Dog Lover & Rescuer
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Ashley — a lifelong dog lover and trainer with over 23 years of experience in rescue, rehabilitation, fostering, and behavioral support. From puppies to seniors, shy dogs to leash-reactive ones, I’ve cared for them all. I currently live seasonally on a peaceful campground through November, which offers dogs plenty of enrichment with long nature walks, social interaction, and lots of time outdoors (weather permitting). I’m accepting: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Doggy day care (1-2 dogs only) • Boarding (1 dog at a time, up to 80 lbs. or 2 small/medium dogs)
Reviews

Ashely was very responsive and flexible with our timing. We are very appreciative of Ashley’s excellent care!
Ashley has been a close personal friend, one of my best, for over 20+ years. During this time, I’ve watched Ashley take beautiful care of all her own dogs as well as donate her own time, money and resources to help misfortunate dogs that do not have homes or in need of medical care. Ashley is patient and has always trained her own multiple dogs to be very kind, safe, friendly but also good listeners and very disciplined. I’ve cared for Ashley’s dogs while she’s been away and never had a problem and it was always a pleasure to care for her well-trained dogs. I trust her dogs around my own children and her last dog that sadly passed away, “Jameson” helped my special needs son get over his fear of dogs and now he is absolutely in love with dogs and has a good understanding on how to conduct himself around dogs of different personalities. I have no doubt Ashley would be on time and reliable and take great pride in delivering good care for whatever dogs are in her possession. Ashley would make a great rover.
Ashley was really great with my dog max. He’s a German shepherd and can be allot but she followed the instructions for his feeding and walks.
I don’t know if I’ve met anyone who adores dogs as much as Ashley. She is a superb trainer who maintains the capacity to lovingly correct unwanted behavior. She has an uncanny ability to connect with dogs and can easily read the subtle messages they present. She is especially astute when it comes to working with bully breeds as she has been a pit/staffy momma for 20 years. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs assistance with their fur baby.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and structured environment at our campsite — ideal for dogs who need peace, space, and freedom to relax. The location also allows for easy, stress-free drop-off and pick-up. I have secure tie-outs, crates, and leashes to meet each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup enjoys structured walks, lounging in the shade, or sniffing around camp, I offer a safe, enriching experience with plenty of mental stimulation. Dogs are never left unattended, and their boundaries are always respected. My setup is flexible and tailored to your dog’s temperament, energy level, and comfort with others. Whether we’re resting or exploring, your dog will be treated like one of my own.

I can accommodate special diets, meds, and supplements. I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of needs — just let me know what your pup requires!
A typical day
Each day includes long, enriching walks through the campground and surrounding nature trails, with plenty of outdoor time (weather permitting). I focus on mental stimulation through leash work, structured play, and calm socialization. My own dog, Delilah, is fully off-leash trained with excellent recall and boundary respect — a great role model for visiting pups. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a relaxed pace, I help them settle into a routine that supports comfort, structure, and positive behavior.

Availability
As a stay-at-home dog mom living on a seasonal campground, pet care is built into my daily life. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and doggy day care. Your pup will enjoy outdoor time, structure, and plenty of attention alongside my sweet and well-trained dog, Delilah.
