I just want to cuddle your fur-kids

Pet care experience

I'm a homemaker for a WFH husband, five cat-children, and a small herd of five female guinea pigs. My favorite part of making new fur-friends is earning their trust and building a relationship. Cats: Cats and I get along great! I'm a longtime cat companion and really enjoy their independent and quirky personalities. I'm very experienced with multiple cats in a single household, as we have had up to six in our home. I love trying to convince super shy kids to be my friend but I won't be offended if they need their space and, of course, I'm a big fan of cuddle bugs! Dogs: I love how expressive and carefree dogs are and have really enjoyed meeting new dog friends through Rover! I'm familiar with dog body language, basic training and handling techniques, and my favorite game is fetch. While I am not currently a dog parent, I have multiple regular clients that are dog only households and really enjoy my time with their pups! Because of a permanent lower back injury, I need to be selective with large or high energy clients. I am unable to accommodate walks over a mile and very strong dogs that constantly pull or yank while on leash. Backyard buds of all sizes and walking buddies 30lbs or less are ideal clients for me! Other Critters: I have experience with a variety of small animals. In the past, I have been a parent to a large rabbit (16lbs), small rabbit (6lbs), fish, a hamster, and chickens. I currently have a herd of five female guinea pigs that I adore spoiling with new toys, beds, and hideouts. Through Rover, I've cared for fish, frogs, chickens, and even a pot belly pig!

Ash is amazing with our old and high maintenance cat! She is conscientious and communicates well, and we always feel secure in knowing our cat is getting the best care while we are away.

Ash takes such good care of my old man! He’s afraid of strangers and tends to hide when people are over but he lets Ash pick him up and cuddle him and wants to play. It makes me so happy to know he’s taken so well care of! I feel very comfortable and confident leaving him in Ash’s care

Safety, trust & environment

I want to care for your kids in the same way you would. Do they have a favorite activity, toy, or treat? Let me know whatever it is so that we can keep them happy and distracted while you're gone.

Information Ash M. would like to know about your pet

I know pets can get anxious when their family is gone and I want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible. Which bed is their favorite? Is there a favorite toy or activity they like to do? I'm happy to cater to your kids, just tell me what they like best!

A typical day

After we do breakfast, the most important part of the morning, we can get a quick walk in, check out some smells, and burn some energy before we head home. I love giving physical affection and pampering your pet - if they'll let me give them a full body rub down while we watch TV on the floor together I'm all about it. Maybe your kid is into toys more than body rubs? Let check out all the things and play with all the toys.

Availability

My first availabile appointment of the day is at 7am and my last appointment is at 8pm. If you are a returning client but my calendar shows that I'm unavailable, please reach out so that I can attempt to accommodate your needs. My husband is currently undergoing infusion chemotherapy so I occasionally need to block out treatment days/weeks to allow for flexibility but am still able to accommodate some visits. Additionally, if you are in a building with shared hallways or our initial meeting is in an indoor public place, I will be masking for his safety but do not expect my clients to be masked.
