Pet care experience
When I was around 5 years old my parents bought our first dog. A big, fluffy Australian shepherd. Since then I've had 10 dogs and 4 cats, varying from that same Aussie to small chihuahua mixes. I am now 27 years old, and worked at a dog hotel for 2 years, where I have daily experience and training with handling both aggressive and friendly dogs, dogs in group settings, special feelings, cleaning and more. I've even had training with small animals. I've also had training with disrupting dog fights and basic dog safety tactics. In addition, I've handled different and specialized feedings for dogs. I have recently enhanced my skill set to include injected medication, through multiple routes. If your dog requires injected medication please let me know ahead of time so we can work out the best system (:
Reviews
Ashley was fantastic with Heidi! Usually Heidi is pretty shy around people, but she she bonded with Ashley pretty quickly . She kept me up to date with daily pictures. I recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a sitter. I will definitely be asking her to watch my pup again!
Ashley was a dream come true! She kept us updated on how our babies were doing. Her and her boyfriend kept our pups active the entire time, and they loved it. When I picked them up, they were both exhausted from all the fun they had. I hope we can use Ashley for future sitting jobs. :) I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a dog sitter.
I love having Ashley look after our dog Marley, while we are out of town! She always takes great care of Marley and keeps her active by taking her hiking or trips to beach.
Ashley sat my cat for a week. She was super flexible with me regarding pick up and drop off times. My cat is usually really shy with new people, so I was nervous leaving him with a stranger… But she sent me updates throughout the week and when I came to pick him up he didn't want to go!! I can tell he really felt comfortable there. I'm definitely going to call Ashley next time I'm leaving town and I need a pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
Growing up with pets, I'm extremely mindful of whats around in the house. I always keep food up and away from a dog's reach ( yes even the big ones!). I never leave the balcony door open when I'm not around or if I know the pet is too curious, nervous or jumpy. When walking dogs I always make sure to loop with my hand and wrap around a few times for added security. I always scan the room for things that a dog could easily eat, choke on or rip up and put it away. Its second nature for me to check for these things as well as check for any other risk factors in the home.
Information Ashley B. would like to know about your pet
Before I watch a dog, I'd like to know any details about medical issues or any special care needs the dog will need. If it's a puppy, I'd like to know if you would like me to work with them on small training needs as well. Most of all, I need to know the dog's behavior so I can adapt myself to your dog. If you're looking to board with me for the day or overnight, I'd also need to know how your pet is with cats.
A typical day
with me, I like to find out what your dog's personality is like. Every dog is different, if they prefer to just get lots of love and attention, I'll give them just that. If they're more of a energetic dogs I'm down for running around, playing with toys and playing together. I like to tailor the experience to what your dog is most comfortable with.
