“Ashley has been walking my dog 3 times a week and she is amazing! She is really reliable and has a fantastic rapport with Stella. I actually think that Stella (the dog) has become more self-assured and relaxed getting that extra reassurance and quality attention during the day. It's a huge relief to know that she has had a chance to go out and that she is in such competent hands. Ashley has a really great way with Stella and also cared for my cats a couple of months ago. I feel really lucky to have made contact with someone so talented with animals and so reliable!”
About: My experience includes feeding, grooming, and providing necessary medications. Additionally, I am proficient in recognizing and responding to animal health concerns. I have a proven ability to create a safe and stimulating environment for pets. Moreover, I am passionate about ensuring their comfort and well-being. Fitting pet care into my daily routine is normal and essential. Each morning starts with a walk for my dog, followed by fresh food and water for both my dog and my cat. Throughout the day, I make sure to provide treats and playtime! Evenings involve another walk or backyard fun, followed by a final feeding and a quiet cuddle session before bed, making sure my cat is inside warm in my home and my dog feels loved and attended to. Caring for a client's pet in their home requires thorough preparation, clear communication, and a genuine love for animals. Caring for pets in our homes involves meeting their basic needs and providing a loving environment. For example, with my dog, Luna, a typical day includes a morning walk for exercise and a potty break, high-quality kibble, caring for her physical appearance by bathing her, trimming her nails, and brushing her fur. I also provide safe surroundings and interactions.
