Hi, I'm Ashley! I love dogs and cats both, and would love the opportunity to hang out with your furry friend while you're away! I have a 9 month old Goldendoodle (Riggs) and a 5 year old grumpycat (Archer) at home, plus 3 children of the human variety. I stay home with my kids (though my real dream is to be a stay at home dog mom when they are all in school), so I have a lot of availability to suite your pets' needs. I grew up around dogs and cats, and there was always at least 1 in my house. My mom also has a zoology degree, so I have learned a lot from her as well. I am active and love to go for walks/runs with dogs, as well as love to have a good cuddle session when we get home. Because Goldendoodles are high maintenance as far as grooming, I am well versed in how to brush/maintain as well and am happy to do that. I have experience giving medication to dogs and would be comfortable with that also. I would love to meet you and your furry friend. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know and I'd be happy to share!
