Ashley was great! We planned a last min day trip and she was able to check in on our fur kiddos no problem. Both were happy when we got home. 😊

About: I’ve owned/raised pets (dogs, cats, fish, a chinchilla, etc.) throughout my life. Over the past few years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s animals of various ages; as well as house-sat simultaneously. The most at a time I’ve watch was six dogs over the course of three-four days. I can confidently provide any pets feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, bathing, and any special medications or routines. I’ve never had any issues, but would not hesitate to contact owners about questions or concerns—communication is key! While I may not have “professional” expertise in pet-sitting, that doesn’t hinder my ability to adore and properly watch anyone’s pets. I wish to grow and expand as a pet-caretaker and house-sitter, and I hope to leave lasting positive impression on any and all future clients! I currently have a part-time job, typically working 2-4 days a week, with 8 hour shifts—the scheduling is a tad inconsistent but I organize accordingly. Even with my job, I will keep the pets and house of the client a top-priority. I don’t go out much besides work, and if I do it’s not for very long; likely 4-6 hours at most. Besides work, I am in school but it’s online so my schedule is very open and flexible. I do own pets of my own, a dog (Lily) and a cat (Loki); Lily is two years old and Loki is eight, and they are both very special to me. Since I live with my parents, I also care for five other cats which are my mother’s, and they are all adorable little rascals. We let the cats free fed, keeping their bowls full, but for my dog I feed her twice a day; breakfast and dinner. I make my own wet food for my pup since she won’t eat kibble without it, it’s a simple but healthy mix of rice, turkey or chicken, and vegetables. When it’s not freezing outside, I enjoy taking my dog out on daily morning walks. For the potty, we keep three litter boxes, cleaning day and night, and for Lily I take her out on a leash to our backyard which is unfortunately not fenced in. The only time I use a crate for my dog is when I’m gone from the house and nobody else is there. For clients, I respect any and all rules or requirements set, both for the house and the pets. Although I’m not messy, I still make sure to do a proper clean of the abode before owners return home.

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and stimulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set-up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me! I have a very flexible schedule and can take care of your pets in the afternoon or evenings during Monday-Friday. With ample notice, I can even take care of your pet in the mornings Monday-Friday. On weekends, I can take care of your pet at any time! I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for in my care.

About: I grew up with dogs small to large and learned to take care of them like they were family. If you take care of pets they will take care of you. I also had a one year volunteering experience at an Animal Shelter in Florida managing the cat house. Cats of all shapes, sizes and conditions lived there waiting for someone to take them to their new home. I work during the week but am able to take breaks for pet potty breaks and to feed them. I've house and pet sat for multiple clients taking the pets with me if needed. Weekends are usually pretty open for me and I'm able to stay with the pets all day. If a pet is crate trained I'm ok letting them free roam and sleep in my bed. If they are not crate trained letting them out routinely to avoid messes would be a must.

About: Since 2006, I’ve been a dedicated dog mom, foster, and senior caretaker. I’ve stepped away from the 9-to-5 to pursue my true passion: pups! Whether we’re hitting the trails for daily adventures or I’m treating them to a relaxing massage, I’m all-in on canine care. And if the mood is right, I might even serenade them with a song! I’m officially trading the office life for more wagging tails! My schedule is wide open to build genuine, soulful connections with your pups through hikes, massages, and specialized senior care. I’m fully dedicated to my four-legged clients, though I always carve out "paws-on" time to ensure my own pack gets the same love and daily adventures they deserve. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family (and maybe even sings them a tune), I’m your person! I truly love caring for pups in the comfort of their own homes. I have a deep respect for the routines and systems you’ve already built—after all, you know your dog best! My goal is to honor those rhythms while gently building a soulful bond of my own. I’ll stick to your schedule to keep things peaceful and familiar, simply adding in my own little "extras"—like a calming massage, a happy song, or a fun trail walk—to make their day a bit brighter. It’s all about keeping them happy, relaxed, and loved right where they belong.

About: I’ve taken in multiple stray animals I’ve found. I’ve also volunteered at numerous animal shelters and have had pets since I was a young kid. I am working part time on my own schedule so I will always make time for anyone’s pets! I am pretty flexible as long as your needs are communicated. I have a small friendly dog at home with many dogs in the neighborhood. There is plenty of space for walking and playing in and outside the house.

