Animals are my heart and soul <3

Pet care experience

I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way!

Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.

Ashley is an incredibly responsible, kind, loving, trustworthy pet owner & sitter. I have trusted her with my dog many times & it is always a huge success. My dog loves her so much & gets excited to spend time with her. She goes above & beyond to make sure animals are well loved & taken care of. Anyone would be LUCKY to have her as a pet sitter!

Let me start by saying my husband and I often don't take trips because we HATE leaving our cats. They are such lovers that need attention, but are your classic scaredy-cat. We've also had health issues with one of our cats from stress, so we always try to minimize chances of repeat issues. Having Ashley to care for them is a game changer. I call her the cat whisperer. She doesn't just stop by to make sure they have food, water, and clean litter. She makes sure to engage them. Give them love and attention. I know it helps them so much more than any other cat sitter we've had. Honestly, they probably sometimes get better play in the 15-30+ minutes she plays with them than they often get from us! Even our really shy kitty is known to make an appearance for her. That's how I know they truly love her and her presence. Our cats also tend to open sock drawers and pull all the socks out and she helps put them back away. LOL totally not expected of her but she always goes above and beyond. I'm also pretty sure she cleans the litter more than we ask for because she knows it makes the cats happier. She also provides us with stories and updates which is helpful while we are missing them so much. Since getting our first cat about 9 years ago... I've never been more comfortable and happier leaving our cats behind as I do with Ashley. It's a great feeling to better enjoy vacations or whatever has us out of town.
