“Amazing dog sitter and incredibly flexible! She does a wonderful job providing updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog always feels comfortable and happy when visiting her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She even sent my dog home with a special gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.”
“I am so glad I found Brooke! She went above and beyond with my kitties. This was a last minute booking and the first time they'd been away from us for anything other than a vet's visit. Brooke kept me updated and cared for them as if they were her own. Definitely plan on booking with her again next time we need a cat sitter!”
“We had a great boarding experience with Rachel and Keith. They took the time to understand our dog’s needs and personality and took such great care of him when we were away. We got daily updates and many adorable pictures of him thoroughly enjoying himself with them. We will definitely be reaching out to them for our dog’s future boarding needs.”

“Our experience with Natalie was truly spectacular. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter, and naturally, leaving your pets in someone else’s care can be a little concerning. However, Natalie put us at ease right away—she was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time and showed up promptly for every scheduled visit. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in her hands. We could not recommend her more highly!”

“Allison is amazing with my cats! she picks up on their quirks quickly and is incredibly attentive to their health. I always feel confident and safe leaving them in her care”
“Karleen was a wonderfully caring, attentive sitter for my cat Apollo. She included a detailed note at the end of each drop-in about Apollo’s mood, energy levels etc. that was reassuring, funny and overall such a joy to read each night. I could tell from the photos Karleen included in the Rover card that Apollo was happy and at ease around her. 100% would recommend and book again!”

“Our puppy had such a great time at daycare. He loved getting to play with the other dogs, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. Miranda and Paula are wonderful. They clearly care about the dogs and made sure our pup was happy and having fun. We really appreciated the great communication!”

Harper will definitely be staying with Tommie and Jeffrey in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a registered nurse and recent graduate of a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program. While I'm waiting for my APRN license to be finalized, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend that time caring for your pets. I've lived with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medication needs. As a registered nurse, I bring an extra level of attentiveness, reliability, and comfort with administering medications if needed. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a run, playtime at the park, or simply lots of cuddles and companionship, I'm happy to tailor my care to their personality and routine. I'm responsible, active, and genuinely love being around animals. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I truly miss having a dog around every day, and I'd be honored to spend time with yours. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently waiting for my APRN license to be finalized before starting my new position, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, spend quality time with your pet, and adjust to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to help! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and do my best to maintain your pet's normal schedule. I'll carefully follow any feeding, medication, exercise, or household instructions you provide and will always make sure your pet has fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different. Some love long walks and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and tailor my care to their individual needs. Communication is also important to me. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. As a registered nurse, I'm naturally detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs, including administering medications when needed.
“Jessica was great! She clearly loves animals and my pup bonded with her. It is always hard to leave a pup with someone new, but Jessica was very thoughtful in introducing my Bonni to her pets, and she held Bonni to give her comfort at drop off and kept me updated with pictures. I will not hesitate to drop Bonni off with her again.”
“Michael is Junie’s regular sitter MWF. He is fantastic. She’s always excited to head out in the mornings, and his dog Hercules is part of her pack now. Wonderful sitter.”
“Payton was absolutely amazing with Teddy! From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond—sending updates and photos, sticking to his routine, and treating him like her own. Teddy was happy, comfortable, and clearly so well loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% recommend Payton to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog 🐾💙”
“I’m a first time dog owner and I was beyond impressed with Chelsie with our 6 month old puppy. She would send pictures and kept us updated. She was even willing to come pick up our puppy instead of us having to meet her at her place once. We will continue to use Chelsie in the future.”
“Claudia is great with my 55lb German Shorthaired Pointer and my 5lb 10-week old Bugg. She keeps my puppy away from the other dogs she watches which is very important to me because she is so young. I love the pictures she sends throughout the day. Both of my pups leave happy. Claudia is very reliable and flexible. My pups have been visiting her 1-5 days per week for 4 months. I highly recommend her to watch your babies!”
“My dog had his first visit with Stephanie and it was great. Stephanie sends pictures without being prompted. She explained everything to me as a first timer and my dog really enjoyed being loved on by Stephanie. I will rebook.”

We’re already planning our next walk with both dogs next week!”

I have taken care of several senior dogs with arthritis or blindness and understand the importance of intentional care. I would love to help make your furry friends feel loved while you’re away.

I also have a friendly cat of my own and would be happy to host a cat in my home if they are comfortable and friendly around other cats. 🐾🤍
