Farmer and Future Dog Mom

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Ash, and I've lived on a farm for the past three months with around 8 dogs with different personalities — from shy to excitable, from skittish to laid-back, from small to large and everything in between. I have plans to adopt a pup, but want more experience actively caring for them! I watched a friend’s recently adopted dog and home while he was away for 3 weeks. She was struggling a bit with her owner being gone for so long, but I took her on frequent walks (and runs!) throughout the day, checked her regularly for signs of frostbite, bathed her, and just generally gave her all of the care and attention I could to make up for her missing person. I loved being around her, and we bonded a lot in the time we spent together. My temperament aligns best with low-medium energy dogs, and I have some experience caring for a dog with separation anxiety. I make an effort to be incredibly communicative (daily photos/updates), but am also completely willing to communicate at the frequency that works for you! I really love dogs and I can’t wait to become a dog mama, but until then, I’m eager to replicate the loving experiences I’ve had with pups and to create a ton more with your furry friends!!

Lionel clearly had a great time with Ash, and came home healthy, happy, and tired (which is always good!). She was a great communicator and thoughtful about his needs. I will definitely be asking her to dogsit again in the future!

Ash was awesome! We have two quirky dogs, and she took great care of them both. One dog is elderly and needs to be carried up stairs. The other is a very shy rescue that has trust issues. We were gone for 9 days and Ash stepped in with ease. She’s very responsible and loving with the dogs.

i've known ash since high school and we have been close friends ever since. she took care of my bull terrier ian during many weekends in high school when my parents and i would leave the city even though she lived in a completely different borough. we would come back to the happiest puppy ever and even once to a crochet dog sweater!! she is a very responsible and a wonderful gal who is always willing to help out around the house, is low maintenance, and has a great sense of humor :) ian and i miss her in the city but i know that the pups in MA are lucky to have her around
