Pet care experience
I have been around dogs, living with and caring for them for over 10 years. I currently have a toy Aussie, Pearly, who is a joy to be around. She loves fetch and gets along with all dogs and people. She can hold her own around big pups! She is two years old, unfixed and fully vaccinated. Pearly has her Canine Good Citizen and is in training to be a therapy dog. We live on 25 acres (with a fenced area) in the Applegate Valley and have river access. It is an active dog's dream! I recently discovered that pups can get out of my fenced area, so your dog must have good recall and not be a runner. I also charge a $25 cleaning fee for stays of 4 or more days. This can be added on to your booking or adjusted to the daily rate. If your pet gets sick in my home and/or I have to take your fur baby to the vet, I will request additional payment. I have experience with various-sized and aged breeds, including Aussies (my favorite!), St. Bernard's, Golden Doodles, Catahoulas, Labs, Pits, and Huskies to name a few. I have even helped with basic training on a litter of eight Pit-Bull/Mastiff puppies. I am comfortable around more than one dog and dogs of different breeds, ages and sizes. I have lived with and cared for multiple dogs. They tend to be my favorite roommates-they always do their dishes! I've learned how essential it is to read their behaviors so you know when they want to play, walk, go outside, are hungry or simply need rest. Each pet requires unique care and I have the skills to provide your pet with the best care they deserve. I always care for animals with lots of love and enjoy spending time outside with dogs to bond and expend some extra energy! I am comfortable administering medication or tending to any special needs your pet may have- just please let me know. Caring for a pet is an important job and I have the skills necessary to help keep your pet happy and healthy while you are away. Please inform me of any allergies or health issues in advance. If a vet visit is required, I will charge for mileage and time. I am flexible with bookings and understand that things happen in life. I also have wide availability. I am self-employed, so flexibility and availability are two of my strongest suits. I am more than happy to come during work hours or any off-hours! Feel free to message me for same-day services as I may be available, especially if you are located nearby. For overnight stays, I am willing to travel a further than my walk/drop-in 15-20 mile radius. I will be fair and competitive with rates on longer stays and for multiple pets. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about my services or want to know anymore information. I look forward to meeting you and your pet in the near future!

Ashley is the best dog owner I know. She is the only person I trust taking care of our old dogs when we are out of town. My husky has a special diet and I know Ashley prepares her meals with confidence. She has been great at making sure our dogs get their meds when needed and she is always happy to get outside for plenty of play time!
The only qualm I have with Ms. Ashley B. is that our fur babies just might love her more than they love us! Having Ashley around to care for our fur family while we were starting up a new business gave us immense peace of mind and joy to know that our little (not so little) loved ones were being cared with the same amount of affection and know how that we give them! When work would call us away, our boys were safe and secure at home, and she always left the house vastly more immaculate than the shape we left it in! As much as it pains me to have our favorite home and pet caregiver utilize her skills across the country, we love that someone else's fur family will be in the best of hands! Thank you Ashley for all you did for our little family!
Ashley is the kind of person who makes you feel as if you've known her for 20 years. She's an incredibly nice, responsible and caring young woman. Our 7-year-old lab/chow mix, Kole, is not overly social so it meant the world to us when they bonded so quickly. Nowadays Kole goes absolutely crazy when he sees Ashley and loves taking walks with her. She loves all dogs and is happy to accommodate all different types, from the rambunctious puppies to the couch potatoes like Kole. It didn't take our family long to start trusting Ashley's abilities, and I promise it won't take you long either!
Ashley has stayed at my home on many occasions and the dogs all agree: Ashley is the best hiking buddy ever! Ashley doesn't just "dog-sit", she goes above and beyond to develop a healthy and happy relationship with each of them. They are delighted to receive so much quality "outside" time with Ashley and enjoy being near her inside as well. Ashley is always my very first choice when I want someone to show them the same love and affection that I have for them. I am so pleased when Ashley is available to house-sit because I trust her to be an incredibly thoughtful and conscientious guest. Whether I am gone for a day or a week, vacations take on a whole new meaning when you can go away and not have to worry about your pets. Ashley is a wonderful caregiver for my dogs.
