Safety, trust & environment

I cannot host overnights at my home because my cats and baby would not appreciate the intrusion, but I am able to come to your house for day or night care, and overnights. Long stays will need to be assessed on a case by case basis. I have a car that is easy for dogs to get in and out of, so I'm happy to pick up and take for long walks in the neighborhood or for hikes. You know your pet the best so I follow your lead with what you feel comfortable for your pets care, so I am highly adaptable and easy going. I treat every animal like they are my own, so I really go out of my way to make sure we trust each other. I spend a lot of time taking care of their emotional well being, I haven't met a pet I haven't fallen in love with!

Home

Has 3 cats

Information Ash A. would like to know about your pet

let me know if your dog has any special quirks! what type of exercise they require and if they are leash trained, friendly with other dogs etc I do need to know if they are in heat or intact, just for mine and the dogs safety

A typical day

I love dogs and they tend to love me! It depends on what you are looking for, but I am able to customize care tailored to your and your pets needs. I love long walks and generally spending time with animals, I definitely talk to them a lot and can be a bit of a dork around them. I do prefer walking one at a time to give them the individual attention they deserve.

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs and cats (and small animals like rats and hamsters) for nearly 20 years. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs, and cats of all ages, so I guarantee I can take care of your baby. Not only do I love animals and treat them with kindness and respect, I have volunteered at cat shelters and the humane society, as well as a dog rescue organization for over a year. I have 2 years of Vet Tech training and completed an internship program visiting veterinary hospitals to learn the science of animal care. I am capable of administering medications to both dogs and cats and will treat your pet like they are my own (and I spoil the heck out of my cats!) I really love animals, and I'm more concerned about your pets well being than the time limit, so if I see a water bowl that needs washing or a mess that needs attending to I will make sure your baby is happy and healthy. You will find me to be responsible, communicative and friendly. I look forward to meeting you and your pets- I can't wait to pet your dog and hug your cat!

Ash took great care of my cats while out of town for a week. She listened to my concerns of being away from my furbabies and helped put those concerns to rest with great communication. She was also very receptive to my additional requests made throughout her drop-ins and was courteous to clean up after their kitty messes too. I’ll trust Ash any time I need a cat sitter!

This is the second time we had Ash sit for our two cats. They're wonderful and we'll continue to request them in the future.

Ash. Was amazing. She was so kind to our critters and had to manage through a house challenge. She was a rock star. Thank you Ash. You are the best. L
