“Ashley took amazing care of our two kitties while we were on our honeymoon. We were able to have a stress-free trip knowing we could count on her to be there twice a day to feed them AND spend time with them! I will definitely be booking Ashley next time we go away, and you should too! She’s very sweet and intentional with animals. ❤️”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

“Kiera was available on relatively short notice for a drop in. She spent time with my pup and sent along plenty of pictures. Everything was put back exactly as it was left, she was great!”

Jesse R.
“I’ve known Jesse for a couple decades now. As a person: you can’t do better or get better. He cares, a lot. He’ll listen and express with compassion. He’ll be there, period. As a dog person?!: forget it, give them ALL to him. He’s fostered and adopted from every walk. Because he loves to. Because he needs to. Jesse has had bird children, dog and cat children, and he is the most responsible pet parent, giving them all the love attention, accessories, character appropriate toys, and play and walk time to suit their individual needs. I hope you find what you need in a care person, but I hope you try Jesse out, you won’t regret it.”

“Mai is the best! She recently took care of my golden retriever and three cats while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I met Mai, I could tell she genuinely loves animals. She followed all my instructions and even took the time to learn about each pet’s unique needs and personalities. Mai went above and beyond by spending extra playtime with my dog and ensuring my cats felt comfortable and loved. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My pets seemed happy and content when I returned home. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.”

Hannah S.
“I can’t recommend Hannah enough for any pet related care. My dog Sammy fell in love with her instantly and I know he misses his country life at her home. Sammy went on great walks, had lots of attention from her family, and of course enjoyed playing with their adorable Dachshund, Charlie. We loved getting pictures texted to us while we were away. Every time our family goes out of town we hope Hannah is available to take Sammy.”
