Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ashland

“Keo is a happy camper making new friends. He appreciate the fun and excitement with Niki. Pictures and updates are well received. Thanks again!!”

“Christina was great and my dog had great day with her and her family! He can be a handful, just puppy energy and she was patient, engaging and caring. She saved the day during out vacation and helped us be able to enjoy some time on the lake knowing our dog was well cared for! She sent updates throughout the day and took him on walks on her property! He warmed up immediately and felt so comfortable! This is clearly a dog home, and he fit right in! If we're ever back in the area, we would 100% trust her again!”

“Colleen did a great job of keeping my cat company and she sent detailed updates and pics each visit! Very accommodating and willing to help :) Thank you Colleen!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and horses for the last 5+ years. Also have had pets since I was around 10 or 12. I’m working a few hours a week, so I’m pretty open as schedules go. I love meeting new animals, even if they don’t like me at first. We have an outdoor cat, but I can work with whatever the client needs. All I need is a list of things that need to be done and when.

“Niki is a stellar animal sitter. Our four cats were in great hands while we were away. We got timely photos and thorough updates with great pictures. Excellent communication and the meet and greet is, in my opinion, a fabulous way for all parties--2 and 4 legged--to get acquainted”

About: I’ve had cats since I was old enough to pay my own bills. I’ve watched neighbor’s cats and volunteered at cat rescues. I understand that they can get overstimulated and need time to approach you. I try to make sure they get that time and the attention they need.

“Angie was so great with Millie! Thank you so much. Will definitely book again.”

About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.

“Niki and Zach gave Hoagie a great day and we are so grateful! Hoagie was super nervous when we dropped him off and super happy when we picked him up!”

“Christina and her family welcomed Dax and Ginger for the day! After reading all of the 5 starts about Christina, everyone was spot on! She provides excellent care and has the perfect environment for our two active Goldens. They had so much fun today!”

About: I am a full time overnight sitter and walker. Additionally I am Fear Free Certified in Dog Daycare Handling. I have 13 years I spent at the first Daycare/Boarding facilities in MN to become Fear Free certified. I have 9 years in overnight care, to which my clients have become like family. I am constantly educating myself on how to provide the best care for our pets. Outside of work, I am my friends' go-to pet sitter. It's an ongoing joke that I am never alone. Many clients pets have become deeply a part of my friends lives as well. In 2025 I left the daycare, and have been putting all my time into working for myself as a dog walker. My focus is with off leash, fenced in hikes. I’ve also partnered with a local organization called Canine Inspired Change. They train you and your dog to do therapy dog work. They lend me their training space so that I can have my own mini daycare playtime. It has toys, puzzles, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to enjoy. I pick up and drop off, taking no more than 5 dogs. This way I can ensure safety, and attention to everyone. I also have a passion for pet nutrition. I pride myself on being an extremely accommodating person. Very go with the flow! I have experienced a lot wild situations in my line of work, and I feel I am prepared, and knowledgeable in handling all types of emergencies and situations. Even if they are related to not just your dog, but your home. I am also very excited to have completed a Therapy Dog course at Canine Inspired Change with one of my clients dogs! I am excited to be doing therapy dog work with her. After losing my dog of 17 years in 2025, I decided to quit my job and focus on dog care full time. I spend my days taking 1-5 dogs out on fun excursions! We will rent Sniff Spots, go on long leash adventure hikes, backyard play dates with friends, or enjoy indoor playtime at a local training facility that lends me their playroom space. Your dog will have 24/7 care with me, and enjoy all the perks that my mini daycare dogs do. If I stay at your house, I will stay there overnight to make sure I can accommodate all the dogs needs. I can handle any special needs, or medications required.

“Niki is great with my dog Cooper! She sends updates and pictures and is very flexible with last minute changes.”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life- grew up on a dairy farm in Northern VT. My family consists of three rescued dogs and a rescued 18 yr old cat- Betelgeuse. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs, am comfortable with medication management and am very reliable. I work Monday-Thursday from 730-5pm. I am available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday for pet care and can be available in the early morning and evenings during the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. If caring for a pet outside my home, I am fastidious with details, safety oriented, and believe that exercise and attention is necessary to help reduce anxiety when a pet’s main caregiver is absent. If you are looking to board your pet in my home, I have a fenced in yard and three fur babies to keep your baby company (my cat does not go outside or really interact with dogs) Can crate upon request. I prefer to care for fur babies in their own homes initially- I have a small baby at home so I am selective as to who comes to my home.

“Always dependable, trustworthy and caring. I feel reassured whenever she’s here to care for my crew.”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and raised two wonderful lab puppies. I’ve cared for friend’s and family’s animals and have a calm patient approach to animal care. I’ve even had hamsters and chickens. I’m currently establishing a homestead with my two cats and ten chickens and working part time. I’m looking forward to growing my animal flock further in the next few years. Safety is my first priority so I make sure that I understand your animal’s needs and tendencies before coming in or out. Once I’m sure we are safe then it’s time to have fun in whatever way your pet likes. Some want a comfy snuggle and some need to work off some energy. I’m there for them.
