Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Favorite Sitter
Dogs have been a particularly big part of my life. I grew up with a Chihuahua who had multiple litters, and I helped care for approximately four litters of puppies, including feeding, monitoring, and caring for them as they grew. I’ve also puppy sat a German Shepherd, Pit Bull mix, and Doberman puppy, which gave me experience handling young, energetic dogs that require confidence, patience, and plenty of attention. I’ve also had the experience of caring for a dog through her senior years. As my dog grew older, I became more attentive to her changing needs and learned the importance of providing extra patience, comfort, supervision, and gentle care for an aging pet. I have some experience with cats as well. While dogs have been my primary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats too and have experience handling and bathing them. I understand that cats have their own personalities and boundaries, and I’m happy to give them time to feel comfortable and safe around me. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs a little extra patience, I want every animal in my care to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect while following their normal routines as closely as possible. Before caring for a pet, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, medications if applicable, and any special instructions. In my client’s home, I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are supervised and kept in a safe environment. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and let them become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕
Ratings and reviews
Ashley cared for my Doberman puppy, who was extremely energetic, strong, and definitely strong-willed! Even though he could be a handful, Ashley wasn’t intimidated at all. She made sure he got plenty of playtime, exercise, and walks to burn off his energy, while also paying close attention to his behavior and needs. She would send me pictures and funny videos throughout the day that honestly made me laugh and helped me feel connected to him while I was away. She was patient, confident, and attentive, and I always knew he was in good hands with her.
Ashley has taken care of my German Shepherd puppies, and I always felt completely comfortable leaving them with her. She had already cared for her own dogs’ puppies, so she honestly had more puppy experience than I did! She made sure they stayed on their normal routine, kept everything clean and organized, and always sent me pictures and updates so I knew they were happy and doing well. She’s loving, responsible, and genuinely treats animals like her own. I’d trust her with my fur babies anytime!

Schedule
I’m a full-time student, so I’m primarily available on weekends for pet care. I enjoy staying active and exercising, so going on walks and spending time outdoors with pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I also find being around animals relaxing and rewarding, and I love giving them attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsAshley can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know about your pet’s feeding schedule, medications, allergies, temperament, favorite activities, bathroom routine, and anything that makes them nervous or uncomfortable. I’d also like to know how they do around new people and other dogs, their usual commands, house rules, and how you prefer me to handle unwanted behavior so I can keep them comfortable and stay consistent with what they’re used to.
