“Ashley has been great with my pup while I work long hours. She’s very flexible and always makes it work with my schedule. She gives great feedback and updates . Will continue to use her services.”
About: My father is a veterinarian and ever since I could walk I was in his clinic helping him take care of animals. I have also worked as a vet tech. I have also raised cats, a bullmastiff, Yorkie, and a Pomeranian. I generally ask for a quick meet and greet before I provide the service so I can give you peace of mind and I know what exactly you want accomplished for your pets. I am currently on summer break from teaching. When school starts I can do evenings and weekends. I have all days free at the moment. I have a fenced in patio and I was my pets outside the fence. We have a lot of grassy areas for walking in my community.
About: A Lifelong Love of Animals & Care You Can Trust 🐾❤️ Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was involved in 4-H and had four dogs at different stages of my life, along with two hamsters, a rabbit, and fish. These experiences helped nurture my love for animals and my appreciation for the care, patience, and attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs, cats, iguanas, chameleons, fish, and rabbits. In addition, I’ve volunteered at two horse barns, which gave me opportunities to spend time caring for and working around horses. Due to allergies within my household, I’m unable to have pets of my own right now. While I completely understand the need to keep my home pet-free, I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing something I truly love while helping other pet parents feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring, dependable hands. I know pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, respect their individual personalities, and make sure they receive attentive care, companionship, and plenty of affection. I may not be able to have a pet of my own right now, but I have a lifetime of love to share with yours! 🐶🐱🐰 Pet Care That Fits Your Schedule—and Mine! 🐾 As a busy mom of school-aged children, I understand the importance of balancing family life while making time for the things I love. Managing a household of six has taught me to be organized, dependable, and flexible. Pet care is a wonderful fit for my lifestyle because it allows me to share my love for animals while working around my family’s schedule. My weekday mornings and afternoons are generally very open, making me available to provide attentive, reliable care when you need it most. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My evening and weekend availability is more limited due to family commitments, but I’m always happy to discuss scheduling and see if we’re a good fit. My goal is to make life a little easier for you while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️🐶🐱G Respectful, Reliable Care in Your Pet’s Home: I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets requires a great deal of trust. I take that responsibility seriously and approach every visit with respect, attention to detail, and clear communication. Having previously worked as a professional cleaner, I’m very comfortable entering and securing someone else’s home, respecting their belongings and personal space, and following specific instructions and expectations. I believe in establishing clear guidelines before each service so everyone feels comfortable and knows what to expect. I’m very detail-oriented and mindful of boundaries, both yours and your pet’s. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and routines, and make sure doors are locked and your home is secure when I leave. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful pet care while giving you peace of mind that both your pets and your home are being treated with the utmost care and respect. Your trust is something I value, and I want you to feel confident every time you welcome me into your home.

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other animals since I was about 15 years old. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience working as a beginner-level dog groomer, which gave me even more hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I eventually left grooming to pursue my career as a CNA, but my love for animals has never gone away. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to treat your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care\. I understand that every owner has different schedules and needs, and I’m willing to work around those schedules whenever possible\. My flexibility makes me a great fit because I can provide consistent, dependable care without rushing or leaving pets alone for long periods of time\. I’m happy to give each animal the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve while their owners are away\. want every pet and pet owner to feel comfortable and confident when choosing me for their pet’s care. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, so I treat every animal with patience, attention, and the same love and care I would want for my own.

Experience includins walking, playing, pottying , brushing and giving medicine. Pet care is my primary focus as I am not employed elsewhere.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Grace was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finn! She arrived right on time for every visit and took him on long walks that he clearly enjoyed. We really appreciated the updates and photos along the way because they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Finn and made sure he was happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Grace again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
