“Amanda was great! Provided great updates and took great care of my cats.”
“Rick was great to work with, lots of communication and my cats just love him! Will definitely book with Rick again.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 5+ years with over 15 separate families I care for as needed. Im all about giving you peace of mind when you need to leave your pets no matter what! Any animals big or small, I can care for them all! I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter so my schedule is 100% free and open to taking care of your pet’s needs! I have 2 cats at my house that I care for daily and I have grown up owning many pets. I prefer to stay at your home with your pets to make their time away from you as comfortable as possible. I know pets can have anxiety especially when they are left with strangers for the first time so I’m careful to stay close to routine and not overstep in your pets home. I care about your pets care and treat every pet as our own.

“Kylie was very efficient! She responded quickly & booked my check in visit the day before which I appreciated. She sent photos & updated me. Will use again!”
“Jaedy did a great job with my 3 cats, including one that needs insulin shots daily. I highly recommend her!”
“Rebecca is wonderful!! She took such good care of our sweet kitty while we were away. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Courtney has been awesome with our puppy Stanley! She was able to schedule with us on short notice and has been super flexible with our schedule. Would recommend her for sure!”
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways! I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time
“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”
“Great service and communication the entire time.”
“I've got a very positive review not only for Kim, but in general for the Rover service. Kim came over early to make sure she got along with our cat, Steve McBoots, and to ensure she had his routine down. She took excellent care of him and completed all we requested of her daily. We felt very safe with Kim being in our home while we were gone to look after our dear Steve. Unfortunately, Steve developed a bad infection while we were out of town. Kim's detailed reports helped us identify just how long Steve was sick, and how sick he was. We are very thankful this service exists. Situations like this are exactly why we booked it. Happy to report Steve is on an antibiotic and seems to be improving.”
“We were so lucky to find a dog walker in Ashland. Kim is only 10 minutes away from our campsite at Ashland RV Campground. It was such a relief finding her. Very easy to work with, walked and played with Dixie for about 45 minutes. We've used her twice & will continue while here for CWS.”
“Alexis took wonderful care of my 3 kitties and my house. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have and will always have a passion for animals. I've had a wide range of pets and experience with animals. I work a full-time job but love to get in early morning or evening walks. My schedule is flexible so I can talk with you to find something that works best. Aside from pets I have owned, I have frequently cared for family and friends' pets while they were away. I have volunteered time at the local humane society and was part of a horse club for 5 years as a child. A also have experience as an adult. I have worked with dogs, cats, horses, Snakes, hamsters gerbils rats and mice, birds some amphibians, and some aquarium life like fish, shrimp, turtles, and lizards. I also have a few bee hives. 🐝🍯 I had 4 dogs and enjoyed every minute of it and have missed having a dog companion in my home. I currently have 3 cats and love to dog/cat sit for my family, friends and neighbor. I have seinor pet experience. My brother and sister-in-law foster dogs, as they have a love for animals as well. I've had a lot of exposure to many furry friends. 🤎 I plan to train and learn more by taking classes, so I can provide the best care possible with as much knowledge as I can learn. I'm currently full-time with some flexibility and I would love to help you with your furry friend needs. Lets meet and see what I can do to help. I love early mornings: Mondays and Fridays work best. I'm also available for some afternoon/evening hours on Thursdays, and evenings on Friday. I am currently not booking weekends but this may change soon, so check back. I do meet-&-greets for first time clients and then bookings to follow. You are not considered booked until your booking is paid, you will then be added to my schedule, at which dates/times will be locked in. I require a 3 day cancelation at this time but understand that things come up. I currently only do 30min and 60min drop ins. And 60min walks. Future boardings to come, check back. I like to acknowledge not only the importance of your pet but of you, your family and the home I work in. Things I would like to know about your pet: Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if you have any preferences I can accommodate. Anything you can share about your dog will help me take care of them better.

Kayleen S.
“Kayleen is very patient and gentle with all her animals. Whenever we are visiting she is the first person to offer to watch our dogs. She's very attentive to detail so you don't have to tell her more than once about feeding times or potty schedules. There is also a dog park near by if the dogs want some extra exercise, which she is more than happy to take them on walks. Reptiles are not my thing but she has done a great job raising her turtles and fish, even a few snakes. 5/5 stars.”
