Pets are naturally part of my daily life! I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals in the past, so caring for pets is already built into my routine. Whether it's feeding, cleaning, playing, or giving love and attention, I make time each day to ensure animals feel safe and happy. I'm home often, which allows me to give pets the consistent care and companionship they deserve throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are treated like family. I offer a calm, welcoming environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore or relax. We also have a peaceful pond area that many pets enjoy watching. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine consistent, give them comfort, and respect their space like it’s my own.

Information Ashley M. would like to know about your pet
Great question! Here are important things I should know before watching someone’s dog—these help me give the best care, avoid surprises, and stay safe: 1. Feeding Instructions How much and how often? Any allergies or food restrictions? 2. Potty Routine How often do they go out? Are they house trained or crate trained? 3. Temperament & Behavior Are they good with kids, strangers, or other pets? Any history of aggression, fear, or anxiety? 4. Medical Needs Any medications, conditions, or recent vet visits? Emergency vet info just in case? 5. Activity Level Are they energetic or more chill? Favorite games or toys? 6. Crate or Bedtime Routine Do they sleep in a crate, bed, or need help settling down? 7. Escape Risks Are they runners, jumpers, or door dashers? 8. Commands & Training What commands do they know (e.g. sit, stay, come)? Any behavior issues you're working on? 9. Triggers or Fears Thunderstorms, fireworks, loud noises, etc. Things that may cause stress or overexcitement? 10. Owner Preferences Can they be on furniture? Any routines or rules you'd like me to follow?
A typical day
Fun Activities I Offer for Dogs: 🐾 Playtime in the Yard – I have a spacious, fenced yard perfect for fetch, tug-of-war, or just zoomies in the sunshine. 🐾 Walks and Exploration – Leashed walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks to burn energy and sniff new scents. 🐾 Pond Watching – I have a serene pond with ducks in the back that dogs love to observe (safely fenced, of course!). 🐾 Indoor Cuddle & Toy Time – For more relaxed dogs, we’ll play with toys or curl up together inside for cozy downtime. 🐾 Photo Updates - I love sending cute pics of our adventures and happy moments so you know your pup is having fun.

Caring for Pets like Family
Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my whole life growing up with dogs, cats, and even small animals gave me a strong foundation in compassionate and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through while others travel, where I stayed in people’s homes and looked after their animals like they were my own. I’ve also spent time fostering animals, helping them adjust to new environments and providing them with love and routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just companionship, I’m experienced and comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments from playful puppies to shy rescues
