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.
About Ashley M.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Ashley M. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Dogs in my care receive lots of love and distractions to give them a positive experience and keep their mind off of missing you! Basic manners such as not barging through doors, staying off counters, being polite with other dogs, etc are passively trained by reward and gentle guidance.

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.
