Pet care experience

Pet pal!

(pronouns he/they) I have a all kinds of experience in different types of animal care. From walking high energy dogs and constant practicing of training techniques for those who require it, to just staying in at home and keeping them company and making sure that they are safe and happy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the pets I work with. I like to think of then as family when we are together. Once getting a feel for one another, I'll plan specific activities around that dogs needs to ensure they have the best stay possible. I strive to be as flexible as I can and to keep an open line of communication with the owner so they they are able to trust and relax. I am here to make life a little easier and of course to have fun! i prefer to go to your home as it makes the pups generally more comfortable to be in a familiar space and I do have a cat at my own home.

Ashley was professional, timely, and made sure to update me about my cats while I was out of state. I also have carnivorous plants which need some special care and they were cared for well! I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my animals were cared for. Thank you!

Ashley house set for me to keep company to my cat, Zelda. She sent me updates with pictures once a day, and during my trip I had a peace of mind knowing that Zelda is in good hands. I came back home to a relaxed and happy cat. Ashley was also very respectful to my home and left it tidy. Thank you, Ashley!

Ashley is always great with Molly and responsive. Right before this trip I had a couple of issues with my apartment arise and Ashley took dealing with these in stride. I’m always happy to work with Ashley again!

Ashley is always great! Molly is very comfortable with her and Ashley shares updates and pictures along the way. It really helps me to know Molly is happy and well taken care of while I’m gone.

Ashley and my dog Molly are old pals by now. Molly loves hanging with her and is always well cared for. Ashley is super professional and gives regular updates, which I always appreciate.

Ashley once again did a great job caring for Molly and my home. She even took the trash out and brought some packages in for me which is above and beyond. Molly loves hanging with her and we will definitely book Ashley again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I try to stick to the pets schedule as that is what they've come to know. if we find that there is a system that works better for us I am happy to check in with the parent to see if it's a good idea to integrate that. we're always learning!

A typical day

When your dogs with me you can be sure we're having a fun. I feel like with each new dog I get to explore in a different way every time. Me and my dog spend most of days outdoors, going on walks around the neighborhood, running in the park, hikes in the woods, or playing on the beach. It creates a bond between the pet and the caretaker, alleviating some of the anxiety that comes from being apart from your owner. Once were able to trust each other, everybody is able to truly relax. From there you just fall into a natural groove.
