About: Hi my name is Ashley and I have worked with animals since I was 15. I worked at VCA Woodford Animal Hospital and Keshlyn kennel also advanced animal care an emergency vet. I know what it takes to care for your babies. I have a 6ft privacy fenced in backyard with cameras so I can keep an eye your loved ones while they are having some outdoor time. I do have 2 dog pens outside that MY OWN dogs will stay in while your dogs are outside just for safety reasons. My dogs are good with other dogs but just to keep everyone safe until they get to know each other better I will keep them separated but they will be able to still sniff and see each other till they get comfortable. I am home majority of the day so your pet will be with me unless I go to the grocery store. They will stay inside the house and have access to the backyard when they want to do run around. I do have a 10 yr old daughter but she is extremely intuitive about animals and does know how to care and knows the signs when they are nervous or scared. She tries her best to make them feel as comfortable as possible. We do enjoy evening walks around the neighborhood and would be taking your loved ones on the walks with us so they can explore the new area. I have no issues with puppies or senior dogs or dogs on medications I am able to care for them all with my experience I have seen it all and nothing really surprises me anymore. I am fine with helping crate or house training puppies I know consistency is key in training them and I am up to the task. I am home majority of the time especially during the summer months I am home 24/7 unless out running errands. So you pet will always have someone home to cuddle and play with Fenced in back yard with a camera so I can keep an eye on them constantly. My dogs would be locked up in the dog pens that I feed them in everyday so they are used to going in them so it’s not an issue to keep them contained while yours is outside playing and romping around

I have cared for animals large and small since I was a child. I grew up in the horse barns and majored in Equine Science.
