Pet care experience
I’m a previous vet tech so I have experience caring for cats and dogs, as well as other small pets, including routine care but also surgery, emergencies, and most veterinary care you’d expect at a clinic! I grew up with dogs, helping to train and care for them. I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old, helping out neighborhood families with their pets. I am currently parenting three sweet dogs of my own. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for pets of all sizes and breeds! I can do walks, runs, play, parks, medication administration, nail trims, crates, non-crates, and just about anything you could need. My goal is to make pets as comfortable as possible while they're not with their humans, and to make their humans comfortable, too. There's not been a time in my 27 years that there wasn't a pet in my life and I look forward to helping pet parents out in the future! I work full time as an xray tech (and PRN as a vet tech) but offer visits before work, after work, overnight, and on weekends. I enjoy spending time with the pets I sit so they have my undivided attention while we’re together. When I am in a client’s home, it’s all about the animals! Research has shown that time spent with pets is incredibly important to their mental and physical health. Walking, playing, cuddling, and even chatting with pets is super important to me.
Reviews
Ashley continues to take such wonderful care of our cat, Ally! Highly recommend!
Ashley continues to offer great reliable service. We look forward to booking her to watch our cat in the future.
Repeat customer, I will continue to book Ashley whenever she is available for my trips. She makes the process so easy and effortless.
We have a sweet older pit bull with some medical problems...she's blind and has diabetes. I was super nervous to find someone to care for her while we were gone who was comfortable checking blood sugars and administering insulin. Ashley, with her vet tech experience, was our saving grace! Babette was perfectly well cared for while we were away and we came home to a spotless home! Will definitely be using her again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a lot of experience with escape artists and “door dashers” so I’m always aware of escape routes, open doors, health or safety hazards, etc. Your pet has 100% of my attention while I’m in your home or on a visit so you never need to worry about them escaping or suffering harm. My own dogs love to eat things they shouldn’t so I’m well versed in never letting your babies out of my sight.
Information Ashley C. would like to know about your pet
Just basic temperament and preferences. I don't have any breed preferences myself. Working at a shelter, I frequently encountered “difficult” animals, so don’t be afraid to let me know if your animal needs extra special care!
A typical day
I like parks and long walks, as well as playing with toys (fetch, tug of war). There’s not anything that I don’t like... so let me know what your pet likes to do!

Availability
I’m currently working full time in healthcare so I am available in the mornings and evenings. I spend time with my current clients before I head to work mid-morning and immediately after I’m off, and I do late night drop ins and overnight stays. I’m off on weekends and occasionally during the week so those days, my clients get 100% of my time.
