Personalized care for your dog or cat - Van Vleet

“Matt was great. First time leaving Cash with someone new so we were a bit stressed. Cash got along with Matt’s dog and everything went very smoothly. Kind, convenient and courteous.”

About: I have a half acre fenced in yard, a 20x10 run pen, have fostered senior dogs and puppies for the shelter near us, I have worked with trainers before on how to get tips for our own dogs so I can be better equipped to care of others as well. I can also care for almost any animal at my house while you need a sitter. Small to tall! (Sorry I don’t have the set up for horses) Fish to big and small dogs, all the way to reptiles! I have experience with all of them. Daily, your animal will be watched 24/7. I strive to make sure every animal in my care is cared for like my own. So, your animal will never be left for more than a hour or two (the occasional doctors appointment). They will also be taken care of just like my own in they will get PLENTY of exercise! My dogs and dogs I watch are crated when we are not home. (Of course without collars on!) I spend at the very least 2 hours per day exercising with my dogs in the backyard. High energy dogs need outlets! I have experience from Yorkies to Shepherds to Belgians.

About: I have owned cats since I was little. One thing I can say is that cats are amazing and easy. All my cats ever wanted to do was cuddle and play which is the best and most relaxing time.

About: I have grown up around pets, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc...but my most favorite are DOGS 🐕 of course! (We can all agree...) I have an affinity and a knack for "winning them over" and LOVE to talk to them, understand their behavior, read their signals, and act accordingly. I am extremely intuitive and high-energy. The combination of these two makes me ideal for dog & cat sitting, because when they're with me, they're going to have fun and be understood! 🐾 I also babysit (children) quite often, so I completely understand that a pet is your CHILD. I have utmost patience and respect for these furry children. Parent certified and approved over here 🙌🏼 Also, it’s worth noting, I communicate and I send pics. There's no reason to be out of the loop. #pleasebecool If you have questions, 🗨 just ask. I LOVE spending TIME with dogs, taking them on quality walks and runs, 🏃🏼‍♀️ or even on special car trips to parent-approved areas! 🚗 ☀️ As long as they are in my care I will make sure they get a lot of love and exercise, and YOU will get lots of picture updates about the fun they're having. I look forward to caring for your beloved friend! Send me a message and we can set up a time to meet-n-greet and further discuss your needs. 🐾 Some of the following will be: Is your dog potty trained?  What commands do they respond to? 
 Any allergies?  Any behavioral issues? I’m currently working part-time, and dogsitting is one of my ‘gigs’ so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I work online from home mostly, but if I’m on the go, I am never gone longer than ~ 3 hours. ⏰ If allowed, I am more than happy to take your fur baby with me. I usually say “if mom or dad are going on vacation, you get a vacation too!” so they are free to tag along and adventure with me on errands, to the beach, or to a friend’s house if they are friendly and so-inclined. I love giving dogs the opportunity to socialize, but only if it’s allowed. 🐕 I prefer to house-sit in the dog’s familiar environment, because they are so much more relaxed in their own home versus if they are introduced to a new place with unfamiliar smells, etc. I have plenty of referrals and recommendations to attest to my trustworthiness. Basically, I'll treat your home like a stellar AirBnb hotel maid guest, sans cleaning fee 🧼

“Ashlyn has always been very good with instructions and communicative. She has done well with both my dog and cat. We have asked for her services at least 4-5 times now, and never an issue. Gives great rover cards as well.”
