Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend!
I grew up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, and had dogs of my own throughout high school and college. As an adult, I travel throughout the year, which makes it difficult to have pets of my own. Instead, I focus on caring for my friends' fur babies. I absolutely love connecting with animals, and I tend to draw them to me naturally whenever I’m around them.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide personalized pet care in the comfort of your own home, where your pet can feel most at ease. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure to stick to their routine and provide lots of attention and love. As I’m currently in a rental home, I’m unable to care for pets in my own space, but I’m happy to offer reliable, flexible care in yours, ensuring a calm and familiar environment for your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Ashley did a great job watching our dog over the weekend. We have used her several times and always come home to a clean house and happy dog. She is reliable and sends updates. We already have her booked for our next vacation!
Ashley was AMAZING! She took such good care of Payton. Ashley sent pictures and gave updates. He was well loved!!
Our Tilly loved Ashley and had a great time playing with her while we were on vacation. We came home to a happy doggy and a well taken care of home. It was nice to be able to relax knowing that our dog was being cared for, we will use Ashley again!
Ashley is truly the best! If you want to feel calm and worry free while you away, then don't hesitate to call on Ashley to watch your pet. We have a pretty anxious pup and as an anxious dog mom, it can be hard to be fully present when away from her. With Ashley, I was able to put those worries aside knowing she was being well taken care of. She followed all my directions and sent multiple daily updates and photos. Any time we pick up our pup after Ashley watchers her you can tell she is well exercised and mentally tired. I can't recommend enough!
Ashley is an amazing dog sitter. She has stayed overnight with our dog Maddie multiple times for 5-7 nights at a time and always does such a great job with her. From daily walks, photo+video check-ins, cuddles and just everything you could want in someone watching your fur baby. She communicates really well, is very responsible, follows directions incredibly well (even the crazy lengthy ones we had for our dog’s feedings and treats), and is just an incredible person. Upon meeting her, you will just know she’s a dog person and wants to treat your dog as if it was her own, which makes being away so much easier knowing your dog is being treated so well. She’s got that “dog person aura”. If she’s available, you need to book her. It will be the best decision you’ve made regarding your pup’s care.
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Ashley since we were twelve years old, and I can confidently say she is one of the most dependable and hard-working people I know. Her work ethic is unmatched—she’s incredibly organized, punctual, and manages her time with ease. I’ve even had the opportunity to work under her when she was the General Manager of a busy restaurant, and her leadership and integrity always stood out. Beyond her professional strengths, Ashley has a genuinely kind and loving spirit. She’s the kind of person who gives her all to everything she does, and her love for animals is no exception. I’ve seen firsthand how gentle and caring she is with pets, and anyone who trusts her to care for their furry family members will be in great hands. Ashley is not only reliable—she’s someone you can trust without hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend her for pet sitting and dog walking. She will treat your pets like her own.

Schedule
As a yoga instructor, podcaster, and life coach, I’m lucky to have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work from home most of the time. Outside of the occasional yoga class I teach in person, I have the freedom to structure my days around the pets I care for. This means I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, and I’m able to give each pet my full presence and attention — which I genuinely love doing.
