Ashley took great care of our furbaby. She sent pictures so we could see what he was up to while she was with him. So glad Ashley was dropping in while we were away.

Misty was excellent. She helped me out after my usual sitter canceled last minute. She gave me updates on my pups very regularly and was very responsive to contact.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was young (including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters and guinea pigs) and I currently have 3 cats. 2 of my cats are declawed and get along with the dogs, 1 cat has claws. I'm use to caring for the unique needs of senior pets, including extra bathroom breaks and administering meds. I have three kids, 2 in college and a 17yo, that love pets as well and assist when they can. I live on 12 acres well away from the road but the yard is not fenced. I opened a business in town 9/2021 so I'm no longer home during the day but my husband works from home and when the kids are home from college they assist. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet(s)! My husband works from home so he can care for them and keep them company during the day. I own a business in town and am usually home by 4pm. I have three kids that love dogs and assist when schedules permit. My cats also get along well with dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture but we do play with them if they are the playing kind or let them sleep if that is their preference.

About: I’ve been an animal keeper for the last 3-4 years working with various exotic wildlife and am currently the Vet Tech/Keeper for (mostly) lemurs. I have great experience and knowledge working with animals (including domestic pets). I volunteered at my local animal shelter working with dogs and cats for many years, doing routine tasks such as feeding, cleaning, bathing, and walking. Apart from basic necessities like feeding and cleaning, I also have great experience preparing and administering medications and am confident in my abilities to handle exceptional dogs and cats that may need more complex care. Outside of my work experience, I have my own personal experience caring for my family pets, including dogs, cats, many rodents, and now chickens. Since high school I have frequently pet sat for friends and acquaintances with a wide range of pets including dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and horses. I am available in the mornings most weekdays, with lesser availability on the weekends. My availability can be flexible upon notice. On weekends right now, I am available only in the late afternoon and evenings. Am only looking to care for pets at the client’s house due to my own housing and pet situation. I’ve cared for pets in this context before and first and foremost, I respect people’s property and homes and can be trusted to be professional and clean. I am flexible to work accordingly with the client’s preferences in regard to how they their pets need to be cared for.

About: I have hands on experience with small breeds, large breeds, high energy dogs, puppies, and those who are shy or skittish. I don’t take a one size fits all approach, I adjust to each dog’s temperament, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, confidence building, or just extra affection, I meet them where they are and care for them like they’re my own, and they might even learn a few new tricks along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because animals are already at the center of my future. As a full-time college student working toward becoming a veterinarian, caring for pets isn’t just a side job, it’s hands on experience that strengthens my knowledge and deepens my understanding of animal behavior. I work part-time on the weekends, which keeps my weekdays flexible and open for walks, and quality time with pets. Spending time with animals is something that grounds me and genuinely brings me joy, so it never feels like “extra work.” It’s part of who I am and the career I’m building toward. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow your instructions closely weather it be feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, or any specific house rules you have. I take time to understand your pet’s personality so I can respond calmly and confidently, whether they’re playful, shy, high energy, or more protective. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure water bowls, food areas, and yard spaces stay tidy. I provide updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home, and you feel at ease knowing they’re in steady, caring hands.

About: Hi there! My name is Hayley, I am 20 years old, and have an extreme love and passion for ALL animals! Since, I was a baby and got my first cat at 6 weeks old, I have grown up in a household full of animals with everything from cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, you name it, and those animals have taught me so much, enough that I want to give back to the local community and their animals! My specialties are with cats and dogs of any age, though if you have another animal in need of service, I am open to anything! Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I have trained since they were 8 weeks old. I also have knowledge in feeding and medication management, daily exercise and enrichment activities, routine care (bathing animals) and hygiene maintenance, and I always strive to have strong, reliable communication with owners of your furry friends! Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Fridays: I am available anytime after 3 pm Thursdays: available from 12-5pm and from 8-10pm Weekends: Open availability (I am a college student so my schedule can vary but I always provide clients with clarifications a week prior to my visit) As I previously mentioned, I have two dogs (both Jack Russells) of my own that are 2 and 8 years old. I strive to maintain a clean space and comfortable for my pets where they can relax and follow their usual routines with no worries. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide daily exercise and playtime, and ensure their safety by always supervising. They have designated rest areas (although I do allow animals on furniture), plenty of enrichment activities/toys, and lots of affection of course! I am always supervising them, making sure they are healthy, eating/drinking, and exercising correctly. In a clients home is a bit different as this is not my personal space. I tend to follow the routine/schedule exactly as written and complete the usual duties such as feeding, walking, playtime, waste/litter cleanup, etc. I keep the home clean, ensure safety over the property and animals, and provide regular updates and photos to owners. I always double check and make sure all pets are comfortable, safe, and have everything they need in their space before I leave.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the heart I bring into caring for every pet as if they were my own. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality—whether it’s a playful puppy learning the ropes or a wise senior who just wants a little extra love and comfort. I have hands-on experience with both, including basic puppy training and senior care like administering medication and helping them move around gently and safely. I'm calm, patient, and genuinely invested in making pets feel safe, happy, and understood while their people are away. Building that trust with both the pet and their owner is something I value deeply. I currently work from home, so I'm flexible in home or drop by care. I am able to walk, play and tend to needs as needed. I will ask pet parents the routine the pet is used to in their home. I will try to maintain the schedule to the best of ability while I am in their home. Cuddles, loves and reassurance will always be in that routine. In my home, they will join into the family of constant fun. Joining 2 neutered male Aussies who love to have company ane planty of excercise. We have chickens and acres to run. We often walk around visit our neighbors goats and horses, collect eggs. We will be sure to have an inside bed/crate for them to sleep in at night. They will be fed separately and will have fresh water available all day. Nap times through out the day is permitted as they lay anywhere they want while I work. They are permitted to hang out, looking out the windows; watching birds, deer, cars passing by and sometimes up close and unleash fury barking at the Amazon delivery person. We often indulge in treats if permitted and there is tons of snuggle breaks.

About: Lots of love and interaction with your dog. Consider it dog camp! Only one dog family is boarded at a time. Your dog will get supervised outdoor time in my fenced in shady yard, walks, and plenty of love. No aggressive dogs. Must get along with cats. Crate training is preferred as a safety measure. My beloved border collie died in 2021 at 18 years old and I'm not ready for a new dog but I'm available to work with yours! I work remotely and am around the house much of the day. Let’s set up a meet and greet. I work remotely, so potential for caring for your pet(s) in the afternoon, evenings and weekends. If your dog gets along with cats, short stays in my home are ok. Fenced in yard and walkable neighborhood. Fenced in yard for time in the sun and ball/frisbee tossing. Hikes on safe nature trails available, at an extra cost for well behaved pups.

Ashley did a fantastic job caring for our three rescue cats. They are all very shy and tend to be afraid of new people, so finding someone they feel safe around is not easy. Somehow Ashley managed to create a sense of calm and trust that we have never experienced with other sitters. She even got our feral cat to come out while she was there, and one of our rescues felt comfortable enough to play, which is truly remarkable. Seeing that level of patience and care brought so much peace and gratitude to my heart while I was away. Thank you so much for the loving care you gave our boys, Ashley. It means more than you know, and we are so grateful to have found you. 🙏❤️
