Safety, trust & environment
Shy dogs get all the space they need and can initiate interaction on their terms, clingy dogs get lots of love and attention, and energetic dogs get engaged with lots of games and physical exertion!
Ratings and reviews
Ashley was great! She was so easy to work with and accommodating.
Ashley was absolutely fantastic! Our meet and greet with her doggos went extremely well and Harper had the time of her life while we were away. Ashley kept us updated with multiple photos throughout the day! 10/10 recommend!
Ashley was great with my pup! She is very knowledgeable about dog’s behavior and she has a lot of patience! She took the time to make it fun and played with her in a large and secured yard!! I will definitely use her services again!
There is absolutely nothing I can say about Ashley that isn’t great. She is a lovely human with such a large heart for dogs. Our two dogs had such a great time with her and she sent us many update photos.
Ashley is THE BEST. She is so knowledgeable and has a ton of experience. Our dog is really sensitive and has anxiety, but Ashley have us a ton of pupdates and put us at ease throughout our entire trip. We are so grateful for Ashley’s care, and we hope that Penny can stay with her again!
Ashley was able to watch our pup last minute and we’re so glad we found her! Our boy was safe and well taken care of. He played lots and she sent the cutest pictures. Her dogs are very kind and cute as well ? I am very happy with our boarding experience.

Schedule
I treat every dog like my own, and the way I would hope to be treated if I was in their position: with endless patience, kindness, and sensitivity. All dogs in my care enjoy a managed environment prioritizing safety, comfort, fairness, and fun. Good manners are encouraged through the day with numerous opportunities to earn rewards, and I keep an anxiety-soothing routine with healthy periods of play, rest, mental stimulation, and physical exercise.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsAshley can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- If your dog has shown any aggression toward other dogs before or if they haven't been socialized with other dogs please let me know so I can be prepared.
