Loving, Caring & Experienced

Pet care experience

Calling all Pet Owners! Look no further as this is the end to searching for a trustworthy and caring person to look after your pets while your working, needing a vacation or just to play with for the day because that person is me. From the age of 12, I helped care for 27 cats and 3 dogs with my mother. I helped bottle feed little kittens to nurturing health when either their mother was killed or couldn't produce enough milk. I helped bathe, take care of and love all of the animals equally. All animals were given a scheduled time for all feedings, if they needed medications, potty time and playtime. I helped potty train the dogs using puppy pads, positive encouragement including treats and repetitive trips outside for potty breaks. At the age of 16, I had my very own animal. A precious puppy of 6 weeks old. A Shih Tzu, chihuahua mix whom I treated like my very own child. I took her to her regular checkups and shots. I potty trained her using puppy pads, positive encouragement and treats along with regular repetitive trips outside to go potty. She was taken everywhere me including dog parks, paths, car rides, and camping. I loved her and cared for all her needs and gave her a loving, engaging environment until she passed away at 12 years old. I can do dog boarding, dog walking, playtime, and doggy daycare. Your sweet little animals will be cared for and loved equally while in my presence. Each animal will have a loving experience with lots of attention, affection, and playtime while mommy and daddy are away. What sets me aside is I take the time to get to know each and every animal to give them all a comfortable and happy experience while their owners away. I love animals so I currently have a bunny, a cat, a dog, 2 leopard geckos and 2 bearded dragons! I love them all and they are all sweet! I look forward to meeting your little sweet pet and gaining a positive experience for all.

I have known Ashlea for 15 years. During that time, I have known her to be not only an amazing lover to dogs but to all animals. She has a real passion and love for them. I had left my dog Sadie with her and she had done an amazing job with my dog including help with training. I would highly recommend Ashlea Shaffer to take care of your pet if you want to ensure your pet is properly taken care of without any worries what so ever. I will continue to use and trust her for the trust and loyalty along with pet safety and love.

Availability

Currently I do not have a full time job. I just have 2 school aged children so my schedule starts after 735 am once they are in school. After that, my schedule is available all day Monday through Friday from 735 am to 1120 am and from 12pm to 6 pm. Saturday and Sunday can be any time between 7-6pm unless you are boarding your pet then it’s all night! I have small animals myself so I always provide plenty of love, stimulation and care on a daily basis. I am extremely organized so with my scheduling with your pets once they are in my care, will be routine bathroom breaks, routine feeding times, routine play times, etc.
