Pet care experience
I've grown up with animals of all kinds. I've been pet/house sitting since I was 16 yrs old. I have been a Veterinary Assistant for 5+yrs and love every second of it!!! I work at a veterinary clinic where I get an hour for lunch break so I am able to let dogs out at my convenience as well as stay over if the pet owner wishes. (Lunch hours vary 12pm,1230pm, 1pm) I do request special words used for potty, pee, poop, kennel, crate, bed, hand signals for daily routine as well as list of typical daily routines. (How often do they poop, eat, etc. So these things are monitored). I prefer to dogsit for those that have fenced in yards, pet is able to be latched to some kind of lead that is secure outside, or I take out on a leash/harness or halti. As much as an owner swears their pet will mind me I do not roll with risks of an unexpected spook and the pet take off. I take this extremely serious. I will not feed your pet rawhides, bones of any kind, or human foods (cheeseburger/pork/etc). I require pet owner to have a list of allergies, foods, schedule for feedings if applicable as well as medications, must have veterinary information and informed their primary veterinarian that I have permissions to bring in and discuss any emergency needs for the pet in their absence. Any quirks your pet has regarding behavior or anxiety must be discussed as I want to make this the safest environment and make the experience with me as positive as possible. Please be prepared to provide vaccination proof for ALL pets. If over 1-2yrs old, must be spayed or neutered.
Reviews
I don't have to worry about my babies when Ashkey is taking care of them. She spends time with them and plays with them. They don't show any signs of being stressed when we get home. I highly recommend Ashley!
I never have anything to worry about when booking Ashley. She takes great care of our pets and home while we are away. She has great communication and our fur babies love her!
Ashley was really great with my cats, Pip and Squeak. She sent pictures or videos every visit and I could tell that they liked her. I would definitely recommend her for pet visits. Patsy
Ashley is great with jack. She is so kind to him and she loves her

Safety, trust & environment
If the owners yard is not fenced in and there is no tie out system set up I will have the pet/pets on a leash. Do not allow any human foods fed while under my care. I do a walk around to ensure I do not see any obvious safety issues. I have open communication with the owners of all things while their pet/pets are under my care including pictures and video. I require my clients to notify their primary veterinary clinic that their pets will be watched by me. *Disclosure of all indoor and outdoor cameras is also required and appreciated. Any undisclosed cameras will result in a $25 fee (each camera) that will be applied to your booking*
Information Ashley J. would like to know about your pet
As mentioned previously I do request a list of medications your pet requires and the best way they take them. Any health issues should be disclosed in order to properly care for your pet. All medications should have veterinarian label with instruction of how they should be given. I need to know any behavior modification I should adhere to.
A typical day
I can take your pet on approved walks, play fetch, car rides, approved treats, practice tricks, play with favorite toys, lots and lots of pets and snuggles.

Ashley can watch in your home
Availability
I work full-time at a veterinary clinic, get 1 hour lunch, and during the meet n greet process explain in detail when I'm available. If said time slots do not work with the care of the pet/owners wishes the booking is not made. I am flexible to an extent.
