Pet care experience
Your dog's new best friend.🐾
Hi! We're Ashley & Lili (or, LD - the D is for dog). I've had dogs for over 20 years from puppies to super seniors. Lili is a trained therapy dog who volunteers with elders and children regularly. Handling dogs with medical needs is no issue for us. We'd be honored to host your dog for some fun and new friends!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Very communicative and sent a lot of pictures while dog sitting! Highly recommend

Ashley was incredible and able to accommodate my last minute request! My dog came home from daycare very happy and well taken care of

Ashley was an absolute fairy godmother. She took care of Earl Grey during a rainy day and I could tell he had a blast with her. He slept like a baby that night and I was able to sleep in the morning after! Thank you Ash!

Ashley has watched my dog Max many times, and he is so happy with her! Max is anxious and doesn’t warm to just anyone, but Ashley’s fun, calm, and loving personality make him feel safe and at home. Max loves playing with Ashley’s dog Lili, who is a trained therapy dog and is a very good influence on Max. They snuggle and play like best friends! Ashley is also very responsible and I fully trust her to handle Max’s complicated medication schedule. Thank you, Ashley, for all you do for Max and me! 💕
Ashley has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dogs, DaisyMay and Girly. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. From the very first time she cared for them, it was clear how genuinely compassionate, attentive, and experienced she is with animals. DaisyMay and Girly can both be a handful in their own ways (they are both over 14 years old), but Ashley handles them with so much patience, love, and confidence. She takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and needs, and it shows—my dogs are always happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I return home. What really sets Ashley apart is her reliability and communication. She consistently keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. I never have to worry when they’re in her care. It’s such a relief to have someone I fully trust with my pets, and I’m so grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Ashley is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and again!
I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough to anyone seeking a caregiver for their dog. Within our circle of friends and family, Ashley is the "Go-To Dog Mom." Whenever one of us needs advice or care for our pets, she is the first person we call. Ashley is a rare combination of love and composure when it comes to her dog friends. She doesn’t just provide playtime, positive reinforcement, and affection; she has an incredible ability to remain calm and loving dealing with behavioral or medical needs. Her dedication is best seen in her relationship with her own dog, Lili. As a trained service animal, Lili accompanies Ashley to volunteer at elder care facilities and schools. Seeing the way Ashley manages a working dog in sensitive environments speaks volumes about her discipline, empathy, and understanding of dog psychology. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like family while maintaining the highest standards of safety and care, Ashley is the perfect choice.

Schedule
I work 100% remotely and have flexibility for walks and playtime during the day as needed/wanted. I live one block off Gantry State Park for a nice long walks along the waterfront and a "woof top" in my building for dogs to run and play! You'll always receive pup-dates of our adventures during the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'll treat your dog as I treat my own and support sloppy kisses and snuggles! Dogs are allowed on furniture and wherever makes them happiest in the house - even if it's on my lap for the entire day.
Pets
A typical day
When we're inside, we have many puzzle toys to keep your dogs playful and stimulated during the day. There are also many cozy places to take a snooze and recharge. We have a dog water fountain, so your dog will never be thirsty. When it's time to go outside, we will either get some runs out on my building's private dog park, the woof-top, for some fun. Then we'll take a stroll 1 block to Gantry State Park along the East River waterfront. We'll take a walk along the river to the Pepsi-Co sign and back down Hunter's Point South. We'll stop for sniffs, pets, and enjoy the breeze!
