About: Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a pediatric mental health case manager with a passion for helping my community. One of my first passions in life is animals! For many years, I have been sitting, walking, and taking care of neighborhood dogs. Now I am opening my doors to provide a fun, safe, and healthy environment for your pet! This will include long walks, fun games, and healthy meals. I believe providing love, care, and attention for your pet is what’s most important. I hope to be in contact with you soon! I work from home 3 to 4 days a week, with 1 to 2 days a week in the office for only a few hours at a time. We have two fur babies at home, a golden doodle and a chocolate lab/pointer, to keep your fur babies company! We do not have a fenced in yard, however my husband and I live an active lifestyle and typically go for multiple walks a day. We also have leashes and leads for backyard play/lounging!
“Can't ask for anything more when it comes to dog boarding!!! We got frequent updates, saw our pup's happy and tired face and overall felt very relaxed about the whole stay in general. They treat her like a family member. Laado will be a frequent visitor here for sure?”
“Bradley took wonderful care of our dog and was a lifesaver. We were going out of town for a week, and had planned to board Sherri at a kennel, however after a horrible evaluation day at the kennel we decided that it just wouldn't work. She was miserable and scared the whole five hours she was there. So we started looking for other options. We found Bradley and after a meet and greet with Sherri, concluded that it could work. What a great experience it turned out to be. Sherri was very at ease with him and the other dog he was watching. Bradley sent a daily update and picture, and told us that Sherri was chill and just lounged around during the day. For reference, when we have previously left Sherri with a friend for a weekend, she's been anxious and refused to eat. We are planning to rebook with Bradley for our next vacation.”
“Our australian shepherd, Kygo, stayed with Tracy for 5 nights and I never once felt worried about him. Tracy sent us at least 2-3 photos of Kygo per day, and he looked very comfortable and content in every photo. Our boy is used to sleeping with us at night, and used to cuddling with us on the couch. Kygo slept in the bedroom with Tracy and their dog Radley every night. I received several photos of kygo getting comfortable on the couches, or cuddling up with Tracy. They had their morning walk and got to hang out with Tracy for the rest of the day! I am very pleased with our experience with Tracy and will definitely be using her again! She is always quick to respond and sends updates everyday before i even have to ask.”
“Great sitter! She’s attentive and provides great, safe , patience and caring environment for animals. My dog loved her! I appreciate that she also is very flexible with sitting arrangements.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog Dude received from William and his family and dogs. I was worried at first about my spoiled dog but he fit in fine. William goes above the norm in providing his boarders with fun while staying with him. With his background I felt confident that William could handle anything that might come up. I highly recommend William; in fact I’ve booked him again for the next time I have to leave town. Maryann”
“Ana and her Dad are so kind and friendly. Phoebe is also very friendly. She updated photos and I could tell our dog enjoyed stay with them. Good environment and wonderful people. 100% recommended!”
“We had great experience with Kadi. She is very loving and caring person. Our dog Milo enjoyed at her place and was very happy as he got friends there to play with ( Kadi’s 2 dogs) . She kept sending updates and pics. She followed all the instructions perfectly. We love her.”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“We were delighted to board our little Duncan with Anirudhh Sai T. We had made vacation plans at the last minute and they were so willing to help us out and take care of Duncan. Everyone at the house was so polite and pleasant. Anirudhh sent lots of photos and a few videos, too! I felt that Duncan was very well cared for and was happy in their home for the time he stayed there. We will gladly use their services again!”
“Kris took such great care of our little Bella. She was very accommodating, especially with helping to administer medication during Bella’s stay, taking her on many walks and making sure she slept comfortably. Our dog is used to lots of attention, and it was clear that she got it during the stay. Her home is warm and inviting, and we were able to get to know her and her family during a meet and greet, which helped us plan for the stay as well. We knew Bella was being well taken care of, and having a great time, as she sent many updates and pictures throughout the week. It felt like Kris treated her just like one of the family!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet. About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside. Sun bathing and fetch are his favorite. •I live in a large safe neighborhood. -No major roads and safe environment. Walks are a must! I will treat your pet like they’re my own.
“Raimi was great. She treated my pups amazing. My pups made a little mess and Raimi was really nice at communicating the plan to address the issue. I would recommend her everyday!!!”
“Iris and Tomas were very friendly and provided prompt communication. They took great care of my 14 week maltipoo puppy. Based on the pictures I received our puppy had a great time! Would definitely book again!”
“Michele took care of our Scarlett as if she were her own. She sent updates and photos. Scarlett takes anti-anxiety meds and has stomach issues. Michele gave Scarlett her meds twice a day and even cooked chicken and tilapia to entice Scarlett to eat. She walked Scarlett and brushed her. We already have Michele booked for our next trip!”
About: Being a dog walker allows me to combine my love for animals with physical activity and the outdoors. I'm excited about the opportunity to care for and spend time with furry companions while providing them with the exercise and attention they need. I would love the opportunity to help out with your dog. I unfortunately am not close enough to my job that allows me to let my dog out during the day. I am at work by 8am and hope by 4:45. It can be earlier if needed. I am a teacher and have the lovely teacher schedule. Overall, my approach to pet care is centered around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs to ensure they live happy and fulfilling lives as valued members of the family.
“Thank you Jungmin, my family had a truly comfortable trip with your support. You kept us updated with photos from time to time, so we were able to travel without any worries. And it seems like Seoul also enjoyed staying with your dog, Taco. Thank you again!”

Annette and Ethel always take great care of Mamba. He has stayed with them twice now and enjoyed his time with them. Leaving my dog with Annette is an easy choice because I know my Mamba will be loved and cared for like family. Thank you Annette and Ethel for taking care of and loving my Mamba like your own. We will be back.
Finn had such a good time with April and her pack! He loved having other dogs to play with! He came home one tired pup! April sent videos and pictures throughout Finn’s stay and let us know how he was doing each day! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
My furbaby, Lilly, loves Amber. If she is available. She is always our number 1 choice. She sends photos or videos daily and is easy to get a hold of if needed. Lilly also gets super excited when we get to Amber’s house which is a huge win in our book! Lilly often has anxiety so this is a huge peace of mind for us. I highly recommend Amber to anyone who has a furbaby they want to have a good time while they are gone.
Yvonne and Bert were great with our 13 year old dog. They made sure she got her meds daily. They stayed in contact with us with pictures and text messages. They have a doggy door that I really didn’t have high hopes for our dog to use, but she did with some coaxing. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Bert. They are definitely dog people and pretty laid back.
