Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle Steps, Happy Pets
I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. When I was younger, my family had a Blue Tick Hound who taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and the importance of daily exercise. As I got older, I cared for a loving mutt with a completely different personality — more playful, curious, and full of energy. Those experiences helped me learn how to adapt to different temperaments and needs, whether it’s a dog who loves long walks or one who prefers a slower pace. I bring genuine care and attention to every animal I look after. I treat every pet like family — with kindness, structure, and understanding. Because I’ve had both high-energy and gentle dogs, I know how to balance activity with comfort, and I’m always focused on making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved.

Ratings and reviews
Reese had a blast with Asha! She kept me updated with plenty of details of his day. Will definitely book with her again.
Asha was so great with our Louie! He had just started allergy meds that week and she was great about administering them during his stay. We also had a travel delay that led us to needing additional care, and Asha was so accommodating! We can’t wait for Louie to spend time with her again!!
Very thorough
Asha took great care of my two pups. She shared lots of videos and photos and they were in great hands. Also appreciate that she left the house cleaner than she found it and watered my gardens too. Above and beyond!

Asha has taken care of my dogs and cat twice now and is amazing. She leaves great pictures and comments and I know my girls are happy and healthy and in good hands with her! Her communication is great; it’s so good to have your mind at ease when you’re traveling or away. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since my college classes end by 12:30 p.m. most days (and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays), I have plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending that time outdoors, and caring for pets is a great way to do something I love while keeping an active routine. On weekends, I’m typically free all day, which gives me extra flexibility for longer walks or extended care if needed.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and trust. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level before jumping into play or walks. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay in familiar, safe spaces and follow their usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. I’m attentive to small details — like securely closing doors, double-checking leashes and gates, and keeping water bowls fresh. If I’m walking or visiting, I keep an eye on surroundings at all times and avoid crowded or unsafe areas. I believe that pets pick up on calm energy, so I make sure to create a relaxed, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel at ease knowing everything is handled responsibly and with genuine care.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of fresh air and positive energy! I usually finish my college classes by 12:30 p.m. (1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays), which leaves my afternoons wide open for long walks, playtime, and pet care. I start with a check-in and quick cuddle or treat, followed by outdoor walks or backyard playtime. Throughout the day, I make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and get lots of attention so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I love taking dogs on nature walks or to nearby parks where they can sniff around and stretch their legs. If they’re more playful, we’ll play fetch, tug-of-war, or explore new walking routes together. For calmer pets, I enjoy gentle grooming, short training sessions, or just relaxing together. I grew up with a Blue Tick Hound and later a mutt, so I’m comfortable with both energetic and easygoing dogs — and I always match their vibe!

- Before caring for any pet, I like to know their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs or preferences they might have. For example, if they’re shy around new people, have food sensitivities, or take medication, that helps me give them the best care possible. I also like to know their walking habits (how they do on a leash), favorite toys, and how they interact with other animals. The more I know about a pet’s personality and needs, the better I can make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away!
