Safety, trust & environment
Here’s what a stay with me looks like: · Fun & Exercise: We'll go on long, energizing walks to burn off that extra zoomies! Plus, our community has two private dog parks for safe off-leash play, fetch, and socialization (if that's something they enjoy). · Cleanliness & Comfort: After every walk, I'll wipe and clean your dog's paws so they come back into a clean home. While they'll be treated like family, for everyone's comfort and hygiene, dogs are not allowed on the furniture or beds. They will have their own dedicated sleeping space. · Basic Training Reinforcement: I happily reinforce basic commands like "sit" and "stay" throughout the day, incorporating a little brain work into their fun. · Structured Routine: I'll stick to your dog's normal feeding schedule to provide consistency and avoid stomach upset. What I Require from You: To make your dog's stay as smooth as possible, please provide: · Their regular Food & Treats (to prevent dietary issues) · Their Food/Water Bowls · Their Bed, Sleeping Pad, or Crate (whatever they are used to for a good night's sleep) · Toys are optional, but I have plenty to share!

Information Ash K. would like to know about your pet
Health & Diet: Any allergies or medical conditions I need to be aware of. · Temperament: Your dog's general behavior around other dogs and people (e.g., are they shy, playful, or do they have any triggers?). · Training Cues: The specific words and hand signals you use for commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." This helps me maintain consistency.
A typical day
For the High-Energy & Athletic Pups: · Active Adventures: For bigger or more athletic dogs, I love to take them for rollerblading or running sessions (only with your prior permission and if they are comfortable on a leash). This is a fantastic way to burn off serious energy! · Classic Fetch: We'll make great use of the two dog parks in my complex for intense games of fetch and sprinting. For All Dogs: · Long, Exploratory Walks: We'll explore the neighborhood with plenty of time to sniff all the interesting smells—a key part of a dog's mental well-being. · Brain Games: I incorporate basic training and "focus" commands into our play. This mental workout is just as tiring as physical exercise and helps reinforce their good manners. By combining physical exertion with mental challenges, I ensure your dog returns to you happily drained and content.

Reviews
Outstanding stay with Ash. Right from the beginning he was great with Ace and safely had him meet another dog he was boarding . Throughout the stay he kept me well informed with pictures and texts , and he constantly took him for walks and provided great care. Would recommend and will use again!
We needed a dogsitter at the last minute and luckily Ash was available. He was very flexible and able to handle several dogs at a time. We weren’t sure how our small dog would be with “friends”. Ash sent several pictures and updates over the weekend so we’d see what was happening. It worked out great. He’s a great sitter. She seemed happy when we picked her up!
Ash accommodated all of our requests and took excellent care of our dog. Since it was our first time leaving her with a sitter, he went above and beyond by providing frequent updates, which gave us great peace of mind. He has a strong understanding of dog behavior and body language, and by the end of the stay, our dog had become best friends with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with him again.
This was an unforgettable experience that I encountered but Tya experienced. Ash was very attentive, knowledgeable and overjoyed to care for Tya. That brought me comfort in knowing it was the right choice. I highly recommend Ash for sitting or boarding, it’s a choice you won’t regret!
