I love dogs & I love yours already!
Pet care experience
I am a lifetime dog lover extreme who grew up with golden retrievers and sheepdogs, and I traveled the country for several years with my dear departed pooch Louis, a shi tzu mix rescue. I have also lived with/cared for terrier mixes and large pit mix dogs. My interest in dog behavior and wellness has grown greatly and I am currently taking online classes in Dog Cognition and Animal Behavior & Welfare to further help myself be a superb pet caregiver. I have been walking dogs for “strangers” for almost 2 years ago and enjoy it so much! Spending time with doggies and increasing their happiness and comfort levels is hugely rewarding and fun for me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from teeny puppies to my own Louis who lived a long full life, so I’m used to the needs of dogs of all kinds. As one of their biggest fans, I want to do whatever I can, even in small ways, to give every dog the best life possible.
Reviews
Ashley is a heck of a dog caregiver– I know that she's had dogs of her own, and it shows when she's leading a pack. And though she's able to lead dogs on their walks, it's clear that she wants her dogs to feel loved when she's taking care of them. Thanks for all the loving you've given our family's pets, Ashley!
Ashley is the BEST dog walker and dog sitter. Our sweet dog Frankie broke her leg last year (and had a little leg cast) and we hired Ashley to care for her during the day and walk her. Ashley took the absolute BEST care of Frankie during a really stressful time for us, and gave us complete peace of mind that she was in the best hands while we were at work. She is also super responsive, extremely reliable, and just a delight to work with. And Frankie just loves her! I would hire Ashley again to take care of Frankie in a second - she’s the absolute best!!!

Information Ashley E. would like to know about your pet
It will help me give your pet the best care possible if you let me know any triggers they may have- things that scare them, things that seems to get them excited or riled up, etc. And if there are any activities or foods for your dog to avoid outside of the “usuals”. I want to make your dog as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
I live steps from the Harbison walking paths, and less than a mile from Harbison State Forest- so if your pooch is into some nature walks I would love to take them there!! We have plenty of room inside to play if it’s very hot out or if that’s more your dog’s style. I look forward to finding the right adventures to go on with your dog!
