About: I'm happy to be on rover! I enjoy caring for dogs, providing a loving environment, and supporting them in having a great stay. I particularly enjoy caring for medium to large dogs. I previously used Rover to find pet sitters for my Labrador, who was my dear companion until he passed in 2026. I've had great experiences with rover and would love to give back by being a sitter now. I know what it's like to leave your fur baby with someone else, and I'd be honored to care for your companion like I did mine. I work mostly online and go into the office some days each week for a few hours. So, I will be home and with your pup most the whole time. I only take one doggy at a time to give specialized care for your companion. I have a fenced yard and 1/4 acre of space. The dog is welcome on the couch, which I have a cover for. I can let your pup out consistently and take them on walks as needed.
“Marla is so calm and kind- her love of dogs shows in the great care she gave our two pups! This was the first time we left one of our dogs with a sitter and he seemed to do so well and clearly happy with the care. We hope to have Marla back to take care of our pups on our next trip away.”
About: I love all kinds of animals! My first cat followed me home in kindergarten, and I got my first dog at 11. I nursed her through cancer during college and she died in my arms in 2022. I currently have 6 pets (5 rescues) — 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 rabbits! I spend my free time training them, loving them, and proving enrichment. I have plenty of experience from the puppy age to senior care, and everything in between. I work full time Monday through Friday, but am free on the weekends to stay home with your pups! I have plenty of time for dog walking & play. I have a large fenced yard, and a cozy house for your pets to stay. There is plenty of room to play with or stay away from the other small animals in my home.
“Benny stayed for almost 3 weeks and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with his stay. Krissy has such a great set up for dogs, so much outdoor play. I received daily updates and Benny came home exhausted! Will use again and recommend to everyone I know with a dog!!”
“Rachel was one of the best Rover’s I’ve ever hired in 5 years of using the App!! She was very responsive and accommodating. She also sent pictures and updates everyday. I wished I lived in the area cause she was amazing!”
“Sara was knowledgeable, caring and a pleasure to work with to take care of my old dog for a few days. It gave us flexibility to go sightseeing without leaving dog in car. It was not an option. Thanks to Sara.”
“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“What can I say… Josh was amazing. Excellent communications and has a perfect home for dogs. 1st time leaving my GSD with someone. He reassured me that my pup would be well cared for. A+ rating. Thank you again for taking care of my girl while I was gone!”
About: I like to walk the dogs daily around the Atascadero Lake. I have a decent size fenced backyard with room to run and use my poop scooper daily. I am retired and looking for things to do during the week (mon-Fri) to fill my days. I have always loved the company of dogs and love to take them on daily walks. I have a dog bed in my bedroom, where your dog would sleep at night. The dogs water bowl is always kept clean and fresh. The dogs would always be welcome to hang out in the house with me, too.
“Wolfie enjoyed his stay at Kiara’ place. The entire family is really friendly and treated Wolfie as one of the family members. The house is clean and has big enough space for dogs. Def will recommend to others!”
“Lauren was great with my dog! I got daily updates on his walks and she was very responsive. I think my dog loved her backyard and he was able to play/get his energy out—after I picked him up he slept all day. I would book with Lauren again!”
“Gracie had a fantastic time with Robyn! She had her picture taken frequently with daily updates sent to me. She made friends with June, Poppy, and Sadie. Robyn was so gracious to make topping for Gracie's kibble, when mom didn't send her with enough. Best of all, Robyn volunteered to bathe Gracie before pick-up so she would smell nice for us!! We look forward to many more stays with Robyn!”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
“My wife and I love this lady. We have an immensely energetic puppy, Chava, who we need to train as a service dog. Madelyn has been a godsend, taking very good care of Chava and helping us with sound advice. Check out her other services; she doesn't just board.”
“Thanks so much Janice for first meeting and greeting us before the visit and sending lots of photos during! Sammie was so happy to be there he didn’t want to leave. Your backyard is beautiful and doggy friendly, including this Houdini!”
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker with a deep love for dogs and animals. I have one dog of my own, Otis (5 years old, terrier mix). I grew up with animals since I can remember and have always loved animals of all kinds. I am friendly, caring, gentle, observant, and strong/assertive when necessary to ensure animal safety. Otis and I have hosted animals of all different personalities successfully. We would love to have your lil doggo with us soon :) I am available most days, morning to evening. Weekends I am a bit more available, but usually have flexibility. I can make adjustments with a day notice typically. I have experience training my own animals and have seen big progress with behavioral challenges. I know how to work with different personalities and ensure safety. I keep dogs on leashes and allow for appropriate introductions. I also have a big backyard that is fenced in.
“Monty had the absolute best time! He didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up. Amanda was amazing about keeping in touch and sending lots of pictures which was reassuring and delightful because Monty’s time there was full of ranch-life adventures. Thank you Amanda for taking great care of our puppy dog! Monty will be back again :)”

