Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitively Cared for Pets! 🐾
Dogs have been family to me for over 30 years -as a breeder, in the breed and obedience show rings, herding, frisbee, dock diving, other types of dog sports, and mostly as loving family members and companions. Herding breeds, such as Australian Cattle Dogs, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherds, German Shepherds, and a Shiba Inu (not a herding breed, but definitely a character!) have graced my household and enriched my life. The love of all creatures great and small started at a very early age for me and began with a snail. The rest is history...from catching snakes and any creature that crawls, swims, flies, runs, or otherwise. Worked, trained, and showed horses, worked cattle on ranches for years, caught and had snakes and other reptiles, raised chickens, and vetted my own creatures. My favorite pastime has always been to observe animal behavior and glean the timeless wisdom they have to offer us that we can apply to our own lives and interactions with each other. May you receive all they have to offer!!

Ratings and reviews
Ashley took good care of Violet and I would recommend her, and use her again to care for my Great Dane.
Ashley was wonderful taking care of our super high energy 1 yr old Jack Russell, Cali. At the meet & Greet, Ashley took time to get to know us and Cali. She spent over an hour letting Cali get used to the new surroundings. During Cali's stay, Ashely contacted us each day via e-mail and sent numerous photos of Cali's adventure. She offered tips on training our fur child and we highly recommend Ashley. We will definitely be repeat clients. Thanks Ashley
3 rd time I used Ashley to watch Murphy. So glad I found her. Thanks for taking great care of my buddy!
Ashley’s care for animals really shines through. She was incredibly communicative and took great care of Mini. Will absolutely rebook in the future!
Ashley was very respectful to my sitting needs and worked with me to accommodate my timing. She was kind and firm with my dogs, which they responded well to. I know that because we did a visit with her before I actually left the dogs with her, which was a great thing. They were very calm and content when I picked them up. She also spent time training me to know how to train my dogs. That was a wonderful side benefit. I highly recommend Ashley and will use her again.
Ashley was a delight and so good for Cece…patient and calm with my little anxious dog and me! Lots of pictures and comments throughout the days as needed. She is awesome!!
