Safety, trust & environment

I like to bring a calm, loving, assertive disposition to dogs--bonding with them beginning with good exercise. After which, I allow them to stroll at their own pace and share with them the level of attention they desire. For cats, I respect their space as they wish and am available to play or give them attention. I always look forward to giving any animal cuddles as well as respecting their space.

Information Ashira L. would like to know about your pet

I'm interested to know about any behaviors that would be helpful for me to know and get a general sense of your pet's disposition. What they like, what they don't like...any preferences or info is helpful.

A typical day

I will gage your animal's level of desired energy output and then play with them and their toys, give them a lot of walking and movement, give them doggie/kitty massage--lots and lots of pats, rubs and attention :)

Ashira has always shown a special relationship with all creatures, especially the furry 4 legged kind. She has pet sat with our babies on multiple occasions and we always know that they are in the best of hands. This includes 3 dogs and a cat. It makes our time, away from home so much less stressful. There is NEVER a question of her dedication to their well being. She is always punctual and conscientious . . We give her 5 stars out of 5. THE BEST.

Ashira has been pet and housesitting for our family for more than a decade. We have always had pets, traditional and otherwise. We call her the animal whisperer because of how the animals respond to her. We can rely on her keeping to a sometimes complicated schedule. She is gentle and calm with them. She is a trusted person for our home and animals—we highly recommend her.

Ashira is one of those rare people you feel instantly at ease with--she's warm, attentive, and clearly truly loves animals. Our pets always comes back happy and well care for, and Ashira keeps a close eye on their needs and routines. She's also great at communicating, so we never feel left out wondering how everything's going or whether our pets are comfortable. What makes Ashira especially special is her thoughtful, safety-first approach and her calm, dependable presence. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your pet, I highly recommend Ashira!
