About: I am an experienced pet owner who has had the pleasure of caring for a variety of animals since I was a kid, including large dogs, cats and everything in between. I have a deep love and respect for animals which has allowed me to become an attentive and compassionate animal caregiver! I love walking dogs it’s one of the best days to connect with them while giving them fresh air and exercise. Taking them to the park, beach, or strolling the neighborhood nothing brings me more joy than hanging out with a dog! As a runner and gym goer, I start my days early and would be ready to go for a dog walk well before sunrise if needed. I schedule the walks and playtime before my other commitments giving me plenty of time to ensure they are fed, walked and comfortable. It starts my day off right with extra fresh air! I do the same thing on a weekly basis, I plan out dog sitting and activities around other obligations while staying flexible. I want to have as many opportunities to spend with dogs as possible! With others homes regarding pet sitting, I respect the existing pets schedule for walking, food and water keeping a consistent schedule that they are used to. I love spending time with dogs and pets, giving cuddles, attention and just hanging out with them! I make sure to maintain safety, checking doors windows and gates before leaving and the space clean. I also make sure to regularly check in with the owners including photos so they can know their pet is in good hands and doing well!
“Ashley was friendly , polite, reliable, great attitude, and my dog warmed up with her right away. Freedom had a great time on their walk and ran back to thank her so I could tell he was very happy . I would definitely recommend her as someone you can trust with your dog , even if the dog is tentative meeting new Dogwalkers! Good luck Ashley!”
About: I have been caring for the pets of friends and family for over 8 years. I am the primary pet sitter for my mom's dog when she travels. I work from home and can drop in at lunch or before or after work. If needed I am happy to hang out for a longer period to play with your pet as well. I can stop in to feed your cat, change litter, fill water, or play with them. I am comfortable with traditional litter boxes or cleaning and refilling robotic ones.
About: Hey there! Thanks for stopping by :) I currently work from home full time so have a flexible schedule when it comes to walks, boarding and day care. I’ve grown up with pets and have done Rover sitting for a bit now— I most recently adopted my own pup named Vito. He is so sweet and so good with other dogs. He does well with other dogs in our home and in other environments and walks well with a friend too:) Since I work from home I can cater to numerous potty breaks and walks and keep your pup on a good schedule. We have all hard wood floors, two floors of living space and a closed off roof deck that Vito loves to enjoy. No fenced in back yard but I live right by a few different parks and the beach is a quick walk down the road. Contact me with any questions— we look forward to meeting you:) I currently work from home full time so I’m able to have a flexible schedule and cater to whatever your pets needs are when they’re staying with us. No fenced in yard, but a closed off roof deck for controlled outdoor time when just “lounging”. I personally crate train my dog but am happy to follow whatever plans you have in place with your pet. Lots of walks and belly rubs and time socializing with my own dog Vito :)
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Rachel gave to our dog Yogi. He’s a 70lb puppy at 10 months and she not only kept us updated throughout with adorable pictures but also was accommodating to our somewhat complicated requests. We highly recommend her, thank you again Rachel!”
“Madi did a wonderful job taking our dog on a few walks this week! She is caring and communicates very well, would definitely recommend her to take care of your furry loved ones”
About: I have dog sat plenty of dogs and I love to play with them. It is my goal to keep them happy as they make me happy. I have had plenty experience, walking, feeding, entertaining, and relaxing with dogs. I currently work remote for the most part - I have flexibility with working from home, allowing myself to dog walk/care for dogs while on the clock. I am able to a good eye on the pets and make sure that they are in a safe environment wherever they are - whether it is at my home or a clients home.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for pretty much my whole life and even grew up with 4 dogs, two chinchillas, and a guinea pig in one household for years. I love taking them on walks and even just hanging around the house. I have a dog of my own, I work from home most days so she’s never lonely. We usually go for at least one walk or run a day and I’ll take her to dog parks on the weekends so she gets some play time with other animals. I can your dog on a run if they are high energy. I could visit your home multiple times to feed them or give them attention throughout the day.
