About: I am an animal lover with a bias towards dogs! I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes throughout my life (including Rottweilers, Basset Hounds, Pitt Bulls, Doberman Pinschers and St. Bernards), and I can truly say that pups make the world a better place! I would love to walk or care for your fur-baby. I understand the sacred bond that an owner has with their animals, so you can trust and believe that your dog will be treated with the utmost love, respect and professionalism. Rain or shine, I can be available to get your dog exercised and back to your home safe and sound. I would love to meet your pet and to make your life a little easier. See you soon!

About: I've been working with dogs personally over the past few years and have had no issues caring for various neighbors and friends' pets, from large and old to young and small. I am currently available after 3PM every day except Monday and Tuesdays, which is all day. I am working full-time, but still have time after work guaranteed. For new pets, no matter the approachability or physicality, I always make sure to be careful and learn as much as I can before anything else. Their comfort is always top priority, even over my own.

“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”

About: For me, caring for animals is a lifelong calling that started at age 10. My deep involvement with nature has shaped my consciousness to view animals as living beings who deserve the same respect and care that humans do. This philosophy drives my approach as a sitter, whether I am implementing structured house-training routines for young dogs and kittens or managing the specialized needs of senior animals. I truly believe humanity's history is deeply intertwined with learning from and adapting to the animal world. I bring that foundational respect into your home, ensuring your pets feel completely understood, safe, and loved according to their unique personalities and attentiveness they deserve as living, feeling members of your family. I work full time with Lyft so I will have plenty of time to entertain your pup, dog, kitten or cat. Lets us have fun I'm in their world. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your pet's environment safe, predictable, and clean. To build trust, I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, locking up, and household boundaries. I thoroughly scan spaces for hidden hazards like loose cords or choking risks before letting pets roam. During our time together, I mirror their established daily routines to minimize stress and keep them feeling secure. I also send regular photo updates and transparent messages so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

“Extremely satisfied with Ashley! I’ll be the first to admit i am overbearing when it comes to my animals, like many they are my WHOLE world. Living in a new town where i know no one i needed a sitter. Thanks to her many positive reviews i went with Ashley. She did a meet and greet with my pets and me before the sitting and was super sweet. She kept me updated on everything at home and my pets, sending me pictures and putting my mind at ease. She was respectful of my home and my pets seemed super content when i got home, which tells me they were comfortable with Ashley. She will be my go to whenever I’m out of town!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats both for over six years now and have two pets of my own. One dog and one cat. From going on walks to playing fetch, to just simply hanging out on the couch with your furry critters, I would love to do any and all of the above! I currently offer drop in visits and overnight stays, reach out with any questions! I am currently employed so I am currently unavailable from 12-4pm Wednesday and Friday. I prefer to do most of my work during the day but am open to night visits as well. I can not watch animals at my own home but am more than happy to come watch them at yours! I can do short visits all the way to overnights.

“Brandon took care of our dog for 2 nights. He sent us photos and updates. We came home with our dog very happy. Will definitely recommend. Thank you so much!”

Marleth P.

“Chloe was wonderful! Our dogs loved her and she took wonderful care of them. She was excellent at communicating both before and during her stay. 10/10 would use her again!”

You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since my teenage years, giving me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful puppies and high-energy pups to sweet senior dogs.

I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! 🤍🐾 Pet care is my priority, and I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. Since I provide care in your home, I do everything I can to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I've loved and cared for a multitude of different species, including a sheep! My routine is to come home, have some dinner, and then feed/play with my dog and cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's imperative to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs.

I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine. I work part-time on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10–5, so I’m available in the morning before work and evenings after work on those days.
