Hello! I'm Ashley! I'm an Ex Vet Tech, Physical Rehabilitation Dog Therapist and Ex Groomer who started my full service Pet business Platinum Plush Pet Service in 2008 before Rover was even around lol. I was a Vet Tech for 4 years not including my rotation and clinicals. During these 14 years in my business I have been able to work with all breeds of Dogs and I have also branched out my business working in contract alongside Veterinarians and Private clients Grooming, providing therapy, walking and boarding Dogs and Cats who need a personal touch and could not be serviced in Kennels and Clinics for their grooming and boarding needs. I also give medications and injections. I have served the DC, Maryland, Baltimore and VA area. I currently work with all ages and breeds of all backgrounds. I specialize in dogs that have separation Anxiety as well. Outside of Rover I actually own and operate my Pet business and I have consistent clientele since my business has been around for 14 years but I love being on Rover because I get to meet new people and their fur babies. Every day I get to do what I love. I give pets quality, one on one care and attention so that they don't miss their parents as much when they are away and are as comfortable as possible. Pets aren't just my job and business they are my passion! What I Offer: I must meet with you and your fur babie(s) prior to booking a stay or house sitting. Due to Covid MASKS ARE REQUIRED for all Meet and Greets and we meet outside. If you are trying to book me for a same day or last minute stay a meet and Greet is still required before I can board your dog. During the meet and greet I speak with you one on one about your Dog/Cats dietary habits/restrictions, Allergies and what their needs are if any. If they need medication or injections during their stay please let me know. I do not Pick up and drop off dogs due to other dogs that I sit for in my home. I have a 3 level home that includes a big basement with 2 extra rooms a main living space in the basement So there is plenty of room to house all pets and still keep them apart. I do not mix Dogs if they are not from the same home. I have 2 cats who are very much used to seeing all of my dog family but she stays far enough away not to interact. I am energetic, loving and playful, but also very organized and thorough. I do not believe in charging extra for playtimes and medicine dispensing. I am advanced in animal therapies and I have a keen eye for sensing posible health problems. I pay attention to dog behaviors and consistency in potty break. Thank You in Advance for Choosing Me! Pet care is my full time business and has been for years. This is not a side job for me this is what I do regularly. I also do not board more than 5 dogs in my home at one time because I love the dogs being able to roam freely while they each have their own spaces and not have to run into another dog. Safety, love and care is my first priority. Dogs are not allowed off leash while outside or on walk's. Dogs are watched at all times when on both patio's or in the backyard. I also do not allow dogs to mix or mingle with other dogs unless they are from the same family to reduce risks of diseases or infections. Pictures of dogs are taken when they come in, during their stay and before they leave.
