Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new cool aunt 🤪😎
I grew up surrounded by animals — from dogs and parrots to fish and even a turtle — so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My last dog, Ola, was a golden retriever who lived a wonderful 14 years, and losing her made me realize just how much animals have shaped my life. For me, pet sitting isn't just about making sure your pet is fed and cared for — it's about getting to know *them*. I love learning their personalities, earning their trust, and figuring out the little things that make them happiest. Whether that's playing fetch, going for a long walk or hike, or simply hanging out together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I've also had experience caring for pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I cared for Ola through her final days when she was no longer able to walk, and I've also cared for dogs recovering from injuries. Those experiences taught me to be especially attentive to an animal's comfort, routine, and individual needs, and I'll bring that same care and sensitivity to your family member. I work on a hybrid schedule, which makes it easy for me to spend extra time with pets on my remote-working days. I love the routine that comes with caring for an animal — their walks, meals, playtime, and excitement about the smallest things have a wonderful way of bringing structure and joy to my day. Your pet isn't just an animal I'm looking after — they're a little individual with their own quirks, preferences, and personality. I'd love the chance to get to know yours!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My two bedroom apartment has plenty of cozy lounging space and I’m just an 8 minute walk from the park, so walks are quick, easy and never feel like a chore. Even when I don’t have a pet with me, I love stepping outside for a little fresh air during breaks, coffee runs or just to stretch my legs. Getting to share that time with a pet by my side is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day.
Ratings and reviews
Ashima has taken care of my cat, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. She was attentive and responsible, making sure my cat was comfortable, well-fed, and given plenty of attention while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring hands. I would absolutely trust Ashima to care for my pet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet caregiver.
Ashima does a great job taking care of my cat! She is easy to communicate with, follows instructions very well, and has helped my pet feel at ease many times while I have traveled. I would highly recommend Ashima for your pet care!
Ashima is such a sweet and kind hearted person. She has babysat my cat and I never had to worry if he was doing ok. She’s very responsible, punctual, and good at communication. Book her!
Ashima has looked after Korner multiple times, and I always know he’s in good hands when he’s with Ashima. Ashima grew up with dogs, so she’s very experienced/will ensure they’re well taken care of and having a good time. She’s great with sending picture/video updates and is super communicative throughout. Can always trust Korner is having a great time when Ashima is watching him.
Ashima is like a second mom to our dog Dax! She’s amazing at providing enrichment for him, keeping him safe on public transit, and dealing with his eccentricities! She’s even taken care of him in a medical emergency, and knew how to stay calm and collected while we figured out what to do. She will love and take care of your dog like her own, really cannot recommend her enough!

Schedule
I work a hybrid schedule with 2 days in/office and 3 days remote, so I have lots of time to shower your pet with attention, play and cuddles. On the days I’m out of the house, I’m home by 6PM because I hate the idea of a pet waiting too long for company. Since all I need is WiFi to get my work done, I’m also happy to spend the day at your home so your furry friend never has to be alone.
