Pet Sitting Lyons Park

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

“Lexi was a very dependable dog sitter while we were away for the weekend. She was kind and patient with my doggie who can be a little lazy, she checked in on time and sent details and photos in a timely fashion. I felt that my doggo, Mama Zoe, was very safe with Lexi. Thank you, Lexi!”

“Leandrea was lovely to work with. She followed instructions well and had excellent communication. My cat was very calm after I returned from my week long trip, which tells me he was well cared for. Thank you so much, Leandea!”

“Mallory was great with our fur babies! She was on time for each drop in and very communicative. She took some pretty awesome pictures as well. We feel comfortable with her watching over our pets. We recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter :)”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Mary is our go-to for animal care when we travel, and we couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving our two dogs in her care. She’s so sweet and treats them like her own, gives individualized attention and truly cares about their experience -and ours- while we are away. Tanner and Wrigley can’t wait to see you again!”

Josh B.

“Sarah has become part of our family. She's an awesome communicator and is so good with my dog who has anxiety issues among other things. He just loves her, and she makes him feel safe and happy. On her own she introduced him to doggy puzzles which I hadn't thought of.”

Cheryl H.

“Gave my dog a lot of attention . Was good with him”

“Vanessa has always been very dependable and flexible to help with limited notice. My dog loves when she visits and walks with her. :) thank you so much!!!!”

Katherine K.

“Tracy covered my dog's need for a bit of companionship while I was out of town. He appreciated it! He was happy to see me, but not desperate. :)”

Jennifer S.

“Michele was great with Pekoe. His photos showed my stranger-averae parrot to be calm and happy. She did a great job respecting his space and personality while keeping his bedtime routine intact. I've already booked her for my next 2 trips. 🙂”

Angela B.

“Jenn took excellent care of our sweet kitty Lola. Even though Lola is quite shy, Jenn did her all to engage her and make her feel comfortable. I appreciate her professionalism greatly. Would highly recommend.”

Christine E.

“Amanda is great! We have one senior dog and another with a lot of anxiety. She is so loving towards them and patient with whatever they need. I really appreciate her communication skills and know our pups are in great hands when we’re away.”

Katie W.

“Kelsey was so great keeping in contact with me before and asking questions and information I forgot to let her know. Very pleased! Got lots of cute check ins!”

Sara S.

“Katie was awesome and our Luna loved her! Luna tends to be shy at first with new people but she warmed right up after a day and loved all the attention and playtime she was getting. Katie was thorough with her updates & sent great photos as well, I highly recommend and will be rebooking!”

Leandrea R.

About: I am a lover of all animals (dogs, cats, snakes, you name it) and have always owned cats. I've regularly dogsat for family members while they're on vacation, but my cat Lily does not get along well with dogs, so I have never had one personally. I am very active and outdoorsy, and would make sure your furbabies remain active and happy while they're being cared for by me. I am comfortable caring for animals who may require a little extra care, as I'm accustomed to administering my family cat Lily with her twice daily medication. I work a part-time service industry job, so I am always available before 3pm on weekdays, and do not tend to work very long shifts on any day of the week other than Saturday. My schedule varies every week, but I would not accept a job for days that I will be working too much. My family cat, Lily, is 17.5 years old with severe hearing loss and a twice daily medication. I regularly medicate her and ensure she is happy and healthy throughout the day, and would do the same with your furbabies.

“Lilly was amazing with our two cats while we were gone for a week! Both of our girls absolutely loved her (even our shy kitty) and warmed up to her instantly. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond. Do yourself a favor and hire her! ?”
