Pet care experience
We have a highly adaptable environment to customize care for the needs and wants of your pet. This includes a large yard for zoomies and play but quiet spaces for peace. Our property is spacious, functional, safe, enriching, and nurturing. We currently have a small dog, an invincible invisible cat, hidden tortoise, bunnies (enclosed), and chickens (enclosed). Our pup, Racco, gets along with everything, is fully vaccinated, and neutered. Racco is a good role model; he and I help teach our visitors to be gentle to other living things. Dogs love meeting our extended animal family and learn that they get to be more closely involved the better they behave. I have a Master's degree in Psychology but currently serve as a stay-at-home mom and caretaker of animals and our property; I enjoy learning about and sponsoring healthy living and connection. This means your pet will get lot of exercise, affection, and will not be left alone unless they prefer solitude. I have successfully fostered the skills of toy-sharing and eating respectfully together in all cases so far. We usually host one booking at a time but we have accommodated up to 4 additional, like-minded dogs at once which is also a blast. Tell me how your pet thrives and I will provide that experience. With permission, it is my pleasure to brush teeth, trim nails, groom, etc, for no charge. For extended stays, I am happy to negotiate my rates.
Reviews
Ashley was excellent. My 3 doxies were well cared for. And she was always keeping us updated with how they were doing with pictures, videoed & text messages. Which put my mind @ ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.
Took excellent care of my Izzy snuggle bug. Sent lots of photos and kept me updated on how she was doing while I was away.
Ashley was an amazing home for our dog for the week. We got constant updates on our pup with photos. They have a fantastic yard and house for the best stay.
Ashley did an amazing job. I have a 9 month old that gets nervous around other dogs. She was very patient with her. She keeped me updated with photos and videos. We will use her services again. Thank you very much.

Safety, trust & environment
We have an acre with various fencing arrangements for optimal safety. Every animal is different so we give each one what they need, whether that is 3 hours of chasing balls a day or providing a secure and loving space for a timid pup. We have misters set up for the heat. I tend to communicate throughout each day. I want to know as much as I can about your pet so I can serve them best.
Home
Information Ashley C. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if history of aggression, food restrictions, allergies, sensitivities, and the general ways in which it is preferred for the dog to be treated. For example, quantity and times for feeding, what kinds of treats are allowed. Or if the dog is not allowed on the couch at home, I would like to honor that rule in my home as well. When something occurs to you that I should know, text/call me anytime to share.
A typical day
Every morning, I exercise outside with the dogs, then we work the homestead - greeting/feeding/watering the other animals and garden. I talk to the dogs and teach them where to play and where to be calm. Then breakfast by 9 am or otherwise specified. Racco gets to play with visitors on their terms. The dogs are ready for naps and cuddles. I provide chunks of time working specifically with commands midday. We go out and do it all again by 4pm, then dinner and wind-down. I am only comfortable when our guest(s) is comfortable. For teeth, we usually brush with diatomaceous earth and no-sugar-added peanut butter. We honor dietary needs/restrictions and I communicate consistently.

Availability
We spend a lot of time being active, in and outdoors, but we also love cuddles. We enjoy spoiling our guests (attention, toys, command practice, running together, warm shampooing, brushing hair/teeth, so please let me know if you have special instructions).
