Pet care experience
Hello friends! I strive to ensure your furry family will receive the same love, care, and attention that I give my own! Growing up with multiple large dogs, multiple cats, and other small pets, I have always enjoyed the company of any four-legged friends. I will put all of my personal and professional knowledge and flexibility into the care of your loved one! Learning how to cater the to the care of dozens of pets (including rabbits, reptiles, tortoises, turtles, and ferrets!) over the last four years here on Rover have been an amazing experience and I look forward to learning and adapting to the quirks of your furry family. I have one dog (Fox Terrier/Jack Russel Terrier mix) and one calico cat of my own that are my fur-babies and whole world so I understand the stress of finding someone trustworthy enough to care for your loved ones. I rescued my two as a young pup and kitten thirteen years ago. I also rescued a blind senior dog until his time came, so I am patient and understanding of our friends with special needs.
Reviews
Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter and did a fantastic job taking care of our two kitties again! I always try to book Ashley when we go out of town because she does such a great job! THANK YOU Ashley!! We loved getting the pictures everyday!!
Ashley always does a great job. 10/10
Ashley took care of our two cats while we were out on vacation for two weeks. She was attentive to their needs and gave us thorough updates after each visit. Our cats were well taken care of and we are very satisfied with Ahsley's services. We would definitely hire her again to look after our cats while we are out of town.
Ashley is the best! Great communication and pictures, thank you!

Dog Walks I prefer to take your pup on their familiar walking routes so they feel safe and secure with an unfamiliar person walking them. If your pup is reactive, I am comfortable handling them, but knowing their triggers is extremely helpful in order to effectively maneuver any situation. Drop-In Visits Whatever is needed for your pet/home, I will do. Food, water, play, loves, chin rubs, short walk or more! Plants needing watered? Need the mail checked? I can do that! Something else? Absolutely! I do everythinh with the utmost care to ensure that you never knew I was even in your home. "Leave no trace!" Medications I have experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I can tackle pills and liquid medication for picky or resistant dogs and cats. If there is a method that works to get them to take the meds easily, please let me know, no matter how kooky it may seem! If the timing of medication is critical, I need to know this so that I can keep them on track and plan the rest of my day around that to ensure timeliness. On my own cat, I regularly administer ear drops, which she despises, and have adapted to securing her for both of our safety.
Information Ashley A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how I can keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible while you are away. Feeding and playtime schedules are important to keep your pet as happy as possible until your return. It is close to my heart for me to keep your pet happy and comfortable, so if there is a feeding or playtime ritual or even a favorite toy, I would like to keep the ritual for them (no matter how strange a request it might seem, I promise I've probably indulged stranger ones!). Please tell me everything about your furry family member so that I can provide the best care possible! I would like to know about his/her temperament, favorite activities/toys, dislikes, and any behavioral rules that should be followed. What are the food and treat allowances/tolerance? Does your cat need the litter box scooped twice per day or every three days?
A typical day
During my visits with your furry family, I will make sure food and water are refreshed and do any other things that may need attending to. My ultimate goal is to ensure your pet has as close to a normal schedule and experience as possible while you are away. Routine is the key to a happy pup or kitty! I love walks with Fido and playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just giving belly rubs and lots of love! Watching cats master their hunting instincts with a feather, string, or favorite toy brings me so much joy, unless they would rather just sit and get lots of pets (you know cats and their moods, obviously). If there are any special needs your pets may have, I will ensure they are followed to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. In a home that may need their kitties separated while unsupervised, I will ensure that all enclosures are secure before leaving them unattended.

Schedule I currently work weekdays 8a-5p and am 100% free on the weekends. Drop-in visits and walks will occur outside of these hours. I am flexible to late-night visits if it suits your pet's needs! Visits in the morning will be between 6:00 - 7:30 AM since I commute to the Eastside for my day job. Afternoon or evening visits can be arranged anytime between 5:30 and 10:00 PM. I am available anytime for communication. During my working hours, sometimes it may be delayed, but I do what I can to be prompt in my replies.
