Pet care experience
I cared for a dog for 14 years and it was the best 14 years of my life. My dog was a Beagle, German Shepard, and Rottweiler mix; the sweetest creature ever. Then that sad day came when I had to send her "home". Now I want to give that same love and attention to other dogs. My life no longer has space for round-the-clock dog care right now, but the time I do have I want to share with other dogs (ie dog walking). Currently I have a part time job that fluctuates, so I will update my info when provided. Some days I may be able to take a job at the last minute, based on my schedule. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Reviews
Ashley is great with our Wally!
Ashley is great with our Wally! So grateful for her availability and assistance with our guy!
I've been friends with Ashley since we were kids and we would walk our dogs together. I could tell Ashley loved her dog very much and I believe she would be a responsible and caring dog walker.

Safety, trust & environment
How I care for dogs during our walks is by staying alert the entire time - no earbuds with music, paying attention to crosswalks, and avoiding other dogs that I'm not familiar with. To build trust with your dog, I'd greet them and praise them on their terms when they're ready. I will make sure their harness is secure and snug to their body and that I have a secure grip on their leash.
Information Ashley L. would like to know about your pet
If a dog is nursing or menstruating, if they have a special harness, any bathroom problems (e.g. diapers), any anxiety issues and how to keep them calm, introduction techniques special to the dog, etc.
A typical day
Normally I would take the dog on a walk around the neighborhood; get them familiar with the area. This is a good way for them to recognize the area and how to get home in case of an emergency. And if the park allows, I'd take them through a park.
