Passionate About Animals!
Pet care experience
I am currently a full-time college student at Rutgers University earning a degree in Ecology, Evolution & Natural Resources to strive towards my goal of having a career working to comfort and improve the lives of injured wild animals. I have 6 years experience working in a family-owned pet resort facility. I started out with extensive cleaning, indoor and outdoor, of each of the pet rooms. I also was designated for walking dogs on short walks and long trail hikes. I enjoyed cuddle times for with our senior pets, and play times in our large fenced in play area for our ones with lots of energy. After working there through high school I became assistant manager of the facility and took on more extensive tasks, sometimes being responsible for the entire facility unsupervised. I remained at this position until the closing of the facility in 2013, when the family decided to shut down the business and relocate to the west coast to be closer to family members. While working at this facility, I prided myself in being able to take new clients and their beloved pets and make them feel comfortable with me. I have been able to turn the most aggressive or shy animals into playful pups with patience, consistency and friendship. I also assure an owner I will do my best to insure their pets' safety and health. I feel that I establish a connection with these animals, I really get to know their personality and what they like and dislike. I LOVE taking fun pictures of pets!! I have experience in: -strictly following owners' instructions -handling multiple pets of all sizes -handling troublesome behaviors (aggression, timidness, fear) -feeding a diet specific to each animal, instructed by owners -distributing prescription medications and/or insulin injections correctly -cleaning all the possibility of messes! -comforting senior pets that may need special attention -walking, playing with pets safely -breaking up any fighting behavior between pets -My home is located in phillipsburg, NJ but I am frequently around the New Brunswick/Somerset/Edison area for school; and also in the Morristown/Madison/Chatham/Florham Park area many days a week and will be willing to pick up any jobs in these areas. -Any questions, feel free to ask!
Reviews
There are so many good things to say about Ashley. I consider my dogs my children and do not kennel them. There are only 3 people in the world I trust with my pets Ashley is too of the short list. I had an elderly, Jack Rusell who had separation anxiety, she loved and treated him like one of her own. Ash was also an employee of mine for many years and is very responsible and reliable. I recommend her with no doubts in my mind.