“Morgan did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away. She was reliable, thorough, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Her communication was great—she kept us updated and reached out promptly if she had any questions. One thing that stood out right away was during our initial meet-up: our cats, who are usually pretty skittish around new people, immediately walked up to her and let her pet them. That was such a great sign and gave us instant peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties and a tidy home. We truly appreciate her care and professionalism. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Carrie did a great job with my cats. She was always on time, took good care of feeding them with their medication and played with them. Sent me lots of pictures and even brought in a package. She is honest and reliable. Thank You!”
About: I absolutely adore kitties! I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering oral or topical medications, and providing attentive companionship. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in routine, so I prioritize calm, consistent care to help them feel secure while their owners are away.
“Michelle was very communicative during her visits and sent lots of pictures. She did a great job and our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly! Will 100% use her again when needed!”
“Helona is AWESOME!!! We had a wonderful experience with her, and our dogs absolutely LOVED her! She is so friendly and detailed (took awesome notes to keep our pets straight), and really put us at ease when we were traveling and leaving our boys behind. I absolutely recommend Helona for any of your pet needs - she has been wonderful!!”
“Desiree was great with my cat and dog. She was very reliable, checking in with me while she was with them with pictures and thoughts. I also really appreciated her vet tech experience. Highly recommend her services.”

“Brittany went above and beyond with taking care of our cat Nugget. Nugget likes a lot of attention and I know she was getting that by the daily photos Brittany sent me.

One of my neighbors had 7 cats and some had special needs, I loved helping her! Deep cleaning litter boxes is super satisfying to me, give me a scoop, a bag and a hose and I’ll get it squeaky clean!
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including livestock. I’m responsible for overseeing the wellness and nutrition of every animal, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My experience also includes training and handling livestock, ensuring they are well-behaved and healthy.

I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight stays. I also ensure regular check-ups to stay on top of everything.

I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and familiar, especially when they're away from their owners. I offer a variety of services depending on the pet’s requirements, such as daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and regular check-ups to ensure their wellness. For overnight stays, I maintain the same routine as at home, keeping things consistent so the pet feels at ease.

She was in contact with us with updates, etc. we are very appreciative. Emily loves animals and is very dependable, intelligent and caring. We will definitely have her back.”
“Jake was awesome watching our cat! She likes to hide but he was always able to find her! We appreciated him checking up on her every day and giving her treats if she was willing. Very responsive and reliable :)”

“Marla was a wonderful sitter for my doggy. She has a great home with a big yard. She was very communicative all day and sent pictures to help me see how she was doing. My dog is used to only being in her own home, so it was nice to see she could do okay in other surroundings. Marla has a kind and gentle spirit and offers a loving environment for your pet!”
“Janice is so kind and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable leaving my Stella overnight. Janice kept me in the loop of how Stella was doing. She sent picture and video. Stella was well taken care of and I could tell she enjoyed herself socializing with the other dogs.”
“Truly excellent for our high energy dogs who love people and other dogs. They got lots of activity, lots of attention and most of all plenty of love while we were away. Highly recommend!!”

About: 4yrs of vet assistance experience, comfortable if pets need medication/special needs. Current pet owner of spoiled kitty, looking to help others if they need it. My spoiled boy is demanding of being brushed daily. I clip his nails myself. I can recognize when not to try bathing a cat. My current boy will be traumatized if I try. But I could tell his brother would tolerate it. I can have other pets for sleep overs for cats only. I would keep them separate from my current spoiled boy as he needs to be an only child right now.

