We put your and your pets’ safety first. We believe that animals have an inherent right to a high quality of life, just as we do. Because of this, we approach my interactions with your pet(s) with careful care and consideration. We are vigilant with entry and exit so nobody sneaks out. If any medicine needs to be administered, we ensure it's done in a quiet, safe, and calm environment. We work to align feeding times as closely to their typical times as possible to minimize stress. Whether your pet remains at their home or comes to visit ours, we provide thorough updates with photos and videos. Walks are performed carefully, without headphones on or any other distractions to ensure that Ashley's attention is on your dog the entire time. Besides the safety of your pet, we value your safety and peace of mind, as well. We are responsive, transparent, communicative, and accountable to you.

Reviews
Ashley was fantastic and I would use her services again in a heartbeat. She was extremely thorough in following the instructions I left and reached out with questions for anything that was unclear. Her reports were detailed with plenty of cute pictures for reassurance.
Ashley provided incredible care for our cat Henry and I truly can’t recommend her service enough. Hen can be shy with new people and gets a bit depressed when we leave for vacation. Ashley encouraged him and built trust and confidence right off the bat and they spent her visits playing and spending true quality time together. Her updates and communication are fantastic. When we returned Henry was relaxed and comfortable. Thank you Ashley!!
Ashley is wonderful with our energetic young lab! She is a great communicator, caring, and leaves detailed visit summaries while we are still learning more about our pup. She is flexible to adjust walks based on weather safety and even helped us teach Sierra to walk nicely on leash. Will be booking more in the future!
From our first meet-up, I knew our kitties would be in good hands. She went through our very lengthy instructions carefully and followed every one to the letter. We were most worried about ensuring our cat who needs a nightly injection would cooperate, but she administered the medication without issue. Her kindness, attention to detail, and the sweet photos she sent gave us complete peace of mind the whole time we were away. We were amazed that our cats were more social with her than with people they already know. We will absolutely be booking Ashley again!
