Experienced, kind, fun dog lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs all my life and I would love to have the chance to board yours. My experience includes many years as a Rover dog sitter, plus one year as a professional dog walker. You can see I have lots of reviews from satisfied customers. Until recently, I had a senior Field Spaniel named Sam, whom I raised since he was a puppy. Now my family and I are raising a Field Spaniel puppy named Baldwin. I am a retired public relations professional turned stay-at-home mom. I am punctual, knowledgeable, personable and a dog lover. I have lots of time for long walks and snuggles with your pooch. We go to PetSmart, the Coffee Shop for a Pup Cup and on drives to pick up my daughter if your dog likes the car. I have worked with all kinds of breeds, many types of harnesses and I’m very familiar with the Silver Spring area. I have good judgement and will keep your dog safe and happy while we are together.

Ashley is such a warm and loving dog person that we felt very lucky to have our pup stay with her for four nights. She has a huge fenced-in yard and an adorable puppy of her own as a playmate for our dog. When you go away you want to be confident that your dog is well-cared for and Ashley ensures that your dog is in great hands. We came home to a very happy dog!

Ashley and her family are the perfect choice for pet sitting. She has a very warm and welcoming home for your pet. She is very easy to work with in terms of scheduling drop offs and pick-ups. She is very diligent to send pictures and keep you posted on how your pet is doing during the visit. We feel she provides a safe and loving environment for your pet. She is very conveniently located inside the beltway. Thank you for all the little extras you provide, to give us peace of mind, when we leave our fur baby.

This was our first visit with Ashley and little Chelsea couldn’t have been happier (as was her mom) during her “weekend away.” It’s a comfortable, happy space with a nice yard to run and Ashley couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. I really appreciate her help and hope to to return soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and typically join my family in our day-to-day life. They usually prefer to sleep upstairs in one of our bedrooms. My husband works from home during the week and I come and go as I do my volunteer work and errands. Dogs spend time with my family, which includes a teen daughter and a 20-year-old daughter.

Information Ashley M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog's quirks and routine. I like to know where they like to sleep, how much they eat and when, and any medicine they take. Also if they have any bathroom preferences such as "won't go on the leash." I'm afraid we won't be able to take dogs who bark a lot during the day because my husband is often on conference calls. If you decide to board with me, I will text you a link to a form with questions about your dog. That way, I will have the information I need to care for your dog while you are away.

A typical day

We like to explore interesting smells, sights and sounds in my neighborhood. If the owner approves, we may take a field trip to the dog park on Colesville Road or to the local pet store for a treat. My back yard is also an interesting place to run around. Often if I have a quick drive, the dog will go with me and put their heads out the window. I have a doggie toy box for them to explore. And they are welcome to nap in my living room on a dog bed.
