Has own dog, wants more, compromise
Pet care experience
I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such.
Reviews
I have known Ashley all her life. She is a genuine lover of animals. And sees animals as equals with rights and objects of love. In highschool, she worked at a pet supply store in Avon, IN for several years. She takes really loving care of her Pitbull mix, middle-aged dog. She would provide the same loving and caring examples to dogs she would walk. Lastly, she is very courteous and polite human being.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.
Information Ashley K. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences! All dogs are good dogs if loved and trained. What I want to know is what type of medical concerns or conditions they have. I'm totally up for senior dogs. Just let me know if I have to carry them home. Also, I need to know about medication, routine, and behavioral issues (is your pupper good around other dogs, do they like people, are they shy, do they like kids, and do they have triggers).
A typical day
For the first couple of walks, I think it is important to maintain the routine your pupper is used to. So I'll be walking them around their neighborhood, and allowing the dog/s to adjust to me. However, I have trails where I live that I will be more than happy to take them on ad long as they are good in car and update on tick meds. I'm more than happy to take them Nashville too. Again they have to good with car rides. And I'm also willing to walk around my church and introduce them to my dog. I also have an Aunt with a cocker spaniel, so there are several options and socializing opportunities here.

Availability
I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability.
