About: Hey There! My name is Ashley and I am a pet enthusiast. I’ve had 20+ years of being around all types of dogs and cats and they are just the best! Why not let them get a little a little R&R while you get a little too! I personally have two dogs of my own that I love dearly. I have a lot of experience with clients who have large quantities of pets. So if you have more than one animal that needs to be taken care of that is absolutely okay! I think I will be the best fit for your animal sitting needs because who wouldn’t want someone so passionate about animals taking care of their very own pet? Look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently work full time early morning shift at the hospital. I get out early just in time for mid day to later evening sittings. I am available anytime during the weekend. I have a fenced in yard big enough for all the days play they will need! A lot of running around and fetch happen here so they don’t want to miss out!

About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and have always had a genuine love for animals. I have the most experience caring for medium-sized dogs, including helping care for Labs, Golden Retrievers, Pit Bulls, and Blue Heelers. I also have extensive experience caring for cats. I have cared for a variety of cats over the years, including staying overnight to provide care, administering medication, and following special dietary needs. I have personally cared for three cats over the past 10 years, giving me years of experience understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Most of my experience is with family and friend's animals but since having a baby I am looking to fill my day with caring for other's animals even walking dogs during the day. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I am especially flexible for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and providing companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I am happy to work with your schedule and their individual routine. I am comfortable providing attentive, reliable care for pets with a variety of needs and personalities. I can administer medications, take dogs for walks, follow specific feeding schedules and dietary instructions, and carefully follow any routines or instructions provided by pet parents. I understand that every pet is different, and I make it a priority to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels. Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys their own space, I provide patient, loving care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I am a pre-veterinary student. Being with animals is like a second nature to me! I have many years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I own two dogs of my own and have been pet-sitting for family and friends for over eight years. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and providing gentle, loving care. I am very attentive and always keeping an eye out, safety is always my priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can do weekday mornings (before 2pm) and afternoons (after 5pm). I am a student so I have class midday! I am unavailable weekends due to an internship! I find it so important to be communicative with owners and follow exactly what is instructed for pet care. I can ensure that I can provide the level of trust, care and safety you and your pet will need!

About: Experienced pet caregiver with over 5 years on Wag and a background in animal shelter work. I’m dedicated to providing loving, attentive care for your furry friends, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away Im currently working part time meaning I have plenty of time to fill with some quality time with animals! I also hop on these apps when traveling, and really whenever I have some extra time in my day. I have no pets living with me currently so this means plenty of space for one who needs a temporary home :) I have boarded dogs, cats, and have done sittings at others as well. Being a hiker and active means plenty of walks throughout the day

About: I currently have a cat named Ellie who is 2 years old. I grew up taking care of my childhood dog for 10 years who unfortunately passed away on 11/28/24. I loved walking, watching, and playing with my neighbor’s dogs. I’ve learned a lot about dogs and cats and how to care for them. I can recognize what the different behaviors of animals mean and give each animal all the attention they need. I recently just graduated from the University of South Carolina and I have a lot of time to care for your babies. Depending on your request, I may be able to make changes to my schedule. My weekends are usually free as well. If you have any questions, please let me know! I’m very flexible!! I have a cat to keep your fur baby comfortable and I am home most of the day to watch them and play with them.

About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!

“Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!”

They love being outdoors so we can play. I am willing to accommodate any type of service your pets need!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and am a huge dog lover. As I have yet to get a pup of my own, I’ve been sitting for family, friends, and family friends for more than 5 years, where I mainly housesit. I’ve had experience watching dogs of all ages, from grumpy seniors with medication to lively puppies who need extra clean up time, to anxious Covid babies. I am very detail-oriented as I respect that each dog has their personal routine and want to ensure that not much is disrupted for them when I visit/stay. I understand the importance of keeping in contact with owners (only to the extent that you wish to be contacted) throughout the day. I guarantee that I will take plenty of photos of your pet and will be happy to share them! Note: I am based in LES, NYC for the summer. I work fully remotely, so I'm flexible to working with your pet's schedule when housesitting. I'm available for afternoon walks, or to come to housesit from the evenings usually. I'm also willing to travel to housesit (I've travelled to DC before!), though this would require travel coverage as part of compensation. ***For house sits of 1 week or longer, I ask owners to support in covering my meals. Gift cards or a stocked fridge are very much appreciated! *** I tend to ask clients for a document with their pet's daily routine, and how their behaviours are. I will care for your pets as you would advise to care for them in order to maintain consistency and not confuse them. Afterall, I am the guest in staying in their space should I be housesitting. For walks and drop-ins, I would like to also respect your pet's routine and ensure that they are comfortable and at ease.

“Return booking. Excellent service and communication.”

“Of course! Here’s a warm, concise review you could leave: Joanne took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he had everything he needed during each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! 🐱💙”
