Pet Sitting Southgate

About: No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life. You name it, I'm down for it. I have confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially. I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop. I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

“Leandrea did a superb job with my kitty Sunny! I was anxious about leaving him due to him just having surgery a couple of days prior, but I was immediately put at ease with her quality of care! I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking for all my pet needs in the future! Thank you for being so wonderful!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

About: Hi, I’m Ashling! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, spent my teenage years as the go-to neighborhood babysitter and pet sitter, and today, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful Wheatens of my own. ​Because of my personal experience with dogs of all backgrounds, I understand that every animal is unique. My philosophy is to always meet animals where they are at—building trust at their pace while providing a safe, confident, and structured environment. I'm currently accepting weekday appointments for now and will accept some overnights and weekends. I have a flexible schedule at this point and will be able to care for pets multiple times throughout the day and night. I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and try to follow the schedule and routine to make sure your pet is comfortable in their home while you're away. Their safety and comfort is my highest priority.

About: Providing reliable, professional care for your pet. I offer dog walking and house sitting services in your home or overnight boarding and doggie day care options in our home. And if your dog has special care needs I can accommodate one dog at a time for a more comfortable stay. Free Meet & Greet with all new clients so we can review your dog's routine, go over your expectations, and decide if I am a good fit for you. You'll receive regular photo updates throughout your pet's stay. Please reach out with any questions! All reviews and feedback are appreciated I am available for services throughout the week and on the weekends part-time with some flexibility depending on the dates. I can accommodate longer stays based on circumstances and care requirements, happy to discuss further! I will follow the owner's guidelines and treat your house and pets with respect. I use a common sense approach to safety and will stay vigilante when spending time with your loved one. I believe in clear communication and am happy to update you as much as needed. Thank you allowing me to help relieve some of the petcare duties for your dog or cat. My personal goal is to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you are away!

“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She watched my cat Blue while I was gone and sent loads of adorable pictures and videos daily and kept me updated on how Blue was doing. She took the extra time to play with him and brush him, and handled giving him his ear drops and medication fantastically!! I definitely recommend Courtney and look forward to continuing to work with her for all my pet sitting needs :)”

“During the visit there was a moderate snafu with the Rover app showing visit times. When recognized Dev quickly remedied the situation by doing a visit later in the day. Dev followed all the detailed instructions to take care of my old guys!”

About: I am a lover of all animals (dogs, cats, snakes, you name it) and have always owned cats. I've regularly dogsat for family members while they're on vacation, but my cat Lily does not get along well with dogs, so I have never had one personally. I am very active and outdoorsy, and would make sure your furbabies remain active and happy while they're being cared for by me. I am comfortable caring for animals who may require a little extra love, as my family cat Lily is a senior girl who requires twice daily medication. I work a part-time service industry job, so I am always available before 3pm on weekdays, and do not tend to work very long shifts on any day of the week other than Saturday. My schedule varies every week, but I would not accept a job for days that I will be working too much. My family cat, Lily, is 17.5 years old with severe hearing loss and a twice daily medication. I regularly medicate her and ensure she is happy and healthy throughout the day, and would do the same with your furbabies.

About: I’m a cat-focused pet sitter who is comfortable caring for cats with different personalities, including shy or nervous cats who need patience and space to warm up. I pay close attention to each cat’s normal routine and behavior. During visits, I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and lots of companionship. I know how important it is for cat parents to feel updated, so I send photo updates after every visit. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so cat care fits best into my schedule in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m available before work for quick morning check-ins, and after 4:00pm I have plenty of time for visits, feeding, playtime, and care. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can provide longer visits or extended care if needed. Since I only provide care in my client’s home, I focus on keeping your cats comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box care, and any specific rules for the home or cat. I make sure doors are secured, water is fresh, and cats are safe and during visits.

“Michelle is a saint! Every time we leave our biggest girl gets sick and Michelle is a trooper and makes sure she is taken care of and cleans up the messes. 🤢 Both our girls love her and would always check her availability first when in need.”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I provide the exercise, affection, and midday relief they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Currently I’m working part time only on the weekends, so I have all the time during the week to care for your pets! Mornings, afternoons, and nights. My pets live the best life in my home! In your home trust me I will care for them as my own. I will follow whatever instructions you give me.
