“Danielle did a great job! My cat is diabetic and gets insulin 2X a day. This was the first time being away from him since he was diagnosed. Danielle came over and met Blue Jeans prior to my trip and was very communicative throughout my trip and sent pictures every day. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Danielle.”
About: I have had animals all my life. I grew up with four dogs, a cat, and a bird! We rescued all of them and gave them a loving home full of attention and all the treats they could ever want. I would also pet sit for friends every so often. Because of this, I have learned a lot about everything that comes with being a pet owner. I now live here in North Carolina with my boyfriend and we have our sweet cat, Pretzel. I currently have a full-time job in West Jefferson. I am available for drop ins anytime during the weekends and late afternoon/nights during the week. I can do drop ins and do whatever I need to do to care for your pet whether that's playing with them, feeding them, or changing the litter. I can also walk dogs as well!

About: I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs. I'm currently just working part time on the weekends and have full availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to give your furry friend all the love and attention they need. Will follow pets normal routine ex. feeding, walking, playtime. I personally don't mind animals on furniture but will follow whatever rules the pet is used too.
About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 3+ years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I grew up with a household of furry friends! I currently work from home so I am able to dedicate quality time for the care of your pet. I am available Mon-Friday as well as weekends. I have an electric fence for my pup but when I pet sit, no pup goes out without supervision and on a leash. I allow pets to be comfortable in my home too but if you need them crated, I can accommodate that too.

She regularly checks on my 11 month old puppy on days that I work. In addition to feeding and exercising, she works with him on commands that he learned from an obedience training program. She is responsible, always making sure he is in his kennel and the door is locked when she leaves. She keeps her appointments and is thorough in her care. Koda absolutely loves her and enjoys the attention she gives when she is checking on him. I highly recommend Ashlen as a pet caregiver.”
