Pet care experience
I’m 27yrs old & I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have some kind of pet! I have experience with cats & dogs of all ages, as well as bunnies, lizards, birds, & more! Whether your pup is not yet house-broken, suffers from anxiety, follows a strict medication regimen, or has a disability of any kind, I can handle it! I currently have 2 Boston Terriors (one is mostly blind)) & 3 cats of my own (all rescues). Living with my dad some years back, I helped him with his own little Rover business & bonded with all the animals, including more than a few regulars with special needs! Seizures, paralysis, disability, allergies & anaphylactic shock, or even just dogs with anxiety/aggression probably a I am usually able to befriend pretty quickly!!
Reviews
Ashley is very trustworthy and goes out of her way to be helpful before, during and after the sitting. My house always loks cleaner when I come back home than it did when I left which I admire her for. She is always my choice to help with my dog.
Ashley is wonderful! She kept me informed with photos and updates. It’s great to know that my fur baby is taken care of while I’m away. Thank you!!!
Ashley is responsive, kind and listens well.
Took great care of our dog, sent lots of pics, and kept the house looking very clean!
About Ashley M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m well-read when it comes to animal psychology, as well as training methods and habit formation! I studied education in college, and grew up surrounded by children in my moms home daycare. I know that positive reinforcement is the best teacher! I communicate well with animals & I’m not even phased by the occasional muddy paw or cat scratch. My own personal fur babies have always been provided with lots of snuggles, carefully chose treats, and TONS of toys! Never had an issue with aggression or destructive behavior, although one of mine does suffer from frequent UTIs & kidney issues, so I’m definitely not unqualified to clean up accidents properly too!, which can happen for any dog with health issues, stress, or separation anxiety. With client pets, I really try to spend as much quality time with your pet as possible! Walking multiple dogs individually to start as we build our relationship, playing with toys to bond, & lots of snuggling!! My favorite clients are the ones who allow their pets to sleep in the bed & cuddle 😂 You’ll also be updated with near daily pictures of playtime, feeding time, cuddle time, or various crazy antics your furbabies maybe be prone to committing!! Not to toot my horn, but I’m semi-decent with a camera too 😁
Information Ashley M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations! I can handle all sorts of disabilities, health conditions, behavior issues, diet restrictions, allergies, etc, with the exception of injections. I do have a personal phobia of needles, so I could probably handle something like Humira or an EpiPen where the needle is never really visible, but otherwise I may need a quick little lesson! Oral meds I can handle, whether by covering them in cheese, peanut butter, pill pockets, or standard animal pilling if they reject all the usual
A typical day
I love to go for walks in local parks or nature trails!! I’m particularly fond of Suwannee Creek Park because the distance is marked regularly and that soothes my OCD, plus it’s beautiful, shaded, & passes through varied environments! I also love dog parks, of course. Ronald Regan Park is a favorite of mine. If you’re dog is well-socialized & up to date on shots, let me know & I can arrange a dog park visit or even just take them with my on my daily 1-3mi walk for some exercise!
