About: I have had a dog since I was 15 years old, and I have always been his primary caretaker. I have also watched friends and families pets where I have been responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing them. I have also had experience with pets who take medications. I am in Clinton for the summer, so I am looking for ways to fill time. Pet care seems like a great way to do it! I have pretty much open availability. When caring for your pet, I will follow your requests and provide the care that you see fit for your pet! I love to go above and beyond, so just let me know how I can best serve you and your pet.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. From afternoon visits to month-long stays, I’ve done it all. I also have experience caring for elderly and sick animals, including my own when she was diagnosed with cancer. I’m patient and kind towards all animals. I adopted two cats in Sept. of 2024 and adore them so much! I work part time at an ice cream shop in Jackson. I have free time in the mornings and most evenings due to the later shop hours. I’m open to any house sits and will stay with your pet! First off, I remain calm and easy when meeting an animal. If I’m able, I like to leave a belonging of mine so they can get used to my scent! I’m a very laidback person so lounging around the house and going out for a walk with your dog is perfect. I love giving pets and cuddling on the couch.

About: I have experience in dog walking and have worked in the Petsmart grooming salon. I have encountered all types of dogs including, but not limited to Great Danes, Chihuahuas, Bully breeds, seniors, puppies etc. From the time I was little, I loved animals and even wanted to own a zoo. My love for dogs began when my cousin got her first dog, Maximilian. By this time, I was afraid of dogs,l Max slowly eased me out of my fear and soon I wanted a dog of my own. My dog family grew when I got my dog Douglas. Douglas and I were best buds up until his passing in 2024. Currently, I currently have Bellatrix Lestrange (7 years, brown dog), Severus Snape (4 years black dog), and Aragorn "Oreo" (2, cat). . As of now I work a full time job Monday through Friday so I am only available on the weekends unless an emergency with one of my clients arises. My schedule changes on a week to week basis and I try my best to keep my Rover updated as soon as I get my schedule. I follow any and all instructions the owner provides. Dogs get plenty of play time and love and affection. I also have experience with cats and small rodents.

About: I’ve taken care of family member’s animals. I’ve had a couple of dogs in the past. I feed, walk, play, and take dogs to parks. I’m working a part time at night time and also have school in the mornings but will always make time to walk, watch, or play with your animals. I live on campus and live in a dorm that does allow dogs. I will be able to walk them around campus. I’ll also be able to watch animals at the client’s home.

About: As an animal lover, I've taken care of multiple animals since high school. The number of animals that where in my care ranged from dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I currently have a full time job from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. I am available for check-ins, housesitting, and walks in the morning. I have a small apartment that is great for smaller dogs and cats to roam. I provide toys and have a friendly rabbit to keep them company.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Ashlyn accepted a last minute request and did above and beyond what was asked! She took great care of my cats and was always very quick to respond!”

About: 8 years of professional petsitting experience on top of multiple years of pet ownership; includes housesitting, house maintenance, and care of non-traditional pets such as rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and wide open for plenty of time to love on your furry friends. I receive my schedule weeks in advance and am able to prioritize my clients effectively and ensure the highest quality of care. Due to my apartment complex not allowing pets, I care for pets at clients’ homes, whether that’s through pop-in visits to the home or housesitting for the amount of time needed. This ensures that your pets are in an environment that they are comfortable in. I communicate with clients before and throughout the visit to ensure they are kept in the loop while I care for their pets, including photos, and I never hesitate to ask questions if I have any.

About: I have been lovingly caring for my pets since age 6, and never looked back. At 10 years old I began training puppies and have experience with animals of all ages. Let your mind relax knowing your precious pets are in good hands! 🐩🐕🐈 I have wide open overnight plus afternoon availability to guaranty your puppies, kitties etc. are getting plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, love and more. Thanks! Upon booking I will request a thorough check list for your pets care. I want to ensure everyone is taken care of properly at all times!
