About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!
“Ashley is wonderful! She is reliable, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. My dog, Lulu, absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she sees her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Lulu is in such caring and trustworthy hands. I also love that Lulu always comes home happy, fully exercised, and worn out — which is exactly what she needs! I’m so grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Lulu. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a wonderful, caring, and reliable dog walker or pet carer!”

Very flexible to our dogs needs, sends detailed updates on how the visit/walk went, and is very responsive to communication. Highly recommend her to anyone and hope to continue her services for a long time. Thanks Michelle!”

She sat with them after every walk for extra minutes and shared great pics with me. I will always check her availability first in the future”
