Hello! My name is Ashlee and I'd love to take care of your pooch. God has blessed me with the natural ability to be a caregiver! It's what I do best! I am a Registered Nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU where I was recently nominated for The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, by a patient who I had cared for. She wrote, "I never felt like I was 'just another patient'. She treated me like family/royalty and on more than one occasion advocated for me." With that, I promise to treat your pup as if they were my own. I have owned three dogs; Fredo a Peek-a-Poo, Rocco a Maltese, and the latest being Nico a Teacup Yorkie. At the young age of 8 Nico was diagnosed with Cancer and with a heavy heart, he was put to rest this past March. It's been hard not having him around. He brought so much light and happiness into my world. "Whoever said that diamonds are a girls best friend...Never owned a dog." I lost my best friend, but it would be an honor to love and care for yours! I live in a pet friendly condo with lots of grassy areas outside. There are other dogs that use that area, big and small, and they are always leashed. I'm also located right next to Osborn Park in Old Town Scottsdale. I have a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo with hard wood floors throughout and tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. It is on the second floor. Nico was around 6 lbs and afraid of stairs. I always had to carry him and I will do the same for your pup if stairs are a problem for them as well. I work three 12.5 hour days a week which gives me four free days a week. Those days vary each week. If you know you are going away in advance I can request those days off or try to find a switch. I will be upfront and honest about my schedule. I know other nurses have dogs and work 12.5 days and I have done it myself. Leaving a dog alone for 12.5 hours is a long time and I understand. The upside to working those long hours is that I do get four days off a week. My typical off day consists of me waking up around 6:00am, going for a short hike or going to the gym. Only if it is ok with you, I wouldn't mind taking your dog on the trails if the weather permits. I may run errands/ go to the grocery store and then I am home usually meal prepping, reading books, or continuing my education for nursing. I have a second home in Pittsburgh, PA which I do travel back to frequently. I will keep my calendar and availability up to date but if you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to ask. At this time, I am, most likely, more available for the daycare and dog walking but if my schedule permits I would love to keep those pups overnight too! I am ok with same day booking. I would like to be as accommodating as possible. I am very excited to meet you. I'm looking forward to pampering your pup and showering them with love!
