Dog Walking Aims

“Ashley is wonderful! We’ve hired her to walk our two small pups midday M-F on a long term basis and we’re SO happy that we found her. She’s very communicative, kind, thoughtful and so very loving to our pups. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our little ones are getting love and attention, exercise, fresh air, treats, play time and tummy rubs while we’re away. We highly recommend her. Thank you Ashley!!”

About: I have been caring for animals for over 40 years and truly love being around them. Over the years I've owned and cared for dogs cats chickens goats and ducks so I'm very comfortable with different personalities needs and routines. I currently have a 17 lb rat terrier named Dutton who I've had since he was 12 weeks old. He is now almost 5 years old and absolutely the love of my life. Because of him I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and know they're being treated like family. My home is set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs I have a fully fenced backyard with a dog run, as well as a dog door so they can come and go in and out freely. I offer weekend overnight boarding and make sure every dog in my car gets attention affection and a calm loving environment. If you need longer boarding needs we can discuss that. Take care of something I generally enjoy and prioritize in my routine. During the weekdays Im home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule at home with morning and evening care. On weekends I'm home much more and able to give pets my full attention. This is when I offer overnight boarding so your dog will have plenty of supervision interaction and a relaxed home environment. Because I have a dog door and a fully fenced backyard with a dog run dogs in my care can safely go in and out as needed I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they're with me. I have a fully fenced backyard. With the dog run. A dog door so they can go in and out when they please. This gives the dog an opportunity to venture into the backyard as they like.

After that, I am available until January. I am free all winter and summer long! I do have a part time job that I work 6-8 hours a couple days a week. I do not know my schedule far in advance, but I can request days off to accommodate you and your pets! Building trust with you and your pets is huge. I’d love to schedule a meet up before taking on caring for your pet so they can get to know me and be comfortable. I am adaptable and care for your animals no matter the circumstances

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs who are absolutely convinced they’re furry royalty. I’m skilled in managing zoomies, snack negotiations, dramatic tantrums, and cuddles on demand. Whether your pup is a diva, a goofball, or a pro napper, I make sure their stay feels like a luxury vacation. Expect belly rubs, playtime, treats, and so much fun they might pretend they don’t want to go home. This is my full time job, I will be home full time for you and your pup! I do work at a dog training facility in my free time for hours for my CPDT (dog training) certification, but you and your dog come first! I have a 7 foot tall fully fenced yard for your pup to explore, there are kennels available for those who need, and a plethora of dog beds, couches, and toys to keep your fur babies entertained. I also rent out Sniff Spots for extended stay guests to provide a fun adventure day!

I get along with any dog I meet and I would love to help care for your baby regardless what stage in life they are at. I work at a dog hotel so I can make almost anything work. Just let me know the situation and we can work together :) I know how to do meds and have been doing them for years. I can handle elderly dogs/cats and younger. I can go on long walks or small walks depending on the dog.

About: I found out at had a love for animals at a young age. Before I ever had a dog my family had cats. We had mama cats and litters of kittens. One of the mom cats ran away and I had to bottle feed the kittens. I was dedicated and fell in love with those cats. I got my first dog when I was 16. I devoted myself to that dog. My whole life I’ve always enjoyed a good walk, a play and a cuddle with any willing four legged friend. Neighbors knew I had a love for animals. I got paid to feed and walk their dogs and to pet sit. I have experience with all types of breeds. Small, Medium, Large or XL I love them all. I put all of my dogs through training and have dealt with everything from severe allergies to hip dysplasia to getting old and turning blind. I have experience with it all. You can trust your pet will be in great hands with me. I’ll love your dog just as much as I love mine! Currently I am a stay at home mom of two boys, one being severely disabled. Throughout the week I do a lot of driving to and from. I have several free hours throughout my day. I get started around 5am and wind down around 10pm or so and I’m completely free on the weekends!! I have a large fenced in back yard. I have only one dog. He is a Pug/Boston Terrier mix. He weighs about 40lbs. His name is Pup Pup. He absolutely loves the company of other animals and will be sure to keep your pet entertained :)

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had pets growing up as well as currently, and have often watched dogs for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with different types of animals and have experience caring not only for dogs and cats, but also horses and chickens. I’m attentive, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I work remotely as a full-time artist and content creator, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day and evening. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and naturally build my routine around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, routines, walks, and any special care needs. I aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m calm, attentive, and respectful of both the home and the animal’s personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I lived and worked on my grandparents farm from a toddler to about 15/16 years old, taking care of horses, buffalo, cows, dogs and cats. My animals were my family. Although I have no more pets of my own, I am an auntie to 2 beautiful cats my best friend has. I work a lot, but I foresee myself having a farm again one day and raise my kids with the same life I had, full of fur babies. Until then, I will take care of your pets as they were my own. I am a server so my schedule is very flexible. I live downtown and am near lots of parks. I can change my schedule to accommodate usually, except at night. Evenings I am not available most nights from 4-10pm. When I used to stay with my grandparents and their dog Duke, he was trained to stand by the door when he had to go to the bathroom. We fed him twice a day, his water bowl was always always full, we spoiled him so he got cheese and hot dogs most days for treats. We went outside plenty because we lived on a ranch. We played fetch everyday as well. In a clients home, I tend to follow their eating instructions, keep the water bowl always full, only give the animal treats that are approved by the owner, exercise and of course give them the attention I’d give my own. As for others homes, I would listen to instructions, observe behaviors, treat the area with respect, tend to the animal and be present.
