Pet care experience

Animal loving grad student

I have been a lifelong pet owner and have over 15 years of professional experience working with animals. My journey began as a volunteer at an animal shelter and grew into roles as a pet groomer and veterinary technician. Currently, I am pursuing a double master’s degree with a focus on animal ethics, welfare, and conservation. In my free time, I dedicate myself to supporting local conservation initiatives and caring for animals of all kinds. With the flexibility of graduate school, I now have the opportunity to expand my pet sitting and dog walking services. I am currently providing cat sitting and dog walking for several clients in the West Ashley area and am excited to expand my services to West Ashley, John’s Island, Ravenel, Hollywood, and downtown Charleston. I love caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other small animals. In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I am trained to administer medications thanks to my veterinary technician background. I also offer baths and nail trims for both cats and dogs. While I am retired from full grooming, I provide “mini-makeover” services such as teeth cleaning, ear cleaning, and paw pad shave-outs. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to help care for your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I promise transparency, trust and commitment to taking care of any pet or animal under my supervision. As a double masters student with a focus on animal ethics, welfare and conservation, I promise the best care for your pets. Pets are family and should be treats as so. I am experienced with giving oral and intravenous medication for animals. I have previous experience as a vet technician and 15 plus years of animal husbandry skills.

Ashley sent great pics of our three cats and was very helpful in communicating. I loved seeing the cats being well fed and well taken care of while I was away. Thank you Ashley!

Ashley did a great job of taking care of our cats.She was very responsive and thorough in providing updates to us. Both of my cats warmed up to her even though they are usually shy around strangers. I would book Ashley again!

Schedule

I am currently a double masters student and a TA part time. I also have private cat sitting and dog walking clients. I have plenty of time to take on new clients as my main school schedule is twice a week in the evening. I do teach downtown three days a week for 3 hour blocks but have plenty of free time otherwise.
