Safety, trust & environment

When I do drop-in visits, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and completely cared for while their family is away. I follow each pet’s routine closely. Mealtimes, litter box or potty breaks, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. During every visit, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, brushing, or simply sitting with them so they feel comforted.

Information Ashlyn U. would like to know about your pet

Please always feel free to make requests during my visits. I always do my best to accommodate each pet and their individual needs and routines.

A typical day

For dogs that do well with it - my favorite activity to get their energy out is actually wrestling and teasing! For my calmer dogs or dogs that don’t like as much physical contact, I love to provide walks or enrichment activities to stimulate their brain. Your classic string and mouse toys (and springs!) is my go-to for cats!

Pet care experience

I’m 20 years old and I have had a love for animals my whole life. I am experienced with cats, dogs, rabbits, and rodents, as well as being able to administer medication (injections, pills, transdermal, etc). I have worked at the local animal hospital for over 5 years, originally trained in boarding and now I am a part of the technicians department. I’m currently in college on the pre-vet track. Additionally, I have been pet sitting locally for the past 6 years.

Bliss loves Ashlyn! The walks are going well, truly gave me peace of mind that I can count on Ashlyn to take Bliss on a midday walk on my long work days. I get a picture each walk and I can see my pup is happy and cared for.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
