“Kristen and Estevan were INCREDIBLE! They took such good care of Winnie and sent so many amazing pictures and updates. I felt so comfortable leaving her here and I feel so happy to have found someone to watch my girl whenever I’m traveling. That peace of mind was priceless 🤍”

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals and caring for them. I love all four legged fur friends and I treat them as my own always. I work seasonally at the local ski park so I am available always during spring and summer. Any weekdays, weekends, or holidays, just message and I’ll answer any questions you may have always. I have a fenced in property, I don’t have any pets at the current moment, but the neighbors have two dogs that are friendly and they are also fenced in.

About: I've been checking on neighbors cats since I was a kid, and later began cat sitting for family friends and coworkers as an adult. Love getting snuggles and playing, and I'm usually pretty good at winning over the shy ones!

“Patience was super amazing with our kitties and very responsive. They were taken care of so well and I appreciated all the pictures. She took wonderful care of our home and will definitely call on her again! Thank you!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Lacey was an incredible sitter! I used her for three drop in visits over Thanksgiving and it was such a seamless experience. She communicated updates actively and my kitty loved getting to play with her each morning while we were gone. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”

Amelia H.

“Kristina was wonderful! She kept us apprised of how everyone was doing daily which was great. But most importantly, the cats were happy with her. She was able to medicate those on meds the first day - which for a bunch of indoor/outdoor cats and someone they don’t really know is amazing. We also had to make some last minute changes in our plans (because ice) and she was completely fine with that. We also loved that she had experience with chickens and exotic birds as we may be adding those to our family. We very much hope to work with her again.”

“Athena s the ultimate cat care giver! She is conscientious about sharing updates regarding how our cats have been doing in our absence. She is very supportive and easy to work with and has a relaxing presence which was a superb match for our cats. We could not have asked for more and will not hesitate to request her services again!”

“Patience is kind, responsible, and exceptionally responsive. This was my 9 yo dog’s first time ever at a sitter. He was a bit nervous at first, but Patience put him at ease and he had a great time both days. An hour of chuck-it provided lots of exercise :) highly recommend this pet lover as your next pet sitter.”

“Lisa did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs over the 2019 SOU Graduation weekend. I was very comfortable leaving my dogs with her as she displays a good amount of dog knowledge and safety standards. While visiting Ashland, it was really great to have a place for my pets just 15 minutes out of downtown, and a pet professional who can be counted on to keep them safe and relaxed all day long. Lots of dog photos were sent to me during the stay with Lisa! Ken H (Chico, CA)”

“Harley and our experience with Tina U. was the Best Ever!!! Harley was immediately comfortable with Tina & the two other dogs that greeted us upon our arrival. We received several pictures of their adventures on a walk & swimming which were extra special activities for Harley during his stay. We enjoyed a wonderful day of golf with no worries?Thank you Tina & Rover for such a good experience!!! Carmen, Jason & Harley ?”

About: Loving pets and caring for them since childhood fosters a profound sense of responsibility and empathy in individuals. The nurturing relationships formed with animals contribute to emotional development, teaching valuable life skills such as compassion, patience, and commitment. These early experiences often shape one's perspective on human-animal interactions throughout adulthood. Relocating to a new town presents unique challenges, particularly for individuals who work from home. The absence of familiar social networks can lead to feelings of isolation. However, pet ownership can serve as a significant source of companionship, enhancing emotional well-being and providing opportunities for social interaction within the community. Moreover, the presence of pets in a home office environment can increase productivity and reduce stress levels. Engaging with animals during work breaks fosters mental clarity and rejuvenation. Thus, embracing both remote work and pet companionship can facilitate a smoother transition into a new locale while promoting overall life satisfaction. The ownership of a large land area provides ample space for personal activities and the well-being of pets. Specifically, two dogs can either share a sleeping arrangement with their owner or utilize a crate for rest. This flexibility enhances both companionship and security in the human-animal relationship. Sleeping alongside dogs emotional bonds and can contribute to reduced anxiety levels for both parties. Conversely, using a crate offers dogs a designated safe space, promoting independence and comfort when needed. Thus, the choice between these arrangements reflects individual preferences while ensuring the welfare of the animals involved.

About: I have worked with dogs at a dog shelter and have walked them, fed them, bathed them and much more. I always watch my families dogs when they are out of town and make sure they have everything they need. I am in college but it’s all online so my time is completely free. I am available almost every day!! I don’t have a job right now and this would be perfect for me. I do have one dog who is very friendly towards all animals. I have a fenced yard but my land is very big so they can roam around and have a blast with my dog and make friends. That is if you are considering having them stay at my home. If I’m caring for the animal in your home they will get lots of attention and the things they need.

“Athena was great to work with. She responded right away to our dog-walking request and even rearranged her schedule a little bit to make sure she got to meet our two dogs (they liked her immediately). She is great about communicating. She sent photos and updates after each walk, which made me feel reassured that they were in good hands. I would not hesitate to use Athena's services again!”

About: I have done pet sitting for over 5 years which include boarding, housesitting and dog walking. I have also cared for cats, chickens, exotic birds and baby goats (bottle fed). I have cared for elderly pets, seizure pets and have no problem with giving medications. ****If you are requesting housesitting, I do have a small easy-going chill dog that likes to come with me if you are ok with that. He gets along with all dogs and cats alike. I do request that we have a meet and greet prior so as to ensure you are comfortable with me in your home and with your pets. I work remotely during the day. So I would be with your pet(s) for the majority of the day. They would only be left alone a few hours on occasion for errands/appointments and such. So they would get plenty of potty breaks, love and attention while you are away. I will care for you pet(s) per your instructions. While at my house they will be allowed on furniture and my bed for extra cuddle time. They will be given plenty of walks and playtime!
