“Ashleigh started walking my puppy Molly last week, which has been a lifesaver! I recently had to return to the office so I can’t walk Molly as often I did. And she needs all the activity she can get due to her high energy level. Ashleigh is kind and patient with Molly, which is very important to me. Also, she provides frequent updates and pics. Molly looks forward to her morning walks and I feel it’s having a positive impact on her behavior! I’m so glad I found Ashleigh and I highly recommend her!”

About: Growing up on a family farm in Kentucky gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds, and it’s where my love for pets began. From helping strays find new homes to raising and training my own dog for nearly nine years, I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. I specialize in puppy training basics, gentle senior care, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or extra patience, I provide care tailored to their unique needs, always treating them like my very own. I’m newly a stay-at-home mom, available any day and anytime. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so your pet will always get the time, attention, and love they need. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I’m big on making pets feel at home, so whether they love curling up on the couch or running around in the yard, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs since childhood. I have two cats and one dog of my own. Also, I have two little boys who will love playing with and helping care for your fur babies! I’m a teacher, currently on summer break. I am taking classes online for a Master’s degree, but I will have plenty of time to love and care for your pets! I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have a big yard. You will need to provide a leash if your pet will be boarded at my house. Our neighborhood is pretty friendly toward walking dogs, and there are plenty of sidewalks. I do have dog and cat food, but if you have specific food that you feed your animal, then you will need to provide that.
About: Hello! Aside from being around animals my entire life, I also worked at an animal hospital, Hillcrest Animal Hospital in Little Rock, AR for several years. I started as a front desk receptionist, and slowly began training as a Vet Tech; where I also began doing lab work and sending test of for our specialized cases. I work very well with puppies and kittens, keeping them entertained and cared for. I also have a very strong passion for our bully breeds that are often given a bad image. I'm currently in the process of joining our United States Navy. I am waiting to ship to Recruit Training Camp, so my schedule is quite open. I go to the gym regularly, no kids of my own other than my dog-son. I don't have any other obligations outside of taking care of my own dog right now; so I'm fully free to take care of your fur babies and give them my undivided attention. I have a fenced in 30x30 foot backyard, and two well-mannered dogs of my own to give your fur baby or babies company in staying active and a fun-time. I have a very nice neighborhood, that includes many of my neighbors that walk their own dogs frequently. Plenty of roads and space for us to walk if they're here with me at my home. When it comes to caring for your pet in your own home, sitting or dropping by, I'm following whatever schedule they're accustomed to, so they don't get away from it while you're away.

About: I’ve never not owned dogs and cats. I’ve been with rescues and fosters, I love taking care of animals no matter the type, they all have their own individual big personalities and I adore that, I love getting to know an animal. When I was 13, I played a big role in caring for our puppy, Ashes. I have experience training her, and following puppy feeding and potty schedules. Some of our fosters have been elderly. To me it’s really important to be gentle with them. They are just as worthy of love as any other. Same goes for special needs dogs. We fostered a boxer named Carly, who was blind. She was one of my favorite fosters. I work full-time, so I’m not able to accept house sitting requests. I can do drop-ins if I can work it around my schedule a little, as I work 5-7hour shifts. As I’m looking to care for pets in client’s homes, I plan to follow the basic rules for that said pet. To each their own. Obviously, while outside, the dog should be leashed unless we are in a fenced and safe environment. I follow feeding, sleep, play, and exercise schedules as directed.
