Welcome to my page! ** Thank you for considering me. Right now I am booked with regular clients and I am not taking on new pet clients. If this changes in the future, I will update my information. Sending hugs out to all of your fur babies 🐱🐶 Ashley O. I have owned and taken care of pets of various sorts since I was a child. I had a pet care business when I was a preteen, I trained horses on and off over a 30-year span, I worked at a dog and cat veterinary office in my teens as a vet tech, and I had a therapy dog that I used in my counseling business for eight and a half years, until she went over the rainbow in 2020. I went through Canine Good Citizen Training through ARF and my dad taught me dog training as a kid, which I implemented with all of my dogs. I have had a deep love for animals all of my life and would be a very good fit to responsibly and lovingly care for your fur baby. For drop-ins and walks: Every owner gets a photo when I arrive and when I leave. It provides a time stamp of when I am visiting, maintains a sweet visual of owner's babies, and I love photography. So it is a win-win for everyone. I am very detail oriented and provide a report at the end with my photos and/or collage. I have been a massage and acupressure therapist and wellness instructor for over 20 years and have worked on my dogs, cats, and horses. If you need massage or acupressure therapy for your dog or cat, I can provide that service. Rover does not offer this as an option at this time, but we can discuss how to include this in your job request. If you are wanting my services and my calendar looks like I am booked on the dates you want, please message me to confirm. Sometimes I am full with dog walking but not for drop-in visits or transport visits and visa versa. The Rover app isn't always accurate, so when in doubt, message me with a request. I am Red Cross Pet First Aid certified and I have Pet Care Insurance (PCI139232). My truck has a hammock cover for the back seat, for transportation, and all dogs get buckled up for safety. I am careful to follow all directions to ensure proper care, and I am very respectful to care for a clients' home when I arrive and leave. Clients can be assured that I am very responsible, safe, trustworthy, and dependable. My pet care is individual and specialized. I enjoy learning about each pet and providing them with individualized care that best suits their needs. All dogs are kept on a leash whenever outside and are latched in when they are in my truck for transporting to appointments, parks, or day trips. I can also take your pet to the vet or groomer and bring them back to your home. Cats that like to dart out are given other greeting options to secure them indoors. I only give treats provided by owners. On days when it is over 95 degrees or if air quality is poor and an earlier or later time is not available, I provide 15-min outside walks and then indoor playtime to optimize health safety measures. I do provide cooling measures such as a wet/cool towel in my truck, water on the go, and a water spritzer to keep cool. If we don’t go in the truck, I will wet paper towels and wipe down my pups after walks to help them cool down. If owners have a small towel available on hot days, I will use that instead. It is essential that all of my pups are properly cooled off before I leave on those hot days. If there are two or more pups in the house, I highly recommend having more than one water bowl available, especially on those hot days, so I can fill them up and know they are able to stay hydrated.
