About: Hi! While I don’t have pets of my own right now, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for years. I absolutely love spending time with dogs — whether it’s playing, walking, or just giving them some extra attention while you’re away. Dogs naturally warm up to me, and I’ve been told I have a calming, playful energy that pets respond well to. I’m caring, dependable, and always focused on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved in your absence. I work evenings, so I’m available for early morning and midday walks, check-ins, or playtime! I’m flexible during the day and happy to customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling secure.
“Asha did a great job taking care of my cat Shiro! We had her do overnight in home care taking and she did an amazing job. Followed all instructions to the T, kept my place tidy and Shiro was well cared for. He takes his time getting used to new pet sitters however he did end up cuddling with Asha near the end of her visit. She also kept me regularly updated with pictures and a quick summary!”
