Pet care experience
Looking for a pet sitting lady? I have 32 years in Show Handling-Training dogs PLEASE FIND ME ON Facebook under Shadowhill Kennel and Homestead!!! for tons of photos/videos! I also offer Grooming/Training/Small numbers Adventure Daycare. All dogs Puppies, Golden Oldies, Intact are welcome here! Yes I do allow multiple dogs to stay here. All are temperament tested on meet and greets. From the nervous nellies to the extroverted wiggle butts, Ihave taken a role in boarding dogs my entire life as my mother runs a full time operation in NC, Thus how i grew up adoring animals. I Grew up working and handling show dogs. I still own show dogs and actively compete. I have worked with and assisted in training Bite dogs, Show dogs,Therapy dogs and Agility. Giving Medications while either pill form or though shots I have done this with even the most bossy of horses and dogs alike. I offer daily adventures with the dogs, I have a fenced yard, I will crate if required or requested. If you dog pees or poops within the home yes they will have to be crated at night during their stay, Its a sanitation issue as Im sure you can understand. I give many outings a TON! Last outing is 9pm unless its a baby puppy of course. Some dogs love a crate otherwise they will have their bed and sleep about though the evening. I am super active so if your animal loves walks I am a perfect fit, even in the winter time we will leash up and stroll about on the woodland trails. While petting sitting in my home I will listen to you on how you care for your pet and i will strongly duplicate that. I come flea, tick, and worm free!!!! I take cleanliness seriously here to make sure your animal is returned well and healthy. Yes bitches in heat are welcome mother neture happens you cant help that. I have ample space to adjust for. I can and will keep dogs away from other dogs if this is desired by the owner. Every animal is a Adventure and I am always learning and growing as I meet them.
Reviews
My dog was well cared for and Ashley was super flexible with us on our drop off and pick up times.
Ashley was great with Farley and had other friendly dogs there for Farley to play with. They went on a field trip and dipped in the water and Ashley sent photos throughout the day of Farley having fun. Thanks Ashley!
It was our first time boarding our 1 year old pup, and I'm so glad we chose to go with Ashley. As soon as we arrived for drop-off Josie immediately looked at home and it was more of a summer camp weekend away for her instead of boarding. Ashley is a clear animal lover through and through and we feel so fortunate to have her nearby. If we ever need someone to watch Josie again, Ashley would be #1 on our list!
Ashley was EXCEPTIONAL! Not only did she squeeze me in last minute, it was immediately apparent that she was highly skilled and detail oriented. My dog is fairly large and can be stubborn. The vibes were mellow and welcoming at Ashley’s. My dog got out of the car and sniffed about wagging his tail, good sign! Her disposition and friendly nature was not only felt by me, but also my pup ;) Ashley handled him as if he was a lapdog! I received countless photos. She took him swimming and for long walks and he slept in her home. I picked my dog up at her house and he was not anxious to hop in the truck. He simply ran around her yard and pranced about as if he was at an old friend’s house! I rarely ever send him to a kennel as I’ve noticed he is rambunctious and desperate for attention. Upon pick up he was as calm and happy as he was at an old friend’s house. By saying, “ I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter” is an understatement. Tip top service, no question. I look forward to using her services in the future. Give her a call. ;) 10 stars!!!!

Sleep in the home, if not potty trained they will be crated as that is unhygienic for other dogs staying here that are well mannered. I have a fenced yard, I FEED SEPARATE!!!! I do not take my eyes off boarded pets as you never know what mischief they can get into. I won't allow them to get into any food/rocks,salt water etc. on the ground if out walking. There are other dogs here NO MEAN DOGS ALLOWED! playing rough is fine I am talking no dog aggressive dogs here. I will take what the owner says they want done and run with that,I do not break boundaries with peoples pets at all. They will have an entire finished basement with mats, music and food and water, as well as a yard, Sun Porch and heaps of walking if they wish or rest animal depending. This is a ADVENTURE BNB FOR DOGS!!!!

Please no fleas, the dog cannot have fleas we all know how much is available to us these days for controlling those pesty bugs and they must come with some treatment on them or otherwise you will be spreading it to others dogs and we all know Fleas lead to TAPE WORMS!!!! Rabies Distemper and basic Puppy shots are needed please Other friendly dogs do stay here. I keep it clean,it runs very smoothly and it's very safe for all kinds of kinds. Big, small, active,old and slow. Whatever the dog it is welcome if it enjoys the company of others. The nights are quiet the days are fun. My repeat boarding dogs love coming back here. That is my goal!!!
A typical day
Wooded walks on a leash or off leash depending how many times the animal has boarded with me, toy time if they are toy motivated, lick mats and homemade treats! I have a fence spot for them if they need some private space they will have it. I have music as well as resting area for napping also . I take photos and videos of them as well. WE STAY VERY ACTIVE! IF your dog is older they will have ample resting time. If your dog is not into much adventures that is fine they can be leashed and walk with me while others have fun.

We take feild trips, to the forest, to go swimming, to go to open feilds for a romp and stomp I keep them busy. I'm here with the dogs this is what I do this is my job. I'll be grooming, training, working in the yard, taking the dogs on a trip it's what I offer. I will be walking your dog on long walks if they want to do so however i know not every dog is fit to walk for long and i will pick up on that and we can do some laps around the house instead. The dogs won't ever be board or feel lonely! I can do some basic obedience training if that interests you as well. I can work with the person on which days are needed and see how how it fits into my daily activities. I am quite flexible and willing to work with all walks of life as well as work around time commitments.
