“Ashley is amazing with our pups! She’s so flexible and easy to work with and always stays for some extra pets with our older dog!! We’re lucky to have her!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I've cared for all types of dogs from dachshunds to pitbulls; toy poodles to great danes. No dog is too excitable or too strong to handle. I am an active person and will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise. My husband and I like to make sure all pups end the day happy and tired. With a large yard on a quiet street, you pet will feel right at home here. I work from home every day aside from Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with a lenient job that I can walk away from when needed. I can take the dog out at any time of day, and have a long lunch break for walks, and plenty of time in the evening for play. I've sat many pets in their own home, and have been able to learn how they behave in their own environment and adapt accordingly. Respecting people's spaces is a top priority, and I always make sure to leave a home exactly as I found it. I have a large home with plenty of outdoor space at the end of a quiet cul da sac. The back yard is secluded and very safe. We do not keep food out, and we make sure no plants that can harm animals ever enter the home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with very few cars. Most all other dogs in the area have interacted with dogs we have babysat, and are very friendly and well trained.
“Kaelin is great! My dog Goose has lots of fun on his walks with her and we appreciate her so much. She’s kind, respectful, and so nice to our sweet boy even though he can be a little nuts 😊”
“Chelsea is amazing!! So reliable, enthusiastic, and trustworthy. I couldn’t be happier with her, my dogs love her and she loves them. Thank you, Chelsea!”
About: I have always loved animals and have been a devoted pet owner for 40+ years to animals great and small. From mice, gerbils, turtles, to cats of various sizes, multiple breeds of dogs, bunnies and chickens too. Many of our cats and dogs have lived well into their senior years so I am well versed in giving medications, specialized food, frequent potty breaks, etc... I currently have a 115 lb. German Shepherd that loves to go for leashed trail walks, so I am certainly comfortable with large breeds. I have had pets with timid personalities, and feisty, and have loved them all. I am retired so can accommodate most schedules. Whether it be walking your pup, giving cuddles to your cat or feeding your fish I am reliable and dependable. My services offered at this point will be pet sitting at the client's home, day time walks with a pup, stopping in for a play date....whatever keeps our furry friends happy.
About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I have been volunteering at Our Companions Animal Sanctuary in Ashford, where I walk dogs every Friday morning. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.
“Super helpful with a last minute request.”
About: I will take care of your dog or cat like they are my own. I currently have an almost 3 year old Bernedoodle who I trained myself when she was a puppy. My love of animals started when I was 5 years old and I got my first dog. He came home in a shoebox and grew into 90lbs of German Shepherd that was gentle as could be with his little girl. Throughout the years I had several types of animals from hamsters to lizards I don't think I was ever without a pet! Let me be there for your pets, we will have a lot of fun! I run my own business so my hours are extremely flexible. I am able to take same day appointments with just a few hours notice if needed. This flexibility allows me to take care of puppies as well. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or one that loves to run I am the sitter for you. I can keep them on their normal schedules while watching your dog and maybe throw in an extra walk or play time! I am great at following directions to make sure my time with them goes smoothly.
“We contacted Giuseppe with very short notice the night before Thanksgiving and took care of our dog the next couple of days while we were on vacation. Very personable and professional. On time, really understood our situation and knew how to handle our dogs reactivity. We know that we left her in good hands the second we met Giuseppe and we will be hiring him for his services in the future!”
About: I've been dog sitting for a little over 7 years now for friends and family. I recently started dogsitting for clients at the salon I work for. I own 2 dogs myself one of which is 10 and the other is 4! I love cats and dogs so much and I can't wait to have my own house to adopt as many as I can! I currently don't own any cats but I can't wait to in the future! I currently am working part time as a front desk receptionist at a hair salon Tuesday-Saturday. I typically try to work morning shifts but would like to fit more dogsitting into my schedule for after work! I am also more than happy to dog sit during the week and stay over while also coming to the salon but returning back afterwards! I'm very flexible with what needs to be taken care of for your pet! I can take them on walks or for car rides. I can play fetch for as long as they want outside. Obviously take them out for potty and feed them give them treats. I can cuddle with them or brush them. I have taken care of a blind dog before so I can give them eyedrops or medications as well!
