Zookeeper and animal trainer!
Pet care experience
I've always had a great love for animals big and small, probably why I became a zookeeper! I have experience with medicating animals (even difficult ones), following strict guidelines for those that have special dietary needs, elderly animals that have mobility and incontinence issues, as well as just providing general company and love in your absense. I have also worked with dogs that have had physical deformities or special needs that needs more extensive, round the clock care. I have a dog and cat of my own, and I know how hard it is to leave them behind when you have to go out of town at the last minute. Knowing they're in good hands is the best peace of mind I can offer you.
Reviews
What an incredible gal! Ashley took perfect care of my very nervous dog, even though it took him a couple of hours to get used to her. She is seriously a doggy whisperer!

Information Ashley L. would like to know about your pet
I'd just like to know if they have issues with other animals, if we're on a walk it's always good to know if we should turn around if there's another dog approaching in the distance. i think it's also helpful to know if they have an abusive background. For example, my dog is a rescue and some things that would seem harmless, like reaching for his head to pet him, can trigger past fears and I wouldn't want to cause undo stress to your pet if it can be avoided.
A typical day
I know my dog is personally a fan of car rides so if that's something your pet would enjoy, then I have no problem taking them on errands with me! That just means more time together!
