Safety, trust & environment

I can't do in-home as I have my own senior special needs pup. Home sits for me, look like having a dependable freind stay over. I like to be aware of routines, diets and medication needs, as they're helpful to keeping your buddy regulated while you're away. Tell me what they need and I'll be around to see it through. I prefer to meet pets before I provide care so they can begin to establish a baseline with me.

Information Ashanay D. would like to know about your pet

I just like to be as informed as I can be with every pet I meet. I appreciate knowing of any complications that may arise, so that I know how best to interact with my new friend. I like to know which ques they responds best to, and how best to motivate them in life. How do they like to spend their time? How do they like to be handled? Do they have allergies to anything? Major fears? Ect.

A typical day

Right now I use Portland's awesome Tirmet system. Although I love outings with my fur buddies, I can only accomodate hikes as long as the trail is within a mile or so/walking distance of your home. Alternatively we can go on long strolls/runs through the neighborhood, run around the yard and play however they wish! Also if you have any training you would like me to uphold while you are away, let me know and we can work that into our play!

The Cool Cousin to Your Fur Babies

Pet care experience

The story goes.. I'd been an attendant at a local Dog Daycare for roughly 4 years. We took "difficult" dogs in and gave them a safe, loving, monitored environment where they could be themselves. I like to take that approach to life, but with a layer of proaction that I could not implement while working for someone else. So I felt stifled, and wanted to do more for my quirky buddies. These days, I am looking to grow my own pet care services over the next 3.5 years. Join me while I grow to be a fixture in pet homes worldwide. I'm way more personable in person. Get to know me a bit before settling on me, so we can be sure we gel well together. Let's be partners in care for your fur buddies! Åsh They/Them

Absolutely amazing sitter. My cat was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for when I got home. She sent lots of updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind, and she even left cat TV on for him. The house was spotless I genuinely couldn’t even tell someone had been there. I’m a very anxious/needy cat mom and she made me feel reassured the entire time. I’m beyond grateful and would trust her again in a heartbeat.

Ash took great care of our 4 cats when we were away on a 2 week vacation. They are very responsive, catered to each of our cat’s unique quirks, and provided detailed updates with photos daily. I would highly recommend Ash as a pet sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