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, I've had my own dog since I was 5 also love cats. I will bathe, feed, walk and take great care of your pets. Right now I'm a stay at home dad with a 20 month old and I have 4 older children that go to school during the day. I have two dogs at home of my own, they're both well trained. I can do whatever is needed and requested of me. I have many years experience with animals.
About: What makes me different is my personalized, compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like they’re my own—paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I currently work full-time but I would love to have another job on the weekends. I have a lot of time on weekends to spare and would love to help families with their animal. I have taken care of my finance families dog whenever they need me. I enjoy walking my animals around. I treat all animals like they are my own.
“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”
“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”
About: My dog passed away at age 18 and my family decided that we are not going to get another one. Being able to care for other people's dogs will be a joy. I am currently semi-retired and working part-time with a lot of flexibility in days and hours. Dog walking or pop in care will work for me. I won't be able to do any frequent regular visits as my schedule changes weekly. I am used to walking dogs and having dogs that are crate trained. Whatever your routine is, I can help to be consistent in training and care.
About: Taking care of pets is what I would consider my life’s work. I’ve been in the industry for 10+ years and i continue to do that as best as I can! Allowing me to love and care for your pet is the most important thing in the world! I am currently not working and that means I have nothing but unlimited time for you and your furry friend. I can be there for their first feeding, mid day potty and dinner time feeding. Allowing you to work and do your thing without worrying about your loved ones! Having nearly a decade of pet experience underneath my belt makes me the perfect choice for your day to day needs. Whether it’s taking care of the elderly, training puppies, needing a gentle hand, or patience, my expertise in the grooming industry, persisting field and vet tech training, you can always bet you bet is in the safest hands!
“Hannah is a wonderful addition to our Arthur’s activity/social life. Hannah is consistently prompt, and her positive, kind-natured demeanor makes for the most pleasant experience for our family. Highly recommend Hannah!!!”
About: Hi there! I have two wonderful golden retrievers at home who me and my family have had since 2021. With two goldens, I am very familiar with energetic dogs who love to play all day long. I also often care for two other golden retrievers in my neighborhood, one of which is recovering from an Acl surgery this summer. I am able to care for very energetic dogs as well as those who need a little more focused care such as senior or injured pups. I am college student on summer break with a very flexible schedule to fit the needs of your pet family. Currently I dog sit two dogs during the week and occasionally on weekends with various hours. This schedule is very flexible and I am happy to adjust my schedule to the needs of your family. To ensure both the safety of your pets and your home I will take special measures to follow your instructions as the pet owner. You know your pet and your home best and I will work to ease your mind and keep your pet safe!
About: I’ve grown up with a dog and have been surrounding my dogs my entire life. I have watched after, walked and taken care of many dogs from people in my personal to strangers. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I am able to fit almost all pets needs. I’m available weekends, evenings and morning too! I offer an approachable demeanor that is welcoming to all pets. I most enjoy playing with dogs outside and taking long walks and fun hikes!
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a baby! Within the past couple of years I’ve begun watching friends and family’s dogs and cats, whether it’s through house sitting or drop by visits. I’m extremely passionate about animals and work on training with my own dog! I have cared for senior dogs in the past, I also own multiple reptiles, so I understand advanced animal care! I’m currently a college student. I will need to be at classes for a few hours each week, and I can happily share my exact schedule. Otherwise, I am free! I’m happy to care for any sized animal. I especially love large dogs. I take my time with dogs and let them understand me at their own rate, but I’m happy to help with anything to help a pet settle in with a stranger around, whether this be training, snuggles, food, or space!
