When I leave the house for a meeting or errand I separate the dogs with our gate, making sure everyone has water and toys.

Information Ashley & James D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or considerations! I would love to know what time they eat and how much food to give at each meal. I would also love to know how they feel about other dogs, toys, and any other quirks that come with each and every fur baby.

A typical day

During the day we take walks around the quieter streets surrounding Little Italy and Nolita that provide plenty of spots for sniffing, pigeon-chasing and pet relief! At home we play fetch in our long hallway and offer lots of cuddle and play time! Of course, we can't forget naps :) On weekends we go to Washington Square Dog Park or the Hudson River Park with its doggy sprinklers.

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong dog lover dedicated to helping animals. I've adopted two dogs from the South Korean dog meat trade and fundraised over $50,000 for the organization that rescued them. My 2 sweet, small/medium-sized jindo mixes love other dogs and I'm always a go-to among friends for dog sitting while they're on vacation! My dogs adore having friends over to play with and I love hosting them! Expect walks to Washington Square Park, meticulous following of all your pups' specific food/medication guidelines, daily photo updates, all the texting you need and lots of couch cuddles! Each dog is unique and I'm committed to making them feel as loved and comfortable as my own dogs do. :) I work from home three days a week and am able to pop home on my in-office days (Tuesday and Wednesday) mid-day for walks. I am available for weekend and weekday boarding. My husband also helps me on my in-office days by coming home early around 3 p.m. I have two sweet, mellow medium-sized dogs who love some play time followed by lots of naps in our relatively spacious 1-bedroom apartment that has a long hallway great for fetch. I separate dogs during feedings to avoid any possessiveness. My dogs love toys, but we can take those away if they are triggering for your pet! I walk my dogs three times a day and we go to Washington Square Park on the weekends for socialization. As every dog has their quirks (for example, one of mine is an escape artist so holding his leash securely is a must!) I make sure to honor your pet's needs, be it dietary or behavioral. I am available by phone and text at all times and will send a daily check-in, more if needed! I've watched pit bulls, king charles cavaliers, chihuahua mixes, labs, poodles, doodles, and toy Australian Shepherds. As long as they like other dogs who are generally mellow but a little playful they will fit right in!

Ashley and James were wonderful with my pup, providing lots of updates to this anxious dog mum, and making Archie feel right at home. Would 100% recommend.

Ashley and James took amazing care of my girl Georgia while we travel abroad for 6 days. When we picked her up we could tell that she really enjoyed staying with them and their pups Sandwich and Gemma! ? We highly trust and recommend them as you will instantly notice their love for dogs the minute you meet them.

Ashley and James were the absolute best! Our dogs, who typically run right up to us when we walk into a room, did not want to leave Ashley and James' home. To us as pet parents, there is no greater compliment nor comfort knowing that our dogs love their caretakers. Thank you for everything, Ashley and Jame - highly recommend!

Ashley and James were so welcoming to Luciano and treated him as one if theirs. Lucci can be a bit nippy during food or play time with toys; Ashley went the extra mile to feed them in shifts avoiding any mishaps. It was all playtime from there on out, Lucci cannot wait to come back for more fun with their dogs Sandwich and Gemma!
