About: Ive had my own pet for most of my life and I treat every animal as if they’re my own! I would be honored to care, and keep your family members company while away, or giving potty breaks/walks!

About: I have helped out many friends and family members with checking in and caring for their pets while being away. As a proud dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone reliable, trustworthy, caring, and professional to check in on your sweet pup. I currently work from home Monday through Friday, and have flexibility to go check in on pets during breaks. Weekends I also work part time, so I have extra time available to check in on pets! I will always ask for detailed instructions when having to enter your home. I want to always make sure to treat your pet with love and respect, and also be respectful to and in your home.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and attention to detail. I have experience administering medications and actually enjoy keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I’m reliable, gentle, and passionate about creating a calm, cozy space where your pet feels completely safe and loved. I work full-time weekday mornings, but after 1pm I’m all yours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings—weekends are my time to recharge with my own fur babies. I’d love to help make your pet’s weekday routine extra special! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and loving. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds—and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own little fur family.

“Ashley was great! She was able to fit Rhemi in for a walk the same day I booked! She kept me updated the whole time and was super easy to work with! I would definitely trust her with Rhemi care again!”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for years ranging from puppies to senior dogs recovering from surgery and epileptic cats. I love cats and dogs but cannot host cats in my home sadly. I have two friendly yellow labs at home they are more than spoiled with long walks and anything they might need. As they can’t take care of themselves, they are always the first priority. I have a fenced yard and am very close to area parks. I also have two pups that are dog friendly, even when having to share the couch.

“Ellen is amazing with my dog! She genuinely seems to care about Maisie as much as I do! She sends great pics and videos of Maisie, and she is very attentive to her needs. Ellen has been incredibly flexible and reliable. Any time that I can’t be there to care for my dog, I’m at ease knowing that Ellen will be looking after her! Highly recommend!!!!!!!”

Hope M.
“Hope was amazing with my sweet Jake (Aussie). He fell in love with her in the kind of way that assured me that she had treated him like her own. She was great with making sure that he was fed his special diet and played with him until he was tired...which is hard to do. I also got a regular supply of photos, which I really appreciated. I trust her implicitly with my fur baby. Btw, Hope's cockapoo baby, Sugar, has become one of Jake's best friends. She is as sweet as her name suggests.”

“Excellent service! Will certainly be using again. Your pet will be in great hands with her.”
