Professional Dog Trainer & Sitter
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Ashley. My fiancé James and I moved to the area with our fur family 5 years ago and would love to help your care for yours too! I am a Certified Dog Trainer specializing in obedience, service dogs, and behavioral modification. We have dogs and cats that all get along wonderfully and love new friends. Our life is full of love an adventure! We have experience with all breeds and species. Each stay with dog includes enrichment activities, mental/physical outlets, and basic training. For a modified daily rate we also offer board and train services, Puppy Boot Camp, and private training. Just inquire in a message! Let us know how we can help you today. Along with my training certification I am also certified in Pet CPR and first aid so your baby will always be in safe hands. No breed restrictions apply. I love all animals equally! If you have any questions please feel free to ask :) I am in and out for lessons a few times a day, although I make my own schedule so unless it’s a last minute booking I can usually make any accommodations necessary. We have a two part yard, one run with access to the pool and one without. Dogs are always supervised outside no matter which side they’re on. We take a long morning exercise hour in the yard and another in the evening. Most afternoons include short potty breaks in the hot summer, or some kind of pool and cooling enrichment. During the cooler seasons we do pack walks on our walking path nearby, adventure hikes, and park visits! In the evenings if we’re not playing in the yard we may go to the park or walking path nearby for exercise. When out of the yard dogs are always kept on leash or long lines. While inside I offer enrichment activities, some training, and even some downtime. Activities vary depending on the season.
Reviews
My initial weekend plans completely changed, and I was appreciative of how responsive Ashley and James were. Diesel fit right in upon arrival, and it was clear he was going to have a good day of play. I will definitely keep this Rover pair in mind for the future when I need a reliable and safe place for him to stay!
Ashley and James were amazing to my baby boy stout. I needed a last minute sitter and they were available and very accommodating to my needs. She proves great feedback, updates and most importantly, she took such great care and spoiled my baby. She is a personal trainer so she showed me the area where the dogs are fed, the toys and equipment she uses for training. I will definitely be using her again :)
Absolutely awesome experience. My dogs absolutely loved it here. I know my dogs are in great hands.
Ashley was the best. She was available anytime we wanted to check in on our Dog. She sent videos and pictures often. Even let us know how she was getting along with the daycare dogs. We would be trust her with both our dogs anytime we go out of town.thanks Ansley

Safety, trust & environment
We have 4 fenced in runs for the dogs. We section them off based on time of day so the dogs can have a shaded and cool place to potty. We also run them in the yard by temperament so they always have a “gang” of similar kiddos to run with. During feeding and enrichment times we have them in their crates for safety, which is our number one priority. Additionally the dogs do sleep in their crate at night with Alexa playing them peaceful music and individual beds in their sleeping space.

Information Ashley & James T. would like to know about your pet
Please tell us a little about your baby and any special requirements they may need. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs, so administering medications, or caring for a baby that has special needs is not an issue. Over the years I’ve also worked with many rescues and aided the pups in getting comfortable in new surroundings while building confidence. We will take reactive and fearful cases, although aggressive cases require an evaluation prior to booking.
A typical day
Every visit with your dog includes enrichment activities or a one our training session (by special request). Your baby will enjoy nice long walks around our dog friendly neighborhood (paw safety is always first in the summer heat), a large yard to play in, mister/pool parties, socialization with our dogs and cats, and even adventure trips as mentioned above. We strive to keep a structured routine that optimizes a calm and balanced environment while still having the best time of your dogs life.
