Pet care experience
I have nearly a decade of experience fostering dogs and through the years have honed my skills training dogs and caring for dogs with a wide variety of needs. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs that require special medical care and enjoy providing a safe space for all dogs. Beyond the experience that comes from creating a safe space for hundreds of dogs over the years I have the flexibility and humility to ensure that your dog is treated and cared for in a manner that meets YOUR needs because I believe that consistency is key and you know your dog best. ***For an extra $10/day I offer training services to help work towards your dogs goals. I use only positive reinforcement methods and have extensive experience with training dogs of all ages. If this is something you would like to discuss please mention it prior to finalizing booking.***
Reviews
Ashley was great at keeping me updated, sending photos and taking care of them! Hopefully she’ll be available for another trip we have coming up in November!
Ashley was amazing with our sweet mischievous boy Paxton and we took advantage of her training help and Paxton is already a better dog! So thankful she let him run with her puppy as well! He is a tired boy and we rest assured all weekend.
Ashley was wonderful! Oreo had a great weekend with her. He can be nervous but she calmed him which was very reassuring for us! We would highly recommend her. Thank you again! Tina and John Duffy
Personable, attentive and friendly. Knew what she was doing and took great care of my pup with wholesome updates along the way.
About Ashley A.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to play in and am meticulous about ensuring that anything within reach of animals is safe for them. I never allow animals to be in the yard without supervision because I strongly believe in mitigating risk where possible and ensuring that I have the ability to respond appropriately should an accident happen. I am experienced in introducing dogs safely and my own dog, Westley, is wonderful with play mates. Westley is submissive to most dogs and is able to set appropriate boundaries without fear of over-correction. I am also able to ensure a pleasant experience should you have a dog that is dog-reactive as I have a two level home and experience keeping dogs safe and comfortable in their own spaces.

Please reach out to me to have a discussion about any special needs. I am happy to administer meds and cater to health needs as well as work with you to create a safe and comfortable space for dogs with reactivity.
A typical day
I like to make sure that dogs get plenty of opportunities to have outside time to run around in the yard. I have numerous puzzle toys as well as more involved treats such as Kongs to ensure they have mental stimulation. I offer lots of play time with me as well to ensure they have different activities throughout the day. I am also a firm believer that dogs need time to decompress so I also allow for time during the days for dogs to relax on their own as necessary to ensure that they do not get overwhelmed by constant activity.

Availability
I work from home Monday, Thursday, Friday and am home on the weekends. I offer Thursday-Monday availability to ensure that your dog is never left unsupervised for stretches longer than an hour. **** Please note that I offer availability for boarding every day of the week due to a large amount of requests. If your boarding stay encompasses a Tuesday or Wednesday my pick up/drop off times are limited due to meetings and I work outside of the house for part of the day. ****
