Great working with you on a fairly odd pet feeding request! Thank you for taking care of my menagerie:)
Could not have asked for a better sitter than Ashley. She took great care of my dog, sent lots of pics and videos and was very easy to communicate with. 10/10
Ashley is awesome! I’ve never left my dog with someone other than family so I was nervous but Ashley took such good care of my dog. I love that’s she send me updates while I am away.
Ashley watched my dogs twice now and both times have been excellent. The dogs come home happy and healthy, she sends daily updates with photos, and she has been very accommodating with a last minute flight delay on our end. Very happy with her care of my precious fur babies.
This was our first time using Rover and it didn’t disappoint. Ashley was kind, very knowledgeable and let us know an update about our dog each day. We will for sure be booking with her again.
Ashley was a fantastic caretaker for our 4 month old puppy Rufus while my wife and I went on our honeymoon. Loved the regular updates, and lots of pictures/videos of our pup. Rufus even had his first swim in Ashley’s pool! Super grateful for Ashley and how easy she was to work with, and all the fun times she gave Rufus! Thanks Ashley!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time career, so my days are planned around the pets staying with me. I love being able to give each pet plenty of individual attention and keep their routine as close to home as possible. My day revolves around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, cuddles, enrichment, and plenty of downtime. Every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust the day based on their age, energy level, personality, and normal schedule. 🐾💕
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want every pet who stays with me to feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. I live in a spacious four-bedroom home with plenty of room for pets to relax and spread out, including their own dedicated doggy bedroom. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and I also have dog beds and crates available if your pet prefers having their own cozy space. My home also has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, play, and fresh air throughout the day. As a Certified Veterinary Technician with more than 10 years of professional animal-care experience, safety is always a huge priority for me. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and animals with medical needs or medications. I carefully follow your instructions and pay close attention to changes in appetite, behavior, mobility, bathroom habits, and overall health. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is being cared for like one of my own. 💕🐶
Pets
A typical day
A typical day here is all about making your pet feel happy, comfortable, and included! Depending on their personality and energy level, the day may include walks, supervised backyard play, toys, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, meals, treats, medications, potty breaks, and plenty of time to nap and relax. Dogs have lots of room to move around inside the house and can relax on the furniture, hang out in the doggy bedroom, curl up in one of the dog beds, or use a crate if that is what they are most comfortable with. High-energy dogs can enjoy more play and activity, while seniors or calmer pets can have a slower, more relaxed day. I really want pets to feel like they’re staying with family — not like they’re in a boarding facility. 🐾

- The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their stay feel like home! Please tell me about their normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, medical conditions, allergies, exercise needs, sleeping habits, and whether they normally use a crate. I’d also like to know about any separation anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, escape behavior, destructive behavior, previous aggression or bite history, and how they interact with children and other animals. There is absolutely no judgment — knowing these things ahead of time simply helps me keep everyone safe and make your pet as comfortable as possible. And please tell me the fun things too! I love knowing their favorite toys, treats, nicknames, silly habits, where they like to sleep, and what makes them happiest. 💕🐾
