Highlights
Pet care experience
All furry friends are welcome
I have been taking care of pets for 5 years now and its always the best part of my days! It is an absolute honor and privilege to be chosen to take care of your furry family member while you are away. It is a responsibility I cherish and do not take lightly. I am able and willing to continue any obedience training you are currently working on. In addition I have become very skilled at reading a dogs body language and feel very confident in being able to respond to their needs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ashley was overall a pleasant and kind sitter; however, I did have a few concerns regarding my experience. Firstly, during a snowstorm, she drove my dogs approximately an hour out of town due to a personal emergency. While I completely understand that emergencies can arise, I would have appreciated being informed or asked for permission beforehand, as this involved a significant change in location and potential risk. Additionally, as this was my first time leaving my dogs in her care, I had requested more frequent updates for reassurance. Unfortunately, updates were inconsistent, and at times limited to only one message throughout the day, which left me feeling uneasy. I also prefer that my dogs are not around unfamiliar individuals. I later learned that there were other people present in the home during their stay, which had not been communicated to me in advance. There were also some communication challenges. When I asked specific questions—such as whether my dogs had gone to the bathroom—I often had to follow up multiple times to receive a response. Phone calls were not answered, and replies would sometimes come hours later or the following day. Lastly, I had provided detailed feeding instructions for my younger dog, as he is still growing and requires proper meals. It did not seem that these instructions were consistently followed, and at times he was given treats in place of a full meal, which was concerning. Overall, while Ashley was kind, this experience did not fully meet my expectations, and I would likely not choose to book with her again.


We will sure miss Ashley! She was so nice and accommodating with our dog. Best of luck on your big move.

We feel very comfortable with leaving Milo at Ashley’s and he seems very content when we drop him off.

Ashley took excellent care of our dog and was great to coordinate with.

What an absolutely wonderful person Ashley is, she sent me daily updates I know Sasha had fun She is a kind of caring, calm, loving lady and I would recommend her to anybody

Ashley is amazing! My dogs loved going to her daycare so much they would wait by the door when it was time to go, and her insights about their behavior have been incredibly helpful.


Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home so they will receive all kinds of love and attention. I'm up early as I like to get a head start on the day and get some exercise in. My day begins by walking any furry friends I have followed by a workout. Since I am home I like to go out every 4 to 5 hours with any dogs I might have. It's good for them and for me :)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am a very active person so if you have a high energy dog you can rest assured that they will get lots of exercise! If your dog is ok being off leash I like bringing them to different parks across the city. If not there are some great residential streets just north of me. If your dog has great recall and likes to play fetch there is a huge fenced in field I can take them too within a 10 min walk from here. Whatever is best for your dog I'll make it happen! I want them to feel comfortable and safe.
A typical day
Multiple walks are an absolute must! I love to play fetch, play tug of war, go to the dog park and all the fun stuff! I have a vehicle so I can also bring them to different locations if they are here for a longer stay.
