Ashley was wonderful with our two dogs! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for them so well. We felt completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated, followed our instructions, and gave the dogs lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups. We’d absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with their furry family members. In addition to years of hands-on experience, I also spent 4 years working in the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant/technician, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Additionally I have fostered for local rescues, litters of puppies to senior pups, all with individual needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication administration, senior support, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for lots of snuggles and walks. I am able to stop by for quick check-ins or stay for a few hours to get those afternoon zoomies out. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and breeds, allowing me to calmly and comfortably crate, medicate or walk pets. Having the knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to stay calm in any situation which helps your pets feel safe.

About: I have always been around animals whether they were my own or someone else’s. I have also shadowed at vet clinics and done kenneling briefly at a clinic. I love spending time with pets and taking care of them. I am a college student who is currently studying biology, I then plan to go to vet school. So over the summer and holiday breaks I have plenty of time to care for pets. If they are on a feeding schedule I follow that schedule. I’m also very active myself and love being out side. If it’s nice out I’ll take your animal out to play and walk.

Grace did a fantastic and professional job house and dog sitting for us. She was able to help us with a last minute request and did so well with our dog. She had awesome communication with details and pictures. She was also extremely prompt with responses and kept beautiful care of the home. We initially thought our dog would be okay left alone, but when those needs changed Grace didn’t mind a bit. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.

About: Ive taken care of animals my whole life. Whether it was a dog, ferret, or even a goldfish I absolutely adore animals with my whole heart. Im currently going to school full time with a very open schedule that gives me a majority of the day to be free for whatever I need to do. Ive grown up with both crate trained and uncrate trained dogs both big (cane torso) or small (chihuahua) and have had no problem getting them in comfortably and safely. Having multiple pets makes keeping track of when they need to go out and when they should be fed very easy making sure to have as little accidents as possible and always checking the surroundings when letting them in and out of the house.

I contacted India on relatively short notice for pet sitting. She was available to come meet us and our dog before our trip. India did a wonderful job taking care of our older German Shepherd who is dealing with some skin conditions. She was very caring and followed all of the instructions that I left for medicine and wound care. We appreciate the care that she gave our girl and will definitely book with India again to take care of our dog. We also have a bearded dragon and fish that she took care of as well. Highly recommend India for pet sitting.

Stacey was absolutely amazing with our two boys. She took them for walks and loved on them while we weren’t able to. She was very communicative and sent us pictures and videos of how happy the boys were. When we came home, she had left the house cleaner than when she arrived. I cannot give her enough stars!

About: I have a genuine love for all animals and perhaps a special affinity towards man’s best friend! I have had the pleasure of taking care of and owning animals of various kinds throughout the entirety of my life, from cats and dogs, to ferrets and bunnies! I am able to offer basic puppy training, senior dog care/disabled dog care and also administer medicines. Follow our journeys at themanyminiadventures on IG. I work part-time and am the caregiver for my mother since a bad accident in November of last year and have time to walk, play with, feed and take care of your animal’s needs throughout the day, week or even over the weekend! I enjoy getting to know & have fun with different pups and genuinely understand how important it is to leave your fur babies in good hands. My schedule is very flexible for pup-sitting, spending time with your fur babies and giving them adequate playtime and potty opportunities outside. I treat your fur babies like they’re our fur babies while they are here with the exception of following their diet and your specific instructions. We also: walk dogs on a leash. have extra crates if needed. allow dogs outside time for play in a fenced in part of the yard with the pup friends they came with or solo. provide potty and exercise walks while leashed to allow for new scents as well. Feed pups separately unless they came together and we have been notified they eat well together by the owner(s). have additional sleeping blankets and puppy bedding when needed. notify you immediately in the case of any abnormalities/concerns or emergencies. provide you with pictures and updates over the course of your pup’s stay.

About: I’ve volunteered at my local Humane Society for three years consistently. I’ve had a dog for over 4 years and I’ve helped my best friend pet sit her 8 pets for the past 3 years. Im working to be a full time pet sitter at the moment. To me pet sitting doesn’t feel like work it feels as if Im home! I make sure to give each pets lots of attention. Even when Im looking away pets usually gravitate to me or follow me around .

About: Over the years I have had experience with dogs, rabbits, fish, cats, pigs, cows, chickens. I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, and chickens. As an adult I have owned a rottweiler (2011-2019) and labradoodle(2016-2020) that I absolutely loved and made me fall in love with dogs. They are now angels watching over me. I currently have five kitties rocky (17yrs), Simba (7yrs), Gracie (2yrs), Penny (2yrs), and Bella (1yr). During COVID I had pet and food rabbits and chickens for meat and eggs. I work fulltime during the day usually Monday through Friday 5am-4pm. I work part time on the weekends for a DJ which is usually just Saturdays 3pm to 11pm depending on the event. I enjoy my down time caring for my furrbabies and making sure they have food and water and clean litter boxes. I am always trying to find new ways to make them live a better and happier life. I have a split foyer with 5 cute and lovable kitties. I have a temporary catio on my deck for them to safely enjoy the outdoors. I live in a semi quiet neighborhood that I enjoy taking longs walks around. I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me and not scared as stress is not good for an animal. I love getting outside and going for walks so if your animal needs a walk, it will just make my heart happier to have company. Fuurbabies are family so I will treat your furrbaby just like if they were my own.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Stephanie’s incredible care of our dog, Teddy, while we were on vacation. Our travel plans changed multiple times due to weather, but Stephanie was so flexible and understanding, which made everything much less stressful for us. Not only did she look after Teddy, but she also went the extra mile by taking him to play with other Australian Shepherds, which we know he loved! It was clear that Stephanie genuinely cares about animals, and Teddy had a wonderful time with her. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

My dogs and cats are precious to me and I can say without question that Ashley M. took care of them as though they were to her too. She was on time (which is saying something for a 5:15am start time); followed all instructions; and sent me pictures to ease my mind as they were clearly very comfortable with her. Ashley even helped my with an issue in that I couldn't remember if I took a daily medication; when I texted her asking about the container, she sent me a picture of it so I had the information needed. My sister, who picked up the pups to keep them the rest of the day, was very impressed as well. Ashley is a gem and I am grateful for her great care.
