Pet care experience
Hi, there! My name is Ash. I am a passionate dog lover, trainer, walker, and groomer. I have been working with and caring for dogs since childhood. *I am new to Rover* but I am so excited to hit the ground running (and walking!). I have cared for senior dogs, puppies, and a variety of breeds (especially large breeds, German Shepherds, Labs, etc.). I am a natural when it comes to reading into a dog's temperament and personality. Coming from a medical background with 4 years in Nursing school, I am very knowledgable and experienced in compassionate care, First Aid, wound care, hygiene, safety, and clean-up. I have a one-year-old border collie/lab pup named Cosmo, and he is just the best. I love love love training pups, especially, so if you are in need of training assistance, I'm your gal. I only train with *positive reinforcement* which means only with love, patience, respect, and treats! I am available to train at-home and during walks.
About Ash S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My #1 rule is safety first. This includes ASKING YOU - the pet owner - questions about your dog's health, personality, age, and diet restrictions. This way, while walking or dog-sitting I can take the necessary precautions to make sure everyone is safe, secure, & happy!
Home
Information Ash S. would like to know about your pet
- Does your pup have any medical conditions / complications? - Does your pup have any special routines? - What are your pup’s FAVORITE activities / toys / treats / words?? - Is your dog shy or confident? Any behavioral issues? - How well is your dog trained and would you like additional training? - Does your dog require medication? - Does your dog pull / tug / lunge at anything in particular on walks (squirrels, birds, people, other dogs, etc.?) - Does your dog have any dietary restrictions? What kinds of treats are they allowed and how frequently? - Do you require on-site photos and videos during the appointment?
A typical day
I love to physically and mentally stimulate dogs - this is what I'm here for! Taking them on walks around the neighborhood, finding new smells, learning new tricks, & having the most fun with love, cuddles, treats, and more! I currently live in southeast and I do not drive, therefore, I would prefer to visit & walk in the neighborhood / parks only in southeast.
