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.
Reviews
She did an amazing job with Millie!
Cannot recommend highly enough - Ashley is flexible with our weird schedules and takes exceptional care of Rose.
Ashley has been amazing with our puppy! He is quite challenging but she really came through for us! She is super sweet, and gives great feedback after each visit.
Ashley was awesome! She took really good care of our dog and two cats while we were out of town for our wedding. We will definitely use her again! She sent lots of pictures and communicated everything. Great job Ashley!

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!

Availability
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.
