Happiness is a four-legged friend!
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Ashley but I go by Ash. I have a certificate in dog (clicker) training. I am a mom to a German Shepherd (Cora), a Chihuahua (Peewee), and a Snowshoe cat (June). I’ve grown up around four-legged friends my entire life. I’ve learned to care and understand them. Family and friends go to me for care of every kind. I even walk my neighbors dog on a regular basis (Odin) and I watch a firefighters dog (Layla) while he’s working.
Reviews
Another review here! We highly recommend Ash and Emily; they are great sitters. They always make us feel at ease every time we are away from our pup. They’d send us daily updates and pictures of him so we know that our pup is in good hands. We will keep coming back! Thank you, Ash and Emily!
Ash was great with Artie! She was responsive and set updates on his stay as well as ensured he felt safe and welcomed into her home! Will definitely be coming back!
Ash was so very patient with our Reactive dog. Finding playmates that complimented Sadie's energy. She was fully confident in watching her. She sent us pictures daily. We were thousands of miles away and Ash made us have zero worries about Sadie being well taken care of. Highly recommend.
Super thankful for Ash taking care of my little Sumo! Love the constant updates and pictures sent to me. I know Sumo had a wonderful time :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard which is all locked and sealed so they can’t get out even if they are an escape artist. My yard is divided in half, one side for a quick 10-15 min potty break and the other half for a 30 min play time. Which has dog igloos, a doggy tent (for shade from the sun), and a few elevated dog beds ( in case they want to lay on something). I have a variety of toys (balls, stuffies, squeakers, ropes) for each of their preferences, inside and outside. I have multiple water bowls inside and outside which are within their reach if they get thirsty. I have a small and big dog, which both are friendly after a quick introduction. So your pup will have a for sure playmate to their comfort and convenience. If needed, a crate is available if requested by you. I do three 10-15 minute quick potty breaks and three 30 minute playtimes outside. We take the pups on 2 walks around my neighborhood for 30 minutes, depending on the weather. I do offer an exit bath, a bath before pickup if requested by you and permitted by your pup

Information Ash O. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know: * What your pup likes and dislikes? * Any allergies? * Is your pup spayed or neutered? * Is your pup crate trained or a free roamer? * Do they have accidents when excited or scared? * Do they get territorial? * Do they make noises while playing? * How many cups and times they eat per day? * If your pup is up to date with their shots and flea medicine? * Please have your pup up to date since I do watch other pups other than my own and want your pup, my pups, and other pups to be in a safe and fun environment. Also, I kindly ask that your pups bio be up to date in case I need to go back to it. My top priority is for your pup to have fun and feel at home!
A typical day
I enjoy playing fetch with the pups, both with a ball and a frisbee which does get their energy out. I do daily walks around my neighborhood which are always entertaining for them since it’s a new area and it distracts them. The dog park is one of my favorites, for them to interact with other four-legged friends.

Availability
I currently work as a Dog Trainer but I’m willing to work with your schedule. My partner (Emily) is a part time college student studying online so I can assure you someone will always be home with the pups. My grandma also lives with me so she’ll also be home. If I’m not working, I’m at home with the pups, doing meet and greets, walking my neighbors pup or your/my pups and or running a quick errand.
