Animals make my heart full!
Pet care experience
I have had large and small dogs since I was a small child as well as many cats and other small animals such as fish, chinchillas, hamsters, bunnies, turtles and mice. I have also cared for and rehabilitated wildlife as well as raising monarch butterflies from the pupa stage, to help replenish their population. I take great pride in my love and dedication to animals and believe they are members of the family and not just a pet. I have been trusted by many friends and family members to care for and pet sit. I feed, walk, medicate, bathe, etc! I also took the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course. In this course I learned the basics of providing first aid care for your cat or dog, and how to best give care for common emergency situations. It also covered understanding your pet's vital signs, breathing and cardiac emergencies, pet CPR, wounds and bleeding, seizures, and preventative care for cats and dogs.(I attached my certificate of completion in the photos on my profile.)
Reviews
We went out of town for about a week and this was our first time using Rover. Ashleigh was great with our dogs. She sent us pictures daily and kept us updated on how they all were doing. It was apparent that she was very patient and they received all the snuggles while we were away. We would definitely use Ashleigh again!
Ashleigh did a wonderful job house sitting while we were away for the weekend! The animals seemed to love her, the house was clean when we got home and she communicated regularly with updates and cute pics of our furry friends. I would recommend Ashleigh to anyone!
Ashleigh was amazing!! I can't stress how worried I was to hire through rover since my last experience wasn't good. However after meeting Ashleigh for the first time she totally set my mind at ease. She kept me updated sent pictures, all the things that helped me relax while on vacation. She stayed in my home, treated my animals like her own just all around so happy I found her. If you are looking for somome that is fantastic and unbelievable caring of all animals don't hesitate to reach out to her. You will love her!! BONUS I came home to a clean house freshly vaccummed an all.. Amazing service. Thank you Ashleigh ?
Ashleigh watched our bunny while we were on vacation and my 12 year old was really worried about how the bunny would do with us away from home...Ashleigh sent us pictures and videos and took such great care of her which made my son feel so much better about being away from her. We certainly would recommend her and would reach out again when we go on our next vacation!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced(7 ft vinyl fence) back yard, a large front yard, and indoor and outdoor home security cameras. I only take pups potty in the fully fenced backyard and I stay out there with them til they’re done, just for extra precaution. I have 1 small senior dog and 4 super sweet kitties. I am able to have pets at my home, come to your home, feed, walk, give medication, etc. Also, all of my pets are up to date on ALL vaccinations, wellness exams and are on monthly flea and tick preventatives. In your home, I will abide by any rules or preferences you have, keep things neat and tidy and your fur babies happy, loved and cared for!
Home
Information Ashleigh S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are ok with being around other dogs/animals, because at times I may have more than 1 dog I am boarding/sitting. I would prefer that all fur babies that will be in my home have current flea treatments and vaccinations. I’d like to be aware of any aggressive traits I should watch for or triggers. What in general they like and don’t like, if they get treats, if they have any health issues, medications or allergies I need to watch for. What their potty, play, feeding and walking schedule is typically like.
A typical day
Depending on what the pet and owners prefer, I like to play with pets with their special toys, give treats if approved and take dogs on walks around the neighborhood weather permitting! I also like to give lots of love, hugs and cuddles! Especially at bed time, I love the cuddles if your fur babies are allowed on beds/furniture(I allow it in my home).
