About: Prepare your pups for the ultimate play session right in the comfort of my home! With my dedicated care, your furry friends will enjoy tailored playdates and personalized attention. From energetic romps to cozy cuddle sessions, I ensure every pet's needs are met. Plus, you'll receive regular updates with adorable photos and videos capturing all the fun! As a dedicated pet sitter, what sets me apart from others is my unique combination of passion, experience, and specialized skills. Not only do I have a genuine love for animals, but I also bring a wealth of expertise in training puppies and providing attentive care. My commitment to ensuring the well-being of every furry friend is reflected in my ability to tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each individual pet. My husband and I work full-time; however, he sometimes works remotely. If he’s not remote, the dogs go out at 7 AM to potty and eat, at 11:30 AM to potty and play, at 4 PM to potty, play, and roam free or go for walks, and at 10 PM to potty and get ready for bed. I can explain more if needed! In providing pet care, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I prioritize the well-being and individual needs of my dogs. Through a thorough initial consultation, I gather essential information about my pet's routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions. Safety and comfort are paramount, ensuring a secure environment in both settings. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and playtime, adhering to any specified dietary plans and administering medications as needed. Regular communication, including updates and photos, keeps pet owners informed and reassured. Grooming, hygiene, and emergency preparedness are integral aspects of my care approach. Finally, I respect each pet's unique personality and preferences, fostering a positive and nurturing environment for their happiness and overall well-being.

About: Experienced Dog mom. Dog is God spelled backwards. Which is probably why I love dogs more than I do people. It’s been this way since I was a kid. A dog love and bond is just different. I have a 3 year old daughter who love Dogs as much as I do. She wants to pet every dog she sees. Dogs must be friendly with children, or I cannot be of service. Self employed so I’m home most of time. Free to be a companion to a lovable fur friend. While pet parents work or go on vacation I have a back porch deck with yard space. I am also close to a park where we can go play and let out some energy

Ashley P.
“I have known Ashley for a long time and know she has grown up her entire life caring for animals. I have watched her treat animals properly and respectfully giving them the exact care that they need. She is very patient with any animal and is willing to do anything to protect any animal even if it is not her own. She also has history of introducing new animals to one another in the same household showing her patience and willingness to work with animals, especially if said animals need time to get along with one another. I greatly recommend Ashley as a pet caregiver.”

“Aly has been an excellent caregiver for my 2 cats for the past 7 years. She understands their quirks, administers pills to one with a chronic illness, and most importantly, they love her! She gives them the attention they need, plays and cuddles with them, and always takes care of feeding and watering them. If she says she'll be there, she will be there. She's utterly trustworthy around my home and with my pets.”

Allison C.
“Our family highly recommends Allison for all your pets needs! She has a wealth of knowledge and understanding of all our animals very quickly. Our family has a pitbull, who absolute loves her and is all wiggles for her. He actually jumped into the tub for when the word bath was mentioned, he’s never done this for us! We also have 2 cats, one of which normally prefers to greet men only, Allison is her only exception! When we go on vacation, Ally is our go to sitter because we know she will love and care for our animals wholeheartedly. This includes our free range chickens😁 Our daughter brought home a frog from a school lesson, 4 years into it with sports and homework, it proved to be to much for her to keep the tank clean. Allison happily adopted the frog and its living its best life with Allison and his other “roommates”. We find ourselves asking Ally questions about our animals frequently. Her knowledge and compassion are truly remarkable! If you’re in need of a pet sitter/walker in the Rome, NY area, Allison should be your first call!”
