“Ashley is wonderful to say the least. We go to her for our Siberian Husky, Dakota when we have to go out of town, and she is really good with him. She is really great about us taking Dakota early and picking up late. She will work with your schedule. Her kids love our dog and Dakota loves them back. She has very fair rates and she is located within 25 minutes from us. I trust her with our dog and will always be going to her when we can’t take Dakota with us out of town. Thanks, Ashley! You are so great with him!”
