“Ashley is so kind and thoughtful! She gives great updates and sends pictures throughout the walk. Is respectful of my home and accommodating to my dogs needs. I would absolutely recommend her for your dog too!”

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

I am also working a part time job, but hours are very flexible. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in their own home, maintaining their normal routines to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions, keep the environment clean and secure, and prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication with the owner at all times.

I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet.

About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.
“We are so happy to have found Samantha on Rover. She is super nice, responds quickly to inquiries, arrives right on schedule and, most importantly, is great with our beagle. Five stars!”

About: My name is Jordan Harris and I am an animal lover hoping to be able to make a difference in you and your pets life! I have worked with animals in my daily career for the last 10 years, beginning as a kennel technician in a large boarding facility, working in doggy daycare, grooming, and basic obedience dog training. I was promoted to General Manager in 2017 and in 2021 I left my job at the boarding facility to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. I currently am a Clinic Office Manager at a veterinary clinic where we care for cats, dogs, and exotic pets. After working in boarding for so many years, I understand that not all pets do well in a boarding facility. I am hoping to offer families and their pets the peace of mind and comfort for your pet however I can, in your home. I currently work full time, 4 days a week. I am free on the weekends and would be more than happy to discuss my weekly availability. 🙂 I do have a 5 year old daughter that may come along from time to time; however only if necessary. If your pet doesn’t do well with children please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I am comfortable dispensing medication/strict diets, and handling dogs with special needs such as behavioral, medical, etc. Tell me how your pet prefers their attention and exercise and we will do it their way!
About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs. I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have also cared for dogs and cats of my own for as long as I can remember. I am also very comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am currently working part-time, being an athlete and a student. I will make as much time as possible for your pup, as well as being as flexible as possible. I will make sure that your dog or cat is well taken care of. That they are safe and that under my watch, I will give them the utmost quality of care.
