Pet Sitting The Colony

About: UCLA Alum and policy professional with a dependable, hybrid schedule. I specialize in pet concierge service for clients including principals, c-suite, medical professionals, and start-up founders. Attention to detail is critical to serve both the client and pets specific needs. I’ve grown up with dogs from puppy age to elderly. I watch dog training videos in my free time. I nursed my own puppy at 3 months old back to health when she broke her leg. That means I’m persistent and dedicated to loving on pets to make them happy. It also means I can get creative with getting pets to take their medicine and supplements. I am pleased for the opportunity to serve you and your furry family. Thank you for your valuable time. I mostly work from home, 8 am to 5 pm. With planning and forethought, I am happy to help you when I am not working. I treat your pets like my pets! I am happy to give ample exercise and play to your pets indoors and outdoors, whatever your preference.

About: I was raised with both dogs and cats and am used to having a pet filled household. I know the variety of personalities our pets can have and how best to interact with them based on that. I have sat for both cats and dogs previously and have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. I have taken care of cats on a regular basis. I know the cuddle bugs and the ones that want to be left alone well. I have take care of a variety of dogs including a Chihuahua sized dog and a Great Pyrenees (120 lbs). I have dog sat 4 dogs for roughly 3 days before. Of the bunch, some just wanted to chill and one wanted to play fetch as much as possible. I have also taken care of pet medical care. Specifically, giving a dog twice daily pills and administering inhaler medicine for a cat. I am reliable, will communicate often, and love sending photos of how cute your pet is being! I am open to pet-sitting, pet check ins, and dog walks. I am currently flexible with scheduling but will need sufficient notice. I'm currently working part-time and am available to give your pets loving care. Mondays and Wednesday I am gone for over 6 hours in the morning. Otherwise, my schedule is currently flexible and I do have the ability to check in regularly or stay over. I will talk with you in detail to get to know your pets habits and routine. I will follow all instructions and review them regularly. My goals are to keep their routine as much the same as possible and give them extra attention.

I enjoy sitting there and spending time with animals, be able to observe them and always smile with them. I like to make the animals feel that they can close and comfortable with me, as thats a main goal of mine. I see most animals as a fun and joyful thing, they are always able to play and thats what I like to do is play alongside then.

Besides being able to feed them I will enjoy more to play with them and run around. I am able to even care for them such as bathing and etc.

“Lyndsay is so fantastic! She was able to stop in to check on my pets. My dog takes some time to warm up to people, and Lyndsay gave him the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her. She made sure he ate, got to go outside, and sent pictures and updates and followed his routine perfectly! My very shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello too - highly recommend and would absolutely have Lyndsay watch my pets again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up with three dogs, including larger breeds like German Shepherds and Pit Bulls, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs. I also cared for stray cats growing up because I always wanted cats of my own. Now I have two cats that I absolutely adore and treat like family. Friends and family have trusted me to help feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. I love getting outdoors, going on walks, and staying active, so dog walks and playtime are a win-win for me. Whether your pet needs cuddles, exercise, attention, or just someone dependable around, I’m happy to help and make them feel cared for while you’re away. Your furry family member’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll always treat them with patience, love, and care. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger breeds. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and pet behavior to make sure they feel secure and happy. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for at all times.

“We have been hiring Ashley for a few drop in visits before she house sits for us and we are very happy with our choice of sitter! Our pup is very shy and very attached to us and it’s good to know he will be well taken care of by a very patient and understanding sitter. She’s very punctual; when she says she’ll be somewhere at a certain time, you know she will be there on time and that any specific instructions you give her will be followed perfectly. She’s also been very flexible with making last minute drop ins to get to know our pup a little before our trip. She also is a great communicator which puts our mind at ease when it comes to leaving our pup. Very happy with the services Ashley has been providing!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience growing up on a ranch, where I've cared for a wide variety of pets. This background has equipped me with valuable skills in handling different animals and understanding their individual needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for senior pets, or tending to unique species, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion to ensure the highest level of care for every furry friend. My hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal behavior allow me to tailor my services to meet the specific requirements of each pet, setting me apart as a reliable and dedicated caregiver. I’m a college student living on campus hundreds of miles away from home and my own fur babies. Outside of school I have lots of free time and would love to spend it doing something I love and enjoy. For in-house pet care services, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of the pets in their familiar environment. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering any necessary medications, engaging in playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe environment. I also offer companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness or anxiety while their owners are away. Additionally, I can perform basic grooming tasks such as brushing and nail trimming if needed. Throughout the pet care process, I maintain clear communication with the pet owners to provide updates and address any concerns promptly.

“Kind. Flexible. Problem solver.Dependable! Thank you for managing the girls while we were on holiday! You made our first experience with Rover amazing. You set the standard high for all other care givers.”