When I come into your home I let the dog greet me, and if they’re acting afraid or cautious I let them show me around. I’m all about not stressing out your animals! We want them to be happy and not stressed when you’re away which is where I come in!
About: Hi my name is Robyn. I absolutely love animals! Especially dogs... but I do love all animals. I have been around animals all of my life. I have always had dogs, sometimes a cat until I had children (my son is very allergic), I owned a horse, fish and a gecko (her name was Brittney Spears :) my daughters named her!). I hope to own alpacas one day they are so cute! My kids tease me- they call me Aliza Thornbury- its was a cartoon they used to watch when they were younger... they are adults now. I would love to care for your canine family member(s). I will walk them, play with them, talk to them, nurture and love them like my own & like you do. I am the “doting auntie”…. Loving on your fur babies. They will miss you naturally and know that with all of the affection & attention they receive from me, if rom my experiences they are distracted and very happy during their time spent with me. Being in my loving home far surpasses what a boarding facility can provide. Apples to oranges. People tell me I am very good with animals. Its natural. Regarding House sitting: am also available to bring your mail in, do projects, organize and clean while you are away or at work whatever the case may be. I am open to discuss. Regarding how far I will travel to your house: If I am staying for the 4 days or more I am happy to travel greater distances. I have house/pet sit in LA county, Ventura County & Orange County in the past On a daily basis ideally somewhere closer to where I live and surrounding areas would be more realistic. Again, I am open to discuss each individual situation. Re: Rate- open to discuss as it depends on where - how far I am traveling to your house and length of time- we could discuss a weekly flat rate as well. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family! (your pets) :) xoxo Robyn PS. I would greatly appreciate it if all clients would bathe their furry babies before they drop them off to me or let me know that they are in need of a bath and I can provide this service on the first day with me. Thank you very much. 🐾😊 I am home full time. I am 100% available to give your pets tons of love , care & attention with lots of play time, cuddles & tummy rubs. *** HOUSE SITTING/PET SITTING IN YOUR HOME:. I am highly experienced with caring for homes. I am not the type to sit around. When your canine babies /pets are napping or relaxing. I typically like to clean , do laundry , change sheets If permitted. I like to care for your home while you are away so you feel at ease while traveling. I know from my own experiences with travelling, it's very nice to return home to a tidy , freshly cleaned home. My goal is for you to have as little as stress as possible upon your return. Per some of my clients requesting have cleaned out the food in their refrigerators and ordered all fresh food for them to return home to. Most people love this because it's one less errand to do after returning from a vacation or time away from the home. It's a nice convenience and it's my pleasure to do this for my clients. I am experienced in managing your home while you are away please feel free to create a list of "to do's" that may need to be taken care of. Bottom line is that I am here to make your life easier and as stress free as possible. We will discuss Details prior to my stay to ensure that all of your needs & wishes are met. It's about your happiness & satisfaction. 😊 I would never let your canine family member out of my site. When we go go on walks I always use their leash. I'm very protective and aware of our surroundings. I wash all the sheets& blankets daily to keep their relaxing /sleep areas fresh , clean & as sanitized as possible. I vacuum & Swiffer the floors to remove the pet hairs to keep the environment as clean & fresh as I can. Helps me too with allergies! Lol. My focus is on giving your pet the best care & with lots of love. So far all of my pet guests have bonded well with me & tend to stick by my side. I really miss them when they go home. They are all so special & precious. Thank you for considering me & choosing me to care for your furry family member(s). XOXO🥰🐾🐾 I am 100% focused on your canine furry family member. My primary focus is caring for my pet guests. I am healing after going thru aggressive chemotherapy 2021. The love I give and the love I recieve is incredibly therapeutic. 🐾 I thoroughly enjoy the time I spend with each pet guest. Brings much joy. When your pets are with me we tend to hang out on my sofa or on my bed. Typically it's a cozy & cuddly. Most often nestling up to me. I love it. I don't use crates unless the owner prefers. I follow and adhere to the owner/ pet parents instructions. Rates are always negotiable! Let’s connect. 🐾💕🐾 I am 100% available to care for your furry family member(s).

