Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to take your dog to a local dog park for exercise and play. I’m also happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them for a hike. I’m also experienced with caring for elderly dogs who need gentle care and peace.

Information Ash B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your dogs special needs and preferences. I’d love to know I f there’s a special place they like to go or if there are important parts of their routine that will make them feel more comfortable and care for!

A typical day

Your dog will receive my full attention and care to suit their needs. If they love to get outside I’m happy to play games in the yard, go for a sniff walk around the neighborhood, or take them out for a special adventure at a local park or dog park. I’m also happy to jog or hike with dogs who need to spend that extra energy.

Patient caregiver pets love

Pet care experience

I am the proud parent to a 70-lb Pyrador who I’ve raised from a puppy. I also currently provide care for an elderly Papillon who is blind and deaf on an ongoing basis. I’ve had a range of dogs, from a tiny and elderly Papillon to a pit bull mix. I’ve pet sat for friends and family for most of my life and am happy to give each pup the individual care they need to feel happy and content. I lived and worked on farms with American bulldogs and naughty golden retrievers—I love them all.

LOVE all the care Ash has with my cat, Gucci. I’m traveling for a month and Ash has been very communicative, helpful and supportive all the time. She answers me in a timely manner, send pictures and makes me feel safe with my choice of choosing her to take care of my cat. Best choice ever.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
