Un-furr-getable care for your pets

Pet care experience

Pet sitting is something that I have enjoyed doing for the past 10 years. I am a responsible, professional and detail-oriented animal lover. As an animal lover, I have had pets of my own and currently volunteer at my local dog shelter. I've cared for dogs and cats with a variety of ranges and health concerns. I've even cared for a few turtles and lizards. I am happy to accommodate your animal's needs. In the past this has looked like continuing their medical care (pills, eye drops, injections) or reinforcing the behavior training you are working on while you are away. At this time, I am happy to provide dog boarding and drop-in visits for cats or other pets. I am also providing dog walking, but only on a short-term basis as my current job will soon require me to return to office a few days a week. I am also available for transporting your pet to and from grooming, vet, or other appointments. Just book a drop-in request and let me know your needs in a message.

When I go out of town I am so much more relaxed knowing that Ashley is taking care of my cats! I would highly recommend her!

Ashley was wonderful with Sadie. I could tell that she was very knowledgeable from our initial meeting and greet, and the quality of the questions that she asked, and Sadi immediately felt comfortable with her. Still, I was very nervous about going away since Sadie recently had TPLO surgery and is still recovering. Ashley provided excellent care and communication, and went above and beyond when some complications popped up, which provided tremendous peace of mind during my trip overseas. I would use her again for boarding in a heartbeat and strongly recommend her for any dog-related needs, including with special needs dogs. Thank you for keeping Sadie safe and happy!

Ashley did a great job (and had her hands full) with my 2 very senior cats while I was gone for over 3 weeks. She put me at ease about their well-being the entire time! We'll engage her again for sure if/when we leave town again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live near two trail areas, the North Branch trail and the LaBagh woods. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through these trails or around the quiet neighborhood of Sauganash. I don't have a fenced in backyard, so playtime is offered only in my home, unless you are comfortable with dog park visits.

Information Ashley D. would like to know about your pet

From your toy terrier to your pitbull, I'm willing to help care for any type of dog, I would like to know as much about your dog as possible: -known commands -typical length of walks -comfort level with dogs and people that we may pass on a walk -vet contact We can discuss more in person or by phone about whether or not I'm a good fit for you and your dog(s).

A typical day

For dog boarding in my home, walks will be around the quiet area of Sauganash. We will can take longer walks along North Branch trails or along the Valley Line trail. I will engage your dog with activities like fetch, tug of war and puzzle games.

I mostly work from home, so I can provide around the clock care and attention. I do step out for an hour to 3 hours for errands or other dog walks. While boarding the dog, I will usually do one morning walk and two evening walks. Most of all, I will offer your dog love, care, and positive reinforcement!
