Pet care experience
I am a life-long dog owner with a soft spot for rescues and dogs-in-need. I am an advocate for Pitbulls and other canines who receive breed discrimination. I specialize caring for dogs with special needs. I personally own a rescued Pitbull, a blind Australian Shepard, and a three-legged mixed breed rescue. I'm familiar with making accomadations for dogs who need extra assistance. I have a firm belief that dogs should be treated as an equal member of the family. I have a long history of volunteering at dog shelters, abandoned animal sanctuaries, and factory farm rescue shelters. I am have flexible availability and I am capable of offering extensive walks. I am familiar with various techniques to handle dogs for a smooth interaction. If need be, I'm also willing to administer medication and doggie supplements/vitamins. Can't wait to meet your dog!
Reviews
To whom it may concern: Ashley M. is a kind and warm human being and good to friend to people and animals alike. Especially to dogs! I have witnessed her interact with dogs on many occasions and they truly bring out the best in her. Ashley genuinely lights up at the presence of all dogs big and small, young and old, energetic and slower paced. They have always taken to her quickly with noticeably positive and genuinely trusting behavior. She has been so kind and interactive with the dogs I live with, Max (male German Pointer 1 year old), Molly (female Irish Wolfhound 8 years old) and an occasional tenant Winston (male Bull Dog/Pitbull mix 3-4 years old). They all adore her and shes smitten with them. She's even very patient with Max, the pointer who can be quite a handful at times. She has watched over them on multiple occasions for the day when I was out of the house. You can tell they are always sad when she leaves. Ashley is someone I would always trust taking care of my dogs and whom I fully endorse to be a pet sitter for Rover. I hope this testimony is helpful to both parties alike. Thank you, Logan H.
I have had Ashley watch my 3 dogs on numerous occasions. I have even had her watch them during my lengthy vacation out of the country. She is very good about sending pictures and correspondence so I can have peace of mind when I'm gone. She's also good with birds and fish. I would definitely recommend Ashley for anyone with pet needs.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My care depends on the animal's needs and personality. I can adapt to their requirements whether that means exercise, medicine, or just company on the couch.
Information Ashley M. would like to know about your pet
I love to know about their personality so I can customize my treatment towards them. Do they like constant attention, excersise, or do they just like to lounge around with some company? I need to know their schedule so their care doesn't skip a beat. Don't be shy if you have a dog with major disabilities, just let me know whatever they need and I'll take care of it. I also like to know the expected etiquette for the dog. Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they have any bad habits that should be prohibited? I also need to know about their behavior towards other animals just in case there is an encounter on a walk. Are they good on a lease or should I be on high alert? I also like to know if it's okay if they are allowed to have a treat because Lord knows I like to give them!
A typical day
I love scenic walks through the neighborhood. If you have a backyard, I'd be happy to throw their favorite toy until they get tuckered out. I'm also happy to walk them to a park but please advise me on if they should be extra supervised around other dogs. Don't worry, they never get let off the leash under my watch.
