Dog lover w/vet clinic experience
Pet care experience
**Please note: for now, I am trying to do minimal-contact sits. I normally invite dog parents into my home so you are more comfortable leaving your pup here, but for now, I ask that you meet me in the back yard when you drop your pup off. I am happy to send you photos of my space so you know it's safe & clean. I live in a ranch style (no stairs) house with a wood-fenced yard. I took animal science & care classes at LSU and worked in a vet clinic during school. I now work from home, so I can spend all day with your pup! I was raised on a farm with an average of five dogs in and around the house, and have loved them all. BIG dogs don't scare me at all–in fact, they're my favorite! I am happy to work with any size and any age dog. With my vet clinic experience, I'm very aware of the importance of giving pups the right doses of their meds at the right time. For boarding, I do ask that pups are crate-trained so that they are safe and comfortable while I'm away, and for your own peace of mind. I don't mind helping crate train puppies. If you're new to crate training, let me know! I'm happy to help. ! Everyone has "their breed" and I have several: Australian Shepherds, Golden Doodles, and Portuguese Water Dogs. But I try not to play favorites :)
Reviews
Ashton was wonderful! I am very attached to my pup (14 year old beagle mix) and felt completely comfortable that he was in great hands! Highly recommend and will be booking for future trips!
Thank you for taking such great care of Sasha on which short notice! We enjoyed the photos and felt like she was getting amazing care!
Ashton was awesome when I boarded my dogs with her this past weekend! It was last minute but she was extremely helpful and communicative and I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She sent picture updates daily and I know they had a great time at her house.
Would highly recommend and will use again! Ashton made me feel comfortable immediately by inviting us to come see where Chief would be staying while I was gone. She kept me updated throughout Chief's stay and I couldn't be happier!!

I prefer to work with dogs who are crate-trained, as it is safest in case of emergency, but I understand that many people prefer to give their dogs run-of-the-house while they're gone and at night. If you are working on training, I'm happy to help and provide advice as well.
A typical day
I live only two blocks from the lake and all its access trails, which is nice for morning walks before it gets too hot. For dogs who don't love to meet other dogs, we'll stay in the fenced yard at my home at all times.
