Highlights
Pet care experience
I'm your pet's new favorite hooman
Ears and Butt scratches are my specialty, so if your fur baby is someone who's a sucker for those, they're in for a treat. I've had three dogs in the last 20 years including my Golden Retriever, whom I have for past five years. I've also been pet sitting for friends and relatives for the majority of my life. Apart from dogs, I also have years of experience with birds, fishes, and small pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc.).
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had a wonderful experience with Ashfaque! He took excellent care of our dog during boarding and treated him with so much love and attention. He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked him up. Ashfaque was kind, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. We truly appreciate the care he provided and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We will absolutely book with him again!
We had a great experience with Ash dog! They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our dog's stay. It was clear our pup was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of attention and exercise. We came home to a relaxed, happy dog, which gave us real peace of mind. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
He was amazing with Rambo; he keeps me updated with photos and videos. Great service, I'll book again with Ashfaque.
Ash has looked after my dog, Luca, twice now, and I’ve had a great experience both times. As a dog parent, it’s not always easy leaving your pup with someone else, but Ash made me feel completely at ease. He clearly understands dog behavior and temperament and took the time to make sure Luca was comfortable and settled in. I really appreciated the regular photos and videos he sent while I was away—it was so reassuring to see Luca happy, getting lots of exercise, and enjoying himself. The biggest sign of great care is how your dog acts when they come home, and Luca came back relaxed, content, and like he’d had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Luca with Ash again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.

Schedule
I work from home Monday to Friday, and have plenty of time to share with your pets. Being a pet parent myself, I take pee/potty breaks seriously and make sure to play fetch and tug-o-war with my 5 y/o Golden Retriever. There's an unfenced park right in front of my apartment, so, there's plenty of outdoor time on leash. Your pup also gets long walks (if required) and regular visits to the nearby dog park (Cooper's Park).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a decent sized living room, and a balcony for your pup to access. My Golden Retriever is also there to keep it company. I have an extra-large crate if your pup needs to be crated. While going on a walk, I stay aware of the surroundings and keep switching between short and long leash, accordingly.
