Pet care experience
Hello! I've grown up with both social and non-social dogs. Loving dogs, I decided to work with them on my school breaks. I have worked at 3 dog care facilities: my work experience includes time as a doggy playgroup leader and a supervisor. I have monitored dog interactions/behavior in daycare playgroups, played/walked alone with non-social dogs, fed dogs with special diets, administered various types of medication, and have assisted in dog training classes (operant conditioning). I have also volunteered at a rescue center. I know a lot about dog behaviours and interactions. Furthermore, I am experienced with geriatric dogs and automatically watch for pain indicators. During zoo internships, I learned much about the necessity of keeping animal minds engaged (so they don't chew up shoes!); I have thus incorporated activities to mentally stimulate my own dog and can do so for your dogs as well! If your dog is on "bedrest," mental stimulation can be a way to use up some of their restless energy. I'm excited to meet your furry family!
Reviews
Ashley was an excellent dog sitter, and took great care of Cocoa. She seems to have an affinity for animals, and is both caring and playful.
Ashley was great with our dogs who aren’t akways people friendly! They liked her immediately and we are already scheduling with her again... thanks Ashley!
Ashley is my dog's favorite human! Our rescue dog has been a bit of challenge, initially having serious trust issues with both other dogs and humans. Ashley has been instrumental with building her self confidence and easing her interactions with others. She is very attuned to our dog's moods, is great at both playing with and training her, and is very aware of ensuring that our dog is well cared for. As she pets/rubs our dog, Ash is making sure that paws and skin are looking good. As she walks our dog, Ashley always brings water and is cognizant of heat/cold tolerances. Ashley is responsible, knowledgeable, playful and caring. I highly recommend Ashley as a dog sitter. She loves dogs and dogs love her.
Ashley has years of experience working with pets. She's worked with dogs that have aggression issues as well as shy dogs. My dog is usually shy around most people, but she absolutely loves Ashley. I would recommend her to anyone!
