Dog/Cat Owner & Rescue Worker
Pet care experience
I volunteer 7 days a week for Bridge to Home Animal Rescue out of Eighthy Four, Pennsylvania. I love every moment. I have fostered 80+ animals. I have owned animals all my life. Currently I have two golden retrievers and 2 rescue cats of my own. My children are learning to have empathy, and have responsibility as I did when I was a child. From the time I was able to work I held volunteer and paid positions in animal shelters, rescues, and helping my friends and family with sitting and training. My husband helps out often as he’s a large part of my rescue life and thankful for that. Nursing school has helped me to be involved in the vetting process for the animals, birthing puppies, and care from seniors to puppies. Cats to kittens. I can give topical, oral, and injectable medications. I’ve worked with dogs and cats- and other animals- of all ages and sizes and it is my true passion in life.
Reviews
Our dogs absolutely loved having Ashley drop in on them! She was always on time and sent pictures and it kept our minds at ease knowing the dogs were in great hands! We will definitely be booking with Ashley again in the future!
It’s always a joy for us to see our pups so well taken care of! They are always so happy after having seen Ashley coming for the drop in visits!
Always wonderful work with the drop in visits from Ashley! 😊
Spent quality time and ensuring they had what they needed.

I have an underground fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs (golden retrievers) who are crate trained obedience trained and love other animals. I am off of any main road and live in a quiet neighborhood near a school where we often walk the dogs and take them to play ball. They are a part of my family. The cats are dog savvy and love guests as well. I am willing to offer most services dependent upon the animals ability to coexist with the animals in my home, and any service needed in the homes of clients. Different times per year change my availability but it will always be updated.
Information Ashley M. would like to know about your pet
My dogs are easy going and they have had training. If your dog has a dominant demeanor or is not altered (mine both are) then I would need to do a meet ahead of time to be sure for walks, etc. Resource guarding can’t be in the home as I have other animals and children. If you need outlets for training feel free to reach out and I can let you know a couple great ones. Also- crate trained dogs are a must. They won’t be spending a great deal of time in there as I’m gone no more than a few hours at a time but they must know how to be crated so that they don’t harm or stress themselves out when you’re gone, or when I’m gone. Food aggression isn’t tolerated as I have school aged children and because my dogs do not know these behaviors and I don’t want them introduced to it.
A typical day
We walk and hike often, go to the park, playtime outside and frequent mingo and cross creek. My children are active participants with the animals in our home. We live in a neighborhood back off the road where we also frequently walk the dogs. I take my personal dogs to baseball games and camping and even on vacation with us. Frequent grooming. I do a lot of enrichment with my dogs and the ones that are here as well.

Availability
I would work with animals 24 hours a day if I could, I handle our main page on Facebook along with my director for social media involving bridge to home animal rescue and have hand selected only the best homes for my foster dogs that I possibly can. I am stay at home parent, and my children are either in a camp, school, or with my parents when I am away from the home sitting pets or participating here with me if they are in our home. They are respectful to animals and do a great job in helping to socialize here. My personal dogs are my babies and they are loved beyond measure.
