“Ashley has been great! She is very reliable and quite a life saver on some last minute requests. My Gracie just loves her and Ashley takes special time with her going above and beyond. 5 stars !!”


About: I work a steady 9–5 on weekdays and have weekends free, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent pet care. With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs, Mocha and Matcha, home alone, so I was very anxious. I hired McKenna in advance, and she even did a couple of visits while we were still home to get to know them. When the actual trip started, I felt so guilty I almost cut it short—but McKenna reassured me with such kindness. She followed every instruction, came twice a day, fed, walked, and played with them, sent photo updates, and even stayed extra time to comfort them. Mocha doesn’t usually trust strangers, but she warmed up to McKenna quickly. Matcha loved her too! McKenna made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. I’ve already asked if she’s available again in July! So grateful and blessed to have found someone who truly treats my pups like her own.”

“Taylor was great with our cats and left detailed notes that helped put us at ease while we were gone. It was clear they took a liking to her and she took the time to play with them. I would not hesitate to book her again!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, along with a calm, confident approach to every pet I work with. My background includes specialized care for both energetic puppies in need of training reinforcement and gentle, attentive support for senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra comfort. What sets me apart is my commitment to individualized care. I tailor each visit or session based on your dog’s specific needs—whether it's administering medication, practicing leash etiquette, or simply providing consistent, loving companionship. I also prioritize communication, providing real-time updates and detailed summaries so you’re always in the loop. This isn’t just pet sitting—it’s professional, compassionate care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals. My lovely wife & I work from home, which allows us ample time and full focus to care for your pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can provide attentive, consistent care tailored to your cat’s needs without rushing. I’m available for bookings Monday through Friday, offering reliable visits that fit seamlessly into your pet’s routine. With me, your cat will receive the loving care and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for them in my home or yours. I live in a secure apartment complex with a fully fenced dog park, providing a safe, controlled space where dogs can run, play, and socialize freely. Additionally, there’s ample yard space nearby for them to explore and frolic in a natural, stimulating environment. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly atmosphere that encourages trust and relaxation. Every outing and interaction is carefully supervised to ensure your pet’s well-being at all times. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands.