When we are inside your canine family member is treated like my child while staying with me… I allow hanging out on my bed so we can be cozy and cuddly. Of course if this is not allowed in your home I will follow your rules to stay consistent. I have cozy throw blankets , dog bed,( always washed , sanitized & fresh ) lots of toys, bully sticks, balls, rope toy , healthy treats, bowls for food & water. When we go outside to play, potty and walks I always have your pet on a leash for their safety & protection. There is an enclosed fenced locked area here that I am able to access to allow the dogs to run and play off leash. It’s not a dog park so there will not be other dogs there. It’s basically a private area and the all the dogs love it! It’s about 75 yards in length & approximately 20 feet wide . All grass. We also take walks to the pool where there’s a rock jacuzzi and lots of grass around the pool. Dogs are welcome to be there with me on their leash and they all seem to really enjoy it . Your dogs safety is my priority.
About: I live in Lake Nacimiento and have been around animals my whole life. My family has dogs, cats, chickens, goats, ponies, and puppies, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from helping care for puppies from the time they’re born to senior dogs up to 15 years old. I recently graduated college with a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry, but while I was away I pet and house sat for several families and built great relationships with both the pets and their parents. Many of my clients had my personal number and would reach out whenever they needed help. I’m happy to provide references if you’d like! House Sitting: I am currently accepting house-sitting clients. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I can still provide morning feedings, a midday potty break and walk during my lunch hour, and evening care. From Friday through Sunday, I am available full-time and can provide care throughout the day to best match your pet’s routine and needs. Drop-In Visits: I am currently accepting drop-in visit clients. During the week, I am available for visits before 7:30 AM, between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM during my lunch break, and anytime after 5:00 PM. On weekends, I am available anytime. Dog Walking: I am available for dog walks anytime Friday through Sunday. Monday through Thursday, I am available for walks between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM during my lunch break, as well as in the evenings anytime after 5. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I am CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.
About: I have over 9 years of hands on experience caring for my own three dogs, which has given me a deep understanding of pet care, including feeding, grooming, exercise, and general health maintenance. Over the years, I’ve managed everything from daily walks and training routines to vet visits and special diets. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also dog sat for friends, looking after dogs of various breeds and sizes. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to each dog's individual needs, making sure that they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to fully dedicate time and attention to pet care. This flexibility means I can easily accommodate your pet's specific routines, whether that includes early morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening feedings. I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I prioritize keeping your pets active, engaged, and comforted, and I’m available for both short visits and long stays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to giving each pet the time, energy, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their established routines to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you're away. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and any specific needs. Daily walks are done at the times your pets are used to, and I always try to make sure they get the right amount of exercise and playtime based on their energy levels and preferences. I also make sure to spend quality time with your pets whether that means playing fetch, or simply being present to keep them company. I understand how important consistency is with my own dogs, so I stick closely to your instructions, including any medication schedules, crate routines, or expectations. My goal is to make your pets feel as happy and secure as they do when you're home.
“Zane was an amazing walker and Lola was waiting for him everyday at noon! He was super safe and went above and beyond during his time with us. At some point he got lucked behind the door due to no fault of his own and he managed to bring Lila over to an alternative location for me to pick her up and was more than accommodating.”