Being new to the valley, we were so blessed to have found Jen. She’s walks our dog Dakoda when my partner and I work and we are going to continue to have her walk him, and also dog sit when needed. Jen is quick with her responses, super personable, knowledgeable about all breeds, and the best of all updates and sends pics of her adventures. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a dog sitter!

About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I understand the full range of care from early training to senior needs. My oldest dog is 11 and my youngest is 8. This gives me experience with all ranges of dog care from puppy routines, basic training, and providing extra patience and comfort for aging dogs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment so they feel comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher on summer vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to be available for consistent visits, walks, and extra attention to meet each pet’s individual needs. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection.

So glad that Tessa could take Alfred in a midday walk while I worked. Gave me peace of mind knowing he was taken care of and wouldn’t have to wait for me if I couldn’t get away from work for a lunch time walk. Thank you so much!!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over two years and have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I provide reliable walks, attentive feeding, playtime, and calm, loving care during sitting. I treat every dog like my own and focus on safety, routine, and happy fur babies I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I regularly feed, walk, and take my roommate’s pets out for potty breaks when she’s at work or out of town, so I’m comfortable sticking to routines and providing consistent care. I provide a safe, calm environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. My roommate’s two friendly dogs may be around at times, but are always supervised and very well behaved. I monitor all interactions carefully, can separate dogs when needed, and can crate dogs upon request. Safety, cleanliness, and clear communication are always my main priorities.

About: I love all animals, with proper direction I’m positive I can give adequate care to any and all animals and ensure their safety and health. I work full time with a nonprofit organization downtown that helps unhoused youths. My schedule is Sunday through Thursday from 2:30 pm - 10:30. My days off are Friday and Saturday. I can take one break depending on the how far the location is from my work to give a potty break. In my free time I’m devoted to whatever may come and is needed for any and all pets ❤️ I’ve worked with the state for most of my adult life and always have passed a background check. My resume includes elderly care, hospital healthcare, in home healthcare, and most recently three years as a domestic violence/homeless shelter advocate with a non profit organization in rural Alaska. I’ve had animals my entire life and enjoy the company of all! I have experience with not only cats and dogs but fish, rodents and reptiles as well. I am open and eager to learn and care for all different kinds of animals and am confident in my abilities to do so with adequate information from the pet parents.

About: I've had both cats and dogs since I was born along with other animals like a hamsters, rabbits, and even a chameleon. I am huge animal lover and very committed to keeping your furry friends happy and healthy. I pride my self on being tedious about following clients instructions to provide the best experience. In addition to my love of animals and taking care of my own animals I also have plenty of experience taking care of others pets. I currently work at specialty veterinary clinics and have for the past year and a half. I also have a significant history pet sitting. I have worked as a private pet sitter and have taken care of friends, family, and neighbors animals while they've been out of town since I was 12. In addition to working experience I have also completed a semester of Veterinary school abroad with plans to continue my education next year. Working in veterinary clinics and as a sitter has given me experience working with reactive and anxious dogs and administrating medications to both dogs and cats. I currently work a relief schedule and typically know my schedule for the month by the first of the month. Once my schedule is set it is often hard to change but given enough notice I have lots of availability. However since my workload changes month to month so I some months I may be relatively open for scheduling with little notice. I pride myself on being very tedious about following clients instructions to provide the best experience. I can promise you I will do my absolute best taking care of your animals. Just tell me anything you want me to do and I will do my best to accommodate. I will also provide walks for any service if requested.

About: I have helped out friends by watching their dogs for the past few years and now have a dog of my own, so feel confident in dog sitting for others! I am a nurse so have multiple consecutive days off so am able to provide lots of exercise. I love taking dogs out for adventures and their company around the house. I have a large fenced back yard and live close to trails for easy access to activities. My dog, Finn, is a lab husky village mix and loves the company of others! We are both happy to welcome other dogs or cats into our home or go out on walks/adventures! On my days off I like to get outside for exercise with my dog, Finn, so will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I can also do neighborhood walks or go to the dog park! I have a fenced backyard so can offer frequent potty breaks. I will ensure your dog is well cared for and listen to any of your specific needs or requests. I will closely monitor any interactions with other dogs, pets, and wildlife.
