About: I grew up on a cattle ranch and have taken care of livestock cats dogs all my life I like animals more than people for sure I’m a morning person so I like to get out early and feed an exercise and then come back late afternoon early evening to feed again When I bring animals to my house. They’re welcome as a member of the family and can jump on the furniture or the bed just like my animals do
“We’re so grateful to have found such an awesome cat sitter! Ashton took amazing care of our two cats while we were away, sent us daily updates and photos, and made sure our cat felt safe, happy, and loved the whole time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Our cats were totally relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!), and everything was clean and tidy. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I truly love being around them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve taken care of diabetic cats, including giving insulin injections on schedule, so I’m comfortable with pets who need special medical attention. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, administering medications, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like family. I’m currently home from college for the summer so my schedule right now is really flexible! I am pretty much available every day of the week. I care for pets in their own homes to help them feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. When I visit, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walking, giving meds, or playtime. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. At home, I care for my Great Pyrenees and my cat, so I understand how important it is to build trust with animals and treat them with love and respect.
