Pet care experience
My name is Ashley, I am a zoology major at Humboldt State University. I have a passion for animals and science. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and have lots of experience working with animals. I worked in a grooming salon for almost 4 years, I was an adoptions counselor at the San Diego Humane Society for a bit as well, and now I work at Petco! I've volunteered at a local cat rescue and a local dog rescue, and also had an internship at Lions, Tigers & Bears, an exotic animal sanctuary in San Diego. With my work and internship, it's safe to say that my life revolves around animals! I love reading, hiking, skateboarding, traveling, listening to music, going to art galleries, and getting coffee. I would love to come meet you and your fur kids! Previous experience dog sitting family and friend's dogs, as well as working at the Humane Society, a pet salon and a volunteer at a various animal rescues. Why I love dog sitting I have always had at least one dog in my home. I currently have two pups of my own, a German shepherd mix and a terrier mix, that my family adopted from a local animal shelter. I also worked at a dog groomer, so I have experience with all different breeds of dogs (not to mention all different personalities). My experience administering medication I am completely comfortable administering medication as I've cared for special needs pets in the past.

Look no further for a sitter. With Ashley’s work my wife and I were anxiety free on our recent Thanksgiving trip. Ashley followed all instructions and provided daily pictures of her drop in visits. It was a great feeling to know that someone who truly cared for animals was taking care of mine. Do yourself the favor and book Ashley today.
Ashley is a dream come true for us. She agreed to come stay at our house and watch our 3 dogs. Before her stay she came over and visited with us twice just to acquaint herself with the routines. While gone on our trip she checked in with us regularly and always responded to our texts. We have one dog who never has liked strangers but by the end of her stay, Ashley has managed to pet her! We came home to happy dogs and a house cleaner than we had left it. We are planning another trip in December now that we know we have found Ashley.
Ashley took great care of my cat. She was easy to communicate with and be around. Her comfortability and experience with animals was obvious when she first arrived and bent down to allow my cat to approach her first. She has a genuine love for animals and I felt my cat was in good hands while I was away. I highly recommend Ashley’s services and will call upon her the next time I travel. I’m happy my brother referred me to rover.com and that I was able to find Ashley there, a great service!
Ashley A. was great! I adopted my little dog, Marley, from the Humboldt County Animal Shelter on a Tuesday. She had just been spayed the previous day. I did not want to leave her alone while I went to lunch or other business during the day. I needed someone to watch her during her two week healing period. Ashley watched my dog several times from August 10, 2018 through August 18, 2018. She was very quick to respond when I contacted her on Rover.com. Ashley was always on time. She is very responsible and considerate. She has a warm, loving, compassionate way with pets. I will request Ashley as a pet sitter again, and I would recommend her whole heartedly. My pooch loved her. This is a verified review. Arno, McKinleyville, California

Information Ashley A. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, I just love all dogs! A few things I would like to know before caring for a dog is just any unique behaviors they may have(i.e sleeping in a specific area, a favorite toy, etc), special diets, any allergies, and anything that may make them uncomfortable and afraid. I will always do my best to make sure the dog is completely comfortable and happy!
A typical day
I love bringing my doggy clients with me as much as I can, whether it be just to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or walking around exploring the area. For walks, I usually take them to local trails, the beach, or just around the neighborhood. I also enjoy taking the dogs to nice, big dog parks (with owner's permission of course).
