About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. In my neighborhood I am the trusted pet sitter and pet walker! I currently am a student I only have 2 classes a day so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I always follow the ground rules set by the owners. I do my best to make sure the pets do not get into anything that could cause them harm.

About: I am a reliable, responsible adult seeking to make a little extra cash. I am 26 years old and have my own means of transportation. I have 13 years of animal care experience. I have had dogs and cats since I was 3 years old. I am well versed in caring for animals both big and small, young and old. I am an animal lover and whisperer. I have also been around livestock such as horses, goats, and chickens. I would love to help you out and take care of your dog(s) or cat(s) and make sure they are happy and healthy every time I am done walking them, pet sitting them, or just making a quick stop to play with them. I tend to take animals I pet sit on walks and play with them. I will treat your animals with love and respect and like they are my own. They will be spoiled and given the extra attention, walk, or care they may need. I have references if need be. I treat every single animal that enters my care as if they were my own pet. I understand that our pets are much like family, and our babies in a way. I work full time in the nanny industry. I am pretty flexible and can stop in for afternoon, or even night visits.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I've worked with puppies before, taking them on walks and reinforcing the basic training their families were already working on to help build a strong foundation. I'm patient, dependable, and happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care while you're away.

My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks during the day, as well as early mornings and late evenings to accommodate your pet's routine. While I'm not able to provide overnight stays because I have a cat of my own at home, I'm happy to work with you to find times that best fit your pet's needs. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I'm committed to providing reliable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by sticking to their normal routine. I follow owners instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special care your pet requires. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment so they stay happy while their family is away. Although I'm not currently offering pet care in my own home because I have a cat, Bear, I treat every client's home with the same respect and care that I would my own.

“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”

About: Current dog mom. I treat my dogs and animals as my kids. I would do the same for any animal put in my care, as I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your pet. No dog to big or small, I have experience with all breeds and temperments. I can assist with nail trimming, administering medications ect. I offer walking and or running. Familiar with many different dog friendly parks and trails if preferred over the typical road walk. If they enjoy swimming I know many dog friendly spots. If they need a doggy playdate, my pups will gladly welcome in a friend. I am a current night shifter so I have flexible hours and a rotating scheduel. My job allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am always doing something outside or activities with my own dogs which allows me to offer the same care to your pet at the same time. I have a large fenced in backyard. My home sits in a very private secluded area, far from any main roads, noise or traffic. I like to keep your pets in the same routine as if they were home. If they are used to being crated I have crate available. If they are free range through the home my house is already pet proof.
