—I’ve been there myself! I’m here to provide peace of mind and loving care when you need it most. In addition to regular pet care services, I’m also available during long weekends and vacations—those times when finding dependable care can feel especially stressful. Whether you need help in the early morning, late at night, or even overnight, I’m here to make sure your fur babies are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I prefer to care for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. However, I’m always open to discussing other options if needed.
“My dog loves his weekly walks with Maryline! She is always quick to respond and always sends me pictures from their walks. Thank you Maryline!”
About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’m passionate about providing the best care for your furry friends. I specialize in dog walking and sitting, ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a daily walk or overnight care, I’m committed to creating a safe and enjoyable experience for your pets. Let me give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I’m currently on summer vacation from being a teachers assistant at an elementary school! While working to finish my teaching degree, I figured I would help others take care of their animals! I’m free most days and nights just need a days notice. My pup Charles is older now so he does not do too many activities anymore. But before that I loved taking him on long walks and playing with his toys. As for taking care of pets in your house, your house your rules! Flexible and willing to leave what’s best for each animal.

Lisa N.
“If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Lisa is the one. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. My pup warmed up to her instantly—and that’s saying a lot, because he’s usually shy around new people. Lisa goes above and beyond, whether it's making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise or sending adorable photo updates that brighten your day. Her calm energy and attention to detail give you total peace of mind. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my four-legged best friend.”
