Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals more than humans 🐾
Hi, I’m Ash! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a cozy, pet-friendly home and six pets of my own. Your dog will be welcomed as part of the pack and cared for with plenty of attention, enrichment, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’ve also completed classes in dog behavior and training, which helps me understand each pet’s unique personality, needs, routines, and quirks. I’m detail-oriented, safety-minded, and committed to making every stay comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I carry pet-care insurance through PCI and am conveniently located about 15 minutes from Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), making drop-offs and pickups easy for travelers.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ashley was so incredibly kind during Hendrix's stay with her. I felt so at peace leaving my dog with her. Loved how she communicated and made sure I got updates and pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend her!
Ashely is an easy person to work with and she got my dog Mia occupied and her dogs loved Mia right away. Mia was so excited to see her when I dropped her off. I would recommend anyone for boarding at her place. I will def coming back and use her services again.
Best pet sitter. 2nd time dropping off my dog with her. She sends you a lot of pictures and videos while you are away. The dogs have so much fun definitely recommend!
A peace of mind- that’s the best way to describe my experience with Ashley. She is responsive and professional, I like that she asked me a lot of questions at the beginning. While I was away I received many photos and updates. She took care of my little snacker so well. 12/10 I will be booking with her again.
A++ dog sitter! Sent me plenty of photos and updates during my dog’s stay. My dog didn’t want to leave he was so happy with Ashley!
Ashley has been amazing sitter. She treated Roxy like her own. We were frequently being updated with pics and videos and relaxed while we were on an extended trip to India. Ashley also helped with pick up and drop off our pet which helped make this journey very smooth for us. Our dog learnt few good things and how to live with Cats while she was at Ashley’s place. I recommend Ashley for any pet care and services and thank her for taking care of my puppy.

Schedule
I’m fortunate to provide full-time, attentive pet care from home. As a natural homebody, I enjoy gardening, baking, making homemade soaps, and, most of all, spending time with my kids and pets. When appropriate for each dog, I love taking outings and hikes at parks around Houston. I have a passenger van that can safely accommodate multiple pets, complete with dog seat belts for secure transportation. For dogs who are not comfortable with walks or may need a calmer environment, I provide plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, and fresh-air fun in our home and yard.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My fully fenced backyard is a dedicated dog play space with fun enrichment activities, including a pool, splash pad, balance equipment, and more. I’m always making thoughtful upgrades to keep the space engaging and enjoyable. Inside, I provide toys, lick and sniff mats, treat puzzles, and a variety of kennel sizes to help pets stay comfortable and mentally stimulated. Safety is always my priority. During brief errands, dogs are safely kenneled unless they are known to be comfortable and trustworthy outside of a crate. Pets are also fed separately or in their kennels to support calm, safe mealtimes and help prevent food-related conflicts. Please let me know in advance if your dog is not crate trained so we can discuss the best arrangement for their stay.
Pets
A typical day
I provide daily walks, weather permitting, with two nearby neighborhood parks for fresh air and exploration. I’m experienced walking multiple dogs and tailor activities to each pet’s energy level, comfort, and individual needs. At home, dogs can enjoy supervised backyard water play, from chasing the hose to splashing in the pool. On rainy or very hot days, we keep busy indoors with tug, chase, hide-and-seek, cardboard enrichment, scent games, and treat puzzles. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are closely supervised as I move through my daily routines—whether they choose to hang out nearby, play, or relax in the yard. I understand that every dog is different, especially those with separation anxiety, and I adjust care, activity, and comfort measures to help each guest feel safe, calm, and at home.