About: I'm happy to be on rover! I enjoy caring for dogs, providing a loving environment, and supporting them in having a great stay. I particularly enjoy caring for medium to large dogs. I previously used Rover to find pet sitters for my Labrador, who was my dear companion until he passed in 2026. I've had great experiences with rover and would love to give back by being a sitter now. I know what it's like to leave your fur baby with someone else, and I'd be honored to care for your companion like I did mine. I work mostly online and go into the office some days each week for a few hours. So, I will be home and with your pup most the whole time. I only take one doggy at a time to give specialized care for your companion. I have a fenced yard and 1/4 acre of space. The dog is welcome on the couch, which I have a cover for. I can let your pup out consistently and take them on walks as needed.
“Benny stayed for almost 3 weeks and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable with his stay. Krissy has such a great set up for dogs, so much outdoor play. I received daily updates and Benny came home exhausted! Will use again and recommend to everyone I know with a dog!!”
“Sara was knowledgeable, caring and a pleasure to work with to take care of my old dog for a few days. It gave us flexibility to go sightseeing without leaving dog in car. It was not an option. Thanks to Sara.”
“Marissa and her husband are fantastic dog sitters! They took amazing care of our high-energy 60lb German Shepard Husky mix. They were super accommodating to his energy needs, new place anxiety, and were very communicative at all times. Would definitely recommend :)”
“What can I say… Josh was amazing. Excellent communications and has a perfect home for dogs. 1st time leaving my GSD with someone. He reassured me that my pup would be well cared for. A+ rating. Thank you again for taking care of my girl while I was gone!”
About: I like to walk the dogs daily around the Atascadero Lake. I have a decent size fenced backyard with room to run and use my poop scooper daily. I am retired and looking for things to do during the week (mon-Fri) to fill my days. I have always loved the company of dogs and love to take them on daily walks. I have a dog bed in my bedroom, where your dog would sleep at night. The dogs water bowl is always kept clean and fresh. The dogs would always be welcome to hang out in the house with me, too.
“Wolfie enjoyed his stay at Kiara’ place. The entire family is really friendly and treated Wolfie as one of the family members. The house is clean and has big enough space for dogs. Def will recommend to others!”
“Lauren was great with my dog! I got daily updates on his walks and she was very responsive. I think my dog loved her backyard and he was able to play/get his energy out—after I picked him up he slept all day. I would book with Lauren again!”
“Gracie had a fantastic time with Robyn! She had her picture taken frequently with daily updates sent to me. She made friends with June, Poppy, and Sadie. Robyn was so gracious to make topping for Gracie's kibble, when mom didn't send her with enough. Best of all, Robyn volunteered to bathe Gracie before pick-up so she would smell nice for us!! We look forward to many more stays with Robyn!”
About: I have real, everyday experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including my own three, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m used to everything from playful, high-energy dogs to more anxious or shy ones, and I adjust my care based on what each dog needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, potty schedules, and reinforcing basic training, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure every dog is safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my ability to manage multiple dogs while still giving each one individual attention and care. I already care for my own dogs daily, so adding pet care into my routine is a natural fit. I’m home often and able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Dogs staying with me won’t be left alone for long and will be part of a consistent, comfortable routine. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I can accommodate both weekday and weekend bookings. I make sure every dog gets plenty of attention and feels safe and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside to ensure their safety. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and monitor interactions to make sure all dogs get along and feel comfortable. I also have crates available if needed, whether for sleeping, downtime, or to match a dog’s normal routine. I stick closely to each dog’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods, and I always keep a close eye on behavior to make sure everyone stays safe and stress-free. What sets me apart is how attentive I am to each dog’s individual needs. Whether a dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I make sure they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.
“My wife and I love this lady. We have an immensely energetic puppy, Chava, who we need to train as a service dog. Madelyn has been a godsend, taking very good care of Chava and helping us with sound advice. Check out her other services; she doesn't just board.”
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker with a deep love for dogs and animals. I have one dog of my own, Otis (5 years old, terrier mix). I grew up with animals since I can remember and have always loved animals of all kinds. I am friendly, caring, gentle, observant, and strong/assertive when necessary to ensure animal safety. Otis and I have hosted animals of all different personalities successfully. We would love to have your lil doggo with us soon :) I am available most days, morning to evening. Weekends I am a bit more available, but usually have flexibility. I can make adjustments with a day notice typically. I have experience training my own animals and have seen big progress with behavioral challenges. I know how to work with different personalities and ensure safety. I keep dogs on leashes and allow for appropriate introductions. I also have a big backyard that is fenced in.
“Monty had the absolute best time! He didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up. Amanda was amazing about keeping in touch and sending lots of pictures which was reassuring and delightful because Monty’s time there was full of ranch-life adventures. Thank you Amanda for taking great care of our puppy dog! Monty will be back again :)”
About: I’ve had experience caring for large dogs my whole life and currently handle most of the day-to-day care for my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, and keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is how attentive and hands-on I am. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially confident with bigger dogs and can adapt to each dog’s routine, whether that means active playtime or a calmer, more relaxed environment. Until early June, I have school and work during the week, along with some busy weekends, but I’m still available for pet care with enough notice and can work around my schedule. Starting in the summer, I’ll have a much more open and flexible schedule and am looking to take on more pet sitting opportunities. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also make time for calmer moments, like relaxing and giving pets the affection and companionship they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been an avid animal lover my entire life, and have a special interest in dogs. I have a base level of knowledge on all breeds and creeds that goes beyond the typical level of interest for most folks. I have always been the person who brings home every stray I see, and I currently have a mini dachshund puppy named Lady May! I have experience working with senior dogs, puppies, medically complex dogs, and of course, just normal dogs! I also have experience in working with and caring for exotic pets including rabbits, chameleons, turtles, tortoises, and frogs. I am lucky enough to live and work on the same property, and I am able to bring my dog to work with me whenever I want! As a result, I am also able to offer the same to my clients! I live on a 500 acre property in Creston, so I have tons of space for all sorts of animals. I have a fenced yard and access to tons of acreage, so there’s an abundance of space for dogs to play and run each day!
“Legera was an amazing communicator before and during Maxine’s stay! She would send us updates and even pictures! She’s friendly and kind! We’d love for her to watch Maxine if we visit Asheville again!”
“Patty is THE BEST! Lynk has soooo much fun hanging out with her. Usually she’s super duper sad when I go out of town, but when she realizes she’s going to Patty’s ranch while I’m away, she gets stoked! It makes me so happy knowing Lynk is having a fun time.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Ashley is super communicative and very punctual. She sends plenty of updates that include photos and videos. She even goes up and beyond by asking about any strange behaviors which displays attention to detail and deep care for your dog. Her dog is very friendly and playful, completely tired out my energetic pup! Fantastic experience, would absolutely recommend Ashley.”
