About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.

Shelby went above and beyond for my kitten. She sent me many updates and answered every question I had! My kitten wasn't feeling too good at the time and Shelby made sure she was comfortable and kept a close eye on her!

Jenn was awesome. She was able to watch my dog on a short notice and she took my dog out to interact with other pets and animals. He had so much fun with her and I enjoyed the video updates she sent!

Ashley was great with our two 9 month old labs! They enjoyed their visit with her! She made sure they got outside to play. We will use her again!

About: I have a dog of my own now and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I stay active and go on daily walks (sometimes twice a day), so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and their different needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just giving them love and attention while you’re away. I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets based on each owner’s preferences and routines to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced with leash walks, playtime, and outings like the dog park if approved. Safety is always my priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fur baby of my own that is glad to keep yours company if needed as well!

Bry was great with my dog that is a little bit scared and standoffish with people.

I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!

Shelby was a wonderful sitter for our beagle-hound mix who has never been boarded. We needed an in-home stay when we were going to be away from our hotel room for an extended time. She kept us up to date with pictures and texts throughout the day. I highly recommend Shelby!

Jenn was so good to my puppy! Sadie came home exhausted from a fun day on the farm. She was also able to accommodate us on short notice which was amazing.

I could not speak more highly of Shelby! I was traveling for my job and need a dog walker during lunch for my pup. Shelby took care of Archie like he was her own! I got so many photos and Archie was always in a good mood in the evenings!
