Breanna takes care of my three high energy dogs and keeps me updated with pictures on how they are doing. It helps me feel better to know she is checking in and taking care of them. She is also super responsive when I message her.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Emily is as a dog sitter! She took such great care of our babies while we were away for a seven-day trip, and I didn’t have to worry for a single moment. Her communication is outstanding—I love the pictures and updates she sends. They always reassure me that our dogs are well taken care of and happy. It warms my heart to see our pups literally smiling in her photos! She’s truly wonderful, and we’re so grateful for her care and dedication.

Emily was an absolute star! She took excellent care of our cat, Simon, while we were away — feeding him, refreshing his water, playing with him, and most impressively, expertly giving him his oral medication! She also left our home so clean and well-kept! We recommend Emily to anyone and everyone!

Mandy was so great for me in a pinch! She worked with me to get and return my key and took care of my cat while I was gone for a few days. She was responsive and sent pictures and videos of my happy cat. I would book with her again!

Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!

About: Hi everyone! I'm Ashley, the owner of All Paws & Pastures, your new go-to for all things pet and farm care.🐾 ​Need a hand with your animals? I'm here for you! I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, from always having my own dogs/cats from the ripe age of 3, to fostering/volunteering since 2010 to working in the field since moving to the area early last year. ​My services are flexible and comprehensive, including but not limited to: *​Dog Walking & Pet Sitting (any time you're away)😺🐕 *​Farm Hand Services (from milking cows to mucking stalls & collecting eggs)🐮🐎 *​All-around Animal Care (for any need in between!) ​I am a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable caregiver with great references. Please send me a message to discuss your specific needs. I can't wait to meet your animals & treat them like my own Pet care IS my routine. I am a self-employed single mom and am able to be attentive to animals in my care. Other business ventures take a back seat when I have a pet booked so your babies will have all of my attention! Determining the needs of each client is unique to them; however, I treat each pet as if it were my own. At my home- I have a fenced yard, extra crates if needed, a runner line if needed and doggy gates inside for separated free roaming if needed. At clients home- I am there to keep the pets as much in their routine as possible. I come armed with treats, scratches & an understanding that some are shy a little longer than others. Check-ins on arrivals can be easily provided as well as many pictures!

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Over the years, I’ve shared life with a collie, two Dobermans, a boxer, and a pair of West Highland White Terriers, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention — just like one of my own! I own my own cleaning business and manage an Airbnb, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often throughout the day and can easily adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, morning potty break, or evening cuddles, I can usually make it work. I’m used to managing multiple responsibilities and keeping things organized, so you can count on me to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s routine. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how important trust and consistency are, and I always treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I keep a close eye on their behavior, make sure they have fresh food and water, and give them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you’re away — and to give you total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with basic training, giving medications, and tailoring care to each dog’s needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. I work from home, so your dog will never be left unattended. I’m flexible with walks and play and can easily adjust to your pup’s routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, an afternoon stroll at the park, or extra playtime. I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime, plus two friendly dogs to provide company if your pup enjoys socializing. I’m experienced with crating if that’s what your dog prefers, and I’ll always follow your instructions to maintain consistency and peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they’re part of my family, making sure they feel loved and secure.

About: I have had my best friend Rocco (Dachshund/Beagle) for the last 10 years, Eva (Dachshund) for the last 6, have grown up with dogs and I treat every one of them as my friend. They usually do the same. I have cared for friends' pets as a favor years and decided to make a side gig out of it since it comes so easy to me. Anyway, I can't wait to meet your friends 🐕. I currently watch my sweet baby girl and pups while my wife works. I work rideshare when she's home. This leaves me a lot of time to meet your needs! I live in an apartment complex in the city so I staunchly will always have my dogs out on a leash with me. Eva is a very difficult breed to train and battles anxiety so I've become a pro at helping her avoid confrontation. All will be well on the wagging tail trail! P.S. I know when I use Rover, I like when they send me pictures. Just let me know if you don't prefer.

About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
