WFH teacher/ pet professional

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Ashley and I am a super proud dog mom:) not only am I a certified special education teacher, I am also a licensed counselor. The therapeutic benefits that dogs offer us daily is truly remarkable. I have never met a dog I didn’t love..My family and I have had multiple dogs our whole lives. I have volunteered for 2 prominent Dog organizations in NJ. We have fostered rescue dogs in the past and are hopping to have a seeing eye puppy placed in our care in the future. Everyone around me loves and respects dogs. My best friend even happens to be a vet! Veteran educator now working from home. I am available every day of the week for walks and play dates. Boarding also considered. Dogs walked every 2/ 4 hours depending on age and need. I have 2 amazing dogs to keep your pet company should you choose to board. For walks, I am a seasoned professional who understands the value of trust and reliance. Your pets will be well cared for when they are entrusted to my care. To ease anxieties an apple itag is available to be placed on your dogs collar while they are in my care.

Ashley swooped in and saved the day while my mother was recovering from a health condition and unable to take care of our family dog, Sunny. Ashley was truly a bright spot during a difficult week. We are so grateful to her! Highest possible recommendation, as Ashley was so easy to communicate with, extremely reliable and flexible, and bonded with Sunny so well right away. Thank you, Ashley!

When boarding with me at the “Mountainside Mutt Hutt” dogs have full run of the entire home (beds & couches included!) If staying in your home I ask the homeowner to leave a detailed “lesson plan” for this recently “retired” special educator. I follow all directions to the letter. As a licensed therapist, I understand the value of trust & confidentiality. With me, you are able to enjoy your time away from home completely stress free- knowing a competent, reliable professional is taking care of your home & pups!
