About: I have been pet sitting, as a side job, for about 8 years but I've been caring for animals for about 3 times as long. My name is Ashley and I’m a mom to 3, Middle School EC Teacher and small business owner. Staying active is an important part of my day. Walking and playing with your furry baby would bring me joy while also keeping both of us healthy and active. We have two pets of our own. I have a 6 year old red nose pit. Kiki was adopted from the animal shelter. She had been adopted and surrendered to the shelter 3 times before we welcomed her into our home. We've had her for a little over 5 years. She's a very vocal, ball of energy. We also have Duke, he's 2 years old. He is also a rescue and he's a beautiful mutt. During the summer, my hours are pretty flexible and I'm available for drop ins and walks throughout the day. During the school year, my availability is a little more limited. My husband can help with visits during the week if you're comfortable with it. I make sure to always clean up after myself and your animals. My goal is to make it appear like I was never there but your pets were well taken care of.
“Morgan is sweet, patient, flexible, and our dogs always love her! Our pup didn’t even say goodbye this time, he led her right up to her front door so the fun could begin!”
“Erica and Christian watched our two labs for a week and they loved it! My dogs are very attached to each other and you could see in all the pictures they sent that they were playing together, snuggling on the couch (tired from all the fetch!) and having breakfast and dinner together. They also got plenty of socialization with their other dogs, which was a treat for them. Erica sent pictures every day, which is comforting to see when you're away on vacation. This was an awesome experience and we will definitely ask for Erica and Christian again. Thank you!!!”
“Jessica was super helpful and accommodating! Goldie had a blast, and she was also flexible with pickup and drop off. Definitely keeping her in the rolladex for next time!”
“I've used Cinthia and Fer dozens of times for sitting daycare and boarding and I think they deserve an updated review for all the love they give my dog baby. He loves staying to with them and I appreciate the attention and affection they provide :) thanks for taking care of my Cooper while I was away! ”
“Simone was great! My schedule was all over the place and she was so understanding and flexible. She treated my pup like her own. I would absolutely trust Simone to watch my dog again. We had a great experience.”
“Baree is amazing! She took great care of our puppy. She took him out for regular walks and sent updates with pictures. She treated him like one of her own dogs. I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Pluto (our boy) adapted to his new environment (with Danielle) within 1 day- which is amazing… that reason alone assured us, greatly, that he is safe. Danielle is an absolute natural! You will love her as well! Our next getaway, she will be the one we go to with no hesitation❣️❣️💯🙏🏾”
“So so glad we decided to leave our pup with Zach instead of boarding her! His place is perfect for dogs. He was super attentive towards her and sent us tons of pictures and videos all day of her playing. We have a very tired, happy pup right now and we couldn’t be more pleased!”
“I can’t say enough about the excellent care my baby receives from Carrie. Gravy just loves to spend time with her and comes home so happy. I always feel at ease leaving her and know that she is in the best of hands ❤️.”
“Vicki was amazing! Her knowledge and comfort with GSDs is wonderful. My boy took to her immediately and I never had to worry about his safety! She puts safety first! Plenty of fenced area to play, and an abundance of experience! Will be using Vicki again soon!!”
“We have left our pup with Brooke a couple of times now and she is amazing! Our pup is excited every time we pull into the driveway! Will definitely keep using Brooke!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I truly treat each one like my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. What sets me apart? I focus on creating a stress-free, fun experience for every pet. I take time to learn their unique routines, favorite activities, and comfort zones. Whether they love active playtime, quiet cuddles, or long walks, I make sure they get the attention they need to feel happy and loved. I work from home and am available all day to watch your pets. I have a 4 year old Basset Hound named Murphy who is incredibly friendly and always looking to make a new dog friend! When caring for pets in my home, I create a cozy, safe space that feels like a home-away-from-home. I keep the environment calm and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. Daily routines include regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and a cozy bed for them to relax in. I also send frequent photo updates so owners can see their pet having a great time. For in-home visits, I maintain the pet's routine as closely as possible. I follow specific feeding and walking schedules, ensure fresh water is always available, and spend quality time playing and bonding with them. I’m extra mindful to keep your home tidy, respect your space, and treat it with the same care I would my own. In either setting, my goal is to make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-loved while their family is away.
“Rachel went above and beyond to accommodate a late drop off and late pick up. She sent a picture of goose and provided updates. I hope to use her again in the future.”
