Flexible Sub Teacher Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I love animals, and really enjoy discovering their distinct personalities and getting to know all their adorable individual quirks. I have a flexible schedule, substitute teaching, and I am excited to earn a little extra doing something that I love. I adore working with animals and children. Animals like me because I give them undivided attention, and I recognize that they are so similar to human children that it's endearing. I am affectionate, gentle, sweet, and playful. I use a gentle voice with animals because like kids they can be easily spooked by a harsh voice. Absolutely no spanking or hitting animals. I will leave discipline up to you like I would with your own children. And that's just it: I will treat your pet like your child because our animals are indeed our family.

Information Ashlee J. would like to know about your pet
I want to know of any sight, smell or sound that could trigger anxiety, frustration or aggression in the animal. What soothes your pet? What the dog's favorite toy? Where are the "no-no" boundaries (where does your pet KNOW it is not supposed to be). May they be on the furniture? Any health symptoms to watch for? Allergies? Reoccurring mischief I should watch for. Where does your pet go to be safe? Allowed methods for discipline BESIDES spanking (ex. kennel, time-out, no toys). I will never spank, hit or roughly handle an animal. Please note with this being said, I cannot handle physically aggressive pets because I refuse to apply aggressive force to an animal. If your pet displays aggressive tendencies, there are pet sitters specially trained to help you!
A typical day
If we go to the dog park, it will be the leash dog park. I will never walk someone else's dog and let it off its leash, risking loss. I have lots of cardio energy and will exhaust the dog with frisbee, ball and running so you can enjoy peace and quiet while the dog naps upon its return.
