About: I don't have much pet care experience. I had a very energetic Jack Russell Terrier, Scotty, from age 7 to 14. As I was a kid, my parents took most of the responsibility of caring for him. However, I loved Scotty dearly, as well as other dogs and cats too. I'll do whatever I can to make sure your pet is cared for. I'm free for the summer! I'm available for most of July and August, except for the last two weeks in August. I start school full-time starting in September. If your dog is small or medium-sized, I can keep control of them on walks and ensure they remain safe while outdoors. With pet-sitting, I make sure to keep a close eye on your pets and adhere to any rules you have in order to ensure your pet is safe and cared for.
About: Hi, My name is Alison, a nursing student with a special place in her heart for doggies. I have been raising a Shih Tzu named Terry, and a Bichon Frise named Lucky. Terry has been the first to be under my complete care since he was 4 months old. He is now 12 years old. Lucky was an unexpected gift from the universe, and was given to us at 1 year old. He is now 5. Both have received nothing but pure attention and love, and I would not hesitate to give your pet the same. Update: my services have now changed after many years. I currently only offering doggie-walks. Thank you for your understanding. My current schedule is very flexible. If there is any conflict with scheduling please let me know so we can come up with a solution that works for the both of us. Please let me know any specific information I should know about your home and neighborhood to be able to ensure both of our safety while still having fun.

I'm currently studying in college with only online classes till fall, so I have plenty of availability this summer for walks, sitting, and play time!

“Asha was amazing. You can tell that she really cares for your pet and will take extreme caution while they are in her care. After each walk she communicated various aspects of the walk to include, my pet’s behaviors to strangers and people she knew and anything else a pet parent would be concerned with. She has a very warm personality and I would definitely use her again.”

Aisha R.
“I have had been blessed to have Aisha taking care of my dogs for over ten years. Since I have known her, I have had three dogs (a 70lb black mouth cur, a 58lb plott/lab mix and a 76lbs German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix). She has known two out of three of them since they were puppies and has been able to adapt with their growing sizes and ages. Aisha is extremely responsible and trustworthy. I am very wary of letting people in my home, let alone care for my dogs but I completely trust her and she does an excellent job each time. She has walked them, watched them when I have been out of town (therefore feeding them, making sure they stay hydrated and plenty of activity.) She is thorough in her reports of how they did and if there’s anything outside of the norm, she makes sure to bring it to my attention as well. She is a dog mom herself and she brings her caring nature, positivity and level headedness with her each time. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs an extra set of hands to help take care of their fur baby/babies. Thank you for all you do, Aisha!”
