“Autumn has watched my kitty twice now and has done an amazing job despite my kitty's best attempts to be a problem. She made sure he got all the play time he needed and took care of his basic necessities. My kitty appreciated it!”

About: As an avid animal lover with six years of experience working with dogs—including those who are sick, injured, scared, or have been abused—I can accommodate any special requests to ensure your dog's comfort and happiness. My home is a safe, smoke, drug, and alcohol-free environment where your dog will feel loved and secure. Big or small, every dog is welcome! I aim to make your dog excited for every visit. Consider me to be your dog's home away from home! Early Morning (6-8 AM): I start the day with potty breaks and individual or group walks based on compatibility and needs. Provide fresh water and food according to each dog’s specific dietary plan. Late Morning (10 AM-12 PM): Engage in playtime, which could include fetch, puzzle toys, or simply supervised free play in a secure area followed by supervised outside time. Afternoon (2-4 PM): Quiet time for rest or individual attention like grooming, brushing, or cuddles. This helps reduce anxiety and provides a calm environment. Evening (6-8 PM): Dinner service, followed by a final walk to allow for potty breaks before bedtime. * Night (9-10 PM): Final check to ensure all dogs are comfortable, have access to water, and are securely settled for the night. Address any late-night needs like anxiety or discomfort. My top priority is creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. Each day includes structured playtime, regular walks, and plenty of opportunities for socialization, tailored to their individual energy levels and personalities. I provide nutritious meals, fresh water, and cozy resting spots to ensure their physical needs are met. Most importantly, I offer constant attention, affection, and a watchful eye to make sure each dog feels secure, loved, and right at home during their stay.

“Ashley was great! She gave the friendly cat lots of attention, and she made an incredible effort to keep track of the one that wouldn’t come out. Her updates and pictures made me feel comfortable being away from my cats. I really appreciated the care she gave to them.”


“Our cat was very happy to receive visits from Paige while we were on vacation. She was great with communication, sent us pictures each day, and most importantly, gave Dez the attention and care that he needs. We will be using her again for our next trip!”
