Pet care experience

Pets are life, love and passion

My name is Ashley. I moved from the USA to the Netherlands, about 25mins from the city center in November 2025. I’m 35 years young with a lifelong passion for animals. I can’t remember a time when animals haven’t been a part of my life, whether it’s dogs, hamsters, hedgehogs, or birds, I’ve cared for them all. My husband often jokes about the long list of pets I’d love to adopt next! I’m the kind of person who will stop to let a flock of birds cross the road, or even swerve to avoid hitting anything. I truly believe in treating every animal I meet as if they’re my own. That’s why friends and family always turn to me when they need a pet sitter. I love giving their fur babies the attention and care they deserve while they’re away.

Ashley was great. I appreciated how easy she was to work with and was very prompt with communications. Stetson seemed to enjoy his stay.

Ashley did a great job taking care of our dog. We received updates, pictures & videos while he played at Ashley’s house. She even took him for a walk, which he loves. Ashley is great!

I have found Ashley Hickman, to be reliable, responsible and caring with her dog care and others around her. She is knowledgeable of the safety and frequency of dog walking. I would absolutely trust my dog in Ashley’s care. She will also care for them in her home, she has a fenced yard and the space and provisions to care for them there. I would highly recommend her services for dog sitting, walking, and taking care of your dogs. Sincerely, SN

Schedule

I have 2 dogs I take care of daily. They are both in their “teen” stage. One is a Labradoodle and the other a Aussiedoodle. Both anre energetic and curious throughout the day. Making sure they have a great routine throughout the day is key for them to feel stimulated. I have two dogs that I take care of every day—both are in their "teen" stage, so they’re full of energy and curiosity! One is a Labradoodle, and the other is an Aussiedoodle. Keeping a good routine helps them stay happy and stimulated, whether it's playtime, walks, or just some time to explore. I also had a 15-year-old Chiweenie who loved his naps and required daily medication. I absolutely cherished taking care of my senior boy, and it taught me so much about patience and the special care older pets need. Each of my pets holds a special place in my heart, and I bring that same level of love and attention to every pet I care for.

Safety, trust & environment

I take pet care very seriously and always make sure my fur babies are well-fed, hydrated, and happy. I’m diligent about keeping their water fresh and ensuring they’re fed on time each day. They both enjoy their daily treats and teeth cleanings, and I never skip their regular walks. For the younger pup in my family, I always set aside time for a fun game of fetch to keep her active and engaged. Above all, I make sure to carve out time for snuggling and bonding with them, providing the love and attention they deserve. Your pets will feel safe, cared for, and loved under my watch.

A typical day

I thoroughly enjoy engaging in interactive play, such as fetch or tug-of-war, tailored to the preferences of the pet. Daily walks around the neighborhood are always included to provide both exercise and stimulation, followed by some cozy snuggles once they’ve had their fill of outdoor activities. Each pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority, ensuring they receive the physical and emotional care they need throughout the day.

I have a deep appreciation for all dog breeds and enjoy working with a diverse range of personalities. To ensure I provide the best care, I’d like to learn more about the dog’s specific preferences and behaviors, such as whether they are skittish, their favorite toys or activities, and how they typically interact with new people. This information helps me tailor my approach to meet their unique needs and ensure a comfortable, positive experience.
