Pet care experience
With over 1100 bookings, and over 900 repeat bookings, I strive to earn your trust. Hello! My name is Ashley and I am a stay at home mom with a love for all animals! I began attending school to become a Vet Tech, but with the welcome of my kids, a job where I’m able to work from home and still surround myself with animals, made the most sense. I was incredibly fortunate to begin dog sitting and am still very fortunate to continue doing so. We are conveniently located near the city in Clintonville, only about 20 minutes away from all surrounding Columbus areas. Our yard is completely free of chemicals and any plants that may be harmful to an animal if ingested. Including those pesky mushrooms that want to keep popping up in the spring and summer! The yard offers plenty of shade and room to run and play, my kids also help with the running and playing! My mom has a long running history with bully breed rescue (30+ years) that my boys have grown up around. I myself, have grown up in a home that was a rescue for bully breeds, often living with double and triple the number of dogs than humans. I have a deep love for animals and hope to provide you and your pup a safe, comfortable and loving sitting experience. We allow any dog to be up on our furniture and welcome snuggles. However, if the owner does not allow the dog on the furniture at home, we will honor that rule in our home as well, along with any other particular rules! Any items you wish to bring for your pup to feel more at home is encouraged and welcomed - no real bones or rawhides. Of course, any dog that we may watch will be informed of any other dog they may be around. We take UTD (up to date) on shots seriously, as your dog may be in contact with other dogs. All dogs must also be on flea medication regularly. I have 10+ years of experience taking care of puppies as well as knowing how to properly introduce and interact with dogs. Through our families bully breed rescue and volunteer work with local animal shelters, I was able to acquire and perfect these skills. So rest assured, your pup friend is in good hands and will be safe and taken care of while you are away. We offer frequent daily updates, as well as photos of your pup while they are visiting our home. We love to go on daily walks around the block or to local parks around our house. *** We will never take your dog to a dog park. *** Pets of our own?: We have no pets of our own. No cats (as I know that can be an issue with some dogs) and no dogs of our own. All of our attention will be on your pup while they are here and there will be no territorial feelings towards any of the dogs coming into the home, as it is a neutral territory for all. We would love to meet you and your pup friend and welcome all dogs into our family, pending that they are comfortable with children and interact well with them! While we love all dogs, I need to put my children's safety first, not only for them but for the dog as well. We hope to hear from you! :)
Reviews
Ashley did a great job responding quickly! Thanks for taking care of Cali
Ashley was fantastic, we’ll definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
Ashley did a great job with Tucker. She went above and beyond when Tucker got sick to his stomach. She kept me posted daily. I highly recommend her and will take Tucker there again
Ashley is wonderful and always takes great care of our pup while we’re away!

Information Ashley F. would like to know about your pet
Information important to know: We welcome any breed, age, gender or size (currently not accepting dogs over 30lbs) dog into our home, as long as they are comfortable with children and other dogs. We would like to know anything you feel is important to tell us about your pup friend. Whether it is a special needs circumstance, medication the dog is taking, physical limits, quirks, feeding habits, etc. We also would like to know in advance if, for female dogs, she is in heat. We accept dogs that are, but would like to be able to put a dog diaper on her while she is here, and avoid scheduling both an unspayed female and an unneutred male at the same time.
A typical day
Typical Day: We really believe in caring for the dog as if it were our own in unison with how the owner would like. While we would allow our dogs on the furniture and bed, if the owner does not allow that behavior at home, then we will honor that at our home as well. The dogs we sit are welcome to sleep however they normally sleep - the bed, dog bed, couch, crate, etc. Although, my kids are always hoping that the dogs will want to sleep with them! I am a stay at home mom so any dog we sit will be with us almost 24/7, with the exception of quick errands that might need to be ran during the day - for dogs with us an extended period of time, or to take my kids to swim at the pool for a couple of hours here and there during the summer.
