Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are my babies
*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING EXISTING CLIENTS ONLY* I’m a local dog groomer, part time. I am currently only working with existing clients due to my senior dog’s health. I have my own little hobby farm, where I have dogs, cats, birds, arctic foxes, horses, goats, pigs, and fish! My family takes care of them when I’m taking care of your babies. I’ve fostered multiple orphaned animals as young as 24 hours old. I’ve cared for wild animal orphans until they could get to a rehab. I’ve cared for snakes, lizards, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. I’ve bottle fed, given injections, and even have given IV fluids to my pets at vet direction. So, animal experience is putting it lightly! I house sit for friends and family frequently, and am looking to expand my services. My oldest pup is a super senior sheltie who needs a little extra love to stay comfortable. I also have a Pyrenees mix with severe storm anxiety that requires medication, so I’m familiar with what that entails. All of my dogs get a kibble diet paired with different supplements based on their individual needs, so I have no problem feeding more complicated diets as instructed. My foxes are primarily raw, and I’ve taken classes on pet nutrition. I’m currently training my red lab pup to be a cardiac alert service prospect, and have gone through maple creek training for obedience and socialization work. I’m constantly studying new techniques and ways to work with animals to keep them healthy and well rounded!

Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I’m comfortable walking or supervising your dog in a fenced yard, to potty. I can give medications and supplements as directed, to help keep your pet comfortable. If it’s a breed that requires brushing and maintaining while you’re gone? I’m comfortable doing it to prevent matting. Having so many different breeds dogs and cats of my own, under my belt, and having worked with so many others? I’m pretty comfortable with all pets. I’m working on receiving pet CPR classes, as well!
Ratings and reviews
Ash M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Ashley is an awesome doggie sitter. She communicated with us on a daily basis and sent pictures. Troops was very comfortable with her and she handled his meds & all my "fur Mom" instructions while we were away. We couldn't ask for a better person to stay with troops & to help us out!!
We have booked Ash multiple times and are always happy with her services!

Schedule
My schedule now requires dogs to be left alone for around 6-8 hours a day, as I have to be able to care for my struggling pup. I am able to still do overnights, and weekends! Simply cannot do 24/7 stays.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsAsh can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I like to know what the dog’s health and temperament are. If they need any special treatment: such as extra potty breaks, medications, stairs to climb up and down, extra brushing, etc. If the stay requires me to be with them 12+ hours during the day, I have to have enough notice to be taken off of my part time schedule should the days line up. But I can absolutely work with anything! If there are other animals that require care, such as birds or reptiles? There will be an extra $5 per small critter a day, added, but I don’t mind the scaly or fuzzy ones in the slightest!
