Highlights
Pet care experience
Highly trained pet handler/trainer.
Hi, I’m Ashley Hertlen — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience in pet care and dog training. My journey started early, volunteering at the Humane Society during my teenage years. Those two summers opened the door to working at Riverside Animal Hospital, where I deepened my understanding of animal health and behavior. From there, I began training my own dogs for shows and competitions, proudly bringing home People’s Choice trophies and earning multiple training certificates. Over the years, I’ve also worked at a boarding facility, caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Today, I’m a professional dog trainer at PetSmart, where I help pet parents build stronger bonds with their dogs through positive reinforcement and customized training plans. Why Work With Me? • Years of Experience in veterinary support, boarding, and professional training • Award-Winning Dog Trainer with show experience and certifications • Passion-Driven Care for every animal I work with, like they’re my own Whether you’re looking for help with obedience training, behavior challenges, or general pet care tips — I’m here to help you and your pet thrive together.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ashley did a great job watching our dog. She kept us updated on how he was doing and even sent pics. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

We cannot say enough great things about Ashley! This was actually Cruz’s second time staying with her, and he genuinely loves going back that alone says everything! She went completely above and beyond, treating him like her own and giving us total peace of mind while we were on vacation. If you’re looking for someone dependable, loving, and trustworthy for your fur baby, book with Ashley you will not regret it!

Ashley updated me and sent pics while I saw away. When I picked up my baby, he was happy.

My dog seemed happy and healthy after spending two plus weeks with Ashley.
Thank you Ashley

Amazing care as always! Thank you again!
