Fun & Active Time for Your Pup!
Pet care experience
I love playing any game with any dogs. It’s what I find myself doing most of the time while visiting my dog-owner friends, and of course, while dog-sitting. I am very caring and calm toward puppers but never forget to have fun! I always keep the dog on a leash while walking on sidewalks and keep them out of trouble. Leave your dog’s activity to me. They will be in warm and trusting arms. I also have plenty of experience with other animals - cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, you name it. I am an animal lover, so if you have any other furry friends (or any other type of pet) who needs a buddy, I gotchu.
Reviews
Ashley was an awesome sitter for our toy poodle! She was super responsible, caring, and a genuine dog lover. She provided us with a peace of mind while we were away. No hesitation in recommending her for sitter services!

Safety, trust & environment
I was born and raised in the Greater Twin Cities area, so I know the area very well. Depending on your dog’s preferences, I can take them to the dog parks, go on hiking trails, or we can go on an adventure together in a quaint St. Paul neighborhood. I know just the right place for whatever your dog’s needs are! I am currently fostering a rabbit and guinea pigs, but they will stay in an isolated room away from your pet. I never wear shoes in the house and will also make sure to wash my hands between each interaction to minimize the spread of any microbial pests. This means that I will not be in your home full time if you wish me to house-sit, but I can definitely stay for most of the day if that is what you need. If your pet is coming into my home, I am currently living with my mother, father, and my teenage brother. However, interactions with them will be at a minimum. Your pup will have plenty of space in our closed-door, finished basement. He can hop on the couch and also have access to our backyard under supervision. We have a long and short walking trail in our neighborhood with lots of wildlife and beautiful views for your dog to enjoy.

Information Ashley C. would like to know about your pet
Safety first! Please let me know if your or your dog has any needs or preferences, and I will note them down to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. Additionally, if they have any triggers or things best avoided, please also inform me beforehand. Please also tell me if you have any goals for walks with me. Are there any obedience training or socializing you would like your dog to practice briefly while he's out? I am a goal-oriented person, so I love having a mission to complete but am also always delighted for a laid-back time. Most dogs I've worked with are very pampered at home, so definitely let me know your dog has any tendencies that I should watch out for (quirky behaviors and feeding/walking preferences-I've seen them all!). Should I cater to them or guide them to a healthier alternative? I'll note these things as well.
A typical day
I am honestly just any animal's buddy or moral support. Whatever adventure they wish to embark on, I just tag along and cheer them on. Love the outdoors? Let's find a fun trail to hike, run, or play on! Prefer couches and quiet cuddling? I'll pet your pet to their heart's content. When I am not in the house, I am working my other gig, so I would only leave for a maximum of 4 hours at a time, usually much shorter. On top of that, I like to study when I can. I study best in busy environments, so your pet will probably be next to me while I do so anyway. While walking your dog, I love to follow them on their little adventures while also keeping to the path familiar to me. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war and just giving fun commands. For more active dogs, I love going on long walks around lakes and making sure to bring plenty of toys and water for a play break in between before making a full circle around the lake.

Availability
I am available all day most days. On top of dog-walking, I do have another side hustle, so as long as my hours do not conflict, I’m ready at your pup's service!
