Hello! I am Ashley, your Fairy Pawsitter. I have over a decade of experience and have had many pets of my own throughout my life. I have many years of experience with senior dogs. I grew up in the Boston area, went to fashion school in NYC and came back to work in tech. I own an axolotl so definitely reach out if you are looking for care for a water dog - or any dog for that matter. I began my pet sitting business in January 2023. When you book with me, you are booking for my extensive experience and hands on care. Given my attentive nature and experience with older dogs, I am qualified and open to watching dogs who have more specific needs- whether it be dietary, medicine, anxiety issues, etc. please state these needs in advance. Experience: ** Schnauzer puppy (6 months old) currently undergoing training in my home ** Animal care volunteer program in Costa Rica - 1 week in February 2024. ** My dear boy Charlie, who I had for 11 years. He passed in October 2023. ** My Rover cats and dogs, who all have a polaroid picture on my kitchen mirror. ** Dog walking in Manhattan and Brooklyn during college. ** My cat Marcy, who was taken in as a stray from the streets of Brooklyn. ** My cat Samantha. She was my little fighter who passed in 2015. ** My dogs Jake and Bugsy, whom we had for many years into their golden years. I want to make sure your family has the best experience! I like meet and greets and often require them! This allows you to see the space your furry friend will be in and allows them to acclimate. We may need some time to coordinate schedules.
