I am currently in between school and a job, so I have lots of free time to spend with your pets! I go on walks every day, and I often think how much more enjoyable it would be to have a dog with me while I do so! My open schedule also makes it easy for me to do drop-in visits on short notice.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always treat your pets as if they are my own—with the utmost care and respect! I can easily follow directions and am not afraid to reach out if I have questions. I also would love to do a meet and greet beforehand to get to know you and your pets, as well as go over any behaviors or needs I should know about.

Information Ashley D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or peculiar behaviors I need to be aware of. I’d like to know their general comfort level around other dogs and humans.

A typical day

I love to take long walks with dogs and let them explore the area at their own pace! I particularly enjoy nearby trails if they are accessible. If they enjoy playing with toys, I will make sure to spend lots of time playing with them in the yard or inside to burn all that energy! For cats, I will take time to make sure they are fed, played with, and given lots of pets!

Looking for a walking partner!

Pet care experience

I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats! I regularly dog-sit for a relative when she is out of town, and care includes feeding, taking the dog on walks, and play time! I especially love taking long walks through nearby trails. This dog can sometimes be reactive, so I have some experience dealing with reactive dogs on walks. I’ve also owned cats for most of my life! I have experience with feeding, administering medicine, play time, and petting time! I read a cat’s body language well and know when to back off, and I think this allows me to bond with them easily! I also know how to safely handle/pick up cats, but I will never do so without owner’s permission.
