“This is our third time having Ashley watch our doggie. As in the past, she was great with updates and pictures. We feel very comfortable with her care towards him and with her being in our home. Will definitely be having her over to watch Trooper again!!”

About: With my love for and knowledge of animals, I am offering services that range from pet sitting, walking, bathing/nail trims, and lots of love and affection for pets. I have experience working at 3 different dog boarding facilities, i love to walk dogs and enjoy nature with them. I can bathe and trim nails of all breeds and sizes. I have a rescue dog myself and always enjoy building relationships with animals. I understand the body language of pets very well and would love additional opportunities to share my skills for the well being of beloved fur-babies! I am willing to help train and work with animals as well regarding a wide range of behavioral issues, but if you just need some one to exercise and love your pet, please consider me! I currently in between work and have full availability to run with and give love to your pup! I hope to be considered to build relationships with new fur babies and their humans! I have a fenced in yard with a senior rescue beagle of my own. His safety is my top priority making sure he cannot escape to be in danger and also being cautious of bringing new people into the home


3. Bailey A.

“This was our first time having Bailey watch Trooper, and it was his first time being at a doggie sitters home. Bailey was very calm and reassuring with us on our meet and greet. When dropping him off for his stay we went over his needs since he is older with meds, food and etc. She did awesome with him while he was there and he had a great time with meeting/socializing with other doggies all sizes and ages. Would love to have Troops stay with her again!!”

9. Gabby G.

“Gabby was great. She hung out with my three dogs and two cats for several hours. They had only met her one time prior, so I wasn’t sure how they were going to respond. They were all cuddling in no time. I had total peace of mind while Gabby was here. She’s trustworthy and she kept me up-to-date with photos! It took me a long time to pull the trigger with Rover, I wish I would’ve done it sooner. Thank you Gabby!”
