Pet care experience

Passionate & Experienced Dog Lover!

Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Ashley. I am a Charlottesville native and live in a quaint apartment in the Fry's Spring neighborhood. I am a social worker, working from home and have plenty of time to provide care and attention to your love bug! I love to play and my usual routine is 25+ min walk 2x daily and plenty of potty breaks and love in between. Believe me, as a former pet owner, I understand how stressful and difficult leaving a pet with a stranger can be. Not to worry! You will soon discover that I am caring, compassionate and I assure you I will take optimal care of your pet. I enjoy going to dog parks and walks in the woods. If your dog likes to swim- I would love to take them to the river or play fetch or frisbee in the dog park. If lounging is more their style, that's fine too! :) Bottom line, I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own; one of the family! I have ample experience with private pet sitting and working as a handler in a doggie day care during undergrad in Charlottesville. That being said, I am knowledgeable and available to work on training and tend to grooming needs, including nail clipping, brushing and bathing. Contact me with your questions and we can set up a meet and greet!

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet as I would my own. Same goes for your home if I am house sitting. Check out my reviews--they speak to the care and attention I provide pets and your home!

A typical day

Plenty of attention, including rubs and snuggles, play with toys, hide and seek with treats, daily walks in the woods, and potential trips to the river. I realize not having a yard could be a draw back, but I don't mind taking your pup out each time for a quick spin around the neighborhood on a leash- I can be strategic with avoiding other animals or people if they do not do well with either of those.
