Pet Sitting Red Oak Heights

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Mallory did a great job checking in on our cat Marvin while we were away on vacation. She provided great updates with photos every visit, and was very professional & communicative overall. Thank you Mallory!”

“Sarah is awesome! I recently adopted a very high maintenance half Persian cat. I had to leave town to visit family for 4 days. I found Sarah on Rover based on reviews. She came to meet my cat and his routine. She came to the house daily when I was gone. She very willingly, happily, and efficiently followed a long list of to do things (meal times with specific types of foods, food puzzles, setup automatic feeders, play time, litter box maintenance, etc) I Sarah went above and beyond to make me feel better about leaving my cat behind home alone for the first time. She did a wonderful job at taking care of the cat and making him feel safe and loved 🥰 I highly recommend Sarah with your fur babies!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Recently, my husband and I, lost our beautiful friend, Freckles. She was 14.5 years old. I am retired, and want to help people who struggle with finding someone reliable to care for their furry friends. I've been there! I'm currently working 1 to 2 days per week, very part time hours. Would like to be with dogs occasionally, since my husband and I are not going to get another pet at this time in our lives. I do have a fenced in backyard, not sure if I will be doing daycare or overnights at my house right now. New to Rover, so want to start our with dog walking and dog house visits.

“This is Sadie’s first visit with Jenn and everything went so well. She was prompt, had quality time with Sadie and accomplished everything discussed. Jenn is very reliable and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies. I understand that having a stranger in your home can be a little uncomfortable. I will 💯 respect your space and keep things clean in order for your while you are gone. Please let me know your preferences for my stay.

“Michele is a wonder. We have five of our own dogs right now, plus three fosters, and she handled them all with grace and ease. It is also a tricky situation because they don't all get along and have to be let out in groups, so that was a worry I had, but it worked out very well! I highly recommend Michele to watch your furry herd (or single furry friend). Thanks, Michele!”

“Kelsey was incredible. First she was extremely flexible as I changed my plans on her many times! I booked out in advance and she followed up with me beforehand. My cats love her and loved to play and be pet! She handled my entry instructions great and I felt very safe leaving my cats in her care and my apartment open to her! I met her in person as well she is so kind. I highly recommend!”

About: Nothing probably sets me apart from other sitters. I always carry a mini journal and pen around with me to jot down notes or things I need to remember, especially if there are specific instructions, like dietary or playtime needs for pets. I usually am the one who takes my family dog for a walk every day since I'm the only one in my family who has the most amount of free time on their hands. If I ever dog sat for a friend's pet in my home, I usually don't really change my routine but add the necessary care requirements for both dogs. When I'm staying over at a friend's or family member's house while watching their pet, I still do a similar routine when I'm at home, but I stay on high alert and make sure I don't leave snacks or anything I bring anywhere the dog can reach.

“Katie gave us peace of mind as we had to leave our kitty for a few days. She was super communicative, easy to work with, and followed all directions perfectly. Will definitely rebook again!”

About: I've had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. From fish, cats, and dogs to even tarantulas, I've cared for a little bit of everything. I've also been the go-to pet sitter for family whenever they're out of town. I currently have an 8-month-old kitten of my own, so I'm familiar with the care, patience, and attention pets need to thrive Besides taking care of my own pet, I have a consistent, part-time job and schedule that allows me to commit to the obligations that I've made with other owners. I don't believe in "get in, get out". I make sure any pet gets proper attention and some play time. Pictures of pets for reassurance is something I offer

About: Hello!! I am a college student and have a very flexible schedule. I have grown up around dogs in my household all of my life, and I have fostered over 70+ dogs of all ages with my family. I also volunteered with multiple rescues throughout the years and have 3 rescue dogs in my household. I understand that certain animals need more attention than others and I am willing to give them my full attention. I enjoy being around dogs and am willing to meet the needs for your dog or dogs:)! A typical day, I like to walk my dogs in the morning to make sure they get their exercise. I also like to play fetch with them and make sure they are entertained during the day. Throughout their daily routine, my dogs in my household are walked in the morning and fed breakfast and dinner. They are rewarded with a treat when they are being well behaved.

About: I’m a cat-focused pet sitter who is comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, including shy or nervous cats who need patience and space to warm up. I pay close attention to each cat’s normal routine and behavior. During visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and lots of companionship. I know how important it is for cat parents to feel updated, so I send photo updates after every visit. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so cat care fits best into my schedule in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m available before work for quick morning check-ins, and after 4:00pm I have plenty of time for visits, feeding, playtime, and care. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can provide longer visits or extended care if needed. Since I only provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping your cats comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any specific rules for the home or cat. I make sure doors are secured, water is fresh, and cats are safe and during visits.

“Angie was wonderful with communication and photos. I would highly recommend and would use again. Thank you!”
