5. Ashley B.
“For as long as I've known Ashley, she has been one of the biggest dog lovers I've ever met. She has personally watched my dogs/dog sat and walked them for me out of pure love and enjoyment of spending time with them. I have trusted her without a doubt, and my dogs have always felt happy and safe around her and under her care! Her gentle, caring nature and adoration for dogs of all kind makes her an excellent candidate for this position.”

About: I've provided care for cats and dogs ranging from kitten and puppy to senior. I've been walking and doing daily in-home visits for several years, as well as taking care of my own animals.

I'm usually avaliable on short notice and can make earlier morning or later evening visits or extended visits during vacations.

About: We’ve had our doggies, Koda (golden retriever) and Barley (Yorkie) since they were puppies and they turn TEN this year! We have had our two cats, Cherry and Catarina, since they were kittens. Cherry is 1 and Catarina is 2. Aside from having my own pets, friends and family have relied on me to pet sit regularly throughout the years. If you are like my family, we treat our pets like family, and we want them to be with someone we trust to love and care for them while we are gone. I would LOVE to be that person for you! I aim to make your animals feel comforted and cared for and give you peace of mind while you are away. I would LOVE to hang out with your furry best friends! Currently I’m a sahm, who substitute teaches on occasion. My schedule is usually open, during the week my kids have school and if I’m not subbing I’m at home. I’m able to devote lots of attention and care to your furry family members! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs for yours to play with! (I’m also able to keep them separately if necessary or if that’s just your preference) Our house is quite big and can be partitioned with baby gates and pocket doors!

15. Keira M.
About: Does taking care of a goldfish named Dorothy (named after Elmo’s goldfish of course) at age 4 count? I have always had pets and I love all animals, at the moment I have my bearded dragon, my fish, and my senior cat I work second shift, perfect for those who work 9-5 who need someone to needs there dogs and cats cared for in the morning time. My cat is the queen of my house. Since she was up until recently indoor/outdoor (we moved), my main focus is to keep her senior brain enriched and stimulated. You’d never think she was 15 years old with how she darts around. My bearded dragon is in a palace of an enclosure, she enjoys looking out her window where she must think she is the guard dog. She eats out of my hand and loves trying new food.

About: I've had dogs all of my life and what household is complete without a faithful dog or cat. All of my pets have lived long active lives, and I've had to care for them in their old age. I'm a retired educator and have a great deal of freedom to make my own schedule. I have 2 Golden Retrievers myself. Fun to have ! I can get your pets outside safely on a leash and depending on the size, would walk them together or separately. Good arm for fetch.
