About: I grew up helping take care of dogs and have been around them for as long as I can remember. I've looked after my own dogs as well as those of friends and family. There’s hardly been a year in my life without a dog in it, and I truly can’t imagine life without one! I currently work full time as a 2nd grade teacher, but I’m available on weekends for boarding, walking, or playing with your dog. During the week I can walk your dog in the late afternoon and evening. I have a fenced in yard and my house is in a neighborhood. I currently have one dog who is a morkipoo and is very playful and loves other dogs. I am able to crate your dog if needed.
“Haley was great! We booked her last minute and took the time to come and meet our dog before the booking. Updated us with several pictures and detailed message for each visit! Definitely will be using her again for future bookings!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, ferrets, fish, and reptiles. I will pay close attention to any instructions you leave to look after your loved ones. I will be 100% attentive to your pet and accessible to you 24/7 while you are away. I absolutely love animals. I am married and have one cat and one dog. I would love to look after your pets if it fits your needs. I am accessible 24/7 when looking after your pet(s) via phone, text, photos, and/or video calls. I have high self- standards of cleanliness and I will be respectful of your home. It will only be me in your home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, starting with my own pup who taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. From feeding routines and long walks to medication schedules and belly rubs, I’ve handled it all with care and attention. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog—and your home—in someone else’s hands. That’s why I treat every pup like family and every home with respect. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your dog feels safe and happy in their environment while you’re away. Whether your dog loves daily walks, playtime, or just a quiet companion, I adapt to their needs and routine. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Let me help make time away stress-free—for both you and your pup! I’m currently only working some days so whenever it works for our schedules I would love to provide you with all the times needed to help get the best in home pet care! I will care for the pets for when I’m at the clients home, the animals will have my full attention because they matter to me as much as they matter to you!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, hiking, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. As someone who is very active, I enjoy giving high-energy dogs the exercise and attention they need, but I’m just as comfortable caring for senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I provide dependable drop-in visits, walks, overnight sitting, feeding, medication if needed, lots of affection, and regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I treat every dog like they’re my own because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime are some of my favorite parts of caring for dogs. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I’ll treat them like family while respecting your home as if it were my own. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.
About: I grew up raising all different types of animals (birds, rabbits, dogs, lizards) and consider my pets my family. I have about 5 years of paid experience caring for pets and I have a cat of my own. :) I'm currently working from home and I have much free time during the day to make drop in visits or stay for a few hours/overnight as needed. You can ensure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and looked after for as I would look after my own pets. :)

About: I have been taking care of family members' dogs regularly for years, including senior dogs with special needs and puppies with no training. Over the years I have gained a working knowledge of caring for dogs with dietary restrictions and mobility issues. I have also had experience teaching two puppies potty training and leash training. Any size dog is welcome, for I have taken care of dogs ranging from six to ninety pounds. I can work around the pet's needs if given a few days to iron out personal schedules. I am in college, so if I spend the night pet sitting, I will have to allocate a certain amount of time for my classes. When in a client's home I like to have a detailed list of instructions regarding the locations of a pet's food, toys, and personal belongings. I will always strive to keep a pet's usual schedule when inside their home and leave time for them to become comfortable with me. I am not afraid of reactive dogs, I can handle ones that bark and bite easily. As the night progresses I will make sure that the home is secure, clean, and happy for the dog I am watching. I am perfectly happy to sleep with the dog on a couch or on the floor if the need arises. Special dietary needs are always important to me, so medications and food will be given correctly at the allocated times.
About: I’ve been working in the Veterinary field for five years now and enjoyed every minute of it. Having dogs my entire life also played a big role in my love for fur babies. I’m here to to take care and love your pets as if they’re mine. I currently work at and animal hospital throughout the week, but have plenty of time to walk and take of your pet in my free time. My availability is open during the weekend. I have two large dogs at my home that stay in my fenced in yard, as well as two cats that live indoors only. I make sure they’re well fed and bathed throughout the year while always taking them for walks to socialize and get exercise.
About: I wholeheartedly cherish and adore pets, as they bring immeasurable joy and companionship into my life. Their unwavering loyalty, affectionate nature, and ability to understand and connect with humans on a profound level make them invaluable members of any family. The unconditional love they provide is unparalleled, and I believe that caring for pets is a truly enriching and rewarding experience, one that brings happiness and fulfillment beyond measure My pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as grooming and health check-ups. I prioritize their well-being, setting aside quality time for bonding and training, which strengthens our relationship and brings us both joy and contentment. As a pet care provider, whether in my own home or my clients', I prioritize the welfare and happiness of the animals entrusted to me. I tailor my services to meet their specific needs, which may include regular feeding, exercise, and play sessions. In-home care involves maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to their daily routines, and administering any necessary medications. Additionally, I ensure ample companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience when separated from their owners. My ultimate goal is to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere for the pets under my care.
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I treat each animal as if they were my own kids. Their well-being is the most important part for me every single day I work. I currently work part- time so I will have plenty of time to spend with any dog and/or cat that I am watching each day. I have had animals all my life. I LOVE animals and spending time with them is the most fun and important part of this job.
