“Karina always gives me detailed communication about my kitties. She went above and beyond for me and then came over an extra day when I wasn’t able to make it back as planned. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brandy was terrific watching our kitties while we were out of town. Both of them are older, one of them has health issues and needs meds and we were very comfortable with her looking after them. She's on time, good at communicating, the house looked great when we got home.”
“Vanessa went above and beyond for us and our kitties 🐱 We initially had a mishap with our smart lock (an issue on our end) and she went out of her way to help us problem solve and make sure our boys were taken care of. She gives in depth updates and pictures each visit and follows any directions to a t. You can be sure with Vanessa your fur babies will be taken care of and loved on 😊”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for several years. I have experience in small dogs to larger breeds , puppy training and obedience. I enjoy long walks and bath time. I am reliable and trustworthy! I am currently working from home. I have plenty of available time to spend with your fur babies to give them all the love and attention they deserve! I have a secure, gated dog park in my living area, which has plenty of room for them to run and play. I have a quick access to the river foot path for long walks.
About: I’ve cared for critters including opossums, cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, pigs, chickens & more! I have such a deep love for animals, which makes caring for them never feel like a job. Pets left in my care are in the best care possible. I am currently working part time, which makes it very easy to care for animals at the same time. My longest shifts are 8 hour days on Sundays & I usually have 3 whole days off per week. I typically do whatever makes the pet and the owner most comfortable, such as regular drop-in’s, overnight stays at the pets home, sleeping next to the pet. I keep up with any typical needs of the pet such as bathing, walking, etc. and I also like to keep the owner updated and send photos.
About: I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over 10 years for friends and family and I think this service is a great outlet for both me and you. Available 7 days a week. Let’s work together to help both you and your furry family and I will strive to give the support and help wherever it is needed. I can easily stay at residence full time if needed for your pet if needed. Provide multiple daily check-ins depending on my current scheduled clients. Walks, simply play time, feeding, potty breaks, and check ins.
“Cassie is awesome with our two cats! We’ve rebooked with her and this time around our one “shy” cat obviously took a shine to her! The check in notes and pics make us comfortable that are kitties are in good hands. We highly recommend Cassie!”
About: I truly understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when trusting someone with your home and your beloved pet. My goal is to ease as much of that stress as possible and provide the kind of care that brings you peace of mind. With many years of experience in the animal medical field, I’m able to spot potential issues early—something that sets me apart from the average petsitter. If your pet needs medication, you can trust that I’ll handle it with skill, care, and a gentle touch. I'm currently working full time, and the hours are sometimes very long, so if your pup needs a walk, I ask that you find a mid-day walker. I can stay overnights or do drop-ins before and after my work day. I have Thursdays and weekends off. I do not offer watching your pet in my home. I will abide by the rules and routines that you already have established with your pets.

She is willing to help others including me when I had major surgery last year.

She consistently goes above and beyond, providing personalized care, timely updates, and a warm, trustworthy presence. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley as an exceptional pet caregiver.

Any pet would be lucky to have Ashley as their caregiver!”
