Doggy Day Care Talent

“It is such a huge relief to me to be able to drop off my dachshund Lucy and know 100% that she is in competent and caring hands with Linda. My dog recently came out of rescue, and Linda knows how to guide her into her best life ever.”

“Sheri is a very thoughtful and responsible dog sitter. We could not have asked for a better companion for our six-year-old mutt. I cannot recommend her more highly.”

“Bryce and Nate were very flexible on timing and patient with Cloud as he settled in. Great to have them as an option when traveling in Ashland”

“Jennifer was great, Atlas had a great time and I really appreciate that she was able to take him with kind of short notice :)”

“Anika is great! She took excellent care of my dog Bear, who can have a little separation anxiety. She is a good communicator and sent lots of pictures during the day. Bear obviously had a great time playing with the other dogs and came home happy and exhausted from playing in her beautiful big yard. Anika just has a great way with all the dogs. You can tell she loves and cares for them like they are her own.”

“This was our first time leaving our puppy and Johanna was great! Everything was seemless and he came back a tired, happy pup!”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and currently. I have a quiet lil home , with a very safe and secure yard. Your fur baby will be supervised at all times while outside. And while inside all dogs allowed on the furniture and the bed. Im a mature 65 year old semi retired female ,so your fur baby wil get lots of attention and love. My lil dog DAISEY is a docile , friendly 14 lb Maltipoo. She is great with all other dogs, always eager to play. I just added a second dog female mini dashound Petunia to the family. I can take your dog to the dog park ,or hiking trails if they do well with outings. My back yard is a great place to hang out, I have multiple doggie beds in the garden, and a safe secure play space. I can administer any medications or special diet your dog needs. And will keep accurate records while they are in my care, sending daily photos if you’d like . I will always be home while your dog is on my care , your dog will have full attention and care at all times. If there is a time I need to be gone it will never be for more than a hour. Weather permitting if your dog likes to ride along they will come with me. I have a secure yard with a tall fence. My gate is always latched from the inside to ensure your pet is safe. Most of the time I’m out in the garden, painting, reading or lazing around with the dogs……my favorite place to be 😃 Your dog will always be supervised while in my little yard.

“Paris was wonderful! Response time exceptional and her attention to Lunar's needs during Lunar's visit were super. Lunar received all the cuddles and potty breaks a small dog requires and enough attention to ease her anxiety. I really appreciate how Paris interacted with Lunar so that Lunar was comfortable and loved during her stay.”

“We left our almost 2 year old lab Charley with Alan for day care for about 7 hours while we explored Ashland and went to the Shakespeare Festival to see a play. Alan took Charley to play at the dog park and also to cool off in the creek. He said pictures and let us know how she was doing during the day. Charley had a great time with Alan. She was safe and happy and we knew our girl was in good hands! I would highly recommend Alan for doggy daycare and will use him again next time we come to beautiful Ashland!”

“Kyndra is a great pet sitter. I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time (I’m an over protective dog mom) and she sent updates and photos of my pup and assured me she was having a good time. Will def use again when I’m back in town.”

Suzanne E.

“Kristina was so wonderful with Rosie! Rosie did not want to leave! She had lots of toys to play with & lots of love! Kristina sent funny pics and updates through Rosie’s stay and she responded quickly to my texts and questions. I will definitely reach out to Kristina again to care for Rosie & I highly recommend her & Winter to care for your dog!”

About: I grew up around all kinds of animals and even had up to 7 dogs at one point in my childhood home! I’ve always loved having pets and I even used to pet sit for neighbors frequently. I’m currently not working so I’m able to pet sit Monday-Sunday! I’m open to following specific routines that you have for your pet. I’m also available to do overnights if needed :) I do have a fenced in yard where I can supervise your pet. I currently have no personal pets of my own. I love to maintain their schedule as I know it could be hard for your pet to be in a new environment.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. I’ve house sit for friends and family and taken care of their animals. I also have three friendly dogs and a cat of my own. I live on a farm with tons of space to play! I work from home as an on-site property manager. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have some time in my day I could fill. I live in an apartment in a very walkable neighborhood. My apartment complex also comes with a pet station that is a fenced area for pets to roam and also use the bathroom.

About: My background in animal care extends well beyond traditional pet sitting. I completed extensive veterinary technology education while working full-time in a large, multi-department veterinary hospital, gaining years of hands-on experience with animals ranging from healthy puppies and routine-care patients to senior, hospitalized, post-op, and medically complex dogs. My subsequent transition into “human” healthcare has further strengthened the attention to detail and standard of care that I bring to every animal entrusted to me. My veterinary experience provided a comprehensive foundation in safe animal handling, canine behavior/temperament recognition, medication administration, medical-condition awareness, post-op care, and the identification of subtle changes that may indicate pain, anxiety, or physical distress. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and overall presentation that may warrant closer observation or communication with a pet-parent. I am comfortable caring for dogs across all ages, sizes, and levels of need, including puppies, senior dogs, animals requiring additional behavioral consideration, and pets with established medical or mobility needs. My experience includes oral and injectable medication administration, incision and wound care, mobility assistance, post-operative monitoring, and incontinence-related care. Whether providing a walk, drop-in visit, extended sitting, or boarding, I approach pet care with the same principles that have guided my professional healthcare experience: attentive observation, appropriate precautions, consistency, clear communication, and respect for individualized care requirements. My goal is not simply to supervise a pet while an owner is away, but to provide knowledgeable, responsible care while maintaining the routine, safety, and level of attention each individual animal requires. I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care and am currently preparing for my board examinations, which allows me a highly flexible schedule and the ability to be home much of the time. At present, I have considerable availability for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet-care needs, and I am able to adjust my study schedule around confirmed bookings. Once I begin working in the hospital, my anticipated schedule will consist of three scheduled shifts per week, leaving the remaining four days largely open and predictable for pet care. I do not have children or other routinely changing obligations that would interfere with confirmed bookings. Any known limitations to my availability will always be communicated in advance, and with clear communication regarding your pet’s schedule and needs, I am currently able to accommodate a wide range of scheduling requests. Safety and attentive supervision are priorities in our home. Between my husband and me, our dogs are never left home without one of us present, and I maintain that same standard of supervision for pets entrusted to my care. I would not leave a pet unattended while I am responsible for their care. We have a fully fenced backyard and maintain a clean, organized, and uncluttered home and outdoor environment. With a five-month-old puppy of our own, our home is consistently kept pet-safe, with unsafe or inappropriate items secured and inaccessible. I am also careful and deliberate when managing interactions between animals and never assume unfamiliar dogs can simply be left together unsupervised. Introductions, outdoor access, feeding, and shared spaces are appropriately supervised, with the safety and comfort of each individual pet remaining the priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain the same standard of supervision, respect for their environment, and attention to safety.

“My dog is a lot to handle sometimes, she did amazing! I would rebook her any day:)”

About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.

“Kiera was so kind, quick to respond, and took amazing care of our Great Dane, Deku. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Dogs loved her and they were well behaved.”

“My dog was so happy that she was going to Shelly's house. When I picked her up, she was smiling ear to ear and exhausted. She had such a fun day.”

LaDawn M.

“Charli and her fiance were fantastic with our anxious girl Daphne! She made me feel at ease, this was the first time we ever have let Daphne stay with someone who wasn't family. We will be a return customer, I'm so delighted with how it went!”
